JohnnyPimp Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm not one for stats Neither am I but this one is quite unbelievable in my opinion. Out of 37 league goals conceded in 31 league games this season, only 1 has been scored against us after 72 minutes (82nd minute, away to Stockport)! If you assume a conservative average of 2 minutes stoppage time at the end of the 90 minutes, it equates to 1 goal in 12 hours of football. So why is my heart always in my mouth towards the end of a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornbloweroafc Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That is good statistic! I always felt we where known for letting late goals. I always half expected the other team to score in the last 10 mins, with one eye shut, sweating, hoping not! Looks like there is no need to panic ,after 80mins we (fans) can relax knowing the job is done (if we are winning)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Time to start leaving with 10 minutes to go to avoid the queue out of the car park! Nice stat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 But hold on. The players are completely pissed all the time and show up late for games having eaten ten chip butties from Tesco's. Surely this regime has the opposite effect and this is all just luck? Or is all that has been said on here after <pick defeat of Oldham by another Division 3 side> a load of bollocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrikkiNikki Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 With your team holding onto a slender lead, it is the natural tendency of any true football fan to believe that his/her team, that have just played 80 minutes or so of scintillating, free-flowing football, will suddenly become more akin to the Dog & Duck than Brazil, for the last ten minutes.
