Who put the ball in the net?

Having enjoyed such a clutch of victories lately I had lost track of who had actually been banging them in for us this season. I had a hazy recollection that Dempsey was our leading scorer a few months back but decided to have a trawl through the statistics.

To my surprise four players have netted six times (league and cup). Dempsey is still the top scorer in the league, despite his last goal coming in our defeat at White Hart Lane back in December, while 11 individuals managed to get on the scoresheet at some stage.

Initially I thought it was quite impressive to have that number scoring - but then I looked at some of our rivals and a different picture emerged. At the top end of the table, Man Utd had 15 different scorers (Ronaldo topping the list with 41!!!!), while 17 Chelsea players got on the list with Lampard taking the lion's share of 19.

At the bottom, Derby had 13 players on the scoring chart with Miller top of the tree on six goals; Reading also had 13 scorers with Kitson the best of the bunch on 10, while Birmingham had the same number as us, although top scorer Forssell bagged nine.
