The question this step asks
Step three is GOALS, AND WHEN THEY COME. Not just how many each side scores and lets in, but the minute bands they come in, who lands the first blow, what each side does after falling behind, and who finds goals late. A side that concedes early and scores late reads very differently from one that does the opposite, at the same goal difference.
Side by side: Huddersfield Town scores most in the 76-90+ band (22 of 83); Huddersfield Town concedes most in the 76-90+ band (21 of 67); Notts County scores most in the 76-90+ band (20 of 81); Notts County concedes most in the 31-45+ band (11 of 52). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
