How it works

Takes every league game a club led at half-time and the points it ended up with: 3 for holding on, 1 for a draw, 0 for a defeat. Averaged per game and compared with the league. Better sides hold leads more often, so this partly reflects how good a side is. Only half-time scores are published, so a lead taken and lost within one half doesn't count. 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.
