Opta figures explain Irons problems
An unforced error is classed a mistake made by the player which is not due to the opponent’s skill or effort.
These were the primary contributory factors of why we lost at home to Bournemouth after mistakes by Aaron Cresswell and Carl Jenkinson and a primary reason why we dropped points at home to Norwich after Noble’s unforced error when side pass to Tomkins went horribly wrong.
When you take away those two home games you are left with a West Ham two nil home win against Newcastle and a loss against a Leicester City who were unbeaten in the league and up to Saturday.
Maybe we shouldn’t panicking about our home form just yet and instead concentrate on eliminating these errors from our games.
After all, that what Slaven Bilic said from the outset whilst clever theories were put forward about midfielders not filling in behind advancing wing backs and all the rest of it. 🙂
