Day 268

I took a look at some Blue Square Bet Premier statistics today. Wrexham may be having a major downturn in form, but they’re still at an impressive fourteen games without defeat. Grimsby have that bettered with a fifteen-match unbeaten run. Gateshead’s run is perhaps the most impressive, though—they’ve won seven straight matches. If they can keep their run going, they might even sneak into second place.

Wrexham rather comically hold second position on the “games without winning” charts, too, thanks to their six successive draws. Kidderminster haven’t won in a month, with a woeful record of just two league wins this calendar year.

We’re one goal shy of a century, sporting an incredible goal difference of +63. That means my boys have scored nearly two-and-a-half goals a game, and conceded less than one a match.

My players take out five of the top six places on the Average Ratings table. Barnes-Homer, Olembé, Shuker, Koroma, and Gowling are all up there. Rui Marques and Peter Bore aren’t far behind, in equal thirteenth and seventeenth, respectively. Shuker’s still top of the assists charts, while Rui Marques has been on the field for every single one of our 99 goals.

I was also interested to see that Marques leads the league on “key” headers by fifteen—his 80 is followed next by Danny O’Donnell’s 65. It shows what a huge role he plays in my defence.
