under dougie - in his 11 league games this season - a quick totting up suggests we were rollicking along conceding exactly 2 goals per game

under Lenny - in his 13 league games - we rollicking along at 1.7 goals per game...

so - yes - better (but that's a low bar!) - but (in my opinion) - not really better ENOUGH to be getting over-excited about our future prospects...

Well, yes, but Lennon's result is massively skewed by the previous two away games, in which 8 have been conceded. And I suspect you know that.

But carry on.

Nothing whatsoever to do with the game, but stumbled upon this bit of nonsense and thought I'd put it up

Aye - there's always some crackers in that list - West Ham down in 63rd. The country of Newcastle a couple of places behind us. Chelsea down in the Championship along with Spurs... :-)

Yep, if anybody thinks we've not dramatically improved under Lennon, then they may aswell pack in watching football

Not sure it's trolling but the goals conceded per game is somewhat misleading. We've had a couple of games recently where we've conceded a lot of goals but we've also had quite a lot of clean sheets, meaning stronger defensive performances overall which wouldn't be reflected in a 'goals conceded per game' statistic.
