faraway saint Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 It's not just us that seem to be struggling to score goals. 8 of the Premiership teams are averaging a goal a game, or less. Not sure if this is normal but seems pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the real worry, plenty teams, with more resources and more to offer than us, are struggling, leaves us little chance attracting anyone of decent quality.

Callum Gilhooley Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 This is a fairly decent stat site which seems to show that the goals scored has indeed dropped but the shots on target remains broadly the same (as last season) Does this mean better goalies or worse strikers ?http://www.footcharts.co.uk/index.cfm?task=basics_goals&league=SC0&venue=T&season=01/10/2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) IMO. Defenders are better, defences are better organised, defending starts further up the pitch and professional fouls are used more often to stop forward runs, especially in the area just over half way against the attacking side. Hibs, Hamilton and Livvy are good at this. Aberdeen, in their Ferguson heydays, were the experts in this. Highlights don't catch the run of play throughout a match.

All successful teams have a strategy for"winning ugly " whether we like it or not. It's up to the officials to act to penalise the offenders. Aberdeen under Fergie were the most obvious . Motherwell too in the infamous cup game at Motherwell took it in turns to kick our star players off the park. But also.. Credit to managers and players OFallon sides for being better organised, fitter and faster in defensive positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
