- Their away form in the 2019/20 league was P16 W5 D5 L6. Their last two away league matches of the 2019/20 season were defeats versus Coalville Town (0-1) and Banbury United (1-2)
- This season, they currently sit ninth, with 6 points from four games. They are unbeaten in the league (P4 W1 D3)
- They’ve drawn both of their away games in the league (Nuneaton Borough 1-1, Leiston 2-2)
- Other league results include a 1-1 draw at home to Barwell and an emphatic 7-1 home win versus Hitchin Town.
- That 7-1 win has helped them become the joint highest scorers in the league so far (11 goals from 4 games, joint top with Needham Market).
- Their only defeat this season thus far was in the Emirates FA Cup First Round Qualifying, 5-0 at home to Newark, a team two levels lower in the league pyramid system.
