Scoring goals

[Steve kirk]

Not sure what is the fewest league goals we've scored in a season since we were founded but were heading for an extremely low figure which puts so much pressure on the defence, great to get a point today but I'm so worried, just got to hope the Beast can hit the net enough to keep us up but its looking really bad.

We're now the lowest scorers in the division in our own right. 27 more goalless draws would probably be just about enough.

I presume we're also the lowest scorers in all four divisions as well, not just our own.

Yes we are, what a discrace. Burnley have scored 6, no other team in any of the four leagues is on single figures. I am desperately hoping he goes this week.

1969/70 36 goals
1968/69 37 goals
2011/12 37 goals (Mcleish)
2013/14 39 goals (Lambert)
2005/06 42 goals

Very good chance that Lambert will smash the record for lowest goals scored in a season ever.

[Meanwood Villa]

Our current rate of scoring would leave us with around 17/18 goals by the end of the season. If it wasn't so depressing it'd almost be funny how bad we are. Maybe we'll have a good laugh in years to come.

I guess Man. City fans do.

Didn't they score only 10 home goals in a season a few years ago under Pearce? They must've been pretty low scoring that season.

[PeterWithesShin]

While it's not normally as bad as it is now, our goal scoring record over the last 30 odd years is pretty shite. Apart from the 71 under Pubey I struggle to think of a good season. And even then a hell of a lot were from set pieces (I know they all count but you know what I mean).

[saunders_heroes]

Lowest goal scorers in the PL so far this season. We're into November and we've scored just 5 bloody goals. It's just appalling. David Moyes is available yet we still stick by this absolute disaster of a manager.

It's all very worrying

Someone had better appreciate me being a sad git and doing all that!

[kippaxvilla2]

Well done PWS.  Nice work.

[silhillvilla]

Great stats PWS, can't see us getting anywhere near 37 our previous worst under TSM

[supertom]

Well you had to have a break from staring at Kaley's Cuoco's.

[supertom]

Lambert to break another unwanted record? Yep, sounds about right. On current form in front of goal we're done for and it'll take a significant turnaround to sort us out.

[pauliewalnuts]

Seriously, think about it. Ignore the results part, just the goals scored bit.

We have played seven games and scored ONE goal.

We've played 11 matches this season and scored FIVE goals. We didn't even score in our Capital One Cup match at home to Leyton Orient.

That is the worst in the Premier League.

How anyone thinks this bloke is going to turn things around is beyond me.
