One interesting stat that shows an impressive turnaround

[Eric the Half a Bee]

It was once said of Dave Jones's sides that if they conceded first, they never won. In fact, his side did go almost 2 years without a win when conceding first but, by the end of his tenure, we were among the better teams in the division for comeback wins.

Prior to being sacked, Mick McCarthy's side conceded the first goal in 10 successive matches, losing 9, winning 1 at bottom of the table Forest.

Since then we've conceded the first goal 13 times, winning 4, drawing 3 and losing 6, giving us a win percentage of 31% and a points per game average of 1.15 when we've conceded first. We've scored 15 and conceded 19 in those 13 games. This is a better record than any other club in the division.

It's also worth noting that, in the league, only Bournemouth have beaten us by more than one goal under Morison.

I think the turn around in our resolve is fantastic. We were regularly being beaten handsomely by sides under McCarthy. Now we are showing a never-say-die attitude while playing some better football.

Let's hope we get the same quality players we have on loan now, next season, along with our first team young un's.

The futures so bright I gotta wear shades
