Only 2 sides have conceded fewer goals from open play in the Championship than us, but we're one of 7 sides who have the joint 3rd highest record of conceding from set pieces (3). Despite concerns over a lack of height at the back, only 3 of the 8 goals we've conceded have been headers, 2 of them from set pieces. The 3 headed goals we have conceded have been arguably more due to poor marking and good balls into the box, rather than issues of height. Only Bristol City's opening goal was one where a City defender was beaten in the air. I reckon that individual errors have cost us 2 of the 8 goals we've let in.
Only Millwall have faced a higher percentage of attempts at goal from outside the box than us while only 3 sides have faced fewer attempts from inside the 6 yard box. That suggests we have defended our penalty area very well.
