Championship Goals Record (1 Viewer)

DT-R · Oct 5, 2025

So, im comparing the 3 highest Championship goal tallies, all over 100+. All 3 teams obviously went up in their respective season as champions also.

Bolton with 100 in 1996/97 season

Fulham with 106 in 2021/22 season

Man City with 108 in 2001/02 season.

Whilst I dont think we've got a Mitrovic type/42 goal scorer, we have got goals going in from all over the pitch. I've looked at all 3 after 9 rounds. They are as follows:

Bolton 22:12
Fulham 19:8
Man City 24:16

Us, 27:7. So, not only are we outscoring the 3 highest so far, we're also out defending them, too.

More for my own enjoyment and interests, really, I'm going to update monthly on the 3 teams mentioned, and I'm also going to add Leeds and Burnley in from last season.

I will compare where they were at the end of each month/game round, to see what we need to do in that month to keep pace with them. If we can keep pace with Leeds from last year and 3 Champions with the highest goal records, then we should be looking good.

As of October 31st (our next 4 games and ending this month) will be the end of round 13. I will look at what we need in terms of goals and points to be in line with those teams at the same point of their respective season.

Granted, every season is different, and some seasons, 80 points, have won a title, and others, 80 points wouldn't get you in the play-offs. So it's all relative. But just as a guide. If we can try and keep up with the 3 most prolific scoring goals teams and 2, 100-point teams, we are heading in the right direction.

You dont have to look or like or interact. Like I say, im doing it more for my own interests. And if you youre interested, it's here. If not, scroll on.

So the next 4 games take us to round 13. I'll list the 5 teams on Points, GF:GA, and league position.

I will list them in order of lowest scorers first, to highest points last.

Bolton
Fulham
Man City
Burnley
Leeds

I will then discuss what we need to do in our next group of games, points and goals wise, and what results we are likely to need to keep the pace with the pace setters.

So after 13 games, in each respective season, each team looked like this:

Bolton: Points 30, - 28:14. 1st

Fulham: Points 26, - 29:14. 2nd

Many City. Points 23, - 32:24. 6th

Burnley. Points 23, - 17:6. 4th

Leeds. Points 26, - 22:8. 2nd

Average points tally of 25.6 points. Median of 26.
Average GF also 25.6
Average GA is 13.2

So to be average amongst the group, 7 points from the next 4 games will keep us there or there abouts with these teams. 2 wins, 1 draw from 4 games.

In terms of GF, we're already well above the average with 4 games still to play.As longg as we dont concede more than 6 goals in the next 4 games, we should be well below the average for GA as welll.

In terms of being above average, to keep up with Boltons points, tally, we need 11 points from a possible 12. So, 4 wins from 4. Not as doable, but this certainly would see us way above average.

So with a game still to play, we're ahead on points on all bar Bolton who had 30 points after 13 games (we've still got 3 points available) and ahead of everyone on GF, with Man City being the highest on 32, were already on 34 with another game to go. Looking good so far against this.

Will update on Saturday/Sunday with next month's games taking us up to round 18.

So round 13 done.
We arent the highest points tally from all the above clubs, with Bolton being on 30 whilst we're 2 points short on 28. But we are above everyone else and above the average of 25.6 points.

Elsewhere, we are the highest scorers on 36 with City in 2001/02 being closest with 32 goals scored. And way above the average of 25.6.

GA we're actually above all 3 of the scoring record teams, but way behind on the 2, 100point teams from last season. Though still under the average of 13.6 with 12 goals conceded.

October done, now to November and the 5 games taking us up to round 18.

Round 18 next then! Let's see where everyone else was at that point, what points they had, what GD they had, and what likely outcome we are likely to need to keep pace again with them.

Bolton: Pts 38, 38:23. 1st

Fulham: Pts 41, 48:15. 1st

Man City: Pts 33, 45:28. 3rd

Burnley: Pts 38, 23:6. 2nd

Leeds: Pts 35, 31:13. 3rd

Average points total of 37.
Average goals for of 37.
Average goals against of 17.

So to be above Fulhams points total of 41 we need to be looking at 13points from a possible 15 available. 4 wins and 1 draw with no losses!
To keep up with the average of 37 we need 9 points. 3 wins 2 losses? Or 2 wins and 3 draws?

For goals for, to be top of the pile we need 48 goals. So 12 more than we currently have.
We're already on 36 so the average of 37 is achievable.... Just about

Though I think 4 wins and 1 draw is a very tough ask, especially considering the teams we're facing, I do think to keep up with average points total is very achievable. 2 wins and 3 draws. Let's smash it! If we can end the round with 37 points, when considering Burnley and Leeds had 38 and 35 at the same stage last season and both went on to 100points, is a very, very good return! And achievable.

With 2 games left to play in the block, we're 5 goals and 4 points short of Fulhams total who were highest points and scorers after round 18.

We're already ahead of Leeds and City's points and only 1 point off the other 2.

Only City and Fulham can better our goals for by round 18 end.

Looking very good.

It’s over-familiar. We're not Birmingham fans. What about all the other Blues?

We're not United either but I hate it when people refer to Manchester United as that too. What about all the other Uniteds?!

I'm perfectly happy to be in a minority of 1 on this issue.

Is it? It’s shorter and easier to say Blues than Birmingham. It’s also their nickname whereas I’m not aware of any others using ‘blues’ in the EFL.

I can. Tottenham Hotspur ‘Spurs’, WBA ‘Baggies’, Aston Villa ‘Villa’ as well as calling Birmingham ‘Blues’. It’s not over familiarity but when typing or speaking, it’s easier.

Villa and Spurs are literally the only teams known by those names so I will accept those.

Chelsea are Blues. Villa and Spurs are shortened versions of their full names and the only teams known by those shortened terms.

WBA - Baggies, too familiar. Vomit inducing.

Lacking originality.

DT-R · Nov 25, 2025

Just 1 point and 1 goal to be level with Fulhams points and goals. And id say of the block, Charlton at home certainly looked the easiest fixture of the month on paper.
A 2-0 win to be 2 points higher and 1 goal higher than the best would be phenomenal. It would also be another 9 point 3 game week.

We usually do better in the second half of the season at that rate that 108 is a bit low.

Well well well! Who'd of thought it possible? We're 2 points better off than Fulhams best and 2 goals better too! Fantastic! And 50 goals up with less half the season played. Another 58 goals to beat Man City's record. Thats 2.2 goals per game.

Anyway, on to the month of December and the round of 24. Ill have a look at numbers tomorrow, but im going to add a new team too. This started as a goals record thread, comparing us to the 3 highest scoring season records. I soon added Leeds and Burnley from last season as a barometer for promotion chamces. But the way its going, who says we cant beat Readings 2005/06 Championship record 106 point season? So i will be adding them in to the mix too. They were, after all, at Round 18 on 41 points with 30:10

"No side at this stage of the campaign has scored 50 goals since Sheffield Wednesday in 1958-59 and Middlesbrough's second-tier record of 122 goals almost a century ago could also be under threat"

I think calling Man City “City” if you are a fan of them is entirely correct - it’s always been City or United up there.

Calling them the Sky Blues can fuck right off though. They ain’t having that.

Just wondering? Do you react when commentators refer to Man City as Sky Blues. It happens occasionally. That makes my blood boil.

Edit: Ha, didn’t scroll down the list before posting…..Hope that’s not wound anyone up?

More than you could ever possibly imagine, my friend!

DT-R · Dec 4, 2025

A little later than promised, but on to the round of 24. See out December. Get to Xmas and see how we're looking.

As i mentioned before, I started as a goals thread as we were/are scoring for fun so thought id compare goals records. However, i think we're now (possibly) in the realms of comparing points record teams too. Obviously Fulham in 2021/22 finished on 106 points (even after losing to us twice that season) and im adding Readings 2005/08 108 point record season.

Anyway, on the the stats:

Bolton: 43pts, 48:34. 2nd

Fulham: 48pts, 57:21. 1st

Man City: 45pts, 55:34. 2nd

Leeds: 51pts, 44:15. 1st

Burnley: 48pts, 30:9. 3rd

Reading: 59pts, 48:12. 1st.

So a best points of 59pts meaning we would need 16 points from a possible 18. 5 wins and 1 draw. Not so likely I'd have to say.
An average points total of 58.8. So the same for average points too!

Adding Reading in really makes that difference.

If we take Reading out, we have a highest points tally of 51 from last seasons Leeds. That would be 8 points from a possible 18. 2wins, 2 draws, 2 losses. Or 3 wins and 3 losses would return us a better haul of 9pts.
The average is also then 47. Meaning we'd only need 1 win and 1 draw to remain in touch with the pack.

In terms of goals scored, Man City are the highest scorers with 55.
So another 5 goals to keep up, 6 to better them. 1 goal per game.

In terms of goals, I dont have much worries. Id be surprisednif we couldnt score 6+ in 6 games. Also average points i think we'll be fine. But to keep pace with Reading and pick up 16 points, especially with the teams we've got ahead of us this month, might be a stretch. However, if we're closer to Reading than we are Man City's or Burnleys points by the end of this round, then they might aswell start etching our name on that trophy and getting the sky blue ribbon tied to the handles.
