With 11 goals in 21 games, continuing that rate we would finish on 20 and equal the lowest ever in the Premier (Derby County 2007–08). I would expect us to get a bit more than that and avoid this record at least.
However, our own lowest ever total in a season going right back to 1888 is 36 (1969-70). No way are we going to score 25 goals in the next 17 games.

66/1 with Bet365 to not hit 20 goals

5 April 2008 Derby 0 AV 6; 12 April 2008 AV 5 Blues 1
That's 11 goals in 2 games!!!!
-
We can't really expect too many goals. We play forwards who got outscored by Martin Skrtel last season.
-
We have scored more than once in a match 4 times in 36 matches since we beat the Albion 4-3 at Villa Park I believe (Norwich 4-1, Hull 3-1 last season and 2-1 this season and Leicester 2-1). Decent record.
-
Then we should buy a striker to play with Benteke as others are not good enough. (How is Kozak getting on with recovery)

Worth mentioning that those 36 goals were in 42 games and were in division 2.

*goes dewy-eyed over the good old days*
Wait on a second! It was shit. Really really shit. Again.

Should of added a poll. I don't think anyone would click the "Will Villa score 26 goals in 17 games" option though

My money's on another record breaking performance by Lambo.

Haven't you heard? He says the criticism isn't helping. I reckon not being able to win a game isn't helping.

Even if we won all the remaining games 1-0 a new record would still be set.

Yep, first manager to take us into the Champions League *winky*

Have the Guinness Book Of Records appointed a bloke solely to keep track on our record breaking yet?

If this happens his goolies should be cut off.

I agree. Cut them off !
-
PL is a joke - another unwanted record ready to be set. Sorry to upset you Paul with all the criticism.... I agree, what's there to be critical about? Why can't we have a 'normal' chairman? Any 'normal' chairman would've sacked Lambo 2 years ago.

I got a cut opening a tin of Kanga Chunks the other day.

If Lambert keeps being lemony i'll open 'im up like a tin or sardines, the fackin' dry lunch.

Its not'just'the formation or forward line- the lack of goals throughout the team stinks of poor coaching/cowardice/lack of ability.
I'd expect each centre-half to weigh in with 3-5 in a season.
Fullbacks contribute 2-3 each.
5 a piece from the centre midfielders.
5-7 from wide midfielders/wingers (if we had 'em).
Forwards 10-20 a piece.
No wonder we're struggling.

At the high end we'd score 80 goals... and nearly win the league at the low end 60 goals something we've done once in 30 years in the top flight. It's just not gonna happen, we've never been a high scoring team in my lifetime, always seemed to have better defenders than attackers.
-
Yep we've always been good defensively, apart from a few seasons since I've been a Villa fan, it's always been midfield where I think we've struggled. I think I read of the ever presents in the Premier League we've bu far the highest percentage of draws of those 7 clubs. We're often hard to beat but never have quite enough up the other end.

66/1 with Bet365 to not hit 20 goals
Whereabouts is that on bet365 ? Is it under "specials"?
Genuine question. Can't find it.

Watching football just isn't the same without goals.

Like sex without the climax?

5 April 2008 Derby 0 AV 6; 12 April 2008 AV 5 Blues 1
That's 11 goals in 2 games!!!!
And I think we scored 5 against Bolton in the game before that

And didn't win any of the 8 games either side of those 3. As a famous philosopher once said, "it's a funny old game."

At best Gabby and Weimann might get 1 or 2 more apiece with a misfiring Benteke getting 4 to 5 more and with 1 or 2 more from others we might just break Derbys 20 goal record, was amazed when I checked that Derby only won 1 game that season and amassed 11 points, we are already on 22 points so how shit hot are we?

In the same way that we always seem to attack the Holte in the second half, we'd probably elect to attack the normal size goal.

I can't either, type it in on the web and it comes up, click on it and its not there, you found it?
