Also, Ellis gave us the aerial threat at the end of last season that Cameron gives us now. In fact I'd say Cameron is a bigger threat.
We are scoring at a higher rate and some credit has to be given to Alex Clapham in making sure we attack set pieces using our strengths so Cameron from corners, Ruben and Roberts from free kicks etc. I know it sounds obvious but it still had to be done.
When I get chance I'll try to add some more data around the corner/free kick takers as well as scorer's. Then when I've done that I'll look at the defensive side of things, maybe this weekend as there is no game for us.
