One for the statto's

Apologies if already posted but I got this from the BBC site "

• Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp has not ended on the losing side in any of the last 36 matches he has scored in for the Blades in all competitions (W29 D7).

So basically we just need to ensure Billy scores and we win

If only all life was this simple. UTB

It's amazing how taking a sample where one team has a goal head start results in that team not losing much

Tell him to score an own goal early on

Or not at ALL in 36 games. There are some real cynics on here UTB

Who said anything about having a goal head start? The stat just shows that we haven't lost any of the last 36 games (whether ahead or behind) in which Sharp has scored.

But if Sharp scored then we automatically had a one goal head start.

That's what he means.

A goal head start means you have taken the lead. Scored first. We did not do that in all of those 36 matches.

Not literally.

If a team is guaranteed to score one goal then they are significantly less likely to lose.

Are we just ignoring the Hull game for the sake of the stat?

I agree. But the post to which I replied did not state that.

I love stats. You know we have never lost a game that John Ebbrell played in.
