Irish Abroad player statistics for 2013/14 season

Appearance data for April 2014: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=14
Celtic's Anthony Stokes 30 wins was more than any other player, two ahead of Derby's Richard Keogh
Loanee Stephen Ward's 15 drawn games tops the draws table, one ahead of Shaun Williams and Andy Reid's 14 games that finished all square
Ward and Keogh both started the most games of any player this season - with both player lining out for their respective sides 47 times across the season
Darren Randolph is the unfortunate winner of the least coveted "Most Starting Losses" award, finishing on the losing side in 24 of the 46 games he started for Birmingham
Randolph did manange the remarkable feat of completing 90 minutes in each of those 46 games, one ahead of Richard Keogh who completed the most games of any outfield player
Striker Simon Cox was substituted more than any other player, the Nottingham Forest frontman was withdrawn from the action in 23 of the 30 games he started in 2013/14, four more than Samir Carruthers in second place
Fellow striker Conor Sammon was introduced from the bench on the most occasions. The Derby County forward was brought on in 36 of the 46 games he started on the bench
Unsurprisingly, goalkeepers dominate the most unused substitute table, with Leicester City's Conrad Logan remaining on the bench in all 51 of the games he was named as a substitute for. Of the outfield players, Burnley's Kevin Long remained on the bench 39 times from the 41 games he started as a replacement
Jim Goodwin has the dubious honour of being the recipient of the most yellow cards, the St Mirren defender was booked in 14 of the 36 games he appeared in (35 starts)
Robbie Keane's 22 strikes from June 2013 to May 2014 were more than any other striker, one ahead of Celtic's Anthony Stokes. Stokes' goals let to 13 wins in the 15 games he scored in, a remarkable record.
Honourable mention for Leyton Orient's David Mooney who also finished with 21 strikes in League One

Irish Abroad player statistics for May 2014

Appearance data for May 2014: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/MonthlyStats?month=5
In a month with reduced fixtures, Kevin Doyle's three wins was more than any other player managed. Doyle's two substitutions in these games was one more than any other player, while fellow striker James Collins was introduced from the bench twice - also once more than any other player
Smilarly, it only took two draws for Damien Delaney to top the draws table
Three was not the magic number for Alan Maybury, Sean Dillon, Gavin Gunning, Stephen Quinn, and David Meyler as all players lost three times in May
Maybury and Robbie Keane started and completed the most number of games - both players lining out for their respective sides five times in 2014's fifth month, and went on to complete 90 minutes in each one. Keane's three strikes for LA Galaxy were enough to top the goalscoring charts, one ahead of Anthony Stokes whose two goals for Celtic led to two wins for the Bhoys
