As I said earlier, the 41 games include when we have scored first and then fallen behind (and cup games). That we haven't managed to come back to win when we fall behind after scoring first is equally worrying to me.
He didn't say that, he said luck play a part. There's a reason people talk about "the lottery of a penalty shoot out". If it was solely technique and ability, it wouldn't be a lottery.
I've lost count of the number of times we've had decent refs who have been slaughtered by our fans because they don't understand we don't deserve a free kick just because one of our players go down, that sometimes our players foul, etc.
Conceded first in 38. Gone behind and failed to win in 40 (we scored first v Blackpool and Palace last season, but fell behind and failed to claw back the lead).
This includes a cup replay v wrexham, which we drew over 120mins and won via a penalty shoot out.
On saturday people loved the look of the line up, a glut of goals was predicted. We all know how that turned out.
Please people, try to rein it in a bit when the line ups are announced.
