The excellent table here gives:

Clicking on the Half-time option above the table gives:

So overall we have scored 28 goals for and conceeded 14.

In the first half of our games we have scored 8 and conceeded 7.

Which means in the second half we have scored 20 and conceeded 7.

I like our second halves!

Also Overall at Home we are 16 goals for and 5 against, and Away we are 12 goals for and 9 against.

At Home at half time we are 6 for 2 against, so in home second halfs we are 10 for and 3 against.

Away at half time we are 3 for 2 against, so in second halfs away we are 9 for and 6 against.


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

Ernie addressed this in the podcast.


Purely down to fitness and good training.


Also it should be noted that generally more goals are scored in the last 10 minutes of games than any other 10 minute block anyway.

Or to Ernie telling the players at halftime what they're doing wrong.

"At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive...

I'll take my chance because luck is on my side or something...

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand...

Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."

Don't think this is it; though do believe we have overall looked more cautious in the first half of games.

I think Ernie is definitely one of the better coaches at being able to make adjustments e.g. in formation, tactics during the half. It's just one factor though of many e.g. fitness.
