It's not goals scored - it's goals per match. Teams at the bottom of this list tend not to let in too many goals.

ah, so theres a silver lining to that then.

Yep only QPR and Burnley have let in less than goals than us.

Pintos · Feb 3, 2014

It's all from our away games - we're 16th at home and 24th away.
As TRHK points out, this isn't indicative of being good or bad, just maybe a bit boring to watch.

Bournemouth 3.38
Derby County 3.33
Bolton Wanderers 3.13
Watford 3.08
Millwall 3.08
Yeovil Town 3
Blackburn Rovers 2.86
Leeds United 2.85
Middlesboro 2.73
Blackpool 2.67
Birmingham City 2.54
Leicester City 2.53
Burnley 2.5
Huddersfield T. 2.47
Ipswich Town 2.43
Doncaster Rovers 2.43
Reading 2.4

Sheffield W. 2.14
Queens Park Rangers 1.85

I am not happy. I want to see GOALS. As far as I'm concerned my enjoyment of a game is directly linked to the number of goals. This needs to be urgently improved.

Yep. I really enjoy matches where we lose by 3 or 4 goals.

westy · Feb 3, 2014

Officially boring.

Turkey · Feb 3, 2014

What we really need is a manager who will play attacking football and get it forward a bit quicker... :facepalm:

if we play 2 up top i feel the goals per game would be better if we get the right people out wide

Pintos · Feb 3, 2014

Maybe we should play more attacking football, e.g. 2 strikers through the middle or the inclusion of pacey wingers. Surprised it's not been mentioned.

GingerBeerMan · Feb 3, 2014

I think we should play with a more attacking mindset. We seem too happy to draw and sit back rather than go for a goal. Oscar needs to be informed ASAP that pacey wingers and/or two strikers is the only way forward.

studio150 · Feb 3, 2014

So the 97/98 season when we finished 23rd in the old third division and only missed relegation to the conference due to Doncaster being eben poorer was far more entertaining due to an average 2.26 goals a game although only 6 wins all season.

Trelford Mills Guide Dog · Feb 3, 2014

We were 2nd from bottom on this list last season (despite finishing 4th).

Bristol City and Peterborough were 1st and 3rd - respectively - Didn't do either of them much good.

Go on Mark you can say it, you want the Albion to play 4-4-2.

MattBackHome · Feb 3, 2014

If we had a BRITISH manager who understood our league and played 442 there's no way we would be bottom of the world-famous goals per game table.

I am being lazy, what were Hull like for scoring goals last season? I think they are in the Premiership this season?
