Great reading, the away form (and surprising number of clean sheets) saved us.
But we need more firepower:
Great reading, the away form (and surprising number of clean sheets) saved us.
Away Form: Ultimately it was the club's away form (7 wins, 28 points) which kept the club up. Whilst not up to the record-breaking 11 wins & 37 points from two seasons ago, it was still the third highest points total since three points for a win was introduced in 1981. The away record was won 7, drew 7, lost 9.
Goals against: The goals against total of 60 was one of the best in the last 13 years and a big improvement on 2013-14 when 77 were conceded. The team kept fourteen clean sheets in the league, only four short of the club record of 18 set in 1938-39. Ryan Allsop kept eight, Lee Burge five & Jamie Jones one.
But we need more firepower:
And this stat remains and I hope TM changes it soon:Goals for: The goals for total of 49 was the fourth worst in the 14 years since the club left the Premiership and a far cry from the 74 scored in 2013-14. City failed to score in fourteen league games and only scored more than two goals on two occasions in the league.
They are the only club, bar long-serving Premiership clubs and recent promotees from the Conference, not to have been promoted or reached the play-offs since the play-offs were introduced in 1987 nor to finish in the top six of a division. The club did slip into the relegation area once, following a draw at Sheffield – Steven Pressley's last game in charge.
