Crazy Stat Time!

[Corky]

Is this our lowest home points total (obviously adjusted when it moved to 3 points a win)? 15 this season.

200 goals in 500 games -  beautiful round numbers. And the last man to score that many for the club reached a landmark in similarly striking fashion.

 

On October 22nd 1955, Arthur Rowley needed one more to reach a career total of 200 League goals.  We were at Fulham that day - the club we signed him from. 

 

His elder brother Jack was on exactly the same number - 199 - as his Plymouth Argyle side headed for Barnsley. Most of Jack's goals had come during his time at Manchester United. Could the two of them possibly reach the landmark on the same day? 

 

In the 53rd minute at Craven Cottage, Willie Gardiner flicked on a header and Arthur latched on to it to fire home 'a magnificent left foot drive' for goal number 200. Just twelve minutes later, Jack scored for Argyle at Oakwell and it was a double celebration.

Jordan Ayew is older than combined age of PSG starting 11 tonight.

But Daka, for example, arrived for more than £20m and yet has not started more than six league games in a row during four seasons at the club.

87th minute. 

 

Same goal time that we had for our winner today as we did against Cov on opening day of the season in 23/24.

Monga - youngest goal scorer in the Championship, beating Jude Bellingham by about 20 days!

The quality of possession and passing may play a key part in emerging as victors in this fixture, and Leicester can safely know that among the 103 players in the Championship this season to have attempted 100+ passes, no player holds a better pass accuracy rate than Leicester’s Harry Winks (96.3%), while teammate Boubakary Soumaré ranks second (93.4%).

[StanSP]

Soumare's are little 5 yard passes to Jannik or Okoli or to Winks

 

At least Winks tries to break through the lines and gets the ball forward.

When football resumes after the international break, City will play their first competitive game against Oxford United in more than 31 years.

Just had a quick look on Squawka, Winks does play more forward passes, but also more sideways passes than Soumaré. 

Winks has more touches and is much more forward thinking than under Maresca, whereas it's clear that Soumaré is playing Ndidi's old role under Cifuentes.

The run continues... 

 

Now 4 draws in a row for the first time since the 2004-05 season, when there was a 6 draw run

We sacked Adams after the first one, and Levein was appointed just before the last one, leaving the amazing Dave Basset managing the other 4

 

Trevor Benjamin playing up front, our striking options are not much better now

6 draws on the trot in the league is an LCFC record… 

 

Only 3 to go!

This is now the fourth game in a row where a player has scored their first goal of the season/for their new club against us.

What's slightly depressing is I opened this thread at the 'last unread' section and it took me to page 31 summer 2016 - all the stats were of how we won the Premier League and now we're stuck with... this!

Leicester have lost nine home league games in 2025 – only twice before have they lost more: 10 in both 1914 and 2007.

Watford makes 10

 

Will Derby be 11?
