Nobody is arguing about the importance of goals.  Unfortunately your analysis doesn't hold up.... how do you define goals winning games... scoring in a 1-0 is obvoius, scoring the second in a 2-1 similarly, scoring the 4th in a 4-0 less so.

Exactly what I wrote in my post.

I counted points won by the team with each player scoring if they were -

a. the sole scorer in a match

b. they scored a single goal in a game that was decided by a single goal e.g. 3-2 win counted as 1 point ganied and not 3, if they scored 2 goals in a single goal win then that goes down as a defeat.

c. scored a goal in a game drawn.

Any game where they scored and their goal was not either a draw or single goal defeat then is discounted.

Have you checked?
And yes I have checked before you question it again.

I don't get b. esp the bit in bold.

Reg, you can't replace a 20 goal player with 2 x 10 goal players.  You lose the other goals the second player would have on top of the 20 goals striker, so you probably need 3 x 10 goal players to replace 1 x 20 goal player if you now need to spread more goals around.  Therefore - one signing vs.3, as we don;t have any 10 goal players.  Williams was a 20 goalplayer - and it doesn't have to be exactly 20, but in that ball park.  On my post I missed the s - the top team(s).

If they won 3-2 and the player scored two, then it would be a 1-2 defeat without them.

In which case why count goals scored in drawn games? 

In 06/07 we gained auto promotion from Div 4 with 2 10 goal strikers... Peacock and Roberts. In 11/12 we pissed Div 4 with 2 11 goal strikers Connell and Benson. Are you saying it can't be done?

Back to the original thread.

Mansfield away following last night just 286 thats utterly appalling for a 167 mile trip.

I bet even Vegan Rovers will get more tonight at Tranmere a trip of 155 miles each way.

A close run thing, though. FGR took 316.

2 utter dog shite games - especially last night. If these 4 are ‘the best of the rest’ In L2 God help us.

Am I right in thinking that during the season we didn’t lose to any of those 4?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
