Leicester supporters seem to think we take a lot of long-rangers (which is why we score so many deflected goals) but is that actually true? I feel like we have a mixed bag in terms of shooting range, with no particular theme.

It does seem like we take a lot of pot shots from distance, but I think that is the plan. When you look at the stats, we are no different to anybody else really, but it does seem that way at times. I have no problem with it, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. You are more likely to get deflections, goalkeeper errors etc. Shoot on sight is ok with me. |  | | |

NP, I was drawn to Sam Morsey's average distance of 26.1 (3 gaols)
- but Connor Chaplin has 11 goals averaging around 19.3 yards, that is bloody insane from a player that I wasn't sure about at all for the first few months. |  |

It does seem to be a change in policy, I can remember both myself and this board being regularly concerned that we overplayed round the box and didn't shoot enough! ..... |  | | |

If there is a theme, or goal routine, that stands out above the rest then it's probably a Leif cutback to Chappers! | |

'You can't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket' for sure.
However, I love the way we play all around really, nothing used to pish me off more than under Lambert (and Cook to a degree) where we would run deep on the flank and then have to pass back.
In L1 I commented that a lot of goals for other teams (not just against us) you saw on the highlight show were often on the edge of the box and central. KM has a very solid AMC setup in place which helps our wingers get into space rather than dead ends, so the whole system seems improved by having someone who can be brave on the edge of the box, or switch to the wing if there is a gap.

I remember around me they use to scream, 'we ain't Arsenal, just bl00dy shoot'. | | | |

Chaplin's average may be skewed by several attempts to lob the keeper from around the halfway line. His more 'normal' (or median average) shooting distance is shorter than 19 yards I would imagine. But, does it really matter? A goal is a goal. Good to keep the opposition guessing by having a number of different strategies. |  | | |
