Re: The Premier League's worst bottom two
Owen and Brian ensured that we have the most EPL defeats away from home in a season with 17, now Vinny is gunning for the home defeat record which I was surprised to find is held by Watford when they went down with us in 2021/22 with 15.

Amdouni has probably contributed to as many conceded goals as Trafford. Amdouni flinches for the cross in for number three and turns his body away from the ball.
