the problem is that the B2net has lost it's fortress title to one team that prior to our game hadn't won one away game all season, and have lost two home games since they beat us. And last night we played a team that had won one away game all season and had lost their last 4 away games making them the lowest ranked away side on current form. If we'd have lost to sides in the play off zone then fair enough but we've just fell off the top of the table to two of the poorest sides in the division.
Shows that although we have had some very good results so far, and scored many many goals there's still plenty of work to be done. Only Stockport have conceded more goals at home than us. In fact Port Vale have conceded 9 goals home and away, whereas we've conceded 17 goals just at home!!
That's football! If it was totally predictable it would be totally boring. BTW didn't Bury lose 2 on the bounce also? Port Vale went a good number of games without even scoring a goal. Ok, PV have conceeded 9 goals, we've scored 29 at home! Now whose type of football is the most entertaining? Lies, damned lies and statistics.
Just on the 29 goals, BTW. If you were the manager of the away team and you saw a stat like that, what would your tactics be? Put men behind the ball and play bullying tactics? Just like Burton and Oxford?
