Breaking Records


Recommended Posts

As we all know, Conor Ripley is one clean sheet away from the all time record at the club.

 

 

But also, as we feared earlier in the season, we are set to break the unwanted record for fewest league goals scored in a season.

 

  • We are currently on 30, the previous worst was 35, both in 1922/23 (Div 1, 22nd, relegated), and 1924/25 (Div 2, 18th).That was with 42 games in a season as well, the fewest we've ever scored in a 46-game season was 39, in 2009/10 (Lg 1, 16th). 

 

  • We have scored 18 at home, the record is 19, in 1980/81 (Div 2, 15th). The record in a 46-game season is 20, in 1959/60 (Div 4, 23rd).

 

 

  • On the other hand, we currently sit joint 5th in terms of fewest goals conceded in a season, on 43 goals conceded. The meanest defence we've ever had statistically is Dowie's playoff team in 2002/03, with 38.

 

  • Our goals conceded at home this season is currently 17, which, with a clean sheet today, would be our best effort since 1986/87 (16, Div 2, 3rd)

That site also shows how much our home form suffered when we started playing with a wide open side in 2008. 08-09 wasn't so bad, but after that, while our away form has never been terrible, we have been consistently crap at home. Only now, with the new stand finally operational, are we showing signs of recovery. The stats don't lie.

 

Even when we finished bottom half 11-20 years ago, we were competitive at home, usually winning more than losing.

 

Love stats, me. ;)
