One team will work out how to stop them scoring from corners, and then everyone will do it.
17th in the league table from goals scored in open play. Even George Graham would wince at that.

That can't be real. Absolutely astonishing.

Real.

Ah so it's 17th for percentage of goals scored from open play, rather than total number. Still pretty mental.

But it's literally no different to those xG twats on Twitter who insist that Villa shouldn't be third because goals from twenty yards are harder to score than goals from two yards.

But it does indicate a Pulisesque style of football perhaps.. or at least that should be thrown at them to wind them up

Can you just imagine what a piece of piss it would have been to win the league if we still had our key 3 midfielders.
