Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Accrington Stanley: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season. Gillingham: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 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

Accrington Stanley -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 3, lost 0 of 5, scoring 9 and conceding 6. Last season at home: won 9, drew 3, lost 9 of 21, scoring 25 and conceding 25 -- 1.43 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Oldham Athletic 0-0 away; beat Cheltenham Town 2-0 at home; drew with Swindon Town 1-1 away; drew with Newport County 0-0 at home; lost to Barnet 1-2 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by John Doolan. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Gillingham -- away

Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 2, lost 1 of 5, scoring 9 and conceding 6. Last season away: won 4, drew 5, lost 11 of 20, scoring 21 and conceding 34 -- 0.85 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Rotherham United 4-1 away; drew with Newport County 0-0 at home; lost to York City 0-3 away; beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 at home; beat Tranmere Rovers 2-0 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 22 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Gareth Ainsworth. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
