Its the frustration that the goals we concede are usually very soft and enable teams to sit even deeper. We are on the whole very solid but again today they should have scored from a really sloppy piece of defending. Luckily the guy's effort was very tame and walton could push it round the post. |  | | |

It’s bizarre isn’t it? Clean sheet record, but when we do concede it’s rare the opposition have to work for it.
McKenna’s flying. I’m dreading the day a bigger club comes knocking, although I suppose that’s because Evans picked poorly. Gamechanger got it spot on with McKenna (both the type of appointment and obviously the success of it so far) and there’s no reason to think they can’t find another good one when McK finally leaves. We need to go up this year to hang on to him I reckon. |  |

It's about context, the effect conceding can have on the result. The 21 clean sheets have brought an excellent 54 points, the 21 where we concede have brought 25 points. | | | |

Almost all goals are soft. |  |

Exactly right. A conceding teams fans tend to see a goal as soft, whereas the scoring team see it as a good finish, or a good bit of poaching etc. I am quite often surprised when opposition managers or fans talk about one of our goals as soft, and almost certainly they see things vice versa. It's a little bit about insecurity and needing a moan sometimes, the nature of being a football fan.
Rock on. |  |

I think it is that when we concede, so often it is from the opposition's only real chance, or at least one of a very small number.
Lincoln and Cheltenham being the prime examples of that. |  |

You're very rarely going to defend so well that the opposition don't get even one opportunity to score, especially away from home in the league.
We're a good defensive team, we give up statistically the fewest chances of any team in our league. That's all you can really achieve with system, structure and tactics, everything else is inevitably going to vary according to how well the opposition finish and how many shots Walton stops. |  |

KMcK is slowly becoming the best young manger in the EFL
The guy is going places that’s one thing for certain.
Don’t know when his contract is up but we need to get him signed up for longer
I’ve enjoyed this last 12 months watching my team play as much as I did when I was a snotty nosed 12 year old back in 1980/81 - different leagues , different qualities agreed but I’m living you youth again getting excited for every game
Long may this continue
The guy has worked miracles with this squad and thanks for Gamechangerand MA
Proud to be Blue ! |  |

A Lambert style 5 year deal would be great. He is definitely going places but I see no reason at all why that can't be here. Once up, we would be a better proposition than at least a third of the clubs in the Championship currently. And I think he would know that.
The potential here is huge but we absolutely HAVE to get up this year. |  |

I think it's that when we concede it usually seems to cost us. I'd happily sacrifice the clean sheets against MK Dons, Shrewsbury, Cambridge, etc so we could shift goals from the games against Charlton, Cheltenham, etc. | |

Yes we have a decent clean sheet record, but if you take todays game for example, Exeter didn't offer much threat?
When they did, we looked Shakey and they probably should have had a penalty.
Though I'm sure that was partly due to us just settling for our 2-0 (as per!)
Before today we'd kept 1 clean sheet in 6 league games.....

Today was town showing they can do enough to win games without the need to showcase its attacking ability whilst forgetting about defending.
It shouldn't be forgotten that Exeter came into the game with a high scoring strike force including Brown who we barely noticed all game. That's because we dropped back. We had Burgess soaking up all aerial pressures and we limited them to half chances.
I've been very critical recently. Today was a breath of fresh air. |  |

Context is sadly a trait lacking in a lot of football fans veering from one week to the next. Throw in polarised argument to pretty much every objective discussion with a playground mentality and it’s easy to see why so many threads descend into vitriolic nonsense.
Clean sheet or no clean sheet, recent times have shown us that we have lapses in us that need to be ironed out as we’ve allowed Wednesday within a point. That doesn’t take away from a fantastic, professional performance yesterday though. | | | |

Sheffield Wednesday are currently on track for a 97 point season, allowing them ‘within a point’ can’t be helped when a chasing team is that good |  |

Exeter have scored 17 goals at home this season, one more than us. The reason they created little might just be down to how we played. They had one real chance yesterday. |  |

The problem is that when we do concede we are more likely, than not, going to concede again. |  |

Really can’t see anyone outside the current top three making automatic promotion. The one that finishes third will most likely have scored 15-20pts more than the team finishing 6th but themshe rules. | |

True, but other games teams have created little and scored.
We will never know if they had a poor game or it was down to us. I'll concede my knowledge of Exeter isn't great.
They've played 1 more game at home than us now, and played 10th, 12th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 15th, 13th, 17th, 4th, and us
We've played 5th, 21st, 6th, 15th, 7th, 8th, 20th, 9th, 18th so a little bit on context concludes we've played a bit better teams.
Also, I would guess teams don't go there to defend the whole game vs Exeter but I don't know and can't prove that.
If that penalty gets rewarded and they score, we would be hanging on even more.
Not sure why at 2-0 we start to sit back! | | | |
