Statistics support Sparky's half-time team words and the spirit of the squad....If we took the points only at half-time, we'd be 15th on 42 points, just 1 goal ahead of The Irons and Brum. It was the same last year, when we would have been 17th on that basis. The same must be said for Wigan, Stoke and WestBrom who would have all been relegated this season on the basis of first-half performances.
