I have a feeling Birmingham will continue to underperform both xG and xGA. Still giving away set piece goals and Kyogo must be on for one of the most horrific chance conversion rates ever seen. Stansfield is very average in that regard as well. Plus we score in bunches which doesn't help results. Average xG of 1.8 is fine but not if that's two 4s preceded by a load of nils. Elsewhere, interesting to see how much better Sheffield United are now.
You're right about Kyogo right now, but remember that cold streaks rarely last forever and sometimes go the other way. And I know what you mean by Stansfield being streaky finishing but across his Championship seasons for Blues he has scored 16 non penalty goals from 12.5 non pen xG.
One of those players where the goals he does score are often not easy chances, but he seems less good at converting big chances?
