Can't really see anyone doing it again in the forseeable future. Either strikers are rubbish or somebody else buys em.

[Florida Rover]

o2g you are the winner and got the bonus.well done

[OJRovers]

Out of interest - who is our top goalscorer still on the books?

McCarthy has 46 according to Wikipedia, maybe 47 after saturday

Derbs has 18, if he stays with us for the rest of his career and starts regularly he could get to 100

Roque probably has around 30?

Suprised to see The Axe with that many appearances!

Derbyshire is our best bet if he stays with us.

[Exiled in Toronto]

What a set of interesting stats.

Actually, I'm surprised to see so many players with so many appearances; this team is in danger of turning into a new version of Saxton's team that turned out for a decade.

Also, Roberts one goal ever 5 games for a striker is pathetic - no other word for it. And I wouldn't back MGP to score another 30 goals if he could play for the next 100 years

[Hughesy]

Benni mcCarthy 115 apps 46 goals - Ave = 2.5 games per goal

RSC 70 apps 29 goals - Ave = 2.41 games per goal

Jason Roberts 85 apps 17 goals - Ave = 5 games per goal

Derbyshire 86 apps 20 goals - Ave = 4.3 games per goal

Samba 92 apps 8 goals - NOT A BAD STAT FOR Samba from Defence!!

Someone told me that Sky reported the other day that the most Roberts has scored in a premiership season is 8 at any of his clubs. Can the stat masters confirm because it backs up Roberts' strike rate if true

[bob fleming]

I was surprised to see he had scored that many goals!

[Ozz]

It's an almost Batty-esque return. I saw all of his goals for Rovers and have seen all of the Axes too.

[only2garners]

Presumably the table includes sub appearances. If so it will significantly skew the record for anyone who regularly comes off the bench.

Does it include reserve team football too?
