Yes and no tbf.

When you watch the warm up shooting they're missing a bit because they're going for the corners. But in a match you have to work the keeper. If you don't you don't know what you can get. Rebounds, off the woodwork, through his legs, deflections, ricochets.

I don't know about you but I am very concerned we've scored 1 league goal in 9 games that wasn't an own goal. A politician couldn't spin their way out of that. The last time that was tried we heard on hol radio, 'why can't all fans be like the HF?' Because we know what we're seeing. Does Steve?

I agree, I just don't like the stat and think it is very misleading. We had a number of shots blocked that looked on target, how are they counted ? End of the day we lost and haven't scored enough goals this year. The worry from this game is that we weren't able to get players in the box very often. I wonder, when was the last time we scored from outside the box? We're still very reluctant to have a pop at goal.

We ARE improving, no doubt about it. But for the second game get undone by a corner. And our freekicks & corners - why can't anyone hit the ball with some power? Not the "snow-on-the-ball" ones that is easy-picking for the opposition? Like for instance the Newcastle winner....

If you don't get shots on target then you don't score goals - it is a bloody important stat if you ask me!!

I went to the game...We were unlucky...Whilst we are of course missing a target man, we were the better team.

We were organised across the park and NUFC never looked like scoring.

Annoying to concede again with a set piece but there was an element of luck and Speroni was partially obstructed (his kicking is poor)

I felt encouraged by the performance and hard done by the result.
Wilf looked a little tired yesterday but I thought the rest of the team put a good shift in.

If we show that fighting spirit we will pick up points. Speaking to couple of Geordies on the way home, they thought we at least deserved a point if not the victory..It was a game of few chances

Enough said re the striker crisis...Roy will have to set the team up accordingly..Our defence is looking a lot sounder and that is exactly how Big Sam started the last survival programme

Keep the belief..

the nightmare statistic reared its ugly head again today. Source : Sky tv.

we may have picked up a point against a very good Everton team. Our defenders and 'keeper did well. But did the whole team deserve the point ?

Everton were way better than us today - also according to the sky commentator.
