Ebbsfleet United (H) - Match Thread on 21:56 - Aug 6 by dingdangblue
I've been told this before. A shot on target only counts if the keeper saves it apparently. So Rodney's flick in the 1st half which was cleared by the defender wouldn't have counted as a shot on target even though it was on target. Hendo had a header on target which was blocked by a defender - same. I think our only shot saved on target was by Afuye just after ht.
I think that's right, otherwise a shot from outside the box which travels two yards before hitting a defender could technically be "on target"

Surely any goal would count as a shot "on target"?

This from Opta. A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
• Goes into the net regardless of intent – For Goals only. • Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.
Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target.

And presumably, OGs aren't counted as shots on target since they aren't shots by the team referred to in the stats. Therefore, a team could win a game without having a single shot on target

And could have hit the woodwork a dozen times and still not have had a shot on target. Ok - I get it now. Makes sense.
Some hope and positives but the shooting was abysmal.
Dale created way more chances but heavy first touches and blazing over the stands will not win many football matches.
3 freekicks from outside the area not one close to the frame of the goal. It must be technique their is no dip on the ball it just rockets further and further skywards. McNulty needs to get this sorted asap we need to be much better starting this Saturday.

It's a good job they don't have a category for way off target! There were at least three of those.
The 2nd half effort which hit the Sandy Lane tree actually had us all chuckling around me in the Main Stand. That was the point it definitely wasn't going to be our day!
