North v South

[Medwayseagull]

Is Palace the only game where we have played towards the North Stand in the first half ? I am still trying to find a logical reason for the increasing disparity regarding the end our goals are scored.

I knew the moment that game kicked off that we'd be in trouble. We HAVE to attack the North in the second half. Tis the law!

You would think more teams would try and knock us out our stride if they won the toss by changing us around.

Yes, palace are the only game we've faced the north in the first half. Most of our goals are scored in the second half (20 scored in second half v 8 in the first half), there is less difference in goals conceded, with 6 in the first half and 8 in the second.

Our style of play often means we score more when opposition are tired, which will happen in the second half, and all bar one of our second halves have been been facing the north.

It may happen more next year (assuming the away fans are moved) since I think the away teams like the idea of kicking towards their own fans in the second half, too. Either that or there's a general "I can't be bothered to run all the way to the other end of the pitch just for kick off" laziness.

Every football match that the bookies price up has shorter odds for 2nd half goals over 1st
