cmonurz I 100% agree that we will probably win more games if we score the first goal more often.

McDermott started the season with a big problem in defence. His replacement for Mills was shit and the rest of the four were diabolically slow. Since then he's clearly spent a lot of focus on building a solid defensive basis from which to then start looking at building an attack. It's been a real shame that we also lost our big goal scorer.

Tails Can Snowball draw up a table to reflect this as it'll probably make for good Reading.

andrew1957 I know that there have been lots of comments about how many 0-0 half time scores that there have been this season, but the statistics are quite staggering.
So far we have played 28 games and the scores at half time have been as follows:
Winning 2 Drawing 21 Losing 5
Of the 21 games being drawn at half time - a staggering 18 have been 0-0
Reading have taken the lead 10 times - whereas the opposition have taken the lead 16 times and there have been 2 nil all games.
Of the 10 times RFC have taken the lead, the final result has been 9-1-0
Of the 16 times the opposition have taken the lead, the final score has been 4-3-9
In a normal successful season RFC typically take the lead about half the time as compared to the opposition. This year has been unusual in that we have started slowly so often and taken the lead in little more than a third of games to date.
However our recovery from being a goal down has been excellent - as has our ability to hold onto a lead when we get one.
If the guys could just step it up a little and take the lead more often in the last 18 games - then we really do have a great chance of getting into the top 2.
