Conceding first

[Cleveland_Stag]

We conceded first away at Notts County back in October but went on to win the game. In the eleven games since then in league and cup (not including the pizza trophy because it doesn’t matter) where we’ve conceded the first goal in the match, our record is:

0 wins
3 draws
8 losses

Massively concerning that we seem incapable of turning around matches. I know that nobodies record is going to be fantastic when you go a goal down, but the above statistic is alarming. It obviously coincides with our inability to score goals of importance in the last 20 minutes of games. Not sure what to put it down to, it makes me think we lack a bit of backbone.

We wouldnt have scored today had we carried on playing till midnight, but saying that mistakes aside i dont think they would have. Really poor game today, too many below par performances, neither side tested the keeper, Brunt should clear that and we all know that was never a penalty

Check the PPG of any side going behind and you'll see we've got one of the best records in the division.

Maybe so. Still, the above shows we’ve struggled mightily when we’ve conceded first in games in the last 4-5 months. We’re going to concede first in a few more games this season, and when we do we’re probably going to need to do a bit more than we have been doing when a goal down!

Another worrying stat is that we have only kept 1 clean sheet in the last 10 games and 3 in the last 15 games.

We seem to be going through on of those spells again where every mistake is getting punished.

We went away to promotion rivals and conceded 7 shots, that’s not bad. One was the pen which wasn’t.

0 Wins
3 Draws
9 Losses

That’s our record now in all comps (excluding pizza trophy because nobody cares about that) where we’ve gone 1-0 down in since we last came from behind to win at Notts County away in October.

This team has no backbone. No fight. We concede first early doors and we wilt, as the above stat shows. Done it again today in embarrassing fashion.

Devoid of confidence and composure up front and absolutely shambolic at the back. Need back to back wins now! Unfortunately MKD will rip us apart.

[BH_Stag]

Huge concern. Need to show much more resiliance than we have.

Teams come here and it’s too easy. Get the first goal and you’ve pretty much done the job

We'll probably beat them 6 nil. But seriously I've know idea what has happened to us in the last month. Pressing has all gone, can't pass. Appalling!

The last hoodoo of the season we have to break...
