No not really, as i've been saying over and over
No not really, as i've been saying over and overYes, you’re right. Apologies.
but, he turned Lati and only had to bend it round Rushworth to score. Our other defenders were not between him and the goal when he shot.
do you think they had really good chances to score another couple of goals?
WHO fucking cares??? you're a long time resident on here, but fuck me mate, you act like a 12 year old kid over this.Yes, you’re right. Apologies.

You put a poo emoji on my post, your high ground disappeared at that point. I've simply been putting the facts down to you and have taken the time to look through the chances you describe as clear cut. They aren't and most people don't agree with you. That's the end of it really, not sure why you can't just enjoy a good win.this is the level of discussion you drop down to FFS? When you resort to this, it throws any credibility you may have out the window.
No, nothing clear cut, but a couple they could have made more of.It is just semantics but I think most people when they hear ‘through on goal’ think being sent through one v one against the keeper. Even discounting that though, I can’t remember a clear cut chance for them apart from the goal.
Certainly nothing comparable to Tommy Conway’s chance in the reverse fixture.
xG for the Header 0.04Whittaker had a header right after the start of the 2nd half that he should have buried. If Haji missed that we would be saying he missed a ‘sitter’
78th minute, Ayling shot straight at rushworth where it was easier to score. Another where if it was Haji, we’d be saying it was a sitter.
McGree 85th minute, good chance, not a sitter
88th minute, Sene, absolute sitter missed 2yds from goal, although It would have been offside.
so, 3 good chances to score, all of which we would have labelled as sitters if it was our strikers missed them.
@fernandopartridge you should take more water with it mate
Why one earth do you think I didnt enjoy the feeling??why the fuck are you doing this??? WE WON enjoy the feeling ffs!!!
I’ve never bothered to try and understand what xG is or means tbh, I’m not sure how it affects the game I watched, but I have seen comments on here talk about how chances they’ve seen could have such a low/high xG?xG for the Header 0.04
xG for 78th minute chance (Strelec) 0.06
xG for 85th minute chance for McGree 0.05
We had eight efforts with a higher xG than the excluding the penalty
The numbers are the probability of that goal being scored from that same position based on all the other times someone has been in that position.I’ve never bothered to try and understand what xG is or means tbh, I’m not sure how it affects the game I watched, but I have seen comments on here talk about how chances they’ve seen could have such a low/high xG?
however, I didn’t mention the chances we had as I was commenting on how good a team I thought they looked, and how we upped our game to beat them, and need to keep at that level for the rest of the season.
Who decides that, the same people who decide on VAR decisions.The numbers are the probability of that goal being scored from that same position based on all the other times someone has been in that position.
Well you just gather a whole load of data from all the times someone has been in that position.Who decides that, the same people who decide on VAR decisions.
but thanks for the explanation. So it has nothing to do with the ability of the person, or wither it is an attacker or defender in that position?
It’s gone down in the last two seasons tooWell you just gather a whole load of data from all the times someone has been in that position.
For reference, the xG of a penalty is 0.76, which means on average you expect it to be scored about 76% of the time.
Bit surprised by that, I've generally been very impressed in recent years by the standard in penalty taking in various shootouts. Just goes to show how skilled Mr Wright is at taking them, must be on 90%+ for them here.It’s gone down in the last two seasons too
Well you can understand why, and we'd be the same. Win 6 games in a row playing good football and overturning a huge lead to go top, expect they'll be back on top within 2 games anyway.Having a flick through the opposition forums post-game as I usually do to gage the reaction of the opposition post match
If this place is gloom and doom after we lose a game the Boro forums are the complete antithesis
Amongst the usual “Cov are nothing special” and “The media will be loving the potential for a Lampard love in” is some real copium, some of it hilarious
Usually found the Boro lot quite a grounded bunch but can’t help but think this run has got to their heads a little bit, like it did with us in a way between August and November
The forward line is dangerous, especially Whittaker. Connelly can get in great positions but perhaps only scores one in four chances.Excellent midfield but not much elsewhere. Their forward line isn't great.
Also been reading how this Hellberg and his coaches are far superior to our lot. No they aren't. They are just blessed with that excellent midfield.

If you are judging them on last night alone you are a fool. Also you are missing the point of what a good job we did on them. You might be having a wank over their midfield but we disrupted it. Which is why their forwards looked toothless.

It’s to be expected, with the appointment of Hellberg and their uptick in form, they’re bound to think this could finally be their year and it still could be.Having a flick through the opposition forums post-game as I usually do to gage the reaction of the opposition post match

Normally there's a mix on there. There's the doom amd gloom bedwetters, the ridiculously carried away, but the overwhelming majority are in between as you'd imagine.Having a flick through the opposition forums post-game as I usually do to gage the reaction of the opposition post match

Deep down, the mentality of the nearest to average Boro fan is fearing the worst, but when form is better than it has been for a decade or so, a lot make the most of it because they don't know when they'll get the chance to again.

According to Sky Sports stats.
We had 3 clear chances, they had 0.
Don't agree sorry. Conway is bang average. Whittaker whilst ok, fairly quick is weak and generally wasteful. No just based on last night. Ask any Boro fan and their forward line is their weakness.
This is an oddly aggressive post by the way. Relax.
