    Now do free kicks within 40 yards of goal. Then make me a sandwich.

    I agree our throw -ins have improved slightly from last season, but we miss the opportunity to take a quick throw-in to catch the opposition off guard, because it seems the full backs have to take the throw-ins no matter what.

    **** 40 yards. Way too specific. I'll give you FKs total and you'll like it.

    I would say 18 is being effective, more than any other team.

    I don't care.
    I am happy with 18.
    Hopefully it will be 19 or 20 on Saturday.

    Yes, I agree. Although we have improved in that we are not giving the ball away so much from throws, they are almost always the same and predictable eg Coyle throws to Honeyman or Burke who returns the ball to Coyle. There are plenty of times that we could gain advantages by taking the throws quicker.

    Well done Quill.
    Could you please tell Peter how many were in our own half and opposition's half.
    Then divide the 18 goals by the free kicks in the opposition's half number.
    Not sure if some of the 18 were scored in the cup games so recalculate if lower than 18.
    Percentage to 2 decimal places please.
    Much obliged.

    Or, like me you couldn't give a monkeys chuff, leave it for Peter to worry about.

    We've scored more than 18 set pieces, 18 is just the league total. 21 overall.

    Scored a corner against Fleetwood in the FA Cup and two more against Fleetwood in the Pizza Cup.

    Here’s a cracking stat....


    Why Hull City rank above Manchester United and Leicester City this season
    The Tigers are the nation's most prolific goalscorers on their travels - in fact, they're out in front on their own by some distance
    Hull City are on the verge of claiming a new club record which has stood proudly since the 1960s.
    The Tigers’ 3-1 win at title rivals Peterborough United on Tuesday night saw Grant McCann’s men notch up 40 goals away from home in their 18 games so far, 10 of which have been won.
    Back in season 1965/66, the Tigers plundered 45 goals away from Boothferry Park as Cliff Britton’s men won the Division Three championship with 109 goals in total, largely down to the sensational form of club legends Chris Chilton and Ken Wagstaff.
    This time around, the Tigers have five more away trips to come to surpass the 45 of the swinging sixties, starting with a visit to Shrewsbury Town next weekend.
    Not only that, City’s 40 goals on the road this term is more than any other team English football’s 92 league clubs, and across Europe’s top leagues.
    City’s closest challengers – Leicester City, Oldham Athletic and Sunderland - are 12 goals behind, while Manchester United, Brentford, Oxford United and Cambridge are one further back on 27.
    According to our friends @playmakerstats, that’s an impressive 68 percent of City’s 59 goals have come away from the KCOM Stadium.
    The contrast between the two is quite stark, in fact.
    McCann’s men have won 10 at home and 10 on the road, but when it comes to goals there’s a huge disparity - 19 compared with 40 which inevitably means there’s been no shortage of entertainment with 4-0 and 5-0 wins at Portsmouth and Wigan, while numerous 3-0s and 3-1s have seen that tally rise.
    It’s quite an astonishing stat and one which City will hope can see them over the line and secure promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.

    Brilliant cheers Quill.
    18 goals in the league is as near as dammit one goal every 2 games.
    What's not to like.
    Out of the 393 free kicks, I would estimate more are in our own half but if we said 180 were in opposition's half then that's a conversion rate of 10%.
    All sorted, is that okay Peter.

    Remember that the 18 set-piece goals include corners too.

    If we had a striker with a goal every other game we would be walking the league. Oh hang on, we've got Wilks. If we had another striker with a goal every game we would be on the beach. To be fair, Magennis is having his most prolific season ever.

    I'd like to know how many times our forwards ( front three) scratch their bollocks over 90 mins compared to the back four over the same period. How does this rate alongside other teams in our league and has it got better or worse under Grant ?
    I'm sure Bruce had this under control in his teams, they could spit further too, so any stats on that, distances, frequency and volume ? Pretty sure McCann's teams are lacking in this particular field compared to other managers.
