Goal droughts

Well, it's all over, and the chart goes out with a bang.

Enda hadn't scored since his great strike v Brighton over 2 years ago, and he took himself off the list in style, with the fourth on Saturday. Well done him.

This means, of course, that Oli McBurnie ends the season top of the chart. Quite fitting really. I am confident that he will have an opportunity to extend his barren run next season at some point as he's too injured to be sold/given away.

Flecky ends with a 30 game barren streak...and little Daniel Jebbison has cobbled together enough garbage time sub appearances (and the odd start) to sneak on this list. I hope he gets chance to leave it. The final scores on the doors:

Oli McBurnie 40 games, last goal v Leicester 2020-21
John Fleck 30 games, last goal v Peterborough 2021-22
Rhys Norrington-Davies 22 games, no league goals
Ben Osborn 22 games, last goal v Barnsley 2021-22
Ollie Burke 15 games, last goal v Man Utd 2020-21
Luke Freeman 15 games, no league goals
Daniel Jebbison 10 games, last goal v Everton 2020-21

FWIW here's the final league goal tally for the outfield squad in descending order, followed by Revolution's highly scientific rating of each player's efforts on the scoring front. Appearances are in brackets.

14 - Sharp (30 + 9 sub) good
11 Gibbs-White (33 + 2) excellent
7 Ndiaye (23+7) very good
5 Berge (22 + 9) very good
3 Bogle (16+2) very good
3 Brewster (10 + 4) decent
3 Mousset (4 +3) good, in terms of on field end product
3 Osborn (21 + 13) decent
3 Robinson (26 + 1) good
2 Egan (46) disappointing
2 McGoldrick (9 + 10) disappointing
1 Baldock (24 + 1) meh, but what a goal it was
1 Davies (21 + 2) ok
1 Fleck (31 + 4) just happy he was there after Reading
1 Hourihane (15 + 14) poor and surprising
1 Norwood (42 + 2) poor and predictable
1 Stevens (21 + 1) meh
0 Basham (24 + 4) poor
0 Burke (2 + 1) meh and predictable
0 Freeman (1 + 3) meh
0 Goode (1 + 1) no disgrace
0 Gordon (4 + 1) no disgrace
0 Guedioura (0 + 1) who hell he?
0 Jebbison (1 + 7) a bit disappointing
0 McBurnie (9 + 19) bloody hell
0 Norrington-Davies (20 + 2) poor
0 Osula (0 + 5) no disgrace
0 Seriki (1 + 0) no disgrace
0 Uremovic (3 + 0) should've buried it

I hope the goal droughts project has brought pleasure to those who have read and/or contributed to the thread. It was of course a personal highlight of the season to read that a number of you thought of the chart when Norwood broke his duck.

Let's hope whatever statistical crap I throw together next season will involve us in the Premier League.

looking on wiki, bash hasn't scored since 2018/2019, so at least 98 games, probably over 100. Does he get a pass, because he's a legend?

1. I don’t do central defenders, as I’ve said multiple times on the thread.
2. I’m not doing it this season.

Revolution updating the thread drought - 5 games

Last season I identified the drought as an enormous problem, and I wanted to see how bad it could get. I’m not convinced it will be such an issue this season. This time last year we had 1 goal, by Sharp. This year we have 9, with goals from all over the place. Things are good.

Plus an update will be seen as trolling of the McBurnie fanboys, won’t it?

If there if a massive clamour for it, I’ll do it…

Start it after McBurnie’s first hatrick
 
Surely tonight signals a fitting sign off for the thread.

One of the main pioneers has finally come good.

I look forward now to the McBurnie inspired "longest scoring runs" thread 😉
