By any measure, it hasn't been the season that Norwich City's goalkeeping department, including Angus Gunn, would have wanted. Last season, the Scotland international ranked among the best stop-stoppers in the Championship. His contributions were key to David Wagner's side producing a run of form that culminated in a spot in the play-offs.
Gunn's form this season hasn't been where it was last term. It has been a season wrapped in inconsistency, injury and uncertainty. Statistics involving the overall performance of City's goalkeepers have gained real traction on social media as the campaign has developed.
One statistic to measure goalkeeping performance is post-shot expected goals minus goals allowed. In layman's terms, it is a metric that uses expected goals to measure how likely a goalkeeper is to save a shot. City rank at -9.
2 on that stat. Essentially, a minus figure suggests bad luck and/or below par shot-stopping. That metric suggests Norwich's goalkeepers have conceded nine times more than should have been the case.
That puts them at the bottom of the pile in the Championship, with Sheffield Wednesday next closest at -4.6. There is context that needs to be wrapped around those numbers - for example, some providers of those stats don't take into consideration goalkeeper positioning.
For all the spotlight being placed on Gunn's performances, the big jumps in underperformance actually came while he was injured. Gunn hasn't been perfect this season, but you don't become a .
