Radon is infamous around these parts
Default Joe Bloggs must score...

Having just heard my brother bemoaning the fact that the opposition 'keeper just made a quadruple save, he got me thinking... the amount of times that a striker must score and doesn't is ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I know that a striker shouldn't ALWAYS score when that's said, but to say that he misses the vast majority of times that particular phrase comes up surprises me, even with strikers of the quality of Emile Heskey........................

OK, bad example, make that Michael Owen or Fernando Torres.

Anyone else niggled by this? Please, SI, change the phrase or make it more likely that quality strikers score in such a situation!

Uncanny. I'm with Shrewsbury in League 2. Seven games in, thirteen conceded, sixteen scored. Of those thirteen, twelve have been contested as 'they clearly feel the goal was offside'. Also six hit a defender on the way in and four were in the last minute. Just bad luck or is there something more sinister at play here?

It's so true

AI or human team, every time you get 'he must score', it tends to be followed up by 'it's a throw-in'!

I recall reading that the Beta patch 2 (or full patch, not sure) atends to the problem of "bread and butter chances" being missed too frequently.
