Our first seven league goals this season have been scored by seven different players (T.Nixon, J.Ironside, D.Sotona, L.Molyneux, M.Faal, H.Biggins, B.Close)

I can only find two other occasions in our league and conference history, and one has a caveat that not all were Rovers players:

2015-16: H.Forrester, J.Coppinger, C.Main, A.Butler, C.Stewart, K.Anderson, A.Williams 
1930-31: L.Lievesley, R.Smith, W.Bott, 2 own goals (2 different opposition players, same match), Jerry Price, T.Atkin
The obliging opposition team were Rotherham United 


The longest we have gone from league season start for any player to reach 2 league goals are as follows:
2011-12: Billy Sharp in match 12
2015-16: Keshi Anderson in match 11
1936-37: Reg Baines in match 10

This season is the next longest and will be at least 9, and there are three occasion taking 8 matches.

And in 2011/2012 Billy was out injured for several games after the Dunk assault on the opening game of the season, yet by scoring on 18 October away at Blackpool in a 2-1 defeat, he still beat everyone in the side to 2 goals.
