How it works

Takes every league game a club trailed at half-time and counts the points it still took: 3 for a win, 1 for a draw. Averaged per game trailed and compared with the league. Better sides come back more often, so this partly reflects how good a side is. Only seasons in the club's current division count.

/ = roughly the top or bottom 15% of the league, / the next 20%, the middle. “Could be chance” means the gap is small enough to be luck. League games only.
