Season 2023-2024 – Some Final Stats

Dunfermline Athletic finished the SPFL cinch Championship campaign in 6th spot, while also playing matches in The SPFL Trust Trophy, The Viaplay Cup and The Scottish Gas Men`s Scottish Cup throughout the 2023-2024 campaign.

Here are some stats we have compiled from the Season just gone.

The Pars had 35 players available to them throughout the campaign, with 31 of them making at least one substitute appearance over the course of the campaign. The 4 players who were available to the management team at one point or another over the term but weren`t selected were; Andy Collier, Jake Rennie, Michael Beagley and Sam Young.

The most amount of clean-sheets went to Deniz Mehmet, who collected 8 throughout the course of the campaign, from 34 appearances. Both Harry Sharp and Max Little gained 1 clean-sheet throughout the Season, however, Little`s came in the last game of the term against Ayr United when he came on for the unwell Mehmet with only a few minutes remaining.

Dunfermline`s top goalscorer over the 2023-2024 Season was Lewis McCann, who notched 8 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions. Craig Wighton was closely behind with 6 goals in 25 matches, while Chris Kane scored 5 during his short spell on-loan from St Johnstone in just 10 matches. Joint fourth was Matty Todd and Josh Edwards with 4 goals apiece.

Over the term, referees showed DAFC players over 50 cards in all matches. 57 of these were yellow cards across all 42 games in all competitions, while Rhys Breen was sent-off against Airdrieonians at the beginning of the campaign for 2 bookable offences, which was the only red card received by McPake`s men throughout the course of the campaign. Chris Hamilton was shown the most yellows cards over the term, receiving 10, followed by Ewan Otoo with 6 and Lewis McCann and Sam Fisher with 4: a mention must also go to goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet who collected 1 during his time of the park this Season!
