On the model's scale they rate 0.61 in attack and 1.44 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Championship averages of 0.75 and 1.36: below the division's average in attack, about average at the back. Across their last 5 league matches they have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, most recently losing to Norwich 0-5 at home.
