    Well..... we had more attempts at goal and more shots on target.

    And more possession.

    Not that this is conclusive – statistics are somewhat malleable.

    10 Pearsons in your side would have more possession

    10 Winnalls would have more shots

    It really is however difficult not to describe as morons those who have not been to the match and yet who simply look at the result and post things such as “*****”etc.

    Whilst everyone is welcome to post their opinion, perhaps site admin could set up a Fookwit's Corner where the observations of the bereft could be compartmentalised and left to clutter up their own particular area of the board. An area which could be visited occasionally just to make sure the occupants were being properly looked after and, if necessary, medicated.

    Is it OK to comment if you've only listened on the radio?

    Only two stats matter; goals for goals against. Everything else is window dressing.

    seriously, do you just come on here to be confrontational or prove you're a 'proper fan', just mentioning it because that's how the vast majority of your posts seem to come across.

    Typical manchild behavior.

    Do you actually not understand that statistics indicate strengths and weaknesses in a team, or do you not watch football?

    Why, have the Football League started awarding points on possession?

    Having more possession is perhaps an indication you are more likely to win a game and if you tip all secondary stats you perhaps be also more likely to win but at the end of the day goals matter. And you score by having shots on goal. We don't have enough.

    No offence to you mate. But take the petty insults home. It's literally true to say that the only statistics that matter is the score is it not? Or can you say how many points we get for having more possession today as I thought it was none.

    It doesn't matter if you have more shots or more possession; Redstar is correct that the only stats that really matter are the goals for and against.

    Well that would imply the other stats aren't just "window dressing" then wouldn't it?

    You are probably right on that one.

    Doesn't matter whether we played well, or whether they were lucky.

    If we lost it justifies each and every comment of vilification directed against the team and the manager.

    Nothing beyond winning matters.

    Well what we might be able to do is make an informed judgment based on the statistical performance of the team and not berate them just because they lost (in the 90th minute and away).
