After much wailing of teeth at the start of the season about where our goals were going to come from, only Swansea (73) have scored more goals than us (61).
Unfortunately, we've conceded almost as many as Orient.

Southend have no leading scorer in the division's top 20 (FL and Cups)

Southend have no players in the division's top 20 for assists.

Southend are ranked 4th best for 'shooting'
Southend have had 532 shots (319 shots ON target and 213 off).
The division leaders are Swansea with 651 (406 and 245).
Our hosts on Saturday Crewe boast 354 (198 ON and 156 off).

Mark Gower has had more shots than anyone else at the club.
Marky G has had 47 ON target and 37 off. He's also hit the woodwork 5 times.
Jermaine Beckford leads the division with 67 on, 71 off and 3 'woodies'.

Southend have committed 527 fouls this season.
Only Millwall (542), Yeovil (546), and Tranmere (535) have committed more. Our hosts on Saturday have committed the least (327), although they've conceded the most penalties in the League 8 - twice more than us. Alan McCormack (60), Peter Clarke (59), and Adam Barrett (50) are our worst culprits.

Southend have the dirtiest player in the League
In terms of bookings, Alan Mac stands head and shoulders above all the others with 13 yellows and 2 reds. Only Swansea's Darren Pratley comes close with 12 yellows and 0 reds. No one else has reached 10 bookings.

Leeds: 36
Southend: 33
Carlisle: 27
Donny: 26

Swansea: 26
Tranmere: 25
