Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.7 is fairly strong for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their meeting with Shrewsbury Town, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 76 consecutive FA Cup outings.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Shrewsbury Town fans, as should a 6 FA Cup matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
