The big problem with not being able to attend games due to family commitments at Christmas is your reliance on 'live text' from the BBC sports app.
I spent 90 minutes on boxing day following the game on the mobile and, believing the stats, was truly annoyed we managed to lose this game.
Better possession for most of the game - 14 shots to their 6 - 10 corners to their 3. What the hell?????
It would appear there are stats & then there are damn stats. But the stats that don't lie are as follows;
Played 22 - won 5.
Scored 20 - only Oldham, bottom of league 1 & lowly North Ferriby, rock bottom of the Vanarama have scored less in all 5 football leagues.
Only Barnet's winner against Cheltenham kept us out of next to bottom spot.
(Thanks also to the snake's team for coming back from 2-0 down to keep Newport bottom.)
For one mad moment, let us imagine we were a premiership team and then answer this;
Would Billy Kee be still leading the attack after 9 barren league games without a win?
Come to that, would John Coleman still be in a job?
