When was the last time we conceded the opening goal and went on to win?

As some alluded to on here at the weekend (when referring to Pukki's miss) the first goal seems to be quite important with this Norwich side. that certainly chimed with me and i'm struggling to recall many occasions where we have won having gone one down.

Millwall at home last season was one but was that the last time? I know we had a few comebacks from behind at home later in the season but think we went ahead in all of those games. It was when we cut out the errors and stopped falling behind in games that our season really seemed to take off.

      - I remember Dyche when he was a Sky pundit saying first goal you don’t lose 70% of the time (NCFC) - APB, Sep 23, 11:15:19
        
        Maybe he said win, it was a while ago. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Sep 23, 11:34:16
        
        Having said that, it also means you DO lose 30%. (NCFC) - APB, Sep 23, 11:16:28
        
        So the draw is 0% interesting (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:19:38
        
        Ok misread but I see it’s 71% that you (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:20:43
        
        win (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:21:04
        
        Some interesting stats (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:25:26
        
        So basically score first and you avoid defeat 90% of the time and (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 11:38:49
        
        I’m not convinced we improved dramatically thereafter ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 23, 11:44:43
        
        Did a blitz and then sat back. (NCFC) - APB, Sep 23, 12:39:28
        
        For bottom 8 teams it’s up to 20% if bottom 4 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:44:05
      - Probably. I've just a;ways felt that under Farke we are generally good at managing (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 11:14:42
        
        so you had an observation that we were good at managing a game when ahead... (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 23, 11:33:24
        
        It wasn't a criticism more an observation really (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 11:34:56
        
        I think most teams have an ability to concede a goal out of nothing (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 23, 11:19:29
        
        We trailed 1-0 and 3-0 to forest (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 23, 11:17:33
