Only three Championship teams have scored more goals than us.
You keep calling people idiots, deluded, arrogant for basing their position on just 7 games, yet your whole philosophy seems to be based entirely on that.
I'll lower myself to a response against my better judgement.
It was a tongue in cheek (admittedly sarcastic) response to Birdman's claim we're poor in attack. Of course it's ridiculous to use a 7 game stat, which Birdman rightly points out is skewed by the Hull result. And no, we don't look lethal and fluid. That being said, we are getting goals, and I'm more concerned about our defensive game.
The stats do say we're the 4th (joint) highest scoring side in the division, which proves how mis-leading picking and choosing stats is. They can be tailored to fit any argument.
Again, using stats, we're still only 3 points away from a play off position. Not a bad position considering all the doom and gloom on here.
No doubt it looks closer than it is due to how early we're in. Let's wait until 15-20 games which will give us a clearer and more realistic picture of where we are.
We could be struggling towards the bottom, we could be in healthy play off place. We don't know. That's why we love the game.
