Goal Statistics

Cheltenham Town have been abject at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive League Two matches. This run could continue, with Gillingham's PG an impressive 2.1.

A truly awful PG of just 0.6 should cause concerns for Cheltenham Town fans, as should a 11 League Two matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
