Why Do We Keep Hitting The Bar?

I don’t know how many times we’re  up to this season for hitting the woodwork, must be nearly 20 times? which sounds really high, (maybe that is about normal)

I just wondered if it was because of lockdown the players haven’t been able to have eye tests?

    Suggestion is 16, I am certain it was 20 with Aneke's last.

    I think you're asking the wrong question , the question is why can't we hit the target

     'Cos the bloody woodwork keeps getting in the sodding way.

    = 20 shots off target.  Doesn’t matter really if you hit the post, bar or row Z

    Surely time to move the woodwork...

    Agree, but post is as agonisingly close as you can get and can result in a goal by being a few millimeters towards the inside edge of a post.

    Because we have set the bar too low?

    It’s the only way I can cope with supporting Charlton.

    Because we're ever so slightly just the teeny tiniest bit completely shit?

    Not a meaningful stat by itself though

    Hit the bar with a 25 yard volley, that's unlucky. Hit the bar from 3 yards (like Chuks did recently) that's just lousy finishing.

    Maybe we need to kick it lower?

    Why haven’t they been able to have eye tests ?

    Always hitting the post/bar.

    Most red and yellow cards in division.

    Never get the penalties we deserve.

    Everybody scores belters against us.

    ....all signs of a mistake and excuse filled season.

    Are opticians open?

    Perhaps I need to get my eyes tested!

    If all the shots that hit the bar had been an inch or two higher, this thread wouldn't have existed. We're lucky that our strikers are reasonably accurate.

    Bring in a new law for 0.5 of a goal for hitting the woodwork

    This lockdown has been too long, no wonder. I would hit the bar as often as possible if i could...

    Adkins needs to say, 'Chucks, whatever you do, try and hit the bar every time you have a shot.' Hey presto, every shot flies into the back of the net.

    Presumably, Chuks aims to get shots under the bar but has a margin of error that means it goes a bit higher and hits the bar. If Adkins advises Chuks to hit the bar, it would, by that logic, go over the bar. This would spare us much angst, but, surely, Adkins needs to tell Chuks to aim a couple feet under the bar so that with his (known) margin of error, it creeps in under the bar.

    I believe it is an ancient incantation or hex placed upon every player for Charlton by a wizard called Pardew who, pissed off by a failed brief relationship with a lollipop lady in Floyd Road, deemed that in the very rare event of one of our forwards shooting on sight, the frame of the goal would shrink or enlarge to ensure no goal was scored!

    Or i may of dreamt that...

    There is nothing wrong with hitting the bar.
    A shame the boozers are closed at present, that is all.

    It would be a decent idea as a decider for drawn matches after extra time.

    And the parasite grasping pocket liners at the FA can monetise it as well by insisting that technology is involved and getting some firm to pay for the privilege of providing the mechanics for yet more pointless self-defeating interruptions to the game - cos y'know V.A.R.'s been a raving success, innit?
    When the even worse crooks at FIFA get wind this will be in by summer '22 at the latest
