Goal Statistics

Bolton Wanderers have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 8 consecutive League One matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Northampton Town on Tuesday suggests that run is likely to continue.

A truly awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Northampton Town fans, as should a 8 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
