Goal Statistics

Exeter City's defensive record is very strong, M. Taylor's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive League Two outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Shrewsbury Town makes sense in this context.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Exeter City fans, as should a 7 League Two matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
