My view on goals conceded, is that we win when we score first because it allows us to maintain the shape of the team and Pennington remains pretty defensive. When we concede first, Pennington moves forward, the shape is lost and we capitulate.
It seems to me that often you have 40 yards between Pennington the defensive midfielder and the line of defenders as he moves forward. The opposition have exploited that space ruthlessly.
In 5 of his 8 matches, we've scored first and won.
Let's face it points decide the season, not goals conceded. As ridiculous as that sounds.
