It's a boring Sunday night so I thought I'd look at some statistics:
This is the second worst start to the season at this stage that we've had since being in the conference:
19/20 = 9 points
18/19 = 17 points
17/18 = 15 points
16/17 = 12 points
15/16 = 10 points
14/15 = 13 points
13/14 = 8 points
12/13 = 17 points
11/12 = 18 points
10/11 = 10 points
09/10 = 10 points
08/09 = 11 points
Failure to win on Tuesday night would mean this season is the worst start we've had since we were relegated.
It's no secret our defence has been awful this season allegedly due to being more attacking but lets look at the numbers from our last three seasons after the same amount of games:
2019/20 Under Bryan Hughes:
Goals For: 11
Goals Against: 14
Clean Sheets: 1
2018/19 Under Sam Ricketts:
Goals For: 13
Goals Against: 4
Clean Sheets: 5
2017/18 Under Dean Keates:
Goals For: 8
Goals Against: 5
Clean Sheets: 4
2016/17 Under Gary Mills:
Goals For: 8
Goals Against: 10
Clean Sheets: 3
Even that notoriously bad second season under Mills with the likes of Kai Edwards and Hamza Bencheriff conceded less than this season
Hughes last 10 games his record is:
Won 3 - Drawn 3 - Lost 4
His record over the last 20 games is:
Won 8 - Drawn 3 - Lost 9
