The Goals Conceded in the last 5 of the half.

bit of a useless stat from the BBC to be honest, we score quite a few near the end of halves as well, so not too sure what it's showing... In all these games we've scored goals in the last 6 minutes of each half - Liverpool, bournemouth, newcastle, leicester, villa, west ham, arsenal, west brom, southampton, watford.

More just our defence being woeful in general, don't have to limit it to the last 5 minutes of each half.

I think what it does show is our ability to close halves/games out.

There's times when you watch games and there hardly seems to be anything happening in the last 10 minutes because the team leading is so good at feigning injuries, taking their time with throw ins and making substitutions slowly. (This is pretty much every game I need another goal in to win an over 2.5 goal bet in)

but we score just as many as we concede so it really balances itself out. I think closing out games in general let alone halves is more our problem unfortunately e.g bournemouth and norwich.

The only time we've had a one goal lead going into the last 10 minutes and saw it out was against Chelsea.

I think those scruffy kind of wins are absolutely huge if you want to have any business towards the top half of the table.

Since RM took over we have won 23 of our 49 home games and conceded 60 goals.

I personally think the players minds are preoccupied in anticipation of Martinez's phenomenal team talks.

The thing is we've dominated so many of those games only to defeat ourselves... Criminal really.

We've also conceded 22 goals in the first 40 minutes of every half.
