I get a bit tired of people saying "they could have been x goals up if they'd taken their chances" all the time. We're in the a-league where we don't have world class finishers who are going to finish everything, so in every game there are going to be chances that are taken and chances that are squandered. The aim is to create enough chances to be able to convert some of them. So saying they created more chances than the other team is cool, but then assuming that means they should have been X-0 up, is a bit pointless imo.

P.S. not having a go at you AJ13, just the general school of thought.

If Ernie wore a pink and purple crushed velvet suit and a lime green top hat with a peacock feather in it then WSW would have been dazzled into submission and we would have won 12-0. The fact no journalist picked up on that shows how bad football reporting is in this country.
