Keep spouting the same nonsense over and over again, even when others provide definitive proof that you're wrong. For clarity: Yes, but apart from having more shots both on & off target, more possession, more corners, a huge territorial advantage, winning more tackles & a greater accuracy of passing, how does any of that count when compared to some conspiracy theory fantasist who wants to keep repeatedly lying based on what he claims to remember? Boring but we simply lost a very tight game to a wonder goal whilst one of our key defenders was incapacitated by a freak injury. It was a spin of the coin that unfortunately came down against us, nothing more. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as they've not paid the Sala money (as ordered to by CAS) they will be under a transfer embargo in January. I believe they are appealing to the Swiss Federal Court, but until that is settled FIFA will not allow them to register new players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all thought we were slightly the better side and were unlucky to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the half hour mark we had in effect lost 2 first choice defenders. People make up all sorts of nonsense over the midsts of time but your recollection is spot on, a tight game that we were on the wrong side of, but were marginally the better side.

Robbored Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Stats are in the eye of the beholder and I don’t recall seeing a their ‘keeper make a save all game but according to the stats City had four shots on target. That’s complete nonsense…………. No surprise that the pundits and the media described that play off final as the most dreary one they’d ever seen.

We had 6, you appear to be struggling to read? The most dreary playoff final of all time must surely have been Bristol City 0 Brighton 1, with the only goal (& probable shot) coming from a late Leon Knight penalty. That was one game I’d be very confident that we didn’t have a single shot on target, I would imagine that referrals to Dignitas must have rocketed after that snooze fest, who was in charge of us then? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 The defeat to Brighton ranks with "that" Twerton defeat in my all time lows following City. It was as if the players were unaware it was such a big game. The game v Hull saw very few clear cut chances but we were at least equal, if not the better side. We started really well & Carle & big Dele had half chances but then Brad got crocked & Windass scored a screamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I thought you would, so here's another example of a save for you. I have even done it in sequence just so that we can be sure we are on the same page to what a save is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 If the unlikely event did happen, the pay off could be seeing SLs face on the big screen as it was confirmed. As it is, I don’t think either side will be playing in a different division next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm not worried about the fixtures infront of us, if we can't pick up points from them we deserve to be in a dogfight. What I worry about more than anything is that we keep shipping goals, fix that and we will move in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came out of the ground quite despondent naturally, but took it on the chin. However, I very soon realised that unfortunately, we may have well missed a golden opportunity to reach the dizzy heights for a long time.

maxjak Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Don't know why anyone is worried? He's playing last seasons top scorer at wing back, a midfielder at centre back, we constantly concede soft goals through error's, he has thrown his record signing under the bus and our two star players, and potential financial saviours careers are going backwards? And he has only had two years to sort it out.............Merry Xmas...........Ha! Edited December 23, 2022 by maxjak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the guidance given to the stats “keepers”, do you think they made 6 subjective errors. @Hamdon Martperhaps you could give him the Opta definition. Sorry, have only just spotted this Dave. It's probably the wrong time of the year to ask such a question as everyone in the office is flat out over Christmas but a couple of points... firstly, a shot on target doesn't have to be saved by the keeper; it can be blocked by a defender (or indeed, a team mate!). Secondly, the in-ground analyst will call it "off target" or "on target" and this will be reviewed by two analysts in the office almost immediately. It will then be reviewed later on too by someone else so AFAIAA, four people. I obviously didn't see the game you are referring to but the fact that four people would have reviewed all the attempts on goal during the match and then calculated whether they were on or off target tends to suggest that the published stats are pretty safe to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
