Conference Week 32


With the number of Conference games played being so uneven I've included the shots per game number as well to give the table some more context.
Also, Forest Green have now had their three points deduction applied for fielding an ineligible player, hence the *.
And finally, Macclesfield are the latest team to break my charts. Their PDO was off the scale, so I had to expand it.

League One Week 27


These protracted weeks of games are a killer.
Anyway, here's League One with the division on roughly week 27.
Incidentally, Crawley are so bad I had to extend my x-axis to fit them on the chart. A below 30% shots on target share really is abysmal, woeful, just... well, you get the point.
Sorry to Crawley fans but although you're still within touching distance of safety, the team is already playing League Two football.
To everyone else, sorry if the graph looks a bit offset, that's because it is - blame Crawley!

Championship Week 26


Very quick data hit this time as the week 27 matches are spread over the course of a week thanks to the FA Cup.

Of note, Derby's last minute defeat to local rivals Nottingham Forest saw the Rams drop to third but their PDO take a dip of just 0.51.

So, that could be a painful trip down the table if/when their PDO begins a proper regression.
It might be worth Derby fans taking a look at Charlton's progress for how that might go.

Also, as pretty much expected Norwich's good form continued under Alex Neil and the Canaries are now just a point away from the playoffs.
If he does absolutely nothing to change the team at all for the rest of the season and other teams' PDO regression takes effect as expected, then Neil's side should be comfortably in the playoffs and potentially challenging the top two.
