Sure i read somewhere that our opponents have hit our goal frame more times this season than we've hit theirs. Might have dreamt it though.

Kicking the ball between the posts to score a goal is a skill. If our players fail to do that they fail at that skill. It’s not luck. In my opinion.

I thought now was a good time to bump up this thread as a bit of light relief from happenings on the pitch. When George Williams signed the other day, I noted that he was the 13th Williams to play for us which was joint-most with Joneses. I've added up total appearances though and it seems that the Joneses come out on top: League appearances (all taking from Wikipedia): Jones | |

|
| 401 |
There are a few other names with more than 400 mainly, some due to one legendary player (Bamford, Pitt, Bradford, Petherbridge, Jarman, Warren and Biggs) and others due to a couple of players (Brown, Mabbutt, Parkin etc.) I took a look at goals scored as well, but I don't think any name is beating Bradford's 242.

Great research, IVFK.. Since DC joined us, we seemed to have a disproportionate amount of ' Clarke's' too .. as opposed to prior his joining!?

That's true, Clarke would probably come out top in the last 20 years (especially if you include Clarke-Salter and Clarke-Harris) Can anyone remember when Rovers started wearing shirts with names on the back? That could be an interesting cut-off point to measure from.
