THE pressure on the Aberdeen FC strikers to finish top of the goalscoring charts is about to increase.

 

Manager Mark McGhee today claimed Aberdeen FC will have to net at least 50 league goals this season if they are to have any hope of stealing the SPL’s third spot off Hearts.

 

He is challenging Aberdeen FC’s recognised strikers – Lee Miller, Darren Mackie, Chris Maguire and Tommy Wright – to deliver the bulk of those goals and has come up with a simple way of reminding them of their main task.

 

McGhee revealed he is planning to post a chart on the dressing room wall at Pittodrie so that strikers, and their team-mates, can see for themselves who is – or isn’t – delivering.

Yee-ha, we have a new thread for the season. We got 27 out of 30 last season, 50 seems reasonable enough  :o

 

In fairness, he is letting the rest of the team in on the act this time.

Heard a few folk bringing this up as I left the game.....

 

To hit that target our players need to score 1.3157894736842105263157894736842 goals per game (GPG)

Currently after 4 games and 4 goals they are at 1 GPG

Therefore we are running at a deficit of 0.3157894736842105263157894736842 GPG
