barmyowl1212 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 We always looked like they were going to score sadly it had to be a DJ own goal. It was so soft too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we conceded late goals more than the majority of teams. Be interesting to see goals conceded after 80th minute and points dropped compared to the rest of the football league during that time. https://www.soccerstats.com/timing.asp?league=england2 In the championship alone this season there are 5 teams who have conceded more than us after the 76th minute and another 4 on the same amount so granted, were not the best in this area but by no means the worst. If you look at the 2 seasons previous to this one we've been worse off than we are now (in the bottom 30% ) but the 2 seasons before that we were in the top 20% so really, id say we were about average in this particular area over the last 5 years. As with most things, we always think we have it worse than everyone else but in reality, we are, as ever, about average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpaowl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's a game of football not chess and everything is easier with hindsight. Leeds and Norwich have come back from the dead in injury time recently so we are not the only championship side who don't know how to run down time when leading late into a game.

Socialist_Owl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 That late Bannan breakaway that devolved to a weird slowdown, then a skied out from 30 yards. The fizz? Play to the wing to a waiting Boyd if you couldn't hit the angle on the defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Should have done the double over WBA. A team fancied for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t just think we have it worse. We’ve been poo for so long I expect us to be right down there for these kind of stats. Last few years not so much as we’ve improved most seasons.

I got to five years then got bored. TBF it's not even been all bad over the last 20 years, granted we've had a couple of relegations but we've also had promotion through the playoffs, an auto promotion a champ play off final and another play off appearance in that time, I don't have the stats but I'd guess that's more success than half the clubs in the football league.

Giving the ball away easily simply invited them on and the inevitable happened. Good point but the circumstances meant it felt like a loss. West Brom - our official bogey team this season. Should have done the double on them. 100%, back off and let them come at us, why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We left it so late to sack Jos that we need to be pretty much picking up maximum points every time we are in a winning position between now and end of season. Get your point about being happy with 7 from 9 with those fixtures but we needed 9 just to keep in touch! Not seen the stats but dread to see ours about leads squandered this season....

I see your point. However I don’t see it as success because our success is from league one to championship. If it was championship to prem I would be much more inclined to agree with you old chap.

I can't really come up with anything to prove or disprove what you deem to be success as the criteria seem to be changing each time so probably best to leave it there.

casbahowl Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Only complaints from a thoroughly enjoyable performance and day out yesterday was the decision not to replace Dave with Fletch when we had the numerical advantage thus inviting them on and bringing ALL our eleven players back to defend that last corner ....... leave at least one on the halfway line! On the plus side...... we look a proper team again and cocktails were 2 4 1 in Revolucion de Cuba after the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and the idea that Dawson should have anticipated Jones slicing the ball into his own goal is laughable. The thing people should be focusing on is that we are starting to look like we can get a result whoever we are playing and even under Jos look what happened in the last ten games last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
