Lincoln rout takes West Ham to 29 goals in ten games

Six goals at Lincoln took West Ham to 29 from their first ten Championship games. Knees up Mother Brown says that is a club record for this stage of a league season, passing the previous high of 26 reached in 1930/31, 1933/34 and 1938/39.

Pablo's fourth goal in the 6–0 win was West Ham's 27th of the campaign, the one that passed the old mark. Knees up Mother Brown also reports that 29 is the joint-highest ten-game total in the Championship this century. It is a striking scoring start, even allowing for Lincoln playing much of this match with nine men.
