[pancini]

Have just found this and thought it made interesting reading. How can we be so much worse in the 2nd half than the 1st

Interesting (and very worrying) stats there.

Also interestingly Stoke, who many people compare us to, are the exact opposite of us. They're bottom of the 1st half table and 3rd in the 2nd half table.

Just shows how we sit back after in the second half when we get a lead. We are third in the first half table and bottom in the second half. Another interesting stat is we have had the second least amount of shots in the league.

I know there is a saying "Lies, damned lies, and statistics", but in this case these stats paint an accurate picture.

Allardyce comes down from the stands, second half, and starts bellowing out tactics etc - could be a possible factor. Thats one obvious difference between the two halves.

It would also be interesting to find out how many of the 2nd half goals conceded came within the 1st 5 minutes of the re-start....seems like it happens all the time.

Not many but in the first 15 mins of the second half there have been a fair few:

Goals scored against us in the first 15 mins of the second half:

Liverpool- 48th minute.

Liverpool- 53rd minute.

Stoke- 48th minute.

Villa- 59th minute.

Fulham- 56th minute.

Man City- 55th minute.

Arsenal- 51st minute.

Brum- 57th minute.

well, maybe I did exagerate but it isn't nice reading ribble valley...

Maybe we could handcuff him to his seat in the first half & leave him there with his earpiece & a cup to pee in until full time.

Big Sam is into his stats.....maybe someone can email him these ones. His printer must have ran out which meant he didn't get to see the 2nd half table.

We won our first second half yesterday.

...and we kept our unbeaten first half run going.

Which just goes to show you that statistics can be used to prove many a thing ... the league table is the only statistic that counts over the season.
