If the games were 85 minutes long...

[Doore]

I think the stats clearly show we have a problem...of interest is what's to be done about it?

Wake up Reg, we've covered that - we're going to play 85 minute games.

Exeter was paint pot.

We definitely conceded a late equaliser in the league game because I saw it happen. And I wasn't at the Paint Pot match.

For what it's worth, which ain't much.

All it shows is that we have a problem with late goals.

I wrote a long answer to this but I've deleted it as there was clearly no point attempting to explain to you what you've done wrong here. To have such a stunning ability with stats you would have to be shadow home secretary. Well done.

1. Do we have a problem conceding late goals? Yes
2. Is this costing us league points? Yes
3. Is it frustrating to be sitting on a one-goal lead with no confidence that the team can hold it? Yes

I don't see why everyone's being weird about this. If we conceded lots of goals from set-pieces or gave away a lot of penalties then that would be the thing to work on. We don't. We're conceding them late. Is it fitness, concentration, shape, the other team going for it? Who knows. But to pretend it's not a fact is just odd.

We need to invent some ultra strong tractor beam type thing, that can drag the ref's watch hand back 5 mins.

It's a shame fB left the TEF, as it would have given him something to do.

Exactly. As much as you try to rip these stats apart, they DO show something and they DO justify iffy's point. He's not saying we deserve to be above Charlton, or that we should be above them, but that there is an issue preventing us from being above them. An issue which relly does need to be sorted out.

Forward five minutes, surely?

No-one is pretending we don't concede late goals - I think we all agree its a problem.  People don't see the point in a make believe league table showing how it would look if [insert bizarre and inconsistent made up rule here].

If the table was decided on a rolling alpabetical basis beginning at S, we'd be 4th.

We've been fucking amazing this season. The first 40 minutes against Charlton were amazing.

But we panic like schoolboys for the last 5-10 minutes in games that we haven't put away.

The point of the table was to show that we'd be borderline automatic promotion with games in hand if this wasn't a problem.

I'm sorry I used hypothetical "numbers" to make this point. This has clearly confused and upset people. I am very sorry. In future I will revert to the far more constructive "FUCK OFF TWAT".

Don't call me Shirley.  I still have problems with the clocks going back or forward, after all the years I've been subjected to it. There's probably some name for a mental block about clock changing....whatever it is I've got it.

What if it is a digital watch though?

Don't do that, no-one listens to jayohaitchenn.

Caught me on a bad day, but my point (However bluntly i put it) stands.

Good point, then we need something like a laser to speed up the piezoelectric vibrations in the quartz...
