| Shots on target v Goals conceded (Again) 15:55 - Apr 10 with 1351 views | Jules4367 | Ok 45 minutes gone and we have 1 shot 'on target' versus 2 goals conceded. I can see a pattern (not least my repeating the same old stuff!) but as per past posts (ad nauseum to the group) - they are great during the warm up but then cannot hit the target in the game. Let's see what the second 45 minutes will bring. My thoughts are that we will have a total of 3 shots on target at the end of the game . If they go in...great but I suspect not! |  | | |  |

Not sure if this was an Easter message for someone else, or a comment. But if for me, and not some other deity, then yes...you are correct, I do - but I also know it and hence the '(again)'. Writing this slowly, in case you cannot read fast. My saying something in frustration, annoyance or disgust ten times doesn't mean it is incorrect and, as a previous post, I am hoping (with blind faith) that someone involved with the strikers' shooting practice reads it! We cannot win if we cannot hit the target or do you think differently: With all the other stuff people write on here, and say / express themselves with what they are frustrated by, my venting specifically on the lack of shots on target - is as accurate and valid a statement about the R's this season as anything else! A good point today but only 2 shots on target and one was a pure fluke! [Post edited 11 Apr 2023 1:44]

| Shots on target v Goals conceded (Again) on 07:32 - Apr 11 with 986 views | ozranger | I think it is important to read the stats properly. You appear to solely just read the data that sits under the title "shots on target" as opposed to shots and shots blocked. There were, if you read the stats properly, four shots blocked. Can you tell me how many of those shots were on target when they were blocked? On that, since you appear so keen to continuously attack the attack, were you at the game or sitting back on your sofa watching a stream, whether legal or illegal? Did you see the final three chances we had, each no more than a foot just outside the post? Because they were not on target, they appear assumed by you, and others, to just be flying well away from goal as opposed to just wide. There is a difference that all those at the ground felt. It is not the shots on target that are important and we all know one can read statistics any way we like, it is where the shots are heading. So, we could have actually had six shots on target, but you do not know that and I rather doubt anyone here knows that as well as we are not part of the statistical community that creates these figures. For all we know there may be a standard that any shot on target that gets blocked is a "shot blocked" while any shot off target that gets blocked is just a "shot" and, as these choices are made at that exact moment it happens, there is always a chance that one may be incorrect, either way. Thus, to just come out and state that we had two shots on target because you saw this stat without actually knowing what the stat really is, is well, nonsensical. |  | |  |

Ok- Point well made and I wont mention it again ! But I DO go to all the home games, I (and those around me in the 'Loft' (as was) AND UP IN THE CORNER OF THE SB stand ) keep shouting 'Shoot!' when our players get to the penalty area. So as much as you and 'others' berate me for going on about it, there IS a problem - but in the overall scheme of things, it's not going to change so I will leave this subject to go !
