Out of curiosity does anyone have any data that compares the win ratio and goals conceded when Halstead is in goal vs Lovett?

Too many factors in that equation, how do they equate if they had the same players in front of them may be answerable.

The post above is spot on. To get a fair and accurate comparison, there so many variables that need to be taken into account, like quality of opposition, how close to a full strength team played for TUFC in each match, total pitch time, shots on target, penalties faced etc.

When you look at Lovett who has made only 7 league appearances for TUFC straight away there isn't enough data to compare, making it unanswerable.

I'd start with the shots on target and then find the perscentage of that by goals conceded. You could remove penalties faced as they could skew the result, and if the shots on target was small lets say 5 or less then you could dismiss the shots faced as too small to be statistically significant.
