Title: 20 goals
Post by: Meanwood Villa on December 28, 2014, 06:46:56 PM
I know we've had this for 40 points in previous seasons. When will we reach 20 league goals this season? I'm going to be optimistic and say April.

Lambert out.

Our fewest league goals scored in a season 36. Can anyone see us scoring 26 more goals in the 19 remaining fixtures, I can't.

Another unwanted record is looking likely.

We are going to have to score nearly 1.5 goals a game for the rest of the season to avoid breaking another shit record. Not going to happen under Lambore.

My mistake of 16 was looking really difficult but scoring 26 is kind of impossible for us!!

Lowest ever in PL is derby with 15 I think.

Benteke will single handedly create and score enough to push us past that.

We've gone from a 20 goals a season striker to a 20 goals a season team.

I'm starting to fear we won't even be able to unlock the Blackpool defence later this week.

Perhaps we could borrow a few Bournemouth strikers for the day?

And they can have N'Zogbia and Weimann in return.

Yup, it looks like another record on the way for our cretinous manager. Has a PL manager ever had such a terrible record for so long without getting sacked?

Another record for Lambo?

Jesus 26 more needed to beat that lowest ever of 36,  just cannot see us getting near that, it would appear another unwanted record is looming.

Fewest goals in a PL season Derby 2007/08 with 20.

Fewest goals in the old first division Stoke City 1984/85 with 24.  That was 42 games.

Fewest goals at home in a PL season Manchester City 2006/07 with 10.

Fewest goals away from home in a PL season 8 goals record held by four teams:
Middlesbrough 1995/96
Southampton 1998/99
Sheffield United 2006/07
Derby County 2007/08

I'm genuinely amazed we get the crowds we do at VP considering the dross we've endured over the last few seasons.

Fewest goals by a team not to be relegated in premiership years Leeds with 28 in 96/7. They finished 11th

Wow. I guess Tony Yeboah must have picked up an injury then. Ha ha.

Was our previous 'lowest goals scored' record mentioned on page 1 over 38 games?  Don't know if it really matters but just wondered how long ago it was.

The old division 2 69/70, 42 games.

I've just worked out that in the calendar year of 2014, those of us in the Holte have seen us stick 6 goals in that end in the entire year (including cup ties).

Beyond shocking

Being a sad stato type, I've been keeping track of various stats based on rolling 38, 19 and 10 game averages.

At the start of the season, the 38 game total said 39 goals, 19 game prediction said 44 goals and 10 game prediction said 30 goals.

Now the 38 game total is down to 32, the 19 game prediction says 20 goals and the 10 game prediction says 23 goals.

I'll go for late April. Fun it ain't.

Good man.  Don't hold back on the Standard Deviations, Moving Averages, Fibonaccis and Stochastics.

We are hungry for charts here at Hero Hedged Villains. 

Statistical series are us.

At least the points prognosis is pointing to the positive. (We should scrape our way to 40 points.)

There is a calendar year league table on BBC today showing us as 3rd bottom, above Hull and Albion, with a goal difference of -26. For consistency, that excludes the promoted sides who have only played 19 top flight games, so you would hope they would each be below us over a full season, but it is not exactly reassuring.

It's pretty embarrassing that normally you talk about the ideal in football of having a 20 goal a season striker, but with Villa we're struggling to score that as a team.
