Thankfully with the point deduction being reduced it looks like relegation shouldn't happen this season. I wouldn't have been too impressed in the money I paid for this season going towards a 3rd division season ticket for the same price. I don't see how they would be able to reduce prices as they would need to honour the lowest price guarantee of the 5-year/10 year season ticket holders.

Hirsty makes great points usually but I don't think trying to convince me we're whipping in a plethora of gilt edged chances from the wings is one I can accept What Hirsty is saying, and I'm agreeing with him, is that in general our crossing is rubbish (you're right) but every game there will be at least one or two decent crosses that accomplished strikers should be able to do something with. Here are some stats that might help Per game: Crosses Accurate 4.6 (9th highest in the league) Inaccurate 16.2 (4th highest) Corners Accurate 1.5 (19th highest) Inaccurate 2.4 (17th highest) Free kicks Accurate 6.6 (19th highest) Inaccurate 5 (4th highest) So, at least 4.6 crosses per game reach an Owls player. If all the corners and free kicks are launched into the box (not sure how they are counted) this figure could be as high as 12.7 per game (balls into the box that do reach an Owls player). So, yes, there are only 3 teams in the league that hit more unsuccessful crosses or free kicks than we do (hence the evidence of your eyes) but to say that ALL our crosses hit the first defender is obviously nonsense. Decent strikers should be able to make something of 5-13 successful crosses per game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted. *2 successful crosses out of 3 doesn't = 75% success either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
