Sheffield United, bottom with just 13 points from 27 games played, are on their way to establishing negative records in Premier League history.
So far the team led by Chris Wilder have avoided entering the English championship records as the worst team in terms of points which surpassed the 11 achieved by Derby County in the 2007-2008 season.
A short-term increase
But Monday’s humiliating 0-6 defeat at Bramall Lane against Arsenal moves Sheffield United closer to relegation from the Championship (second division), just one year after promotion, but also a record that no team wants to hold: the most goals conceded.
Specifically the ‘blades’ (sables) They have 72 points against, at an average of 2.67 per game, and if they continue at this pace, they will go past eleven rounds to play. the 100 conceded by Swindon Town in the 1993-1994 Premier League.
So far, 72 goals have just been surpassed, after 27 days and in one of the four main categories of English football, Doncaster Rovers, with 74 in the 1997-1998 season playing in Division Two (the fourth division).
Swindon lost 100 times that season in 1993-1994 in 42 games, as the Premier League was then contested by 22 teams. The team with the most goals, playing in the championship as of now over 38 games, is Derby, with 89, in the aforementioned 2007-2008 campaign.
Three straight home wins and what’s left!
Sheffield United scored 16 goals! in their last three league games at Bramall Lane: 0-5 against Aston Villa and Brighton and 0-6 on Monday against Arsenal.
And Wilder’s team still have to face teams like the leader in the eleven remaining days Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle. A severe test.
