Coconut 6,277 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Despite this we seem in the PL at least to have seen an increased number of games with ridiculous scorelines so you'd probably have assumed there had been more goals all round, not fewer. Link to post Share on other sites
JfR 3,090 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I had a look at the Goals per Season for Championship seasons on this website here:https://www.worldfootball.net/stats/eng-championship/1/ That list puts this season's Goals per Game at 119th out of 119 Second Division seasons. Unless you hate goals, this is officially the most boring Second Division season since it started in 1892.

A lot of the PL billed “big games” have been low scoring borefests, but yeah given some of the crazy scorelines I thought it’d have been more. Link to post Share on other sites

DCFC1388 2,856 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The most obvious factor is fans, lack of goals and home advantage really has shown how important fans are. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you hate goals, this is officially the most boring Second Division season since it started in 1892. Maybe it's just us, but it seems like there are a lot less comebacks this season, which would mean less goals. Crowds play a big part in comebacks I think, spurring the team on and creating pressure on the team in the lead. Many of our wins have been holding onto narrow leads without much danger, likewise going behind and not getting back into games. Perhaps when a team takes the lead through a mixture of better tactics and higher performance level, it's harder to turn that around without the crowd factor? Or perhaps it's just us!

Millenniumram 12,980 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 One thing I have noticed this season is that a back three is back in vogue - with an all new obsession from some managers to play 2 CDM’s in front of them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a negative system before, and perhaps the emergence of that is contributing to boring games. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and Angry Ram 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LeedsRam1999 452 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It has to be a combination of things. 1. Two seasons so close together causing fixture congestion and a lack of summer break. Players are more tired, maybe causing managers to set up defensively? 2. As mentioned above, lack of fans. The football has less energy and drive so less goals. 3. In the premier league, I guess you could say VAR is a factor. And for us, who knows, just generally being useless at creating chances and finding the back of the net?

SouthStandDan 1,728 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Reiterates the key point, football's nothing without fans in the stadiums. Football across the divisions has been utter drivel. This season has been horrible to watch. Teams go 2 up and sit back in. No quality, lack of urgency from all the teams. Boooooooo. Angry Ram 1 Link to post Share on other sites
