You have to look at the other sides near misses and 'stuff ups' as well.
You then also have to factor the change to the game that might have occurred if the ball went back to the centre rather than being kicked out.
It s a Butterfly effect.
And importantly if a side is pressed by a team coming at them, rather than having a comfortable margin, do they lift their game to meet, and see off,that challenge.
Port last week seemed to do only as much as they had to for us to be kept at bay.
Great post! Agree totally.
Was at the game and as it was in our last 2 losses our opposition only do what they need at the time to contain us and sadly i think the better teams know if they are 3 goals plus up on us in the last they can control the tempo control the game and get the 4 points.
We are not capable of scoring a fast run of goals that the better teams can. Our scoring is hard work and labored - so get a small gap on us in the last and its game over.
