...and the Football League's top scoring team is...

We famously bagged 99 goals during that record breaking season, and this term we have already scored 26, which is more than any other team in all four divisions. At this rate we are on target to achieve another huge haul, but it might be a bit ambitious to hope to better that fantastic total. We also have three players amongst the top 15 scorers in the Championship: Kevin Doyle has 8, with the Hunt Bros. on 4 each. We've hit our stride in a big way, and it's beginning to feel a little like it did back in 2005. Maybe I shouldn't get too carried away. 

It is fantastic to see The Doyler back to his hustling bustling best, he looks a yard faster than early on in the season and clearly full of confidence. His contribution when not scoring has been vital, How could we ever doubt him?! The biggest concern now is what happens in January, but let's make hay while the sun shines as they say.

Absolutely - and what about the stories today about Dave Kiton being unsettled at Stoke.....the grass is not always greener, especially when we swap places with them next year. Noel Hunt is a fine replacement and we've still got the talents of Mooney to look forward to when he is ready. No doubt Lita won't play for the first team again (load deal to be made permanent in Jan?) especially as Coppell's usual squad is to have 4 strikers. Wolves have hit a bad patch with their injuries (it highlights how good our squad is) and Birmingham aren't scoring enough goals at the moment for a sustained challenge...top of the table by the end of October and pussh on from there...come on URZZZ...

Ambitious - yes. I think that's the perfect word. :-) http://www.soccershop.com
