Southend United scores heaviest in the 76-90+ spell and concedes heaviest in 61-75; Barrow scores heaviest in 76-90+ and concedes heaviest in 76-90+. The shapes mesh: Southend United's strongest scoring spell is exactly where Barrow is softest.
Southend United: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season. Barrow: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two.
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: Southend United scores most in the 76-90+ band (32 of 97); Southend United concedes most in the 61-75 band (13 of 58); Barrow scores most in the 76-90+ band (13 of 52); Barrow concedes most in the 76-90+ band (25 of 85). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
