Who's eating at Not The Top Table? #007
T-Rex? More like xG-Wrex. And what's that, a new manager bounce?
Well, hello.
Our xG form guides for the EFL have been updated 👇
There’s a real feast to tuck into ahead of a mouth-watering mid-week slate.

🦖 EATING: Wrexham
Tough for a T-Rex to sneak into a conversation, but in a way it feels that’s exactly what Wrexham have done. Not the conversation about their promotion chances — that’s been loud for months. But the quieter chats we tend to have around these parts about underlying numbers.
Over the season, Wrexham’s profile is quietly robust. However, their rolling xG ratio over the last 10 games shows a side with teeth, or claws, or something sharp. Their xG is up, their xGD is up, their xGA is down, their xG total is down. They are doing better in both boxes and that tells in dominant spell on the pitch and in the numbers.
❓HUNGRY: The Bottom 5 Quiz

Answer: Four out of five.
Which makes the recent xG picture especially interesting, with all the usual sample-size caveats attached.
