Statistics Goal droughts - 2025/26 edition

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Couldn't bring myself to update over the weekend, but here for the record is the goal drought tally going into the Third Wilder Dynasty.



Who if anyone is going to wipe their name off this list on Saturday?

To ask a question, and I acknowledge playoffs aren't league games, why are we only counting league games / goals scored in league games?

We've only scored one goal in cup competitions in the last year!

I fail to see why O'Hare's playoff goals don't count.

Ask Revolution

I can see where Panini is coming from. I get that the Goal Drought update is based on League games only, but why shouldnt it include all competitive fixtures?

I'd imagine when Peck finally breaks his duck, we'll be on the pitch?

Tradition or an old charter or something

I completely agree. I can see why we might exclude a goal against League Two opposition in the first round of the League Cup when both sides are playing their reserves.

However, a play off goal is surely worth every bit (or more) than a league goal, and it's very harsh to say that the player is in a 'drought' if they bagged two at that stage.
