I was reading somewhere (not here) someone mentioned Burnley had 11 shots on target and score 9 after 3 games, so I went to checked us and Burnley
3 League Games - XG - Goals - Shots (on / off / blocked)
QPR
v WBA - xG 0.87 - Goal = 1 - Shots 11 (6 on / 3 off / 2 blocked)
v Sheff Utd - xG 0.63 - Goals = 2 - Shots 14 (3 on / 2 off / 9 blocked)
v Plymouth - xG 2.26 - Goal = 1 - Shots 30 (10 on / 10 off / 10 blocked)
3 games average - xG 1.25 - Goals = 4 - Shots 55 (19 on / 14 off / 22 blocked)
Burnley
v Luton - xG 1.21 - Goals = 4 - Shots 11 (6 on / 3 off / 2 blocked)
v Coventry - xG 0.76 - Goals = 5 - Shots 9 (4 on / 4 off / 1 blocked)
v Sunderland - xG 0.11 - Goals = 0 - Shots 4 (1 on / 2 off / 1 blocked)
3 games average - xG 0.69 - Goals 9 - Shots 24 (11 on / 9 off / 4 blocked)
- QPR has more than twice the shots 55 v 24 than Burnley but produced only 4 goals and Burnley have more than double 9
- QPR shots on target to goal percentage is 34.5%, Burnley are 44%
- QPR blocked shots are 40% of their total shots - almost one shot in 2 are blocked
- There is no short of chances, but our goals return is quite poor compared to Burnley
- Burnley did score 9 goals with 11 shots on target in 3 games - 81.82% conversion rate, QPR - 21.05% for 4 goals for 19 shots on target
- Is it our strikers problem or teams just mass defence against us?
- Note Burnley had total 4 shots on target against Coventry scoring 5 because Coventry had scored an own goal

Interesting… we aren’t moving the ball to quick enough would be my guess |  | | |

Burnley are the outlier there, I’d suggest, not us. So possible (likely) results and score lines have flattered them. We obviously deserved to beat Fulham comfortably as the xG stats indicate, so we arguably could be see as currently being a tad hard done by when it comes to points on the board.
It’s incredibly earlier in the season and therefore a small sample size. If we average 18 shots a game, we will score goals.
Need to wait to see how the land lies after about 10 games. |  | | |

I do have the impression that we get more blocked shots against us than other teams.
It seems to me that we don't stretch defences enough so that when we get the ball into the area their defence is already set to defend against us. Maybe that is also why we don't get many penalties because we're rarely running into the box at speed.
We played the ball quickly early on on Saturday which is when we caused them more issues but then we reverted to a more ponderous approach.
It is early days this season though and I'm optimistic with our new attacking players and everyone gelling a bit more this is going to improve. Celar was getting on the end of more balls in yesterday which is encouraging.. |  | | |
