Winning a game from being behind

[strings]

[MENTION=3734]Giraffe[/MENTION] - here's an updated record:

Hull - conceded first in 14 games: W3 D0 L11

Palace - conceded first in 16 games: W5 D2 L9

Forest - conceded first in 22 games: W5 D7 L10

Brighton - conceded first in 16 games: W0 D7 L9

Leicester - conceded first in 18 games: W2 D2 L14

Bolton - conceded first in 17 games: W4 D5 L8

Based on the above stats... (feel free to correct - I did these calculations in a rush)

Average points earned per game where play-off contenders have conceded first

Hull - 0.64
Palace - 1.06
Forest - 1.00
Brighton - 0.44
Leicester - 0.44
Bolton - 1.00

I see what you are saying, but we concede most of our late goals when we're in winning positions, not drawing.

Fair point. I shouldn't have mentioned drawing just the ' what we have we hold ' attitude.

I was gonna ask someone to do this, so thanks! Interesting that it's us and Leicester with the worst record. At this stage of the season it shows how vital the first goal in a game is. With 5 games to go I think we need to go in front on 4 occasions to be sure of a play off spot.
