Since our famous 6-0 win at Northampton 7th October we have scored one first half goal, which was Ryan sweeney v Doncaster. Makes you think where we could be if we scored first half goals. 1 in 5 months incredible stat.

It's been a weird season to say the least. Lets hope it ends with a playoff campaign.  |

In fairness to the op a common theme under dc has been strong 2nd half performances in general.

These are our 8 first half goals this season. W have scored 50 in total. Only 2 out of 27 since Northampton which is still pretty remarkable.
Sinclair against Fleetwood
Bodin against Fleetwood
Gaffney against Walsall
Bodin against Blackpool
Gaffney against Plymouth
Bodin against Northampton
Bodin against Southend
Sweeney against Doncaster
Very interesting that all of Ellis and Sercombe's goals have been in the second half. I wonder how many points we would have picked up this season had the games been finished at half time?

What does the second half table look like ?
I’d imagine we’re already champions ?
If there was one for coming from behind to win over the last four years we’d probably be European champions.

Interesting to see how far up Southend are on that list. I'd much rather be in our position and have the resilience and fitness to bounce back after falling behind rather than be like Southend and crumble in the second half. DC teams are always enjoyable to watch and the spirit of this group reminds me of 89/90. |

Apologies Markcz but I had a spare half hour so thought I would have a go at getting at least halfway to this. It's not quite the same - since it only reflects the change in match position from half time to full time, rather than showing if the second half was "won" or "lost". For example, if a team was winning 1-0 at half time and won 2-0 at full time, my table would show "no change" - i.e. still in a winning position, whereas a full detailed second half table would show it as a win (oh dear I think I am overcomplicating it...)
Anyway - the Gas are right up there with Rovrum and it shows that (as we know only too well) if we can keep the Cobblers tight to half time on Saturday, there's only one winner in the second half!

Mind you Axegas, Southend have a new manager now - Chris Powell - and they seem to have improved quite a bit.
Looking at the top 3 teams - it doesn't make any difference for them overall, but Rovers is by far the biggest contrast between real table and this one.
So what could be the reasons for this ?
Obviously, as someone has mentioned, superior fitness to many teams, but (and not a dig at DC) could it also be a cautious approach from our manager in the first half of games, after all, we've only scored 8 goals in the first half of games !?
On the other hand, in home games it could also mean that the opposition try to be defensive but we get through them in the 2nd half ?

I'm not so sure we're any fitter, i think we pace ourselves and save some for the final lap. DC did say a fair while ago that teams who are 0-0 at ht tend to win more matches or something like that, so i think it's more a cautious approach first half to make sure we're still in the game and go for it more the last thirty mins if we need to. |

Why don't they sell "second half tickets?"
