West Bromwich Albion FC / Telephone Call from the Club

« on: April 02, 2020, 09:32:28 PM »

Hello to all of the fans on here born before 1951.

This afternoon, I had a brilliant telephone conversation with a guy from the Albion Foundation checking that I was OK.

We spent about 10 minutes talking about times gone by & although I'm personally not a fan of nostalgia, it would be terrific for some of our fans who are over 70 & feeling really lonely at the moment.

Just wanted to say, that it made me really proud to be part of an Albion family that are so caring in what has been the most trying period in my lifetime.

Apologies to any fans who were born before 1941 who must have had even more trying early days.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Shots on Target

« on: January 24, 2016, 09:47:57 AM »

There are loads of comments on forums complaining about out lack of shots on target, but is "shots on target" a good performance indicator?

For example, Sessegnon's shot yesterday went just wide of the right hand post, perhaps 30cm left it would have gone in, but not recoreded as a "shot on target". On the other hand most of Villa's "shots on target" were comfortable for Ben Foster.

Surely, if you're analysing performance, you need to know if you're getting into shooting positions, & therefore "total shots" would be a more reliable performance indicator.
You could then use a ratio of "total shots" to "shots on target" to see how effective you are in front of goal.

I'm not sure that "shots on target" should be used as an argument to demonstrate that we're not getting into shooting positions
