Why we kept five clean sheets.

I just think we’re clicking at the moment and thateybd happens when you’re in good form.

Luck also seems to come back when you have form as well, Posh could still have punished us but they didn’t, small differences from being in 7th and slowly dropping down.

Burnley were considerably ahead of us a little while ago, they’ve lost their luck while we’ve found ours.

It would be interesting to see a ‘wave’ graph of how different teams move about the positions over a Season, outside of the top echelons of course who seem to just swap positions.

Us
Newcastle
Brighton
Burnley ( not so much yet )
Swansea
Palace
West Ham
Stoke
WBA
Huddersfield

Would all make an interesting wave chart.

I think it’s down to two things:

1. Genuine tactical work helping players improve their games and cut out chances.
2. Luck. There have been way too many examples of teams failing to take advantage of our defensive mistakes recently. That will change.

We don’t look solid yet but we do look better. Once again, credit Puel for adjusting our style and tactics to improve a real weakness.

I don't think luck comes into five clean sheets. its not very complimentary to the work the back five have done?
If you don't think we look solid with only one goal in six games what is solid?

You have to take into account who played and where into it.

Huddersfield at home - they are on free fall
Fleetwood
Chelsea - excellent result but they were poor up front.
Fleetwood
Watford at home - in Freefall and helped to lose Silva his job.

I’m not taking anything away because it’s still a good run but apart from Chelsea not exactly top teams were they!

Now a clean sheet tonight, that would be

Or tomorrow even, tonight will be an easy clean sheet.

Sorry Nev, I do believe luck comes in to it. Teams have missed big chances and we’ve only really played Chelsea with attacking quality.

hmmm Chelsea away premier league champions well when was the last time we kept fiv clean sheets agsinst anyone. I am not saying we chould not of beaten them but clean sheets are a rare commodity but we are defending differently and Kasper being unwelded from his line must have something to do with it.

Haha it’s ALL about Kasper!

Its because we are keeping the ball better, if we have the ball the other team cant score..
