McKirdy's one on one being a prime example.
And their free header from a corner that went straight at Ward. Among others. Audrey's having a nightmare, statistically. |

I missed the McKirdy one and a header straight at the keeper isn’t a save surely. It’s a catch!
I was thinking the FGR type saves.

Some are a high degree of certainty saves, but we've had enough dodgy keepers in the past three years or so to never count your chickens. |

For those of us who regularly shout ‘Just hit the fucking thing’ as we appear to want to walk the ball into the net, here’s an interesting stat

Trouble is that the stats are skewed by the fact that we hit it from distance or lose it when trying to walk it in.

Football is becoming submerged into technical bollocks.
Load of old shite ........
Makes me laugh - Possession stats 65% v 35% and yet the team with 35% wins the game.
You finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd and you win promotion as simple as that.

The same with all this modern fitness data telling you how far players run etc. Look back at games in the 70's & 80's when teams played with wingers on muddy pitches and tell me they weren't fit!

That’s because they didn’t have to run. Nobody ran. Every player was within kicking distance.

The wingers did the running and the big lumps up front scored the goals😀
