View From Peterborough

Nope.

They would have earned the right but that's just my point, they didn't.

We won fair and square.

I remember us once having 28 corners in a game against West Ham and losing 2-0. That's football. The rules say that the team that scores the most goals wins.

If you can't score then you can't win and it's the oppositions job to stop you scoring.

We did that well yesterday. Doesn't make Peterborough unlucky to lose just like we weren't lucky to win.

We earned it.

again, I understand how the scoring system works, that's not my point.

If a game is close and one team has a similar amount of chances or more and don't get a draw it is fair to say that HYPOTHETICALLY on the balance of the game they deserve a point

We deserved a point against Bolton and millwall.

You can have a view on whether the result was a reflection of the over all play of the game or not without having to boil it down to a binary calculation of goals scored

Here's a clue Sheffield United 1 Peterborough 0. They deserved fuck all because they didn't even score and we scored more than them. Debate over

if it really was as black and white as that football would be really boring

Should Argentina have beaten England in 1986? The scoreline says so...

Should England have gone in 2-2 vs. Germany in 2010 when Lampard 'scored'? The scoreline says no...

Should our goal at Upton Park in 2006 have been disallowed?

Based on your logic, England and United deserved to lose all those games.

That's where luck does come into it.

No matter how well a team plays they can't legislate for cock ups by the officials, or balloons on the pitch come to that.

I didn't see any such external influences have any bearing on the outcome of yesterday's game.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Did we deserve a point against milwall?

 

[JordoBlade]

Did we deserve a point against milwall?

No. We were worthy of a point but we didn't deserve one because they outscored us.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

No. We were worthy of a point but we didn't deserve one because they outscored us.

Lol what's the difference between worthy and deserving?

I was glad we won a very competitive match..

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Know what you mean about formation. I agreed with the change at half time. I was thinking we don't need 3 CBs, we're the home team, why should we stack the defence!? But, it seems to work better with the players we've got than 4-4-2.

Scougall bless him, I like him this season, trying very hard and is trying to be creative, but he's not a right winger.

Brizzle played 3-5-2 and got out of this division. We were the only team that really did them that year at home but we played a weird formation ourselves that day from memory.
No doubt we'll get sussed a bit with 3-5-2 but it does suit our players better.

Will expect same team and same formation v scunny.

UTB
