In the FA Trophy match contested between Royston Town FC and Coalville Town FC on 07 October 2023, a review of the statistical data demonstrates that superior shooting and efficiency were paramount for Coalville Town FC securing the 3-1 win despite playing away from home.

Royston Town FC managed to find the net once in the second half, taking only two assists to do so. However, their attempt to claim the match was thwarted by their inability to convert chances, as evidenced by their shots on target which amounted to only 4 from 9 total attempts, implying a rather lackluster attack. This inefficiency contrasts vividly with Coalville Town FC, who, out of their 11 total attempts, hit the target 7 times, thus making every shot count with a higher goal conversion rate.

In terms of defensive play, Coalville Town FC didn't fare much better than their rivals in making saves, managing only 3 compared to Royston Town’s 4. Nevertheless, they compensated for it by actively restricting Royston's offensive space with a higher count in corner kicks, 5 to 3. This inherently added pressure on the home side and reduced their scoring chances.

The discipline demonstrated by both teams was commendable, with zero red and yellow cards awarded throughout the game. This also meant that gameplay was hardly disrupted and each team maintained their tactical approach, which ultimately favored Coalville Town FC with their superior shooting accuracy.

While Royston had less offsides, indicating a more controlled forward line, their inability to capitalize on position and possession was their downfall. Coalville, however, did well to manage two more substitutions, allowing them to introduce fresh legs and possibly bringing in tactical changes that contributed to their victory.

In conclusion, it was Coalville Town FC's superior shooting accuracy and tactically effective use of substitutions that decided the outcome of this particular encounter. Royston Town FC's challenges in shot conversion and possession capitalization could be areas the team management needs to reflect upon in future matches.
