Importance of 1st Goal

Had a lecturer talk about how its a very small amount of games that will feature all 3 scorelines in 90 mins ie home team winning, drawing and away team winning. Therefore shows the importance of scoring early in that you're unlikely to then go on and lose the game.

Was thinking about this the other day. Had we conceded first Saturday, it would have been a long road back given all we know about Preston...though we have gained points from losing position this season, see Barnsley away, Swansea at home, Huddersfield away and QPR away.

Similarly, had we scored first vs Birmingham, Millwall and at Preston- possibly Rotherham too though they have some tactical divergences, possibly the games take a significantly different path.

It’s the only stat that really matters in football - the number of goals your team scores in a match compared to the number of goals the other team scores in the same match. And the earlier you start scoring them the better, as the remaining time is continuously reducing. It’s a simple game really.

This is of course true, however there is a very valid flip side, usually more relevant in a game where you may be the "underdogs" where the later you score, the less time the other team have to respond.

In addition, it could be that the better team, carving out the best chances, and with the more lethal finishers will tend to score first.

Of course, but we've all seen that NOT be the case, many, many times.
