QuoteAt the risk of doing said thing, how about another stat, since you pin so much importance on them.West Ham Shots on Goal in the past 2 games - 6Are West Ham one of those \"Top teams\" you keep going on about? They are second aren't they? Oh dear madmick.....hahahahahaha,this is great. Keep going.Sorry Benaldo, you've just shot yourself in the foot big time (again)! In the last 2 games West Ham have had 10 attempts on target and 15 off target making a total of 25 attempts on goal and not 6 as you say.hahahahahahahahaha

ery wrong Madmick. Check the stats again. 4 on target in last match ( Coventry ), 2 on target V Hull. 4+2=6 . Thats Benny correct i am afraid.and it was 8 off target not 15.
Bring back Weaver and bring Richardson in as assistant.
Seriously this debate is becoming very very boring and is being fuelled by individuals, such as you mick, who have about as much insite into management as mr muscle has into weight training. Before blurting out the first thing that comes into your mind, which appears to be a reactionists point of view, stop, think and ask your self;A) how long into a management role would it be appropriate for people to start blaming you for everything. Particularly when you have been given the failing personnel of the previous manager and the systems they employed?B) what would change achieve?C) who do you think rovers could realistically bring in that is going to better our position. Specifically given the business plan the board are currently employing. Ie it's likely to be from mckay's stable.D) how can you judge Saunders when he hasn't had the opportunity to put the clubs plan in place. Ie no euro loans available due to transfer rules. Has it not occurred to you that players are being brought in until January to get us by until then. All of them to my knowledge have been brought in with the ability to extend their contracts if needed.Please think things through properly before boring us all with this crap again. That goes for the rest of you lot to. I was pro sod, times move on and now I'm backing Saunders and the business plan until its proved over time that it doesn't work, then I'll review my decision. Maybe this time next year, championship or otherwise, we can form a proper informed opinion.
Croft and Mick please geta grip. How on earth u can say it was down to sod we beat Peterborough and palace god only knows. The fact we hadn't won in 19 games under sod before that with the same players should say it all. Attempts on target is irrelevant, we had chances against Ipswich to score more than the 3 and good chances at that. When was the last time we scored 3 away from home? Or even at home? And crofty u said Saunders has now brought all his own players in, can u tell me how many of his own players played on sat? I make it all of 3, and 2 of them were our best 2 players.
Lets start again shall we...if your position had applied to sod then we may not have won the jpt trophy, got promoted or stayed in the championship ship as you will recall, if you have been supporting the club that long, sods teams were awful for a long time afte he took over. Can you also give me answers to my questions I ask above. It's not personal mick, I assure you, but these types of posts are I'll informed and counter productive.
Jesus christ lcroft. So when the players play badly it's down to Saunders and when they play well it's down to them remembering SOD??!! Well thought out.

I predict a comfortable victory for Watford. Too many new players mixed with a demotivated existing squad is not a recipe for success.
QuoteAttempts on target means naff all I'm afraid.I disagree. I think it's an excellent indicator of how well a team is performing.

So by that you are saying Saunders needs more time surely?
QuoteWe can all pick and choose the odd statistic that can try to make the point we're trying to put across. I've attempted to show a trend that is very worrying.I suggest you study statistics instead of coming out with a ridiculous statement like that. No statistician on Earth will claim a 'trend' on a sample of TWO.

QuoteSo by that you are saying Saunders needs more time surely?More time might help the situation but he doesn't have that luxury. It takes time for players to gel. You can't just expect a group of new players that aren't match fit(some of them)to instantly gel and know what they're doing. By the time they become familiar with each other some of them will have moved on and the whole process starts again. Mix in a demotivated bunch of original squad members and you don't have the stability and continuity needed to win football matches.
An even more excellent indicator of how well a team is performing is number of goals scored, but for some inexplicable reason you chose not to mention THAT statistic. Why is that? Being deliberately selective in your data...surely not?!
QuoteAn even more excellent indicator of how well a team is performing is number of goals scored, but for some inexplicable reason you chose not to mention THAT statistic. Why is that? Being deliberately selective in your data...surely not?!If you insist, I will mention goals scored. So far this season we have scored 13 goals. This is an average of 0.76 per game, the worst in the Championship (probably the worst in the whole league). We also have the worst goal difference, conceding an average of 1.76 per game. We also have the fewest shots on goal in the Championship.Whichever way you look at it things are not improving and if anything are getting worse.
