BBC Sport Stat 17:36 - Aug 14 with 1073 viewsRSCOSWORTH

"Last season in League Two, Colchester were in losing positions during just 18.9% of their matches, the lowest percentage of any side who remain in the fourth tier for the 2026-27 campaign."

This makes no sense to me as we went 1-0 down in 24 of our matches and lost three times from 1-0 up. Do you think they've missed a key word out here or something?

Just noticed that we've won every league game that we've gone 1-0 up in this year!

Poll: How many polls will Leadbelly do this season?

The only thing I can think of is the number of minutes we were behind in games. For example if we lost 1-0 and the winner was in the 88th minute, that would only count as being behind for 2 minutes. As you say we went down 1-0 in 24 of our matches, so I am sure that would amount to more than 18.9% based on that.

An interesting stat I saw in yesterday's paper was that Jack Tucker was one of only seven players in the EFL who played in every minute of every game last season.

I think that must be right, it must be an average of minutes in a game (as a proportion of 90 minutes) that we were behind over 46 games. An interesting stat though.

Jack Tucker, on the other hand, is an absolute legend!
