I don’t know how true that is (that we are coughing up more chances) we did yesterday for sure, but against Fulham, West Ham and even Chelsea and Newcastle basically the only real chances the opposition had were the ones they scored from. True we have kept one clean sheet away from home since September (and that was away at Preston in the league cup) which given how we kept 21 clean sheets away from home in the league over the past two seasons is uncharacteristic.

Yet that seems to be balanced out by keeping more clean sheets at home, before midweek against Palace we kept four clean sheets in a row at home.

And we’ve only conceded one more goal than we had at the same point last season in the league
