I am trying to put together a retrospective list of goal assists for all of Reds' league goals so far this season.
I have managed to gather all of them except those for the last three goals against Kidsgrove in the 5-0 win last month.
Not a surprise of course considering the pea soup engulfing Borough Park that afternoon, particularly in the second half.
This rendered the match video unhelpful for identifying scorers, let alone assists and though I was peering into the gloom from the Town End and had a better view than many I can't remember with certainty the suppliers for Gaul, Nico and Dav.
Match photographer Ben Challis has kindly helped me out with his thoughts and photo analysis and I now think Nico converted a rebound from a Dav shot and Dav converted a cross from Gaul but I would welcome confirmation or alternate views of anyone else who was there so I can complete the tallies and keep it updated for the rest of the season.
Cheers

if my memory serves me right gaul made his goal by himself,he either tackled or intercepted a pass by one of kidsgrove players and went into the box and scored.

That fits with my recollection - I remember him rounding the keeper to score and I had an inkling it was from an interception. So he assisted himself, if that's a thing? Thanks.

Brad Carroll assist for the first Nic Evangelinos goal. Tinnion brought down for the penalty (if that counts as an assist). Connor Gaul dispossessed the defender to score. Nico's second was a cross/shot probably by Dav, diverted in. No idea for the final Dav goal.

Brilliant - thanks very much. The consensus seems to be that pen awards don't count as assists but I appreciate the reminder that it was Tinners who was brought down (and the lad sent off) - I thought it had been Rigg.

Thanks for everyone who has helped me out with this, particularly with regards to the Kidsgrove pea-souper. With the team having a Saturday off I thought it was a chance to post up to date figures on league goals & assists with 'total goal involvements'.
Player Goals + Assists = Total goal involvements D Symington 12 + 7 = 19
S Rigg 6 + 6 = 12
C Jerome 7 + 3 = 10
B Carroll 5 + 4 = 9
C Tinnion 4 + 4 = 8
C Gaul 2 + 6 = 8
B Hubbold 2 + 5 = 7
R Roache 3 + 3 = 6
N Evangelinos 4 + 1 = 5
S Smith 2 + 2 = 4
K Harrison 1 + 3 = 4
C Casson 2 + 1 = 3
D Wordsworth 2 + 1 = 3
M Clarke 1 + 0 = 1
N Fenwick 1 + 0 = 1
P Marshall 1 + 0 = 1
T Gooden 0 + 1 = 1
58 goals 47 assists (7 pens, 3 free-kick goals, 1 goal from interception)
Dav will take some catching on both lists but it's been great to see Casson getting into these figures recently - I hope the encouraging words from the gaffer have helped.
