MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (a)

[Snowflake Royal]

Is Joao not our all time top gooalscorer in the Championship? I'm sure I saw that posted about somewhere yesterday. Not that it's a particularly fantastic achievement or anything, but it's still pretty good nonetheless.

I wouldn't say he's largely responsible why we didn't achieve what we could have done, although for £5m, he hasn't been worth that for us. £5m is a reasonable price to pay for a player of his quality, it was the fact that £5m on one player was a lot for us, as a club, to offer and we needed more for that sort of money. Hit fitness record also leaves a lot to be desired. But at his best, £5m is more than worthwhile for him.

Not a oxf*rd chance whilst Dave Kitson exists.

1. Lucas Joao - 42
1. Yakou Meite - 42
3. Shane Long - 40
4. Dave Kitson - 39
5. Kevin Doyle - 35

Kitson has the best goals per match record (for those who have scored +10 goals):

1. Dave Kitson - 0.48
2. Gylfi Sigurdsson - 0.43
3. Kevin Doyle - 0.42
4. Adam Le Fondre - 0.39
5. Lucas Joao - 0.36

Soccerbase has Kitson on 54 League goals. 2 PL season 1, 10 PL season 2. Where are the other 3 league goals?

Not sure, I've always used Transfermarkt.

Championship - 39 - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dave-ki ... rt=&stand=
Premier League - 12 - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dave-ki ... rt=&stand=

Might be counting the old first division by mistake? - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dave-ki ... rt=&stand=

I've counted. Dave Kitson has scored 44 tier two goals for us.

Transfermarket is ignoring goals scored under a different branding of the same division. Which is absolute horseshit.

Kits scored 62 goals in all competitions, 56 in the league (54 in his first spell, 2 more in his second spell).

Yep, 12 in the PL so 44 in Championship including both spells

Fair enough, if it's wrong then it's wrong. Either way, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a failure to have him as our second all time goal scorer in the Championship, especially considering where we have been for most of his time here. The biggest problem is that £5m was/is a lot of money for us to spend on one player. Not that Joao isn't worth £5m (his injury record might put this up for debate) for the quality you get, we just needed more for that kind of money.

Kitson would be the highest "Championship" goal scorer if it weren't for those pesky seasons in the Premier League

A mostly fit Kitson would add about another 34 goals in 2 seasons.
