With our right back scoring his third goal in three consecutive league matches, I thought that it might be worth looking at the distribution of our goals this season. By my reckoning, so far this season, we have scored 66 goals in competitive matches (not including the goals in the penalty shoot out against Stevenage in the Papa John's Trophy). The following rather supports Matt's claim that we can score a variety of different goals and offer a threat all over the pitch (this doesn't make any allowance for the fact that at times players have scored while playing out of position e.g. Rob when playing in centre-midfield):
Total Goals (66)
Full Backs (Barden, Kizzi, Milsom, Wyatt) – 10
Centre Backs (Goodliffe, John, Rowe) – 6
Wingers (Ajiboye, Korboa, Randall, Boldewijn) – 16
Centre Midfield (Eastmond, Davis, Dundas, Smith, Beautyman) – 9
No ‘9’s (Bugiel, Bennett, Sho Silva) – 8
No ‘10’s (Olaofe, Wilson, Kouassi) – 15
Opposition own goals - 2

They're squad numbers so there is only one of each. I'm not being petty because I realise you mean number 9 is a centre forward but what exactly is a 10? They used to be a second centre forward, a central midfielder or even in the case of John Hurst of Everton (yes - a long time ago) a centre back. |

The key point here of course is that as a team we're not reliant on one or two forwards to score the majority of our goals. Despite not having a prolific marksman (such as Newport's Dominic Telford or Forest Green's Matt Stevens), we're still among the division's highest scoring sides. Most of our regular outfield players have found the net this season, and it's one of the reasons why we've become so hard to beat.
