Goal Statistics

Derby County have been steady in attack of late, finding the net in 22 consecutive Championship games. Their PG of 1.7 against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Sheffield Wednesday fans, as should a 10 Championship matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
