Jesus it never rains. Looked like he'd just rolled his ankle! Defo need another forward now, and either a second or a ten. Ffs

The Whites are undefeated in their last eight games and sit alongside Arsenal as the only team in the top four divisions yet to concede a goal in 2023

Barring Barnsley - which feels slightly anomalous, but I respect its right to exist - we haven't won away at a team (currently) higher than 17th.

I think that's a good gauge as to how far the top 3 (4) are ahead of us

Like today, an expected ŕesult.

Quick note as am annoyingly busy today, but we are the hardest-pressing team in the division:

...so it's a bit annoying that Charlton, our only close rivals on that score, have had more than twice as many shots resulting from high-press turnovers (third column).

Also perhaps worth noting that Wigan, broadly agreed to have hassled us out of the game at ours, are among the least pressing sides. Also worth noting how their playing style is much more laidback than most in the division (and I see we've moved back towards that lower-right quadrant after speeding up a lot last season):

(In case you're wondering, the stripey badge in the 'long ball' top-left corner is Stevenage - with fellow promotees Carlisle second-longest, while Orient (two dragons) and Northampton (purple) are slightly slower/passier than average.)
