Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Wigan Athletic fans, as should a 10 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Wigan Athletic's defensive record is to be admired, Shaun Maloney's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive League One matches. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Blackpool makes sense in this context.
