Four players scoring ten (or more) goals doesn't seem that big a deal, but it rarely happens. 

We last did it in 2006-07 - Deon Burton (13), Steve MacLean (13), Marcus Tudgay (11) and Chris Brunt (10). 

Prior to that it was the 90-91 glory season - David Hirst (32), Paul Williams (17), John Sheridan (12) and Nigel Pearson (12). 

And the one before that, 85-86 - Lee Chapman (15), Brian Marwood (15), Carl Shutt (13) and Mel Sterland (11). 

So, as you can see, it is that big a deal. 

For this thread I take the very simplistic calculation of goals scored in the number of games we've had so far and assume that the players will score at the same ratio in the remaining games. 
 

The quest begins again.

We have five players on two goals from the ten games played so far. We at least another 41 games to come that means that they are all on course to hit another eight and therefore on course for the milestone.

It seems unlikely that McNeill and Paterson will get sufficient opportunity to get there, but the remaining three of the quintet, Lowe, Windass and Bannan will be expected to feature regularly.

it would be a surprising total were Bannan to make it, but you would expect both Lowe and Windass to hope they’d be contenders.

Single scorers Ugbo, Smith and Musaba (currently on course for another four) will be expected to feature in the goals column more regularly. 

Our other single scorers, Valentin and Bernard won’t be in the mix for this.

Has O.G., currently equal top scorer, ever made it to double figures?

I’d forgotten we also have O.G. as the joint top scorer.

Five goals in the last five games. Two for Gassama, and one each for Charles, Windass and Smith.

Windass is leading the way with three goals and is on course (just) to get to the milestone.

We now have six players, Lowe, Smith, McNeill, Paterson, Bannan and Gassama, on two. They have a projected end of season tally of six.

Our five single scorers are on course to end the season on three.

Five goals in our last four games, from five individual players.

Windass moves onto four, and a projected end of season tally of 10.

Smith is now on three, which means he should end the season on eight.

Valentin and Bernard join Lowe, McNeil, Paterson, Bannan and Gassama on two, and therefore should finish the season on five.

Iorfa notched his first of the season, and along with our other single scorers should get another two.

Windass will do it, injuries permitting.

1) If Smith had been on the pitch, the penalty would have been his, so the figures would be the other way round.

2) Smith shows how to finish with ease, when played to him properly, he really is a goal scorer when played to his strengths.

 

3) Hopefully the pair of them try and outdo each other and score 10+, then someone else is better and doubles it.

Five goals in the last three games, two for Smith, and one a piece for Windass, Bannan and Lowe.

Smith and Windass are now on five, and on course to finish the season on 11.

Bannan and Lowe now have three and should get another four before the season ends.

Our quintet on two goals should get the same again, likewise our single scorers.

Windass moves onto seven with an end of season projection of 14. 
Smith with five is also on target to hit the milestone with another five.

Lowe now has four and is on course for a final tally of eight.

Gassama and Paterson join Bannan on three and should get the same again.

Whilst your 4 to double figures looks unlikely now cheat I think we might be close this season with at maybe 3. But wouldn't rule it out entirely.

I’m beginning to think that the possibility of it is a thing of the past, unless you are one of the top Premier League teams.

I’ve just had a quick look at both of the despised United’s (purely because they are the top two in our division) and both only have three players on course to hit it at the moment.

Well done Windass. Goals in the three games since the last update see him hit the target, with an end of season projection of 18.

There were eight goals in total in those three games, with Inglesson, Valery, Bannan, Gassama, and Musaba grabbing the others.

Smith is still second in the goal scoring charts on five, and now is set the miss the target by one.

Bannan and Gassama join Lowe on four, and are expected to get another three.
