Slightly better than the law of averages!
i read that Akinde's pen last week was his 10th one scored of the season. which tallys up.
With these stats, there is little doubt that this is a deliberate tactic by Barnet. Akinde's style and strength is getting him into the box. A few I have seen have been stonewall penalties, some look surprising that a man of his strength should go over, but there you are. Based on this a sweeper would be a good tactic against Barnet IMO.
To balance this up just a little, Akinde received a second yellow for "simulation" when going down in the box in the 59th minute against Wrexham at the Racecourse.
Just need one or two more refs to view it this way.
