Shots Into Goals. Dees Bottom of Table Last Season

Most of us knew this but Accies top!

I think this is pretty pointless data.

Hamilton probably topped this particular table because they didn't take many speculative shots from distance while Celtic and Dundee took lots.

Do you want to only ever take a shot when it's an open goal or are you willing to take 10 cracks from distance in the hope you'll get the odd deflection or screamer that flies into the top corner?

Given that Accies have lost 13 out of 17 league games in 2018, they are not one team I'd be looking at for inspiration.

Mostly irrelevant stuff here, as the guy says, you look at this stuff, then you’re eyes start to glaze over.

Is it not you tho that wants us to sign a striker with all our money? Makes a difference having someone who can shoot.

Two touch and World Cup shooty in is a the experience required to be a bona fide talent spotter. WTF does Neil McCann, wi decades in the gemme, ken?.

A better statistic might be expected goals to goals ratio, plus an expected goals per game. I’d imagine we’d be low on the first but high on the second. Having shots to goals doesn’t really add up when a sitter from three yards is given the same weighting as a 40 yard strike that is never likely to trouble the keeper!
