We've conceded a goal in the last five minutes (+stoppages) TEN TIMES this season in all competitions.

There have been four games in the league where there has been a goal in the last 5 minutes that changed the result. (So this excludes Oldham we conceded in the last five minutes, but we also scored and Gillingham, where we were already 4-0 down.)

These four times, it's turned a win for us into a draw. So we've dropped 8 points. The really annoying thing is that this has happened twice against Charlton (+ once against Wycombe and once against Southend).

If the whistle had blown at Swindon games after 85 minutes, the top of the league would look like this:

Norwich     63
Leeds   61
Swindon    57
Charlton    53
Colchester    52
Millwall    47

We'd be safe in the play-offs and looking at Leeds with a game in hand, and Charlton would be looking over their shoulder.

Surely you need to apply the same rules to all clubs' games for this to have any worth - actually, scratch that, even then it wouldn't.  If we had scored fifty goals in every game we'd be top.

Just apply it to Charlton - they've saved 4 points against us and lost 2 to Norwich

It just doesn't seem to happen to other clubs as often as us.

Stats are boring. Made up stats are fucking pointless.

Statistics say that 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape.

I was just working this out at lunch time!  Spooky.

Only I made it 5 games that we'd drawn from winning positions in the last 5 mins:  Wycombe, Exeter, Charlton (A), Southend and Charlton (H) - so 10 points dropped.

In all, we've conceded 11 goals in the last 5 minutes, and only scored 3, but then I suppose we've been in winning positions more often that we've not been, so there's no real drive to push on for a goal.

We've not scored an end-of-the-game winner for ages. They're brilliant.

If only goals by people called Austin and Paynter counted we'd be top, and we'd have a cracking goal difference.  These stats are quite fun.

Exeter was paint pot.

Look at Leeds' results - they're quite good at getting late goals to turn draws into wins.

I wrote a long answer to this but I've deleted it as there was clearly no point attempting to explain to you what you've done wrong here. To have such a stunning ability with stats you would have to be shadow home secretary. Well done.

If games stopped for five minutes between 50 and 55 then we'd have nine points less.

 I think the stats clearly show we have a problem...of interest is what's to be done about it?
