The points saved after 80 and 90 feel like they are off the scale.

There is a decent point there, but at the same time how many times (especially recently) has that goal been needed to salvage a point because we're behind and thus pushing for it while they're starting to sit back to defend their lead? Many games we've said that teams are on top of us and we need to change something (be it tactics or personnel) or we're going to concede. We change nothing and the inevitable happens and we're left with the unanswerable argument that if we made changes sooner we wouldn't concede as many and be needing late goals to snatch a point.

But those last gasp goals have been great for overall morale around the club because they then feel more like wins. If it was the other way round and we conceded late, despite being the same points for the match the atmosphere would be gloomier.

"Mark Robins’s men have now snatched 16 of their 56 points to date this season in overtime, having won games against Forest, Reading, Bristol and Barnsley, and earned late draws against Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Preston and Blackburn.

In total, they have scored ten stoppage time goals with late strikes from Martyn Waghorn and Matty Godden rounding off the 2-0 home win over Middlesbrough and 4-1 victory at Peterborough."
