They were both deflected crosses as far as I remember? And opta only counts shots that go in or are saved by a keeper as a shot on target - dumb but still Link to post Share on other sites

(See Windass goal in 0-3 victory against "Invincible" Arsenal 2001) I think the official line is if the original attempt is heading in then it counts as on target. If it’s heading off target and deflected in then it’s not a shot on target. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think Morsys half volley was probs on target too but that was blocked by a defender so 🤷🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think we have any idea who the next manager will be yet? Do you even think we'll have a shortlist of potential candidates? I don't. Unless it's gonna be another Woodgate style signing. Maybe we decided against signing Bolasie because we want to bring Downing back and want Warnock to mould him into a quality manager the way Pulis did with Woodgate. 😬 Link to post Share on other sites

Wait, you actually think Woodgate is next in line? Or are you joking? I genuinely don't know. I don't think even Gibson is stupid enough to give Woodgate the job back but I wouldn't be altogether shocked if he sunk to a new low. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 not only that but Pulis is still not back in the saddle....can just see him as DoF. saying to Woody " I've got you the five central midfielders and the four 6 foot 8 defenders and Nuhiu is coming as target man, now get in there and show them what football is really about" Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people said woodgate needed some one experience behind him... Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it'll be Woodgate next, we'll get a press conference telling us all about how Woodgate has spent his time off learning the path to enlightenment from buddhist monks in Nepal. This board will be awash with excitement about the new balding Woody, his new calm and thoughtful persona will convince everyone that he's a changed man and comparisons will be made with Wenger in the Gazette. Unfortunately Woodgate will be sacked after 30 games with us not winning a game and George Saville strangely playing a number of games in goal. Sam Allardyce will come in for the last 10 games and keep us up on goal difference. They'll be talk the following season about Woodgate coming back for a 3rd spell with Allardyce as director of football. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
