He's a big lad so book him, simple ref logic!

Refs a see you

[macstheman]

Oops

[macstheman]

Quick response again.

[macstheman]

According to the stats we're the better team. More shots, more shots on target, less fouls etc etc but the game in the balance.

[ramAnag]

Should be winning. Stupid mistakes but look good going forward.

[macstheman]

Burton Albion winning.

Ref having a mare

Ref having a mare

He’s not the only one. Don’t know about MA and Fozzy’s presents but we’ve certainly gifted this to them.

[SithHappens]

Disappointed indeed.

[macstheman]

Down to 11th now. Normality returns. I'm sure RP enjoyed his day despite this and Burton Albion enjoyed a good win.

RP had a wondeful afternoon and early evening out in Amsterdam. Several pints of Guinness followed by Ravioli in a creamy truffle sauce at my favourite Italian. Somewhat of an anti-climax after that.

Stats. Other than the goals stat, what are they worth. Possession was pretty even, we had 50.2%. 18 shots to their 9. 6 on target to their 3. That weird xG had them at 0.58 and us at 3.27. That begs the question, how did we lose that?

The OG. Clarke was pulled down by an attacker. Should have been a free kick to us. Aggy's 2nd minute yellow was ridiculous.

Elder at RB was a mystery. It was also a failure. Post match JE said the back 4 was playing out of position. Personally, I don't see Clarke and Fozzy at CH being out of position. 4 lefties in the back 4 is a tad strange, though. Trav had a better game going forward but he was, IMO, defensively weak. The haze of Guinness followed by Texel's Skuumkoppe during the game remembers seeing what I thought to have been a nailed on spot kick for us that wasn't given. One of the ref's many strange decisions in the game. We'll play a lot worse and win games.

Hopefully, our loss of form away will spark an upturn in home form.

I think we can now forget about a late run into the play offs.

I'd seen a lot of guff about that online but never thought it a thing to get excited about.
