You don't need to be an astronaut.

Not wanting to cruzifie the crew on the day, we don't know what brought them low.
However to the guys stating that it is "normal" to basically scrap the fence in Skiathos: no it is not. If you think it is you should re-examine your attitude to flying.
You have plenty of room in your dispatch calculations on a dry runway, and this calculation does not consider the upslope (which obviously helps).
If you want to land slightly "early", fly slightly steeper - this also gives you a better chance of not floating, which is the most important thing.
Condor above show how it is done, landed early and firm, with margin of error with regards to the fence. Absolutely no need to creep in low.
