2 against QPR. 2. Stoke, 2, WBA, (dunno where you got 3 from) 2 yesterday.
We certaily owe the woodwork a dept of gratitude since JG came in.
Hitting the post doesn't even count as a shot on target
Most come because defences force attackers to shoot from further out
Nobody said they did count as shots on tatget (pedant)-it was fairly lightweight discussion over the fact that opposition have appeared to hit our woodwork quite a lot-nothing more than that,, just an observation.
You could reasonably argue that shots going just wide, or shots hitting the post
are because (almost always) because the opposition is forced to shoot from a
non-deal distance and/or position.
Give a shooting chance inside 6 yards, presumably a high percentage DON'T hit the post,
but, instead, go in or force a save.
Give same, say inside 18 yards, presumably the on-target percentage goes up, and,
in turn the number of goals goes up.
Shots don't mean much, shots ON TARGET mean more.
I doubt if Miazga and Moore keep a count of the times oppo's hit the woodwork
