Forest v Brighton

7-0 to Forest and Brighton 63% possession.

Just goes to show stats don’t tell the whole story

 

Well possession stats certainly.

The goals scored stat seems fairly conclusive in that game.

 

I vote for Redstone to join Match of the Day.

 

Also Premier League... if you think Barnsley's defence is dodgy, that fourth Everton goal against Leicester. I don't think it is possible to defend any more comically terrible.

 

Preston's winner against Middlesbrough the other week takes some beating. Absolute circus, topped off by a defender seemingly pulling his socks up as the ball bounces off him. The other two goals in the game were both absolute crackers!

 

I hadn't seen that. It is difficult not to conclude that the defenders didn't care. Pulling up his socks when he's supposed to be desperately defending at all costs.

 

It baffles me how Brighton have won more than they’ve lost. Everytime I’ve watched them they’ve been poor. I watched them draw with Southampton on a Friday night a while back & they were second best. Maybe they’re just poor when they’re live on tv.

 

Forest also had 1 fewer shot on target than us against Burton.

And scored 7.

 

I can help with that too. They have scored more goals than their opponents on more occasions than the opponent has done the reverse.

Easy this pundit business.

 

Bit harsh that looks like they clashed heads and were holding their heads

 

On second viewing you might be right actually. Still a proper mess of a goal to concede.
