    BBC stats say Bristol Rovers had just one shot on target.

    There's three in that short clip. Davies turns one over the bar, he saves another and in the same attack Lindsay blocks the follow up.

    BBC and Sky arent really known for getting the facts correct

    Our official website states that they only had one shot on target too

    Thing is, all those stats we keep getting about shots on target are from the BBC (I think), and they're wrong. I reckon there's just one bloke who does them all, for every match. He never goes to a game, just sits in an office somewhere filling in a spreadsheet.

    They were only given one shot cos they are an unfashionable club.

    The worrying thing is that a lot of people see something written down and believe it even when they have seen evidence to the contrary with their own eyes.

    As far as I know blocked shots don't count, for some bizarre reason.

    I suppose there’s a lot of debate to them. If a player has a shot from the edge of the box but an opposition player blocks it from a foot away then it’s hard to judge if it was going on target or not.

    Even with that in mind, the second of the three isn't a block, Davies saves it.

    Opta provide the official stats as well as for betting win/lose purposes.


    • A shot on target is defined as any goal attempt that:
    • Goes into the net regardless of intent.
    • Is a clear attempt to score that would have gone into the net but for being saved by the goalkeeper or is stopped by a player who is the last-man with the goalkeeper having no chance of preventing the goal (last line block).
    • Shots directly hitting the frame of the goal are not counted as shots on target, unless the ball goes in and is awarded as a goal.
    • Shots blocked by another player, who is not the last-man, are not counted as shots on target

    Assume from this that the one Davies tipped over the bar from Payne was not classed as a clear attempt to score...as in they deemed it a cross maybe?

    The first shot looks like a sliced cross, he looks up for attackers just before kicking it

    Its impossible to tell from that angle if the ball is going across the keeper or into the net.
    The computer algorithms say no or as you say it has been classified as a cross and would have to have gone in to have been a shot on target
