Leeds scored a mere 28 goals in the '96/'97 PL season, but remarkably finished 11th in the table.

AC Milan once became champions of Seria A scoring 36 goals in 34 games.

Another AC Milan stat. Paolo Maldini played competitive football against Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It matters not a jot how many goals we score as long as we gain enough points to survive, which we're well on course to do.

Could we not have 8 9-0 wins and 18 1-0 wins as a compromise? That would give us 78 points and, with 12 0-0 draws, 90 points would see us in the Champions League

Yep, and we probably won’t be 11th either!

As royboy said above, Leeds did only score 28 and finished with 46 points and this is the joint lowest with Huddersfield having scored the same number in 2017/18 and finishing with 37 points.
Manchester City scored 29 in 2006/7 and finished with 42 points and Sunderland also scored 29 in 2001/2 and finished with 40 points.
Last season Crystal Palace scored 31 goals and finished in 14th place with 43 points.
