True. But look at the top scorers for those teams in 3rd and 4th place last season:

Leeds: Piroe - 19, James - 12

Burnley: Brownhill - 18, Zemming - 12

Sheff Utd; Campbell - 10, Cannon - 10

Sunderland; Isidor - 12, Mayenda - 8

Genuinely shocked no one got 20+ (at least from those top four sides).

They must have really shared the goals around considering Leeds and Burnley got 100 points.

I think a lot of Burnley's success was due to only conceding 16 Goals all season - that is mad!
 
So as mentioned in the match day thread, I had looked into our 3 strikers(not included Downs) time at Saints, specifically their actual minutes played and their goals scored.

This data is taken from Transfermarkt and includes all league, FA cup and EFL cup matches. Minutes played only count the 90 regulation minutes and do not include any additional time.

Prior to tonight it looked as follows:

1st Place: Adam Armstrong 9649 mins/34 goals. Has played equivalent of 107.211 matches = a goal every 3.153 matches.

2nd place: Cameron Archer 2131 mins/7 goals. Has played equivalent of 23.677 matches = a goal every 3.382 matches.

3rd place: Ross Stewart 765 mins/1 goals. Has played equivalent of 7.388 matches = a goal every 7.388 matches.

Now it looks like this:

1st place: Ross Stewart 750 mins/3 goals. Has played equivalent of 8.333 matches = a goal every 2.777 matches.

2nd place: Adam Armstrong 9724mins/34 goals. Has played equivalent of 108.044 matches = a goal every 3.177 matches.

3rd place: Cameron Archer 2136 mins/7 goals. Has played equivalent of 23.733 matches = a goal every 3.390 matches.

I was going to post something yesterday regarding this and I was going to say because Stewart has played so little minutes, when he does score goals his goals per match will have a greater increase than the other 2, especially Armstrong who is close to 10000 minutes for us.

Stewart has now jumped to our most prolific striker in a mere 85 minutes spell, glorious!! So happy for him, long may it continue!!

Think Stewart now should be 850 mins instead of 750 (was at 765 before) so a goal every 3.148 matches which still keeps him just about ahead of Armstrong.

Thanks for highlighting the error Jack, appreciate it. I have double checked and the mistake is actually the minutes played prior to yesterday's match! I have corrected it on the original post as it should have read 665 mins.

I would like to say I did that deliberately to see if anyone was paying attention but no, that was a complete cock up on my part.

His goals stay at 1 goal every 2.777 matches(edited again as I worded it completely wrong!).

It is amazing that this is third season and he has barely managed to play 7 games.

Yeah it is, he has featured 26 times for us and this totals 8.33 matches. And when you factor in the minutes played in games, it's obvious a player isn't likely to contribute much if at all!

His first season he managed, 7, 10 and 7 minutes in the league with a further 18 mins in the playoffs semi first leg.

Last season he fared a little better featuring for at least 30 mins in 6 matches. The most minutes played was against Arsenal in the final game where he managed 70 minutes and surprise surprise scored a goal.

To be fair to the coaches during his time, but nobody can accuse anyone of rushing him back, he has been treated with care, but now is his time, he's got that spring in his step and knows where the goal is, he always just needed consistent minutes.

He's gonna be a huge player for us this season, fingers crossed his injury demons are behind him, his confidence is growing and I don't see why he can't get 20 goals minimum.

It might be over dramatic but we can probably write off this season. I think they were relying on him picking up his lower league form. We can’t seem to score goals and we as usual can’t defend. System doesn’t seem to suit archer or Armstrong as lone strikers.

I expect it also means he doesn’t get a new contract unless he comes back and catches fire instantly (or unless we have an auto one year extension)

Nightmare for Still as he probably only has until January to prove he is up to the job. And that might actually be being generous
