Rescuing Blades’ season: Final third possession is key #twitterblades #Championship

A tough ask for #SUFC, with Sky Blues flying high, in the league and in chances created and allowed as measured by xG. The good news in the background for #twitterblades is that the gap between xG and xG is narrowing. It wasn't until the intl break but now it is

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

@thelfadotcom Are there spectators at these matches? Maybe a silly question. Apologies

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Brace yourselves, lads n lasses! This evening is going to be a huge test. Chart shows xG for and against so far this season (ie, chances created measured in shots - Opta data) #shusou #twitterblades

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

It's early days, of course, but it seems to show what the eye has seen. We're trying a pressing game but not succeeding v well so far.
Progressive passes = Completed passes that move the ball towards opp goal line at least 10yds in last six passes, or into the pen area.

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Sheffield United's key problem? This shows progressive passes for and against for #eflchampionship teams. #twitterblades a real low-end outlier, allowing the opp to make progressive passes against. #ipfc tight as a duck's proverbial #ipsshu

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

@garethn Initial data reveald the geese failed to get into the final third very much but made things difficult in central areas.

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Portsmouth - when they've won, they've won quite big, mostly at home. Here's their results / table from https://t.co/GnogkMLQJH

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

#twitterblades and Portsmouth non-pen xG and xGA (chances created / given away) #SHUPOR

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Blades v Norwich. Both teams create and give away chances in similar proportion. But Norwich don't do v well against teams above them, or even in the top half of the table (see the @soccerstatscom table). We should have too much for them #SHUNOR #twitterblades

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

WBA create a similar number of chances as #twitterblades. But let in lots more. Also - according to @soccerstatscom - they can't beat or finish off teams above them. Hoping it stays that way today #shuwba

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

@garethn @soccerstatscom Ah, the old 'Big chances' swung it, I think

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Boxing day at #twitterblades. Burnley create less chances than United while giving up about the same. @soccerstatscom data show they tend to do better against lower-placed teams and haven't lost since early Nov. Big game.

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

#Millwall have built up a lot of xG (ie, chances created). They also get in the opp box a lot, as much as @twitterblades. But they don't convert chances as often and their defence is leaky. They're not bad tho so no pushover. Lots of draws lately, like WBA #MILSHU

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Blades and West Brom xG and xG against. Similar amounts of chances created. West Brom a little more leaky. Close game on the cards tho #twitterblades #WBASHU

[S2Stats @S2Stats]

Blades vs #Sunderland. Chances created and given away are similar for the season so far. But recent form seems to favour #twitterblades. Should be a cracking match tho #SHUSUN (thanks to @soccerstatscom for the form table)

Comparing keepers. Shot stopping in the #EFL #Championship. How Opta rated shot vs keepers actual attempts to save them #twitterblades

@SamTheOwl7 Here's how he ranks for shot stopping in the division
