Goalscorers into double figures - 2022/23


cheat

Recommended Posts


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. 
 

For the first time since I started this quest on OO, in Gregory, Windass, Smith and Wilks we have four players who seem well capable of reaching the milestone.

Dele-Bashiru leads the way with three goals after eight games, with at least another 45 games to come he’s on course for a final season tally of 20.

Windass, Adeniran and Palmer all have two goals, giving them a projected 13.

Our single scorers, Johnson, Bakinson, Byers, Bannan, Brown and Gregory should end the season on seven.

Six goals in the last four games - three for Smith, two for Byers, one for Windass. It puts them all level with Dele-Bashiru as our leading scorers on three.

With 12 league and cup games played so far, and at least 41 to come, they have an end of season projected total of 13. 

Adeniran and Palmer on two are on for another seven, whilst our single scorers (Johnson, Brown, Bannan, Bakinson and Gregory) should end the season on four.

Where did you get 3 goals for Smith from, he has only scored 2 all season

There have been ten goals in the five games since the last update, with nine of them coming from Wednesday players.

Paterson and Bannan got two each with Wilks, Vaulks, Palmer, Windass and Dele-Bashiru getting the others.

Windass and Dele-Bashiru are our leading goalscorers on four each. With those having come from our 17 league and cup games so far, they should get another eight from our minimum remaining 36.

Bannan, Palmer, Byers and Smith all have three goals, with a projected end of season tally of nine.

Paterson and Adeniran have two to their names and are expected to get a further four, whilst our single scorers should end the season with three.

There have been five goals in the last three games. Three have come from Gregory putting him alongside Windass and Dele-Bashiru as joint lead scorers on four goals. It means that they are all on course to hit the milestone with an expected end of season tally of 11. 
 

Paterson’s goal in the Papa Johns dead rubber moves him onto three for the season and a projected tally of eight, along with our other three goal scorers, Bannan, Palmer, Byers, and Smith.

The other goal was from debutant Trueman, again in the Papa Johns game, and you would assume that’ll be his only goal of the season, but the equation used for this gives him an expected total of three along with all our other single goalscorers. 
 

Adeniran on two, should end up with five.

Five goals in the last two games. Smith got two of them to move him onto five for the season, Bannan, Wilks, and Dele-Bashiru got the others. Dele-Bashiru joins Smith on five as joint leading scorer, and the pair of them are on course to finish the campaign on 12.

Also on course for double figures are Bannan, Gregory and Windass who should end the season on 10.

So, we actually have five players currently on course, which I don’t think has happened since I first started this quest several seasons ago.

Patterson, Palmer and Byers are projected to finish on seven, Wilks and Adeniran on five, and our single scorers on two.

Five goals in the last four games; two each for Windass and Mighten, and a first Wednesday goal for McGuinness. 
 

Windass is now the leading scorer on six and is projected to end the season on 12.

With five to their name so far Smith and Dele-Bashiru are also on course to reach double figures as they are expected to end the season on 11.

They are the only players on target for double figures, as Bannan and Gregory are on course for eight, Patterson, Palmer and Byers six, Wilks, Adeniran and Mighten four, and our single scorers two.

Five goals since the last update but, as our goal scoring rate slowed down, it took us five games to get them.

Smith’s double in the cup win over Mansfield moved him onto seven and our leading scorer. With 31 games gone, and at least 24 to go he’s on course to get another five to finish the season on 12.

Despite not adding to his total Windass is still also on course for double figures with an end of season projection of 11.

Dele-Bashiru remains on five, and is now just shy of hitting the target as he should notch another four. 
 

Paterson and Byers scored in this five game spell moving the pair of them onto four (alongside Bannan and Gregory) and an expected end of season total of seven.

Palmer’s three see him on course for five. 
 

Johnson’s strike today v Fleetwood was his second of the season, and he, Wilks, Adeniran and Mighten are on course to finish up the season with four.

Only single goalscorers should double their tally.

Congratulations Michael Smith. One down, three to go. His double v Port Vale and today’s penalty v Cambridge moves him onto double figures. It gives him an end of season projection of 17.

Windass’ hat-trick puts him on the brink, with nine to his name, and on course to finish the season on 15. 
 

Palmer is the other scorer since the last update and moves him onto four for the season. Along with fellow four goal scorers, Paterson, Bannan, Gregory and Byers, he has an unlikely end of season expected tally of seven.

Dele-Bashiru’s been stuck on five for a while, and should now end the season on eight.

If Byers stays fit and plays the majority of games for the rest of the season I could see him getting close to 10. He’s handy in the air and can hit a shot. 
The situation with Gregory is one I can’t decide if he could make it, he should if he can stay fit and gets enough opportunities.

Five Wednesday goals (plus an own goal) since the last update, but it took us six games to get them.

It was five different scorers too, Vaulks, Johnson, Paterson, Smith and Byers.

Smith’s takes him to 12 and an end of season projected 17. Windass, one behind him on 11 is also expected to finish the season one behind on 16.

There’s quite a gap following those two with  Byers, Dele-Bashiru and Paterson on five. They can expect to bag another two in the remaining 17 games.

Bannan and Gregory on four should also grab another two.

So, it’s looking unlikely this will be the season we get four over the line. Although as Tank said Byers can’t be ruled out - although five in 17 is asking a lot for a midfielder. Gregory could still make it, Windass’ five in two games shows how quickly a scoring burst from a striker can move things on.

Eight goals in our last two games. Three for Windass and two for Smith puts them joint top as leading scorers on 14, and gives them an end of season projection of 19. Byers moves onto six and should get another two, with Bannan and Gregory now on five (alongside Dele-Bashiru and Paterson), and also expected to get another two.

His best position is where he is playing now. Not in a midfield three, or wide midfield. He’s good at getting down the side of teams. It’s up to Lee Gregory and Malik Wilkes to shift him and Smith.

Gregory makes it to double figures with his goal v Exeter. Three down, one to go.

Any chance of a fourth? Paterson and Bannan are both on seven, end of season projection (whether the season is another two, four, or five games) shows them staying on seven, so looks like another season where we don’t get there.

If we do go into the playoffs (or should I say when) will anygoals Pato score count for the 10 in a season?. The way he’s come backI wouldn’t bet against him scoring 3.

They certainly will.

He could do, but three in five is a tall order.
