League One Week 14: Introducing more Football League fancystats

I made a discovery earlier this week - Footstats has also been doing the data for League One, League Two and the Conference.
So, now I've got the Championship stats going along nicely I'm going to expand and publish the tables for those three leagues as well every week.
Due to cup games and such there's a few teams with games in hand, but most of the league is now on 14 games played, so we'll pick it up from there.

Sadly I doubt I'll have time to write any summaries up for the three lower leagues, but I'll try to do periodic updates.

Anyway... to the data....

24 Scunthorpe 14 3 3 8 17 28 -11 12

Couple of brief notes:
There's some  horrible possession teams in League One. Crawley are the chief culprits, but Gillingham, Crewe and Notts County are not far behind.
Speaking of Notts County - look at that PDO. A 120 score 13 games in - that's going to regress at some point one would expect.
If and when it does.... ohhh boy - that is going to be spectacular.

Leaders Bristol City own the second highest PDO score, but have much better underlying shot data. Some of that may be down to score effects from leading frequently. I cannot see that really being the explanation for Notts County's performance though.

Preston North End, however, look very good value for their lofty perch, and Swindon Town could well be dangerous as the season continues - especially with two games in hand.
