Does the data show that at all? It's kind of important if we're checking to see whether we are getting our fair share. @Ian M same question. To partially answer the question I detailed them for last season; So, just from memory, Scott was brought down in the box at home v Stoke & Forest. Coventry away (the game we actually got the penalty!), Martin was taken out by their keeper in the first few minutes. Dasilva was brought down at Fulham when the score was 2-2 in the 6-2 defeat. Semenyo had a good shout & HNM did too at Preston. I’m sure there are others that someone else can recall. This season Atkinson both at Hull & last night were stonewall, Conway looked to have a case at Wigan. I accept there have been spells latterly under Holden & Pearson’s time after in that same season when we were offensively weak, but not all of the last 4 years & certainly not since Semenyo got back in the side.

If you check out the link from higher up the page of 31 European leagues from 17/18 season until 10/01/2022 (the point the list was published) you can sort by minutes per penalty or "big chances" per penalty which I guess would satisfy the question of attacking intent? We are bottom of both. From 600 teams. And by a considerable margin at that. We have played a further 25 Championship matches without a penalty since that data was published. This is the bottom 10 sorted by big chances per penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season Atkinson both at Hull & last night were stonewall, Conway looked to have a case at Wigan. Right..but other teams will also have a number of claims denied. If we are going to use the fixed number of penalties awarded on a ratio basis to games played to prove that we are unjustly receiving no penalties, then it needs to be set in the context of potential claims. I'm sure every club could come up with a list of stonewall penalties they were denied. What's every club's ratio of claims to awards? 9 minutes ago, Super said: I'm guessing no as we struggled to have an effort on goal in some games. Exactly. For the entirety of the 2020/21 season we averaged fewer than 8 shots per game, and fewer than 3 shots on target. That was the season where we broke the record for having the fewest number of shots of any Championship team on record. That leads me to believe, although I cannot be certain, that we have not attacked at the rate of an average Championship team over the past 4 seasons. In fact at no point over the past four seasons have we averaged more than 11 shots per game. We've been shit at attacking, so you'd expect us to get relatively few penalties. 3 minutes ago, Ian M said: If you check out the link from higher up the page of 31 European leagues from 17/18 season until 10/01/2022 (the point the list was published) you can sort by minutes per penalty or "big chances" per penalty which I guess would satisfy the question of attacking intent?

This is the bottom 10 sorted by big chances per penalty. Ok. That is useful. No definition of what a "big chance" is but yeh that seems to suggest that even adjusted for attacking intent (as it were) we've been given few penalties. Which we know is true anyway. Interesting as well to note that the Championship generally has the lowest number of penalties awarded per game. 3 minutes ago, Ian M said: We need 33 more big chances than 591st place Birmingham to get a penalty. The same 33 big chance margin covers the top 572 teams in that list of 600 Small number bias? When dealing with tiny figures a difference of 1 will cause a huge change. For example if a team that creates 100 chances and gets 1 penalty then gets awarded just 1 extra penalty. Well they shoot up the table of "penalties per chance". They go from 1 per 100 chances to 1 per 50. That 1 penalty has a much smaller effect in a team that creates 100 chances and gets 4 penalties. For them an extra penalty takes them from 1 penalty for every 25 chances to 1 for every 20. A much smaller improvement in the "penalty per chance" table, but exactly the same improvement in the raw number of penalties awarded. Look, in general I know that we've had very few penalties awarded. That's indisputable. However, we have to be careful when using stats to prove something beyond bad luck.

Yeah I figured that when I worked out we need just 3 penalties to put us level with 2nd bottom on the list minutes wise. I imagine it would be similar chances wise.

Personally I think we should be given a credit for those two non-awarded penalties against Hull. Pearson can then at any time deploy the "penalty credit", in any game, and we immediately get a penalty. Alternatively we start the home fixture v Hull 2-0 up.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Law of averages, plus the undoubted improvement last season post Semenyo return should yield a better return than we have had. I agree that you're not going to et all of those that were turned down- but to get none of the turned down claims over 21 and a half months?? When we were in our handful of shots combined with less possession phase totally get it, but and I'm not fully sold on any we've had turned down this season fwiw but last season a good few were- then the other side of the coin how many against in that period.

luke_bristol Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 One thing that seems to have gone unnoticed - if the authorities are satisfied it wasn’t a penalty, shouldn’t their player be serving a three game ban for “successfully deceiving the referee”, or whatever the term is? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Why us though? There are smaller teams in the league who referees would feel less pressured to award penalties to, why are Bristol City the outlier that they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Off the top of my head, the only penalties I can remember us having in recent years are: - Martin v Coventry - Wells v Norwich - Diedhiou v QPR Other than that, I don't recall any others.

Wanderingred Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 It’s daft to think that there’s some kind of conspiracy against BCFC and NP and that referees are deliberately trying to not give us penalties. Why us? And why Pearson? There are far more controversial clubs/managers out there. It sounds like something Joey Barton or one of the blue few would come up with. “The refereeing association are all teds funded by pantsdown to stop the ascent of the mighty gas” or some nonsense. I agree that it’s simply down to us having very little attacking threat in the last few years. At the back end of 2020-21, we went several games without even mustering an attempt on goal. So naturally we weren’t going to get awarded any penalties. We’re slowly improving so hopefully they will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
