I think the season we drew with Reading in the first leg of the playoffs, both first legs finished 0-0, where there was a dearth of attacking intent all round. 1st legs tend to be more cagey affairs. Over the last 10 years and including this season, there have been 31 goals in the first leg of Championship playoff matches. With one second leg game still to play, there have been 63 goals in second legs (just over double). Some will think, aye, but some of those will have gone to extra time. We've seen 3 goals in extra time in Championship playoff games over the last 10 years. Surprisingly perhaps, only 4 ties have gone to extra time over that period, with only 2 penalty shootouts needed.
