So far this season, the only goal scored by a Cardiff City striker was Kieffer Moore's header at Blackpool back in the second week of August. After 13 league and cup matches, the stats for the team's three strikers are as follows:

James Collins - 6 (+7) apps, 0 goals
Mark Harris - 5 (+4) apps, 0 goals
Kieffer Moore - 7 (+6) apps, 1 goal

Meanwhile, Isaac Vassell hasn't even managed to make it onto the bench yet, let alone the pitch.

City's strikers made a similarly dismal start to 2016/17 under the management of Paul Trollope. Rickie Lambert scored twice during a 2-1 win at Rotherham in the tenth game of the campaign, but those were the only goals scored by a striker in the first 13 matches.

To put the current striker goal drought into some sort of perspective, these are the numbers of goals scored by City strikers in the first 13 games of each of the previous ten seasons:

2011/12 - 9
2012/13 - 6
2013/14 - 4
2014/15 - 9
2015/16 - 8
2016/17 - 2
2017/18 - 4
2018/19 - 4
2019/20 - 7
2020/21 - 4

This time last season, Kieffer Moore had scored four goals.
