Me and Nick have agreed on something, I have screen shot it, these defeats were both down to dubious goalkeeping, the defence still had a solid look in both games, i was at the Newport game and I am going by reports for the Yoevil loss.
My piece of "piss this league" was an attempt at a satirical swipe at CCFC fans on social media, we win 2 and we are going up as champions, we lose 2 and it is the end of the world.
The timing of the goal v Newport was perfect for them. Start of 2nd half allowed them to consolidate and put 10 men behind the ball making it more difficult to break them down. No mistake, it's game where we could have maybe have nicked it. That's football for you.
Yeovil is less clear cut, dumb mistake by the keeper and we concede earlier on, but they did score later on... Was it because we exposed ourselves trying to get an equaliser or bad defending? Who knows.
Perhaps if neither of these mistakes happen, we maybe at least draw those games, we look in better stead. Considering 66% of our goals have come from 2 goalkeeping mistakes (1 if we use the Torcho multiplier) it is a really impressive way to start the season.
I think a lot of Cov fans panicked too early. There
are goals and pace in this squad (cue lynch mob) and we don't concede many goals either. We're doing better than our 'predicted' promotion rivals and I think there's more to come from this group.
