Isn't that true for pretty much all sides though?

How many teams actually win regularly after conceding the first goal? Bet it's hardly any.

      - 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
