Interesting Stat - If games were only 45 minutes long - We'd be 4th!!

[Marshy]

Hardly surprising. Well for home games at least. We ALWAYS score in the North in the second half.

Yeah Glenn... sort your home scoring record out...makng me wait until the 2nd half all the time is not on !

Hughton really earns his salt at half time.

Would be good to witness one of his half time 'talks'!

 

[ManxSeagull]

Looking at other stats.

We have twice as many points after 43 games than two seasons ago. Just shows how far CH has taken us from the shambles of Hyypia.

2016-17 92
2015-16 84 +8
2014-15 46 +46
2013-14 65 +27
2012-13 66 +26
2011-12 65 +29

Glenn himself has scored 14 of his (19) home goals, in the North net

Sorry i dont normally criticise other peoples comments (only in defending their responses to mine!) but this is up there in the "most pointless threads of the year "

It's filling up time between now and kick-off time tonight?

Can someone tell me how many goals I have missed this season going to the toilet at 42 mins?

I have to ask, why do it? For the sake of a slightly shorter wait you miss key goals. You have FIFTEEN minutes to go for a piss. I will never understand this, take the Villa game, you base your day around the football, travel to and from the game and it ends 1-1 but you have missed the most significant part of it all by going for a piss.

Here's another:-

Newcastle have the 8th highest payroll in the COUNTRY.

Seriously?

Couldn't agree more.

I'm completely anal about not missing a moment. I think I missed about 30 seconds once when I chanced a piss-dash during a lengthy injury delay, but apart from that I haven't missed a minute of the 100+ matches I've attended at the Amex.

 

[ThePompousPaladin]

When you say 45 mins long, which half is this based on.

Or indeed can we pick specific minutes we want?

I'd take minutes 23-28, than the rest in the second half somewhere...

 

[Easy 10]

If you went to the bar on 40 minutes, you'd have missed TWO (Villa and Derby) and Dunk's OG v Wednesday

INCORRECT

I saw Murrays goal vs Villa in the PIE queue. The bloke in front of me was STREAMING the game (although there was about a 5 second delay between hearing the ROAR outside and us seeing the goal on his phone).

As Liam Brady once said: if my granny had balls, she'd be my grandad.

 

[Stat Brother]

Seriously?

I was hoping nobody would call me out on it, because I can't for the life of me remember who said it.

I'd like to think it was within the BBC's celebratory coverage.
Ideally a comment from Clem.

I definitely stand by it, I just can't pin it down.

Just a guess, but was it you?

 

[Stat Brother]

Just a guess, but was it you?

No it was definitely said on the radio, making it 5-live.
I'm gonna say it was Clem.

 

[Mellotron]

I don't think it is about 'sorting' things at half time, in general. The tactics are planned right through, and generally involve plenty of possession first half to sap the opposition, before upping the tempo to take advantage of that second half.

I definitely think there are tweaks at half time. Often once a game starts the opposition tactics won't be quite as expected, a particular player or combo may be working better or worse than expected. We do seem good at controlling tempo but we also do seem to troubleshoot at half time, in my opinion.

Crikey how Interesting !!!!!!

If the games were 2 minutes long we'd probably be bottom!
