Goals From Open Play

[S5Blade]

Interestingly, we have scored more goals from open play (by our own players) than any other team in this division, quite an interesting little stat!

 

[Ricky]

That's very excellent.

It's especially interesting given the number of games we've dominated possession in the attacking third and not managed to turn our superiority into goals. As Wilder has said, we've just been lacking that extra bit of "cleverness" at times. If we end up finding it this transfer window, we could be flying.

 

[S5Blade]

Imagine if we could make use of all the corners we get....

 

[CarlingBlade]

I don't recall us scoring/having a penalty this season.

 

[Steel City Blade]

I don't recall us scoring/having a penalty this season.

Burton Albion away, Sharp scored it

"Counter attack" is a bit vague. I thought Fulham got 2 against us.

I wonder where we are if they did a conversion rate of corners to goals?

Glass half-full: "We're top of the 'scoring goals from open play' league!"

Glass half-empty: "We're third from bottom of the 'scoring goals from set-pieces' league."

 

[Boxer Blade]

That has to be wrong, how do we compare to barca and Madrid, now we are apparently on a par

 

[Gimli]

Are they counting 'counter attack' as goals that are not scored from open play? It seems strange to make a separate category for counter attack goals - the whole point of which is to break quickly with the ball in open play

Do we need to be cuter at winning penalties? The ones given against us have been pathetic.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

It’s been a disappointing display from our usually consistent performer ‘OG’ this season.

I know we should give them all time, but I feel it’s iime to move him on.

 

[CarlingBlade]

Burton Albion away, Sharp scored it

Cheers pal, that was driving me mad.

Agreed, our players need to learn to 'play the game' a bit more, Wilder might not like it but other teams do it and we need to start doing it.

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

A counter attacking goal is from open play. Who made this crap up?

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

In case anyone gets the wrong idea my criticism is for whomever put this table together and not the poster

 

[sufcboy95]

We’d be unstoppable if we were any good at corners

 

[Lil red rooster]

derby's had 6 penalty's to our 1, thats a big difference considering we probably attack more than them.
