Title: First goal so important
Post by: matty on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 17:09:20
Millwall ‘s record when scoring first this season....

Won 20 Drew 3 Lost 0

Town’s record when conceding first....

Won 0 Drew 9 Lost 7

First goal critical anyone?

on the flip side it is the play off's so this kind of thing generally goes out of the window! :hmmm:

league games - and technically we didn't 'win' the game Monday either did we - we lost 2-1 and the first leg balanced it out to take it to extra time and pens?

one off, winner takes all now.anything could happen,but yeah, scoring first would be a major bonus

Er...we conceded first on Monday evening

And we still lost! I think the point is pretty valid TBH

1st goal is totally crucial.

We need to score first to settle any nerves! Wembley is a big pitch and we pass it around well so hopefully should see us out play the scum

That's only one side of the coin though. Sure our figures scoring first are as good, not sure about millwall's when they conceed first?

Ok Sutton - you asked so here you go...

Town's record when scoring first...

Won 22 Drew 5 Lost 1 (Just as good if not better)

Millwall's record when conceding first...

Won 4 Drew 6 Lost 9 (Much better than ours)

Like others have said though it is the play off's so we will probably go 1 nil down and Douglas will score two to take us up!!

Yeah I know I was just being flippant. I agree with arriba, it's a one off, season form is not so relevant.

Doesn't that also indicate they're more likely to concede first though? Meh. After Monday, anything's possible

Ha and who was the only side to beat us when we scored 1st, buggery bollocks, Millwall!

If you want to look at stats, well we've never lost at Wembley, never lost a play-off final, whilst Millwall have never won a play-off final, and they'll have memories of last years when they were 2-0 up and lost 3-2.

yeah but all our play-off victories have been when rhe year began with 1.

No point in going to Wembley. Nouble scores the winner with a far post header with 2 minutes to go.

I am even sitting in the right place in Wembley, matching what I saw in my dream. I didn't buy my ticket....
