Exactly Phil, just plain bad luck at the end today.
We just need to carry on improving and pick up the few points we need to assure safety, building for next season.

You must have watched a different game to me. Mullin and Cambridge were poor throughout and created the same number of clear-cut chances as Walsall: zero. As I said at half time, xG data says Cambridge is the League Two team most flattered by its position in the table. Who thinks Cambridge looked like a promotion contender today? I would argue Cambridgeâs points tally will regress to the mean before the season is over. It was doing exactly that before Mullinâs bolt from the blue. As limited as Walsallâs forwards are, its creative midfielders are no better.

I did. Winning games you donât deserve to is the hallmark of a top team. United won titles based on it, getting points they didnât deserve to winning in âFergie timeâ. Itâs the sort of context that stat completely ignores.
I think you will find Manchester United deserved to win most of those games on the balance of play. Cambridge is a poor team, its players are bang average and I would not be interested in bringing its manager to Walsall based on the various datasets, which back up what I saw with my own two eyes today. Cambridge will not gain promotion.

It amazes me that so many on here still talk of building for next season when we have now won 1 in 11 and are staring non league football in the face.
Lose the next couple of games and we really are in â â â â creek.

I think youâll find I watched them at the time and made a judgement then. With my eyes. Not a stat. Thatâs what I âfoundâ. Maybe you found different.
Whether they do or not, you donât fluke having 58 points after 34 games and sitting second in a table. Just doesnât happen.

Maybe he is poor, maybe not, but he is a player, who can turn defeats to draws and draws to victories. We donât have such player right now, but relegation is a distant possibility, so it can be forgiven. I know some nervous moments can be, but crawling to safety should be enough.

I made a judgement with my eyes as well. It just so happens there is empirical data to back up what I saw rather than meaningless cliches such as yours about top teams winning games they do not deserve to win.

You said I was wrong.
I pointed out you were talking rubbish and you were talking rubbish, utter stupidity to suggest a left back would be the priority of a budget.
Rather than leaving it, you continued to rant on and are now playin the victim.
Classic passive aggressive.
You are absolutely right, I do not have a figure to back up my opinion. Because I still watch football with my eyes and not a matrix screen of figures.
Calm down ffs.

Happy to agree to disagree. That is what happens on forums. If you think Cambridge is a top team, I am comfortable with being in the opposite camp.

I agree. If only we had someone who had scored 23 goals by this point of the season. He could sit on his backside, eat cheeseburgers on the touchline, but if heâll then pop up in the 94th minute to win a game with a goal like that I would be more than happy.
My Cambridge friend tells me he is only on a one-year contract & he is resigned to losing him, even if they are promoted.
Angry, angry man.
Off to bed at 4am, but here is an xG infographic from todayâs game. Walsall had the better of a terrible match from a neutralâs perspective.
