[jawillwill]

Just checked the stats, and I think we had it last night too. Don't know if anyone will be able to confirm that for me?

The day before they were relegated.

[Kingsland Red]

A few years ago there used to be that league table people posted on here / the previous forum, that showed out of the 92 (?) clubs , Saints had won the least games over the previous 10 years.

With the upturn I would hope we are rising up that particular table.

Isn't many times in the recent past we've had any sort of positive goal difference.

When was the last time we had a +35 goal difference?

1957-58. Goal difference was 40 (112-72) and we finished 6th in Div3 with 76 points (allowing for change from 2 pts for a win to 3 since then) - W22 D10 L14

 

Best ever goal difference was +47 (68-21) when we won the Div 3 South (1921-22)

Added season when we won Div3S

So, in summary, we're better in the lower leagues than the top leagues?

Best we stay where we are then.

Should be able to beat the 1958 record this season then!

Would be fun if we could beat the all-time record of 47

When was the last time we scored 5 goals in 3 games in one season.

 

 

there were many seasons during the late 50's and early 60's (mainly due to Reeves and O'Brien) but I really loved 1963-64...

we scored 5 against ; Bury and Swindon and 6 v. Charlton, Grimsby Derby and Rotherham and 7 against S****horpe

 

1964-65 was good too, 5-2 v.Charlton (h) 6-1 Rotherham (h) again 5-0 Plymouth (h)

 

Promotion season 1965-66 was even better;

5-2 v Preston(h) 5-3 Cardiff (a) 5-1 Bolton (h) 5-2 Portsmouth (a)

but also... 6-2 Bury (h) and 9-3 Wolves (h)

 

but since the first promotion perhaps only--- 30 years ago....

 

1979-80 5-2 v Spurs 5-1 Brighton 5-2 v Bris. City all home games

 

However, one good question is ;

in which match did Saints score 5 goals... and still failed to win ...?

Coventry home in early 80s. 5-5! Great game. I remember Bally making a mistake to give them a two goal lead and then straight from the kick-off he went through and crashed one in the corner. Keith Cassells scored twice I think. And afterwards Danny Wallace was in a rage in the dressing room, throwing his boots about because he thought we'd lost!
