The usual result of continually giving the ball away, and sitting further and further back, is a last minute goal.

Maybe not last minute but I think we've scored more late goals than conceded.

We're always better when we're chasing a game at that stage rather than trying to see it out.

Maybe, my question was a genuine one. I've lost count of the amount of times we've conceded at the end of either half

Absolutely spot on.

Arsenal x 2, Hull, Lincoln, Swansea.

On the plus side we've got them against Palace and Everton

The 2 points lost against Arsenal, the 2 against Hull and the one today would have been enough to guarantee us survival. Criminal that it's happened so often.

But then again, we gained four points from Palace and Everton, so it evens itself out somewhat.

And don't forget that Leicester scored their first (away) in added time at the end of the first half and Watford scored what turned out to be the winner exactly the same.

As I said somewhere else, every club does it sometimes. Yes, both Palace and Everton did it against us. But I bet they've only done it once! Not every other bloody week!

Sometimes you're the windscreen, sometimes you're the fly.

We seem to be making being the fly into an art form and really it's not!! :(

We seem to be equally as adept at scoring late goals as conceding them this time 'round.

Tbh, I'm thinking more about added on time rather than the 90 minutes. Palace and Everton are pluses in added time, but there are an awful lot of minuses. Including half time goals too.

As above when you give away the ball as much as we do playing away from home then no surprise we concede late goals. Out away record at the top level is appalling.
