BBC, Football League Paper and SUFC website (who probably all get stats from PA) reporting six shots on target for Dem Blades yesterday.
Aside from the four goals, McGregor made at least four memorable saves and no doubt some routine ones too?

Was David Blunkett doing them?

Clarke's two headers. Sharp's blocked shot. So that's at least 7 straightaway.

Must be true if it's in the papers

 

[PeteBlade]

Is this including the goals? Seems very low to me!

 

[Bayingblade]

We counted 9

4 goals
2 Clarke headers saved - 1 each half
1 Clarke shot on the turn first half
Billy shot off line second half
O”Connell shot saved first half

At least, may be 1 more

Sharp also had an effort saved in the incident where Clarke on the follow-up had a penalty appeal, which would give ten shots on target overall.

Hull claim their keeper to be their man of the match, but according to the BBC he let 4 of 6 shots in? Hmmmmm

 

[Revolution]

The observer says we had 10 on target.

Probably because without him, it could have been 7-1

They headed one off the line in the first half too - cross/shot from Fleck I think.

That’s right, from the free-kick.

 

[Sithblade]

Do headed goals/attempts not get classed as shots?

 

[UnitedBlade]

Sky, who use Opta I think, use two categories On Target and Blocked. They add up to 10 and seems more accurate to me.

Was that going in or wide? We had the worst angle possible

And seven 'clear cut chances'.

Curling in for me - but my angle wasn't much better.

Looking at his pre game video JonnyRed(WCFC) had the perfect view to tell us.

Im trying to recall the effort..was that in amongst the flurry of 5 successive corners at the end of the half?

 

[nicksufc]

The 2nd half alone was 11 shots to 1 in our favour. Total and utter domination.

"Was that going in or wide? We had the worst angle possible"


I was on the top tier and thought it would have gone wide. I also think Jamal could have headed their goal away!

 

[Revolution]

I thought

I thought it was going in.

 

[8lade]

Unbelievably lazy by those outlets; just watching the highlights there were 7/8 efforts on target!

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Clarke also had the one he side footed straight at their keeper at 1-1.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Was David Blunkett doing them?

No he was just critiquing Leon's first 52 minutes. His reports on here somewhere.....

 

[anglian blade]

the Sky stats have 6 shots on target, but 4 saves by the keeper, so that must be at least 8 shots on target.

 

[Blade58]

The listed 6 shots on target were obviously just Leons efforts. They forgot to mention the rest of the team

That confused me as well but I think it’s because keepers can “save” shots that aren’t on target - they won’t always know whether it’s going in or not. The numbers don’t add up otherwise.
