Goal Statistics

Blackpool have been steady in attack of late, scoring in 10 consecutive League One outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Bristol Rovers on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Bristol Rovers fans, as should a 8 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
