61 goals conceded 22:23 - Mar 13 with 3551 viewsJoe_bradshaw

Apparently no club has ever avoided relegation after conceding that many with ten games to go.

We'll have to create history to stay up.

Its just a made-up, meaningless statistic. What matters is points.

Saw that earlier shocking reading,but no surprise given our shambolic defence earlier in the season,i won't mention you know who,Saturday wasn't brilliant either once we lost our shape and concentration,let's hope this isn't an omen.I still think we can stay up,as I've posted before it's going to be close run thing.Hope our current injury woes,sort themselves out,we need every available body fit,as we are very light on options.

The teams with the worst goal difference are often the ones that go, but we achieved our horrendous negative pretty much over 11 games.

Who made it up?

What's the real number?

It's not meaningless. If we'd conceded fewer we'd almost certainly have more points.

Of those 6 teams, all were in the relegation zone after 28 games, except Blackburn (16th). 3 of them were bottom of the table.

Worked out that Bradley's goals conceded per game average would have seen us ship around about 100 goals over the course of a season.

Its meaningless. Why didnt they pick 15 games to go, or compare how many goals we have scored compared to other teams or table position with 10 games left? Its a stat which fits an agenda or picked out to create an article, nothing more.

Christ. It's just a stat, a valid one at.

A stat that proves our defence has been an utter shambles and that our time under Bradley could still see us relegated.

You swear the man denied the holocaust.

Misleading OP IMO.

Defending has got worse e season by season in the premier league, it's almost becoming a thing of the past in fact ! Add to that the Bob Bradley factor and you have a skewed stat right there !

Personally I think it will be a miracle if we stay up considering the mess the idiot Bradley made of things, in fact I'm amazed we even have a chance, a few years back we would be d ad and buried.

Keep th faith and try to b the positive is the best thing, if we really get behind the players we can make a difference . Don't pay att nation to all the stats out there, most of them can prove or dis prove anything yo wish !

Still a long way to go. Stats need a context, as has been pointed out here. It was disappointing on Saturday but if you go on stats alone.....we had never won a league game at Anfield. We did this year.

I'd imagine no team has been relegated with the player with the most assists in the league after 28 games

When I read the report it did concern me but as we all know when that imbecile was in charge we conceded 31 goals in 11 games and we have conceded 17 in 9 under PC

Whilst that isnt really good,in those 9 games we have played liverpool,chelsea,arsenal and city so I am not that concerned about the statistics of 61 goals conceded as it's now that matters and we atm are not in the relegation zone

Bobley's strategy was sound. Apparently if you hit 100 the "odometer" resets and our goal difference would've been golden. Clement is jeopardising everything by winning all these games

I can't see us getting anything at Bournemouth and I still think we'll go down.

The thing that gives me most hope is seeing that most teams have harder fixtures (on paper) than us.

The thing that gives me least hope is knowing that Fernandez (worth a goal a game) will be playing

I don't think we'll get anything at Bournemouth either, but I think we'll just about scrape survival. Last day of the season job.

Mathematically, the team which concedes the most goals over a season could go on and win the title by simply outscoring the opposition in every game. Unlikely of course. But possible.

We'd be rivalling Derby without him. No doubt about that.

Indeed. It's an indicator that we're in trouble, but no more than that. If you look at the likelihood of teams surviving when they're 3 points clear of the drop with 10 games to go I'd imagine there are plenty who've done so. So from where we are now it's not at all unreasonable to expect us to break the goals conceded record but stay up. Got to play better than we did against Hull though.
