Last night was the first time this season that a non-attacking player has scored a goal. We have had a really unusual season so far in that 22 of our 23 goals have come from strikers or an attacking midfielder.

Is it because this season's forwards are considerably better than last year's? Or that the service is better?

All in all I think it's a pretty exciting stat that we have five good goalscorers this season (and Matty Taylor is still out).

Has our strikeforce scored more goals this season than years did all season yet? If not, I don't think it will be long before they surpass that figure.

I think its a combination of the two. with Harley on top form and everyone generally improving, it is making it easier for our strikers. However having four strikers, all scoring goals, competing aginst each other is giving them great competition over a starting place. i think its bringing the best out of each of them!

I said strikeforce crocks not midfielders. They managed a poultry 23 between them. I've checked already. Well over halfway there with well over half of the season left to play.

Yeah, you could argue that's it's been somewhat of a turkey shoot!

Not unless we get them in the FA Cup.
