From a Malcontent perspective

[Bedfordblue]

My point is that lots of people react more positively to a situation where we lose a late lead and end up drawing. Compared to a situation where we are drawing and end up losing.

But when you end up drawing from a winning position you lose double the points 2, compared to when you lose from a drawing position 1. So really losing a lead late is much more disappointing.

Getting one point is more disappointing than getting no points?

I mean, I get what your saying, but in general the fact we were winning means we played better and there’s more positives + the fact you actually still end up with a point makes you feel better.
Also, can you lose something you don’t actually have ? (I say having checked where we would be with 4 more points from last 3 games)

Why do people react to a late goal better that leads to a draw than they do that leads to a loss. As a draw late goal is double as damaging point wise

Did they?

3 percent of 1% is 3 times more than James Tarkowski s positional expertise for that 2nd goal...Looking up at the directors box flicking his Barnet.....

I get your point on the points situation. But I think overall its human nature to not want to lose irrespective of what's at stake points wise. Of coirse if you needed a certain amount of points to win a trophy or not get relegated the reaction could be different.

Instead of more positively, do you mean less negatively? I think in your context that that might work more bettererist.

In contrast, City celebrated a late equaliser as if they had won, when in fact they had lost two points in the title race. How about those onions?

Well that contrasting but sensible viewpoint just brought tears to my eyes
