Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The late equaliser came from Callum Stewart 90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Brackley Town led Total shots 16-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Notts County also shaded Possession 40%-60%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Notts County the favourite at 54.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
