mikeleylandoafc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 There was an interesting tweet this morning from MENOAFC (presumably also Mike Keegan): @MENOAFC According to @OptaJoe #oafc have scored 73% of their goals this season in the 2nd half which is the highest percentage on League 1.#fitness When we have struggled, last season and this, it seemed some of the players were dead on their feet. There was the comparison with the Morais Stevenage model v the Morais Latics model and how much trimmer he looked. So now that we are finishing games stronger and performing better generally, is this down to an improvement in fitness, or was "they don't look fit" just an easy gripe when we were performing badly? I'm not including Lee Croft in any of this by the way, the man is a glorious exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glorious exception that has played the second most minutes of anyone this season behind Grounds and in front of Byrne by virtue of Byrne wrongly getting sent-off at Pompey.

PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) What are the stats regarding conceding goals in the second half? Edit: I just found out, 55% of our goals conceded are in second half To be honest, it's too early to tell anything significant from the stats. The one thing I will take from the stats is that so far we are mostly very poor/sloppy or cautious starters to a match. Here are the first half and second half tables for anyone who is interested: http://stats.footbal...D2/fsthalf.html http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D2/sndhalf.html Edited October 19, 2012 by PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
