Prso's headband 35,951 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 No-one cares about stats we care about points. Only a third of our shots have been on target, only a third of those are converted into goals. Problem 1 Again, nearly half of our goals conceded comparing it to shots on our goal. The fact is 3 of they goals should never have happened. Problem 2. They stats only show were good at keeping the ball. Which feeds into problem 3, we keep the ball and do fuck all wae it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If these are accurate, they are clear signs we aren't far off where we want to be. Yes, the most important stat is the amount of points you have in May hence the absurdity of the panic merchants at the end of August. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have dropped point in half our games this season ffs. if you expect Rangers fans to be happy with that then you don't know Rangers fans.

Writing off our chances of winning the league, or at least finishing second, at the end of August, after four games, with 8 points from 12 is panic merchant territory.

Exactly, yet people are banging on about our bad defence. Who all in all have only leaked 4 goals this season. The offence needs to get in gear and start getting goals if the defence is so bad. If we can see it then they can too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If they are basing an opinion that we will be 3rd or lower in May after only four games, unbeaten, then it is ludicrous and they are panic merchants.

Take your point to an extent however I honestly believe if we stop having to get back into games and allowing teams to have something to hold onto you might see us perform better - certainly we will have the opportunity to play in the space left. Your shot to goal ratio stat is a fair point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 66 shots and only 20 on target is bloody poor to be honest. 10 on target for the opposition and 4 going in isn't great either Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your shot to goal ratio stat is a fair point. Getting an early goal is vital for us, I've said that for a while now. Teams are hellbent on sitting in when facing us, get us at a set piece or that. and them getting a goal before us just makes it easier for them to time waste, frustrate the team and more importantly the fans.

Your refusal to accept that doesn't change it. You are just another guy on here that firstly adopts a defensive opinion every time there is any criticism of the team/players. just as bad as the constant negative cunts on here. what can they base there opinion on but the games that's been played so far? on current form we aren't getting the results to mount a serious challenge.this could and I'm pretty positive will change but until then any criticism is just.
