Taken from an article by the sack race where they look at our seasons rise.
The data behind Coventry’s rise
Coventry have been interesting in the data.
They create a lot of chances, the fifth most in League One at the time of writing yet their xG suggests these opportunities are not high quality given they are the seventh worst for xG in the division.
They have been excellent at the back conceding just 28 times in the league this season, only Sunderland have allowed less goals (26) against while their xGA backs this up, being the fourth best in the third tier.
You could argue that Robins should look for ways to create better scoring chances, but his team are doing just fine and as long as the defence remains solid, they should keep winning, or at least not losing.
(Doesn't this explain why our strikers do not get the return we would hope for or atleast in part give an explanation of sort ... Not trying to argue btw)
