Chesterfield: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season. Barnet: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season.
The question this step asks
Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.
The two sides
Chesterfield -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 1 of 2, scoring 1 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 10, drew 8, lost 5 of 23, scoring 37 and conceding 25 -- 1.65 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Gillingham 1-1 at home; lost to Rotherham United 1-2 away; beat Salford City 1-0 away; lost to Fleetwood Town 0-1 at home; drew with Notts County 0-0 away. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 26 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Paul Cook. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Barnet -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 4 and conceding 2. Last season away: won 11, drew 7, lost 5 of 23, scoring 32 and conceding 24 -- 1.74 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Exeter City 1-1 away; drew with Cheltenham Town 2-2 at home; beat Shrewsbury Town 3-1 away; beat Salford City 3-1 at home; beat Harrogate Town 2-1 away. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Dean Brennan. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
