Cashy, of course I was. Maybe I didn't make my point clear enough. I always check the BBC website after each game to gauge possession, shots, crowd etc. From last night's game, my point is for only 3 of the 17 efforts to be on target isn't a good enough return for all the effort we've put in to create the chances in the first place. For all that attacking possession, we should be working the goalkeeper more and improving our end product.
By definition the toe efforts that hit the woodwork were not on target - Buxton was unlucky as a great strike and was right behind Bruna's, which whilst unlucky as struck it true and a couple of inches to the right and would have gone in off the post, he should have hit the target IMHO.
I completely agree that game stats aren't the be all and end all of everything, but they can give an indication - just wish they'd add whereabouts on pitch teams have possession.
