Goal Statistics

Grimsby Town have been reliable in front of goal of late, finding the net in 6 consecutive League Two outings. Their PG of 1.8 against Northampton Town on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Northampton Town fans, as should a 7 League Two games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
