Fleetwood Town v Shrewsbury Town

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: Fleetwood Town scores most in the 76-90+ band (15 of 61); Fleetwood Town concedes most in the 61-75 band (15 of 61); Shrewsbury Town scores most in the 46-60 band (10 of 44); Shrewsbury Town concedes most in the 76-90+ band (22 of 77). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
