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: Stenhousemuir scores most in the 46-60 band (15 of 58); Stenhousemuir concedes most in the 46-60 band (8 of 29); Partick Thistle scores most in the 1-15 band (14 of 58); Partick Thistle concedes most in the 61-75 band (8 of 37). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
