What's happened to Josh Keeley this season in League One❓

@lutontown.co.uk have the 2nd worst GK record: a SOT has a 42% probability of evading The Hatters' gloveman vs. a 34% division average. 🥅

#LOFC strategy tonight: test the GK early and often, even with ½ chances. ⚽

🆕 Attacking & defending match-to-match consistency charts for all teams in English ⚽ tiers 1-4.

Interpretation: show the % difference (➕ve or ➖ve) against a statistical baseline model of team consistency.

Best interpreted with the matching averages for each stat: one can be consistently bad!

⚽ This season in League One, @leytonorientfc.bsky.social have a better record than @lutontown.co.uk of:

✅ Creating chances
✅ Finishing
✅ Denying goals from SOT

#LOFC's weak point – the defence conceding the 2nd most SOT in the division.

Can the back 4 step up on Monday at Kenilworth Road? 🥅

@shrewsburytown.com have the worst shot-stopping record in @skybetleagueone.bsky.social this season, with a goals conceded/SOT conceded ratio of 42.4%. It has taken an average of 2.4 SOT across all matches for #Salop to concede. More visualisations: public.tableau.com/app/profile/... #LOFC

@leytonorientfc.bsky.social have a rock-solid defence in
League One this season: the 2nd fewest SOT conceded (after Huddersfield) and the fewest corners conceded. The poor GK performance (goals/SOT conceded) has improved significantly since Oct. More viz: public.tableau.com/app/profile/... #LOFC

It didn't really change until Charlie Hasler took over as head groundsman at #LOFC and changed the way they laid the grass, using far more sand for better drainage.

@leytonorientfc.bsky.social vs. Bristol Rovers F.C.

Definitely a match that #LOFC can win this evening. The Pirates are weak in attack AND defence: this season in @skybetleagueone.bsky.social, the visitors have created the second lowest no. of SOT and have conceded the second highest no. of SOT.

UK govt borrowing costs are higher today than at the time of the Sep-2022 Liz Truss/Kwasi Kwarteng mini-budget, which "broke the market" as investors rightly poured scorn on their discredited growth plans. Labour's Oct-2024 £40bn tax smash & grab is equally heading for the bin.
