...stats/facts from this season so far, for those who are interested.
- 12 of Cardiff's 47 goals (league and cup) this season have come after the 80th minute, more than any other 10 minute period of the game.
- And we've also only conceded 2 goals after the 80th minute. (Bristol away and Hull home)
- David Marshall and Peter Whittingham are the only players to have played in every minute of every league game.
- Heidar Helguson is the only player to have appeared in all 25 league/cup games.
- Helguson is our top scorer so far with 8 goals, BUT...
- In terms of goal per minute they've played, Aron Gunnarsson is leading the way. Here is the top five:
1. Aron Gunnarsson (6 goals, 1 every 228 mins)
2. Heidar Helguson (8 goals, 1 every 250 mins)
3. Craig Bellamy (4 goals, 1 every 270 mins)
4. Joe Mason (4 goals, 1 every 284 mins)
5. Craig Noone (5 goals, 1 every 299 mins)
Interesting to see that Whitts is not in the above list, with his 7 goals having come every 332 mins.
- Cardiff have scored a league goal, on average, every 50.46 minutes this season.
- In terms of minutes it takes CARDIFF, AS A TEAM to score whilst each player is on the pitch, Rudy Gestede is leading the way. I left Nicky Maynard out since he played such a small number of games, but otherwise he would have been top.
Here is the top 5.
1. Rudy Gestede (every 38 mins)
2. Joe Mason (every 40 mins)
3. Craig Noone (every 47 mins)
- Cardiff have conceded a league goal on average, every 80.03 minutes this season.
- In terms of the minutes it takes CARDIFF, AS A TEAM to concede whilst each player is on the pitch, Kim Bo-Kyung is leading the way BY FAR, in fact we've only conceded 4 goals whilst he has been on the pitch.
Again, i left Maynard out and he would have been 3rd.
Here is the top 5.
1. Kim Bo-Kyung (the team concedes every 193 mins)
2. Jordon mutch (every 131 mins)
3. Aron Gunnarsson (every 98 mins)
- Don Cowie is the only first team squad member who, when he is on the pitch, Cardiff concede more often than they score.
All these we're taken before the Millwall game, which i'm just setting off now for, let's hope all these stats are going in a positive direction after the game today, i'm going for a 4-0 win with Bellamy scoring first.
