Mmmmmm, and if my grannie had, well you know the rest.

I wonder how many points other clubs around us have lost to late goals?

Why do you need to put a negative spin on every positive post.

Ah well, we'll just have to go and win some points by late goals to even things up a bit.

The game is played over 90 minutes, then a sometimes seemingly inconsistent amount of stoppage time is added. They are your hours of work, it should not come as a surprise to anyone. We've consistently failed to perform in our hours of work.

That said, a fully fit and fully 'on it' Rovers squad challenges for the play-offs in my opinion.

It's still do able. At least one club makes a late charge for the play offs and quite often carry some momentum in to the play off matches.

Got to get Boxing day nailed then see what happens in January.

It’s fair to say that this is a v close league and any team putting a decent run together could do quite well by the end of the season.

For me a mid table finish of around 60ish points will do. I’d be amazed if we got into the playoffs and would not have high hopes in the slightest if we did

We won't, but if we did get in the playoffs you'd have to massively fancy us cause it would've meant we'd had an unbelievable second half to the season

So overcoming a 9 point gap in 23 games against sides who are generally getting good results each week wouldn't mean we'd had a great 2nd half to the season??

Classic footy fans
We win and we start talking about the play offs and how close we are.
We lose in the last minute and we are going to be relegated and the manager should be sacked as he is clueless.
Always makes me smile.

We won't make the playoffs and we won't be relegated we will end up where most people wanted us to be this season.
Just some don't like the ride in getting there

Does that include the games were we haven’t conceded in the last 5 minutes?

think as i've said previously in the real world we have to deduct the charity 3 points Bank of Blackburn presented To Donny as i've said that is the 8th wonder of the world

so let's make that 6 points  on the IF subject if that left back hadn't got injured the season might have been completely different so far

I don’t, I just add a touch of realism.
Why do you put those special glasses on if someone posts something you don’t like?

I am as happy as any supporter when the results go our way, as many of my posts confirm.
However I don’t get over excited because we are far from clear of the bottom four despite being in mid table.

It's not realism!

I doubt there's any sides that have lost the number of points we have after 88 minutes.

Opening post was just stating a fact,

This table shows you just how bad we are in the closing stages of games.

Looking at that table we should score a few between 45 and 75 on Tuesday

It's probably true,mind.

Yes looking at both our and Northampton's stats your right, we should probably scor at least twice between the 45th and 75th min. This is ou best time at home and Northampton's worst time away.
So you can guarantee there will be no goals scored during that time period tomorrow.  ;)

Looking at that table the number that stands out for me is that Rochdale have only scored 3 goals all season after the 75th minute.

Boy did we have an impact on that one!

That table shows us what we already know about performances. Poor first half, good second half until the last knocking.
