Premier League
Over 38 matches, Nottingham Forest create most danger down their left (1.20× the league norm), and concede most through the middle (1.04×).
Nottingham Forest, 2023/24, final 35m. A further 1% of their shots came from outside this window.
vs league average, 1.00 marked, share of xG
Nottingham Forest get the ball into dangerous areas less often than most, and hurt you more than most when they do.
5.6 deep completions a match
8.8 conceded a match
21.3 opponent passes per defensive action
10.6 of their own passes allowed
0.241 npxG per deep completion
A deep completion is a pass finished within about twenty yards of goal, and PPDA counts an opponent’s passes per defensive action. A lower figure is a harder press, so the bar inverts it to keep every row reading the same way. This describes where the ball ends up rather than how it travelled: no pass or carry record exists in this data, so progressive passes and carries are genuinely out of reach rather than merely absent.
Nottingham Forest concede more down their left: similar volume, but the chances they allow are far better.
Shots on the weak flank per shot on the strong one
xG per shot on the weak flank versus the strong one
Set pieces are excluded, since a corner has no flank. Sides within ten points of an even split are treated as level, since a season is short enough that smaller gaps are usually noise.
Nottingham Forest take 13% of their open-play danger from crosses and 14% from balls played through the middle.
Measured from the action immediately before each shot. This shows whether a side works the ball wide or through the middle; which flank they progress down cannot be derived, because no free source publishes pass locations.
Nottingham Forest’s attacking involvement is effectively 11.0 players. A side spread across fourteen absorbs an absence that one built on nine does not.
31.0% of their attacking involvement is doubtful or out. Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga.
Share of the squad’s non-penalty xG, plus expected assists, plus half the build-up value of its midfielders and forwards — what a player finished, what they created, and half of what they moved. Involvement rather than chances: build-up credits every player in a possession, so this says how much of the attack runs through someone, not what fraction of the chances were theirs. Defenders are left out of that half deliberately, because build-up rewards whoever starts a possession and counting it for everybody found centre-backs rather than ball-carriers. The half itself is a judgement, not a measurement: weighting it properly needs per-match lineups, and those begin this season. Penalties are left out because they describe who the club nominates rather than who creates. Contributors under 2% are not listed, though they still count towards the spread above.
The pass immediately before the shot, so a player who starts moves without playing the final ball will not appear here. Roughly seven in ten shots name their creator.
Nottingham Forest produce most of their danger with the game level (48% of their xG).
The scoreline at the moment each shot was struck, rebuilt from goal times. Sides that trail often will look busier in attack than they really are.
