Goal-scorer watch

[muirinho]

As Liam Moore scored today, it occurred to me that quite a number of our outfield players have scored so far even though we are only half way through the season. So in honour of the 106 team's efforts to get Murty on the scoresheet via a penalty I thought it would be worth looking at who should be practising their penalties coming towards the end of the season.

Including players with at least one League start, we have:

• Chris Gunter............1
  
• Joey Van Den Berg.0
• Paul McShane.........2
• George Evans..........2
• Roy Beerens............4
• John Swift................3
  
• Deniss Rakels.........0
  
• Jordan Obita...........0
• Garath McCleary.....7
• Dominic Samuel......2
  
• Callum Harriott.......0
• Liam Moore..............1
• Yann Kermorgant....4
  
• Stephen Quinn........0
• Danny Williams.........3
  
• Tyler Blackett...........0
  
• Liam Kelly.................0

Van den Berg scored against Brighton if memory serves me correct?!

[arthurfondrelli]

Believe VDB scored against Plymouth

[muirinho]

Van den Berg scored against Brighton if memory serves me correct?!

No, Swift and McShane in the league game.
VDB did get one in an early round of the league cup, but I wasn't including cup games as you get more fringe players involved

[CavershamRoyal]

Van den Berg scored against Brighton if memory serves me correct?!

He did indeed... albeit at the wrong end.

[Sutekh]

Van den Berg scored against Brighton if memory serves me correct?!

He did indeed... albeit at the wrong end.

Thought Harriott managed one in the league or was that the League Cup as well?

Technically I think Kelly scored yesterday but the lino missed it crossing the line.

[maffff]

So going with our most common team

Ali,
Gunts, Moore, McShane, Obita,
Williams, vdB*, Swift,
GMac, Beerens,
Kermorgant

(feels harsh not putting Evans* in as he's featured in... Every? game)

Goals are
0
1/1/2/0
3, 0(*2), 3
7, 4
4

Gosls are stacking up nicely across the spread of the team.

[maffff]

With our strikers (Kermorgant / Samuel) accounting for just over one in five goals scored.

It certainly has left us in a position that even lacking players like Swift, Williams and Kermorgant we have still chugged along nicely, I look at Brighton and wonder how they might manage if they lost Murray or Knockaert? They might have strength in depth, it's hard to say as it seems they've been quite fortunate with injuries.

Pretty sure all his goals were in the cup.

Meite will no doubt be added to our list of scorers soon. Been unfortunate to have one called offside and another given as an own goal.

Rakels and VDB will surely bag at least one each before the end of the season. Time to get Obita and Blackett taking penalties - can't be any worse at them than anyone else!

Obita is actually a pretty good penalty taker. Scored a very good one in the shootout with MK Dons.

Plus usually has good penalty taking stats on FM

Came here to say this, I think on the current FM he's our best.....

Loanees added in? Beerens is listed at 6 and Swift at 7 by Transfr markert

[Ian Royal]

I'd say get them on penalty duty, but probably better to ask them to follow up for rebounds.

I'd say JVDB is more likely to give away a penalty than score one.
