At long last the 2017 Results; Golden Boot 2017; and all-time Accies 11-a-side stats have been updated (you'll find them on the right-hand side of the blog, although if you're reading this post on a mobile device you'll need to scroll down and click on 'View web version'). Here are some statistical highlights:
The race for this year's Golden Boot is in the early stages, of course, and last year's record breaking winner Dan Ogoun, sadly out injured, has watched patiently from the sidelines over the past few weeks as Scott Greenwell and Simon Mesner give him a target to aim for when he's back playing. Simon already has more goals in 2017 than he scored in the whole of 2016 - the result of tireless practice behind the scenes, as well as an extended run of games up front, rather than at centre back. Scott celebrated his return to the Accies match squad with a sublime hat-trick, instantly catapulting himself into the box seat in the Golden Boot ranks for this year.
In the all-time stats, last night's win vs Longmead Tuesday means we have successfully delayed an unwanted stat: our 300th 11-a-side defeat. Hopefully we can keep that one at bay for a few more weeks!
Looking at the all-time 11-a-side scorers list, Simon Mesner's decent form in front of goal (seven goals in his last nine appearances) has returned him to the top 3, ahead of Perre Heath, during which time Simon also netted his 100th 11-a-side goal for the club, becoming only the fourth player to reach that milestone. At the other end of that list, Nicky Holtham's debut goal last night - he's the 82nd person to score an 11-a-side goal for the club - sees him becoming the latest player in joint 60th place. Fellow triallist Paddy McKeown is just above Nicky on 2 goals, drawing level with 'quality not quantity' scorers such as Luke Fallon and Stuart Dade :-)
In the all-time appearances list, Stuart Dade is edging closer to his 400th 11-a-side game for the club, while Luke Fallon has moved above Luis Sandoval into fifth spot, and has Steve Spurdens in fourth firmly in his sights. And Anthony Emery has broken back into the top 10, sitting level with Andy Thornes for the time being. And at the bottom of the list, Paddy McKeown is the newest addition, having notched his fifth appearance for us last night. Welcome, Paddy!
