It is a good article, also shows that apart from a lack of goals outside of the top 6, nobody is really able to dominate the remainder of the games between the sides outside the top 6, much of a muchness between the rest.

Hard to say who is right in their aproach either, you have Rafa Benitez and Chris Hughton, being relatively defensive whoever the opposition, then you have Eddie Howe and Dave Wagner being more attack minded, or is this just a myth? Ive seen quite a few of our games where we have looked to take the game to the opposition but ultimately lacked the quality to kill off the opposition. Likewise im sure Bournemouth and Huddersfield have had back to the wall performances at times too.

What it does scream out, for me anyway, is that apart from Leicester, nobody has a particularly decent striker who can sniff out a chance from nothing.

Lets hope Locadia can be just that.

At least we are not the only ones and over half the league appear to be trying to compete with us.

That said if we could defend corners we'd probably be sat just behind Burnley
