No shots on target

[Bergen]

For the first time this season (in the league).

Tbf that's credit to Bradford's defenders as much as us being poor upfront. Can recall at least 3 goalbound shots they threw themselves in front of. A good day for CBs but one to forget for both sets of strikers.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

That’s not true, there were shots on target.

I don't remember their keeper making a save. Closest thing was holding a low hit diagonal cross but you'd be very hard pressed to count that as a shot on target.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

I didn’t say he did. There were several blocks tho.

I guess for the stattos it only counts if there's a goal or a save?

[Bergen]

That’s not true, there were shots on target.

Not according to the official stats. For the first time this season.

Regardless, it’s not true!

Couple of them are even on the highlights reel.

2 or 3 blocks that were on target. imo

Letter of the law says they don't count. Only goals, saves or goal line clearances by the last man...

I normally count an effort on target as something the goalkeeper has to stop - we had none of those today. Wilkinson unlucky with a couple of efforts wide and a couple of scrambles we couldn't finish plus skimmed the bar in first half, but no true attempts on target. Bradford definitely had a couple of real attempts and Sargent acquitted himself well - not sure Brill would have got to the second one later in the second half - and has to now stay first choice.

If you have the shirt and play well you should keep the shirt.

(9 shots on target in our last 0-0 game)

Shows how misleading relying on stats alone can be.

The saying goes something like

There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics

[Bergen]

Their goalkeeper didn`t make one save. Thats not a lie.

It also says 0% passes by both teams. Although that wasn't far from the truth.

[EliotNes]

Powder puff forwards lacking confidence. If they can get some goals maybe their confidence will return

[StockholmO]

Jeremy Corbyn could do a better job in goal than Brill FFS.

[bobo66]

I thought we played quite well and at least looked like we wanted to play. It is rather poor though that their goalkeeper didn't have to make a save. We really need to get our shooting boots on.

[Thor]

To be able to shoot you need to create chances and whilst we had a few on Sat there was nowhere near enough to win game of football. It would probably be ok if Ronaldo was up front as he probably takes the one chance presented to him, but our strikers need more service to finish off the chances created.

[Fellowo]

Just for info, there were 10 blocked efforts by Orient. So chances were created, just unfortunately the Bradford team made sure their keeper didn't have to get his gloves dirty.
