........striking problems, then look at MK Dons who had 56 attempts on goal this evening of which 37 were on target and they failed to score in their FA Cup tie against Cambridge City. :shock:

Hate to ruin your fun Trek, but I'm not entirely sure they're correct. I was watching the game and it flashed up something like 30 shots 11 on target very near the end. Don't be fooled though, it was a terrible game and i'd say 20 of those shots were from 25 yards+.

Edit: Just seen on BBC that it was 37 shots and 19 on target.

I know I should be careful but I'm quoting the BBC match figures which also said they had 69% possession.

My bad. It was 37 total attempts, still poor for League 1 side against a SLP side.

That is still dreadful, don't think I've ever seen stats as bad as that outside of football manager!
