Robbored Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I wouldn't mind betting that the majority of Millwall's shots came in the last 15 minutes. I can only remember the free kick that went just wide in the second half - I wonder if that counts as it didn't hit the target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt read much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them, any shot heading towards any part of the goal frame is on target whereas, for me, the real target is any part of the goal the keeper/defenders can't reach ... ... you could argue that the only truly on target shots are those that result in goals ... and it is when you then look at the ratio of total shots to goals (attacking and defending) that you get a pretty good idea of a team's strengths and weaknesses, especially over the course of a season.City vintage 2006/07 so far have been very efficient defensively (since McCombe got in the side) but much less impressive as an attacking force i) because of ineffectual loanees when Brooks & Show-me were out, and ii) because our midfielders don't find the net often enough. What I find most encouraging are recent post-match comments from GJ that suggest he is aware of the problem and will act accordingly if things don't improve.
