Stats Entertainment 2007

Before the 06/07 season becomes an unpleasant and not particularly cherished memory, I’ve compiled a few statistics that may or may not be of interest to someone. Somewhere. Possibly.

The first set are your average, run-of-the-mill bit of number crunching that usually appear at a seasons end:


Next on the agenda is an update to a chart that I originally put on the blog in January detailing the periods during a game in which goals were scored and conceded:

• Just over one fifth of the goals conceded this season (20.45%) came in the final ten minutes of of matches.
  
• We won only two matches that we'd gone behind in (Grantham away and Burscough at home. Both games within two days of each over over the August bank Holiday weekend).
  
• Conversely, we lost eight games in which we'd taken the lead
  

The third and final (and frankly most spoddy) set of statistics is a breakdown of the goals that were scored at Seel Park between August and the end of April both for and against Mossley:


So there you go, the question that was on everybody's lips has finally been answered - more goals were scored at the School End than the more popular Park End. I know I'll sleep easier tonight...

Whilst they’re not the most visually stimulating set of statistics ever produced, I hope that the information contained within is decipherable enough. Are they useful? Probably not but I'll leave it up to you to draw any conclusions you wish from the information provided.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm off to put my calculator in a bucket of cold water as it's giving off enough heat to melt steel.
