    As we get towards the business end of the season we get cup finals, promotion races, play off scrambles, and relegation battles.

    Pundits, Coaches and Fans will start talking about the need to 'Get Some Momentum' moving into this critical stage of the season....

    We can probably think of a team who stormed into the play offs, made the great escape from relegation.... but does it happen as often as we think? Frankly, we wanted to see if momentum was real, or is it a myth?

    Here's an old episode where David put in the hours to find us an answer based on the available data for the EFL Championship.

    How many times do you watch a game of football where the commentators or pundits say

    'The first goal will be vital today.'

    Yeah of course you always want to score first, because you want to score!! But does it really make a difference who scores the first goal in an EFL Championship game?

    We threw that logical hand grenade to David Bromley who set about collecting the data and changed the raw information into a format that gave us a clear insight into;

    1) Is scoring the first goal important?

    2) Is There a Difference Related To The Team Playing Style?

    3) Which Teams Struggle When Conceding The First Goal?

    4) Which Teams Are Least Affected By Going Behind?

    It was a very interesting dive into a commonly asked question and it left us in no doubt about the answer.
