Goal Statistics

Lincoln City have been reliable in front of goal of late, scoring in 14 consecutive League One matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Northampton Town on Tuesday suggests that run is likely to continue.

An absolutely dreadful 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.
