OPPOSITION
- This season: P36 W11 D8 L17. GD -8. 45 points. They sit 18th (of 22 teams)
- This season (home league games): P17 W5 D7 L5. GD 0. 22 points
- Last five league games: D2 L3
- Last five league home games: W2 D3
- Most recent league game: 1-0 defeat at Sudbury (Saturday)
- Most recent home league game: 1-1 draw with Bedford (15th March)
- No team has drawn more at home in the league this season (7) – tied with five other teams.
- Over every side’s last five league games, Redditch have the worst form in the league (two points – tied with Hitchin, but they have a goal inferior goal difference).
- With one goal in their last five league games, no team has scored less (the goal being in the aforementioned Bedford home game). In these five games, their games have seen the fewest number of goals overall (6 – 1 scored and 5 conceded).
- It’s a similar story for their last 10 league games too. No team has picked us less points than their six (tied with Lowestoft, but the Trawlerboys have a four-goal inferior goal difference). With seven goals scored in these 10 games, it is the lowest in the league.
- Redditch are winless in their last nine games (D3 L6). In these nine fixtures, neither Redditch, nor the opposition, has scored more than two goals in any of them (the most Redditch scoring in any of these being one).
- That nine match winless run is the longest winless run in the league at present.
- Their last league win (10 games back) was versus Barwell (3-2, H, 25th Jan) and they beat Kettering at home by same scoreline the week before.
- Prior to that Kettering match, they were also winless in nine games (D4 L5).
- Their home form paints something of a different story – they are unbeaten in five (W2 D3) and have only lost 1 in 11 (Lowestoft, 3-4, 4th Jan). This 11 game record is W4 D6 L1 – before this set of 11, they had lost four in a row at home.
- They’ve drawn their last three home league games (Bedford 1-1, Royston 0-0, St Ives 1-1). Seven of their eight league draws this season have come at home.
