handsofclay Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was watching the Frank Lampard's Derby v Sheffield Utd game last night when Sky flashed up the following statistic to dishearten Blades fans: Goals Conceded In The Last 15 Minutes OF Games This Season .... FL's Derby County 0...Bristol City 0. I think another team was in the stats as having conceded 0 as well but I was so gobsmacked about us appearing that I instantly forgot who they were. This is totally at odds with the stats of Mr Johnson senior whose pretty successful tenure at our club was synonymous with conceding goals in the last 15 minutes....the last 15 seconds, even! Jeez, even if we fought back to level the scores, or take the lead ourselves deep into injury time, if there was just enough time left to punt the ball down field from the kick-off and an opposition player get a head or foot to it to steer it home they invariably did. So, it is an amazing stat that Johnson Junior's team hasn't conceded a goal in the last 15 minutes of a game this season. Cue a spate of late goals conceded from here on in and me having to do penance for opening my big trap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I feel like in 2008 at least we were often the ones scoring a jammy late winner personally. I also feel like for periods we've often conceded late under Lee. I'm surprised if we haven't this season, but I suspect in general it's down to belief from the players who will keep going to the end 100% for the win, compared to taking their foot off the gas. In 2008 if we were one nil down with ten to go it felt like the crowd always believed we'd get a draw, if not a win! I can still remember Brooker coming on to head one in against Norwich in the last minute in front of the East end to put us top... Great times!

Slack Bladder Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 We conceded a goal against Villa with the very last kick (maybe a header)of the first half I know this not the last 10 mins of a game, (so therefore irrelevant) but I just thought I would mention it.

Guest Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 We did also score a lot of goals in last ten under senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus a lot of the decisive action in Johnson Snr matches occurred in the last ten minutes...no wonder he wasn't that popular in The Dolman (where Robbored is ensconced).

bcfc01 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 We've scored 5 in the last 10 minutes of games and conceded 0 which I found surprising. Derby and Leeds also yet to conceded in the last 10 minutes. https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england2&tid=j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 From what I remember the habit of conceding late goals came in the latter part of GJ's reign. It didn't seem to be an issue in the play-off season or before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of seasons where had the table been based on the score after 80 or even 85 minutes I'm sure City would've finished top instead of mid-table, whereas in the play off Final season we would've finished mid-table instead of 4th. The latest goal City have conceded so far this season was in the 66th minute v Sheffield Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It made me laugh yesterday, after Torquay's 4-1 win yesterday Gary wasn't at all happy.........because Torquay had switched off in the last 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Amazing stat. Completely took me by surprise. However we do look fit and yesterday being an example we did Press toward the end. Obviously the fitness and diet regime has worked out so far and we are concentrating. We looked assured with Kelly and Webster at CB as well. Dasilva was good and Hunt did good things despite knowing a cock up is never far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It must of been around 2010 but I remember one ridiculous season under GJ in the championship when we kept drawing 1.1 at home and throwing it away by conceding in injury time. It was freakish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpty Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Rovers haven't conceded at all, within 90 mins, in their last 5 games! And picked up 3 whole points in that time. I love stats like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
