Goal time segments:
There is a worrying trend starting to appear of goals conceded in the second half of games. Notts are averaging 0.50 goals per second half but conceding 1.17 goals per second half. This would indicate that if that trend continues and Notts do not hold the lead at half time there is a 57% chance they will concede and lose the game.
