Some interesting stats from the FL site

I like stats, so sorry if you think this is boring!

We have conceded the second most fouls this season but only one red card. Plymouth have 11 reds (presumably Peter Reid effect) and Notts County have 9 (ditto Paul Ince effect). Presumably most of our fouls are "more strategic" rather than outright blatant nasties!

We have 319 shots on target compared to Peterborough at 285 but they have scored lots more goals. Presumably MacKail-Smith accuracy effect.

MacKail-Smith has 25 goals from 61 on-target efforts, Lambert has 18 from 77. I guess our goals are spread about the team a bit more this season but you have to credit MacKail-Smith this year - not bad for an ex-non-league player who only found a league team a couple of years back and is now 27 years old!

Despite our "huge squad" we have used 32 players this season, 13 clubs have used more players so far. Oldham and Carlisle have used 40 each, though I suppose they are more journey man and hopeful free signings.

And Lee Barnard has 6 yellows compared to Rickie Lambert's one yellow! No surprise there at least!
