After a wonderful season here are some interesting points about the season we finished as Champions
Over on the form “Ludlow Richard” has provided some really interesting stats…
This is a summary of the key stats, split into new FFC records/milestones and notable achievements, focussed solely on the team rather than individuals.
NEW FFC RECORDS
1) Most away goals scored in a season (50), beating the 44 scored in 1957/58
2) Highest ever average Goals per Game (away) at 2.17, beating the 2.09 from 1957/58
3) Highest aggregate score to nil against one club in a season (9-0 v Blackburn)
4) Our best ever Goal Difference (+63, beating the 2000/01 team’s +58)
5) First time we have ever scored 50 league goals both home and away in a season
6) First time we have won 7-0 three times in a season
7) First time we have won 7-0 away twice in a season
8) A new landmark for FFC of 23 unanswered league goals (3 v QPR, followed by 2 v Cardiff, 4 v Forest, 3 v WBA, 7 v Blackburn, 1 v Peterborough and 3 v Barnsley)
9) First time we have scored 6 or more in three consecutive league games
10) Highest number of 3-0 wins in a season (4), beating our previous record of 3
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
1) First team since Spurs in 1960/61 to score 50 league goals both home and away in a season
2) First team since Liverpool in 1895/96 to score 7 goals twice away in a season
3) First team since Chester in 1933/34 to score 6 or more in three consecutive league games
4) Most goals at home since 1958/59
5) Highest average Goals per Game (home) since 1957/58
6) Second highest FFC goals scored in a season (106) after the 111 scored in 1931/32
7) With 13 away wins, just fell short of matching our previous best ever number of away wins in a season (14 in 2000/01)
8) The third time we have scored 100+ league goals in a season, with the last time being in 1931/32
9) Beaten both Cardiff and Swansea home and away in the same season for the first time
10) We have been top of the league for 171 out of the 275 days in the 2021/22 season (62% of the season) and have been top from 15 January. While very notable, it doesn’t come close to the Tigana season when we were top for 243 of the 268 days in the 2000/01 season (just over 90% of the season). The only other teams to be top of the Championship this season have been Bournemouth, WBA and Hull
11) Goals have been scored this season by 16 different scorers. That has only been bettered twice in our history: in 1997/98 when we had 18 different scorers; and in 1998/99 when we had an incredible 22 different scorers
12) FFC’s total of 106 goals in the 2nd tier of English football ranks as the 9th highest total since the 2nd tier started in 1892/93. But it’s only the second time 100 goals have been scored by any 2nd tier team since 1964/65 (Man City’s 108 goals in 2001/02). It is, however the first time 100+ goals have been scored by any team in the League Championship since it was introduced in the 2004/05 season.
