[Albion] Struggling for Goals...

[Bold Seagull]

We are now the 4th highest scoring side in the division on 27 goals, with Fulham top on 31, M'boro 2nd on 29, Hull and Ipswich joint 3rd on 28.

We now have 6 players on 3 or more league goals.

We have 8 different scorers in the league in total.

10 different players have assists (note there are 17 assists attributed to the 27 goals).

It ain't bad for a side struggling to score. Imagine what might happen if we aren't struggling for goals.

Surely we're 4th?

One goal from EACH of our three strikers on Saturday.

Statistical presentation. Joint 2nd counts as second.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised by these stats.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

That's surprised me, but perhaps it shouldn't have.

 

[NooBHA]

I wouldn't have expected anything less from a side sitting proudly at the top of the League

I don't think we have been struggling for goals at all, and we've largely been there or thereabouts with the other challengers in terms of what we score for a while now.

Where I think we have been struggling is to make possession, dominance and chances truly count.

If we did have a more prolific strike force, and I do mean Baldock and Hemed primarily here, I think we would be nearer 50 points than 40 right now and we wouldn't be getting all this "Brighton are grinding out results" shit from opposing fans who've not really seen us play.

The list is missing Fulham who are highest scorers with 31 goals

If only our defence wasn't so porous...

So we're 5th highest scorers then!
Any more?

True. But we're not joint second. We're fourth (or 5th. if the later posts about Fulham are correct)..

We are top of the yellow card table at the moment with 41, I didn't actually think we were that bad a side when it came to fouling.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Ridiculous having to look down to 16th for the divisions top scoring side!!!

I don't think we are dirty but I think we have a higher card to foul ratio than most. I'll try to find the stats somewhere.

Struggling for Goals

We may be good compared to most sides in this division, but 27 from 19 isn't exactly prolific, is it?

It looks to me (every Saturday as I watch the results coming through) that the Championship overall is very short of goals. There seem to be far more scored in Divisions 3 and 4 (aka Leagues 1 and 2), and probably more in the PL too. Anybody got any stats to prove this? And if I am correct, any suggestions as to why the Championship has fewer goals per game than other divisions?

For example, we get a card for every 5 fouls committed. Burnley have to make almost twice as many, almost 9.95 before a card is issued.

Very good point, top 3 scoring clubs in previous seasons after 19 games:
14/15
B/Muff 37
W'Ford 36
Derby 35

13/14
Derby 40
Leicester 31
Burnley 30

12/13
Cardiff 37
Palarse 36
M'Wall/Watford 33

So is the Championship particularly defensive this season!?

"Brighton are grinding out results" SHIT from opposing fans who've not really seen us play.

How did that get through the swear filter?

I remember the start of the season we were getting 5/6 bookings a game. Lua Lua got a suspension after 6/7 games if I remember correctly?

There is no doubt a decent goalscorer would be well into double figures this season for us now though and we would be a further 6 points better of at least. We have missed a stack of guilt edged chances that we shouldmhave taken.

I know everyone misses the odd chance but we really do stack them up
