Title: How frustating when we don't shoot.
Post by: The Swan on April 30, 2017, 09:01:25 PM
 How many times have our players got into good positions where they can shoot at goal but decide to pass to a team mate.

Tom Cairney has scored a number of great goals from distance but sometimes he declines and passes to a team mate.

Please shoot from anywhere near the penalty area.

On the matchday field, professional players depend a lot on instinct.

If the don't shoot it usually means the condition and their body placement may not be right for it.

If there is a lack of shooting, then it boils down to having more shooting practice.

A bloke I was in the Army with, who was also designated firing squad duties during conflicts when we were in a combat unit, use to complain that he never had enough shooting practice in case of any eventuality of this occurring.

If we do come through and get into the Prem we will need to be a lot better at taking those shooting chances from outside the box. Watching MOTD I really noticed how much more ready Premiership players were willing to have a hard shot from well out and we would face a lot more like that in that division

Did anyone keep a tally of how many shots were blocked on Saturday?
