We only had one shot on target today according to the never knowingly right BBC. Were they at a different match or was I?

Post by: JBRover on January 27, 2018, 07:32:30 pm: We had plenty of shots, most were way off target and they did have a few good chances that required decent saves from our goalie so I reckon those stats are not far off.

Based on goal scoring positions/opportunities we should have won easily but our players being shot shy, trying to pass the ball into the goal, taking too many touches and trying to passing our way through a congested area was our downfall.

We had 3 on target in just one sequence in the first half.

They only count shots actually saved by the keeper as shots on target.

Totally agree but that is how it is done.

It's the Press Association (PA). They in turn sell them onto the various people.
I do agree on questioning the figures though.
