+0.00 points a game is the venue form gap, in Gateshead's favour: Gateshead takes 1.04 a game at home over the last two seasons, Sutton United 1.04 away.
Gateshead: 49 league matches in the bank, 3 from this season and the rest from last season. Sutton United: 49 league matches in the bank, 3 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
Gateshead -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 0 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 0. Last season at home: won 6, drew 4, lost 13 of 23, scoring 25 and conceding 44 -- 0.96 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Yeovil Town 0-3 away; beat Woking 2-0 at home; lost to Eastleigh 1-2 away; lost to Altrincham 1-3 away; lost to Woking 0-3 at home. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 13 matches with one recorded (6, 5, 2 apiece), most recently Lee Cattermole with 2. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Sutton United -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 1, drew 0, lost 0 of 1, scoring 3 and conceding 0. Last season away: won 5, drew 7, lost 11 of 23, scoring 26 and conceding 38 -- 0.96 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Hartlepool United 2-1 at home; beat Altrincham 1-0 at home; beat Woking 3-0 away; lost to Boreham Wood 0-1 away; lost to Altrincham 1-2 at home. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 18 matches with one recorded (11, 5, 2 apiece), most recently Chris Agutter with 5. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
