A couple of ITFC things I've picked out:
Expected Goals for we were pretty decent - both in open play and set pieces - from open play our xG differed to Peterborough by 0.8 goals but they scored 22 more than us that's mad.
Expected Goals against - pretty similar, but were didn't concede as many as we should have done from set pieces
Pass build up - we were the 3rd slowest team in building with regards to how far forward passes progressed, and with a near exact com bo of short and long passes - shows no clear style bar being slow on the ball
Pressing - bar Rotherham we were the most effective pressers in the league with 9.3 passes allowed per defensive action
James Norwood - high up on Expected goals per 90 minutes with 0.71 per 90 minutes played, but shows he often shoots in 'low clarity' chances. 8 (non-penalty) goals from an xG of 11.9. But ho many chances he gets is a real positive.
Alan Judge - in 10th place in the league for expected assists from open play and 7th out of all midfielders - again impressive and dspite a disappointing season can see why he stayed in the team as was the one creating chances even when we struggled as a team
Kayden jackson - 3rd best expected assists for forwards in the league - his was actually slightly lower than Alan Judge but ended up with lots more assists so shows a fair bit of luck involved
Tomas Holy - Just wsn't tested much - should've conceded 14.5 goals but actually conceded 16, so a negative for him. No stats for Norris
Flynn Downes - 8th in the league for midfielders for initiating pasing sequnces by winning the ball back - most above him are genuine DMs rather than box to box
