Aye, will be good to see some new faces for a change. Sadly, we've been far too hospitable at Palmy over the last few seasons... or at least our (lack of) defence has! Do make sure you don't do anything silly like firing crosses into our box, eh? .... There's a good chap.

Statistically do we really lose more goals from corners/crosses into our box than any other team, or is it just that we highlight it more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data will be there somewhere, I'm sure, but I don't have the inclination to find it! What is definitely true is that last season we shipped more goals than any other team in our league fullstop. Those lost from corners and crosses were only part of the problem. We certainly had lots of problems last season!!

Aye, I'm sure its more of the latter - ie just a feeling we've built up over recent seasons - @Flash might have some stats to back this up or otherwise. We probably weren't too bad at defending crosses this season (more avoidable screw-ups and needless stupid penalties), but in the past we have been woeful at defending them. Hopefully, this season Gibson builds a more solid back-line/keeper combination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we looked at this before. Without having stats for every other team, it is difficult to know. But I’m fairly sure we did a comparison of percentage of goals scored from crosses compared with goals conceded and there was a significant difference. Of course, that could be because we don’t score as high a percentage from crosses as other teams. But you’d think with everybody playing the same sort of football, the figures would be roughly the same. In any event, I think with the keepers we’ve had in the last few years, who have mostly regarded crosses as nothing to do with them, combined with having some dud CBs, a striker playing there for the first time in his life and a 37 year old winger being one of the better ones, you don’t really need the stats to know it has been a problem. @19QOS19 kept stats on it for a while but not sure if he gave up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Yeah I never really bothered with the stats last season. Both because I didn't think we were as bad as the previous two seasons and plus it made me depressed looking at the stats. I never really looked into other sides but I reckon we'd still have been winning (losing) when it came to goals conceded from crosses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer19 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 What classes as a 'busy morning' for Wullie Gibson though? Going to the gym, watering the astroturf, delegating some more jobs to Dan Armstrong? It wouldn't surprise me if he was having us on, and there weren't actually any signings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
