Hit or Miss?

Joel Beighton casts a sideways glance at what's hitting and missing in the world of Sheffield United.

Editor’s note: the last time we published this feature, the Blades drew 3-3 with Blackpool. In that match United created a high volume of high-quality chances but conspired to draw. On Wednesday, against Middlesborough, United provably had the higher volume of higher-quality chances one again (xG of 2.52 vs 1.25). So, Causation meet Correlation: it’s time to blame Hit or Miss?, which always follows games where we fail to hit the target and miss the onion bag. Or is that the other way around?
