Scapegoat Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 In the Bury game thread BP1960 wondered if Richie has initiated a “shoot on sight” policy with the team. As I am on a long train journey home from New Haven I did a bit of data crunching: 10 games under John Sheridan (League and League Cup - BBC doesn’t have stats on the Checkatrade) saw us average 9.3 shots per game, of which we got 3.2 on target. 6 league games under Richie Wellens has seen us increase that to 14.66 (57% increase) and 6.33 (97% increase). Clearly something has changed and that may well be a “stop faffing about and get your shots off when you can” instruction. Explains why we are the entertainers of the Division with 55 goals in our 15 league games. In fact total goals per game, we are second only to Manchester City in the entire football pyramid* Its bloody good fun. * off to stick a tenner on 0-0 on Saturday now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You could argue that we are creating more shooting opportunities than previous teams have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies also had several good long range attempts on goal and Byrne likes a pot shot. Queensy looks as though he's been told to beat a man and have a crack at goal. Ironically, the one who should be shooting more is Gardner, who can score piledrivers yet is now preferring to pass the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-latic Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It's brilliant, I honestly don't mind us shipping goals as long as we're scoring... It's a million times better than the boring 0-0s we had 10 of last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I've thought Gardner could have got a few more shots off, hope that's to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal would be a massive confidence boost - and a very worthy reward for all his hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Or our own goal at MK. If he started shooting and scoring, we would make a fortune in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
