None of this surprises me, our first choice defence appear in both tables, reinforcing that we have the most effective defence in the championship. The midfifelders also score well. The wingers, Gnonto, apart are a bit hit and miss. Aaronson is doing a decent job as a number 10. And the strikers aren't quite firing on all cylinders. Meslier's low scores more or less reflect how little he has had to do.
