OPPOSITION

  • 2025/26 league position: 6th (Southern League Premier Division Central)
  • Last season: P42 W20 D10 L12. GD +11. 70 points.
  • Last season at home: P21 W14 D1 L6. GD +14. 43 points.
  • Last season – last five matches: P5 W3 D1 L1. GD +2.
  • Last season – last five home matches. P5 W4 L1. GD +4.
  • Only two sides picked up more points at home last season than the Marketmen.
  • Their solitary home league draw last season was in their first 2025/26 game at Bloomfields – a 0-0 draw versus Real Bedford on Tuesday 12th August; meaning they went 20 consecutive home league games without a draw last season.
  • They came agonisingly close to the play-offs last season (when it was 2nd to 5th, as opposed to 2nd to 7th this season). Halesowen also got 70 points, but beat them to it via a superior goal difference. Their final two games were a 2-2 draw at Quorn and a 0-2 final day defeat to Banbury, which ultimately scuppered their chances. These came after four consecutive wins; the Banbury defeat was all the more remarkable given they had gone on a six match winning run in the league at home immediately beforehand.
  • Top league goalscorers last season: Luke Ingram (16) and Joe Neal (11).
  • Two players played the full quota of 42 league games last season – goalkeeper James Bradbrook and midfielder Myles Cowling.
