14 games, 13 wins and 13 different goal scorers this season, that has to be some sort of record too?

Outfield player checklist:

Coady

Doyle

Albrighton 

Souttar

Choudhury

Daka

Ricardo

Praet

Akgun

 I think I am correct in saying these are the only 9 players to have played minutes outfield for us and are yet to score.

I wonder if we can knock them all off this season?

Think you need to put hermanson on that list as he spends more time outfield than in goal. 🙂

A closer look at the number of wins City need to reach the average promotion points tally and to beat Reading's record following their breath-taking start to the campaign

Leicester City’s record-breaking start to the Championship campaign means they can afford to drop points in more than half of their remaining fixtures and still reach the average required for promotion.

City are one of only two sides in the history of the second tier to win 13 of their opening 14 games, matching Bristol City in 1905-06. It puts them well on course for an immediate return to the Premier League.

The battle for promotion is coming into sharper view this week with City hosting fellow hopefuls Leeds on Friday night. Daniel Farke’s side currently sit in third, 14 points off the pace City are setting.

 

 

 

Since the Championship rebrand in 2004-05, the average points tally required to finish in the top two stands at 84. City need 15 more wins to hit that mark, and so with 32 games remaining, they could effectively lose 17 fixtures and still get there.


If they were to get 17 wins from their 32 games, City would hit 90 points, a total that has guaranteed promotion in every Championship season. Brighton in 2015-16 finished third with 89 points, the highest tally not to earn an automatic ascent to the Premier League. Stoke in 2007-08 and Hull in 2012-13 clinched promotion with 79 points, the lowest tallies to secure a top-two finish.

If they keep up their current rate, City would finish with 128 points, which would blow Reading’s record out of the water. The Royals earned 106 points in 2005-06. To surpass that, City would need 23 more wins from their remaining fixtures, meaning they can drop points in nine games.

But these are matters for fans and pundits to discuss, rather than City boss Enzo Maresca. He is not thinking about his side’s position in the table until the end of the season is in sight.
