OPPOSITION
- This season: P19 W9 D6 L4. GD +9. 33 points. They sit 4th (of 22 teams).
- This season (home league games): P9 W2 D5 L2. GD +2. 11 points.
- Last five league games: W3 L2
- Last five league home games: W1 D3 L1
- Most recent league game: 2-0 win at Stamford (Saturday).
- Most recent league game at home: 1-0 win vs Bishop’s Stortford (30th November).
- With 16 goals conceded in the league this season, no team has let in less.
- However, of the teams in the top half of the division, no team has scored less than the Bards (25 – tied with Stamford).
- With six draws in the league this season (the most recent five coming at home), only Leiston (7) and Biggleswade (8) have drawn more. Interestingly, none of these draws have come in their last six league games (W4 L2). In each of these six games, either they or the opposition have failed to score.
- They are the only team in the league to have won their last three matches, and have won them all to nil (the Stamford and Bishop’s Stortford wins, along with a 1-0 win at Hitchin). They had lost their last two before this good run (Sudbury away and Spalding at home).
- In their home league matches, no team has drawn more (5 – tied with Sudbury). They average a goal a game at home (9 from 9 – only three teams have scored less) and have conceded the joint second least goals (7, only Banbury have conceded less with 6).
- Their home form at league this season has been interesting. An opening day 3-0 win over Leiston has been their only other win (along with the Bishop’s Stortford win). Between those, they lost directly after the Leiston win and before the Bishop’s Stortford win, drawing the five games in the middle (all 1-1, bar a 0-0 draw with Harborough).
- They’ve only scored more than once at home in the league on one occasion – the Leiston win (once six times and zero twice).
- The Bishop’s Stortford win ended a run of seven home games without a win and, if the league table was based on home results, they would be 18th – a far cry from their actual league position of fourth (they have the league’s best away record).
- In their last five league games, they have scored four and conceded four. Nobody has scored less, only Stourbridge (2) have conceded fewer and their five games have been the lowest scoring games out of all the teams in the league across the same period.
- It’s a similar pattern in their last five league games at home – also four scored & four conceded, no team has drawn more (3) or conceded fewer.
- Extending it a little further to their last 10 league games (home and away), they have the third best record (after the league’s top two – Kettering & Halesowen), no team has conceded fewer (8) but only three teams scored less than their 12 (and they are all in the league’s bottom seven).
- As per the Southern League website, Stratford’s top scorer this season in the league is former Rousler Callum Ebanks, with seven – he scored the winner from the penalty spot in their last home game against Bishop’s Stortford, but was red card in their most recent match against Stamford on Saturday.
- They were knocked out of both the FA Cup and FA Trophy at the first time of asking this season.
