MartockRed Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've read a few times over the last month on the bbc website match preview, that we have the best shooting accuracy in the division. I have no links, but I think it was before the Cardiff match where they stated that 62% of all shots were on target, thats quite impressive. Results from the Cardiff game. 12 on target, 6 off target (67%) Results from QPR game. 6 on target. 0 off target. (100%) Now I don't usually take too much notice of stats of this nature, but it is certainly one of the more important ones. Anyone have any theories? Is it down to our certain style of play, not just shooting from anywhere, or is it because we're spending most of the days training session pinging'em at Jammers & Gerks!

MartockRed Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 on the down side, you could say we'e not buying a ticket for the raffle ? A good point. Not sure where the BBC get there info from. Would be interesting to see if we're near the bottom for total attempts on goal. Would back up the case for that badly needed creative midfielder.

The Enormous Turnip Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Results from QPR game. 6 on target. 0 off target. (100%) on the down side, you could say we'e not buying a ticket for the raffle ? I was amazed by this stat, in the same game QPR also had 6 shots on target but a ridiculous 14 off! Buying a ticket for the raffle is one thing but QPR were horrendously wasteful against us. Having said that we won't score a goal per 3 shots every game... I guess what you can take from this is that we're creating the 'better' opportunities, but less freqeuntly. For example the Pitman chance just before half time at Loftus Road was probably the best move & chance of the match, whereas we reduced QPR to a lot of long rangers and hopeful balls into the box.

Maybe it's because we're not good enough to dominate for large periods of a match and with that, forced to base alot of attacking play on the counter. Better chances are usually created when the play is stretched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 We don't take enough pot shots from range, but we seem to by doing ok without them so not moaning atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 It helps when youve got pitman whos always creates opportunities for himself and will only have a go if necessary. Same with stead. His experience tells him that due to the type of player he is, chances dont cometoo often and he needs to make them count. Quality not quantity. Also no sproule means 3 less miss cued shots per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
