Morgan Whittaker of Plymouth Argyle is equal top in the Championship in terms of shots taken.

The 23-year-old has nearly a third of the Pilgrims’ 53 shots during the first six league games of the season.

After six rounds of matches this season, Morgan Whittaker is tied for first place in terms of most shots by a Championship player.

Finn Azaz, currently at Middlesbrough, has 13 shots, the same as Kieffer Moore of Sheffield United, while Elijah Adebayo of Luton Town and Million Manhoef of Stoke City each have 12.

Whittaker forced two brilliant stops from Alex Palmer as the Pilgrims fell 1-0 away to table-topping West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, and he also had a fantastic chance but blasted it over the bar after being set up by Ibrahim Cissoko.
