Normally ie non football I am a 'stats man' all the way Football is more difficult - I was very critical of klich in his first two games then read a stat that he had created more chances than anyone else in the whole division in the first 2 games of the season Am I totally wrong then? Maybe or maybe in football stats don't show the whole picture. The number of shots and even shots on target in bald figures can suggest one thing but do not always show the truth - 2 speculative long range efforts that go straight to the keeper look better on paper than 2 shots inside the box which hit the woodwork (off target) yet the latter are better in reality Or compare the passing accuracy of Batty v McAllister back in the dayBatts always had a 85-95% completion rate as opposed to mecca's 65 to 75% but that fails to take into account the difficulty of the pass etc Having said all that there is only one real stat in football that counts - the final score and 3 0 away from home is good in anyone's book whatever the quality of the opposition Yesterday was almost perfect , 3 goals, clean sheet, new striker off the mark. All that was missing was a goal for Bamford at the end Dave
