There have been more goals in North End's 17 matches than any other club's - 50. Only Bournemouth, Blackburn and Reading have scored more and only Coventry have conceded more than us.

A quick glance at the league table shows this isn't even true.

Rovers games have involved 51 goals.

Rovers have scored 31 of them. (We've scored 25.)

We've conceded as many as QPR, Rotherham and Wycombe.

What are we celebrating here again?

It's all down to our brand of open, fast flowing, exciting football. More teams should take a leaf out of our book

It's all down to our brand of dull, boring, sideways backwards football. No-one should take a leaf out of our book.
 
Blackburn have had the most goals in games so far with 51.

We're second in that particular table on 50.

You found one minor error - and spun it out to look like a litany. Top point-scoring. You must be so proud of yourself 👍

While you're here sticking your oar in unproductively as usual, why not answer my question?

What are we celebrating with this thread?

Do you know?

OK - if "celebrating" is too tinged with positivity for you - what's the point of the thread?

Interesting stat innit, see if anyone has anything to comment on it, if not it'll just fall down the list of threads on the forum so no harm done

Yeah, that sounds a good idea.

Had to do a double take looking at league table and seeing team were third highest scorers in the league. Scored 4 more goals than Watford who have Sarr, Joao Pedro, Deeney, Andre Gray and Glenn Murray all as options in their squad.

Just shows how good the counter attack has been, obviously not so much at home but it was pretty good last night in last 15 minute with Boro's slow defence parked on the halfway line so that needs to be the template for future home games and then you'll see the team score 2s and 3s on regular basis.

Not too bad is it with AN largely having to work with untested league 1/2 and league of Ireland strikers for much of his time here. Then gets a promising yet raw young Danish striker as a "reward" while someone like Chris Hughton inherits likes of Grabban and Lyle Taylor at Forest (and still they can't win many games). Sinclair is only one of the present set who'd get a regular game at most teams above in the league.

Would love the club to get a decent out of favour prem striker on loan in January but it's not going to happen unless someone like Kienan Davis comes in with Villa paying pretty much all his wages given he's been linked a few times before.

AN is getting more out of mediocre group of strikers (if the aim is still to get 5th place) than should be expected? Forest have scored 10 goals all season and they have Grabban, Lyle Taylor, Knockaert , Joe Lolley and Ameobi as their main options so I'd say well over double is pretty good going so far. Derby 9 goals and they had Waghorn and Tom Lawrence coming off the bench the other game.

Defence not so good of course but then it's largely a mid table set of defenders even when Bauer was fit. Again will be interested how backed he is in January given another CB is needed now for depth.

You stuck your oar in destructively with a smart-arsed and unfair side-winder - one aimed at a fella who doesn’t post often.

Sorry if you don’t like someone holding a mirror up to you - but the guy deserved to be defended and to feel welcome to carry on making interesting posts.

He never celebrated anything either. You’re clutching at straws trying to deflect attention.

His key fact was wrong.

I took the time to research that and point it out - because we don't want bullshit facts on the forum, right? We don't want people believing a load of old crap, right?

Looking these things up takes time and effort.

All you did (all you really do) was butt in with your usual content-free "look at me" clodhopping.

Go and bore someone else instead of derailing yet another thread.
