RiverRed Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Maybe we misheard and the target is actually 19 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyez Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I don’t wanna get too carried away here, but I reckon we’ll smash that target by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 90 goals in a season can be done by City. Looking at the goals between 1961 and 1965, that must have been an entertaining team to watch. 1905-06 38 games = 83 goals plus 1 FA cup Promoted 1926-27 42 games = 104 goals plus 3 FA cup 1946-47 42 games = 94 goals plus 10 FA cup 1954-55 46 games = 101 goals plus 1 FA cup Promoted 1961-62 46 games = 94 goals plus 15 FA cup 1962-63 46 games = 100 goals plus 10 FA & League cup 1964-65 46 games = 92 games plus 6 FA & League cup Promoted 1989-90 46 games = 76 goals plus 15 FA & League cup Promoted 2014-15 46 games = 96 goals plus 6 FA & League cup Promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking it up we conceded 92 in the league! So scored 100 but finished with GD of only +8. Must be a few on here who saw those going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand the 1975-76 team that got into Div 1 scored just 59 goals plus 2 in the two cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 It’s a great target. 90 goals pretty much guarantees promotion & even if you miss the target by 10 there is still a really good chance of a successful season. Set the bar high & go for it! We’re on our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Makes sense aim for 90 and if we fall short by 20% were still in promotion/top 6 goals for territory. I’m surprised there isn’t a sizeable promotion bonuses as play given the figures involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I've heard a few time on here from some of those closer to the club that the plyers and coaching staff all automatically double their wages if we're promoted. I'm sure there's some lump sum bonuses available as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Only just realised that 90 goals over 46 matches is just under two a game........easy peasy......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 So no negative goal difference this season then? Generally the 2-3 teams with the best defensive records get promoted, rather than the highest scorers, although often the two go together. We actually scored a reasonable number of goals last season, but we also let in way too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 What this target says to me is that the players will be encouraged to continue attacking even when the match is ‘ won ‘ . No more ‘2 nil and batten down the hatches ‘ with twenty minutes to go but keep hurting the opposition when it’s safe to do so. Entertainment , not boring the life out of the supporters time wasting . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengrass Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Remember the 62/63 season well. Group of us used to go & pass around the fags. We decided to cut down & only have one when a goal was scored. Result Bristol City 6 Southend United 3! I have since seen the error of my ways & given up smoking only problem put on 5 stones in weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
