9 stats behind Preston North End's season with one clear concern and one clear strength

Preston North End’s points tally of 63 saw them finish 10th in Ryan Lowe’s third season at Deepdale. The Lilywhites started the campaign on fire and went top of the league, but then had a tough three months of results. North End picked up again after the new year, to reignite hopes of a play-off push - before ultimately falling away late on. But, where do the Lilywhites place for several key stats, after 46 games? We take a look through, here.

The Lilywhites xGD of -19.5 has them sitting 21st. From set pieces, North End’s average possession of 44.6% is 19th - ahead of Birmingham City, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United. Back to shooting and PNE’s shots per 90 of 9.26 is 23rd, again ahead of the Millers. That is the exact same for shots on target per 90, with North End recording 2.98 - and shot creating actions per 90 .
