Don’t get me wrong. It felt like that at the game, particularly as we were always chasing the game. But watched in the cold light of day, in the 90 we edged it. In extra time particularly the second half we were absolutely all over then. They were dead on their feet.

What that’s got to do with the thread though. Who knows.
Because the statement goes on about metrics and luck. The metrics show what you observed, we were the better team. Regardless of that those metrics did not translate into balls into the back of their net, nor did they address how easily we let balls into our net (in both play off games and even against York, the last game of normal season).

And even if they were dead on their feet (why then didn't we finish them off in extra time?) we still needed lady luck on our side to win the penalty shoot out.

So the posts are in response to the statement and even it seems to your view on the game.

All very exciting stuff but if we'd won 4-0 then thumbs up to the metrics.

However what was there for all to see, defensively, has still not been addressed, metrics or no metrics (or statistics and damned lies).
