Do we score more than half of our goals at the Covered End?

I always used to think we did. Anyone got any perceptions or, indeed, facts? I’m thinking over the years not just this season.

Think that was the old plan. Go 2-0 down then get one back then the other team would waste time (to kill the game).

We have scored a lot of late goals (this season), and kept the tradition of playing Cover End second half so I imagine so...

I am sure we play to the Cover End second half for that reason as well.

Can't think of any other reason to get the sun in our Goalkeeper's eyes in the first half.

More goals are scored in the second half of football matches generally and we tend to kick that way in the second half so I’d say it’s very likely.

I'm sad and have no friends.  Guess what I just spent half an hour doing.

Superb work, @ArmchairAddick. Could you knock out the stats for the last 25 seasons if you get a spare moment?

Bostonaddick

armchair - since you have no friends, can you do the same analysis for the last ten years.  Thank you

Last season was 24-12 in favour of the Covered End in league matches.

26-19 including cups.

We need to put the pitch on a rotating plate so that we’re always attacking the CE.

What about the number of pens with get?

We’ll soon be on to throw-ins hopefully.

I think we need to know breakdown by half as think stats show more goals get scored in second half of games. 

So if we attack covered end more often than not in second half we should be scoring more at that end.

You find 25 years worth of highlights for me and a weekends worth of beer and I'm on it 😜

So what you are saying is we should change it for cup games?

this is the sort of info Big Sam would have been all over back in the day to get that extra 0.5% edge.

This is why teams turn us round at kick off when they can. Shrewsbury did it to us in the play offs always sticks in mind. 

Always knew the ratio was high but now the evidence is here lock and sink this thread.
