Keith related stats you might not have known


By Nathan Jackson
December 20 2006

The last 4 seasons were memorable for many different reasons but some of the stats from that time are quite surprising. There are a few that won't surprise you though and the most shocking is probably how many times we took the lead and didn't win. All is revealed inside.

During Keith's 4 seasons in his 2nd reign as City manager, he achieved relative success compared to the previous crap that the club was treated to under Westley, Reames, Stant and Buckley. As you can tell from the stats below, he had a fairly decent record of manager, winning a total of 38% (rounded up) of his games in charge. So what other stats have we managed to come up with?
