⚽ Match Thread vs. Barrow FC 22.10.24 [EFL L2]

That was a hard watch and not just because of the posts in the way !
I’m really hoping Palmer can get back to how he was before his injury because tonight he was truly dreadful.
They caused us so many problems running at our defenders and when we did the same we worried them, but we just didn’t do it enough. Our build ups were so slow at times.
A good point and I wouldn’t say we robbed Barrow but more like they got what they deserved in time added on due to their time wasting.
Wiping the smug grin off their keepers face, who a few minutes earlier was giving it large to the Notts fans was a bonus as well.

Gillingham heading for a 5th straight defeat, 0-2 down at home to Newport who have lost their last 3. What the hell has happened to them since they played us?

Bonner out,!! Imagine losing 5 in a row. . Guy doesn't know what he is doing

Barrow were not robbed they were total garbage they sat back and invited Notts on. I'm pleased we're in a promotion place at the moment but Reez need to be looking at the stats and metrics. We can and need to do better.

Who is Reez

The metrics say we’ve got about the exact number of points as we should.

I agree that we’re not playing well, though. The wing backs thing is driving me up the wall.

Lies, damned lies and metrics!

We've been fortunate, averaging 70% possession yet teams are having far more efforts on goal. Teams press us high and if they score first, we are out of ideas, what the f&^% was Crowley doing at centre back tonight!

Tsaroulla has promise, like him a lot and love Crowley but, goes round and around and looks like he might disappear up his own jacksy at times.

I mean we’re going 1-0 down pretty much every game so we’re actually doing kinda well from that position. But we really ought to stop getting ourselves into it.

Possession won’t be the key metric, I imagine is more based on xg for and against, be interesting what that says for the season.

Wow Barrow were robbed. We did play better in second half. Not in it at all 1st half, better second and a dubious penalty saves the day

Barrow ran out of steam and sat deep in the second half after pressing high and working very hard for the whole of the first half. We rarely looked dangerous despite our possession stats.

[matt_magpie]

FotMob says our xg was 1.69 and theirs .83, 2 big chances us, none for them, no idea how reliable their stats are or where their from, 72% possession.

True, but even though the result and reward is exactly the same I much prefer conceding early and equalising in stoppage time rather than the reverse!
