Welcome to the Goals of Wales, a data breakdown of goals scored in the 1st and 2nd Tier of Welsh football consisting of the JD Cymru Premier, North and South leagues. Here I look at who is scoring and when and if any trends stand out. I'll be adding more as we go.
A question you might ask is why? Well it's interesting to see over a season how teams did and by breaking down games into chunks, we can see where teams did well and not so well. At the end of the season, we'll do a big reveal of how everyone did, minute by minute.
