8th best on clean sheets, and we have won a lot of games, compared to drawing.
We've certainly won more games that were destined to be draws than we've lost, which is one of the reasons we're as high up the table as we are.

8th best this season for clean sheets yet one of our poorest in 19 seasons at this level is a bit of an eye opener which needed a little more investigating.

There have been 271 clean sheets in the Championship this season with 3 rounds of matches to go. The number of clean sheets in the last few seasons reads 333, 328, 355 and 291. It may not surprise you that in the seasons with more clean sheets, there were fewer goals scored. This season there have been 1371 goals scored in the Championship, higher than all of the previous three seasons. In 2019/20 there were 1457 goals scored and, with 36 games left, there's every chance that figure will be overtaken.

So the clean sheets stat looks ok for this season in context with this season being one of lots of goals and fewer clean sheets overall.
