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
Aldershot Town -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 1 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 5, drew 4, lost 14 of 23, scoring 32 and conceding 46 -- 0.83 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Eastleigh 1-1 away; beat Harrogate Town 3-1 at home; drew with Kidderminster Harriers 1-1 away; lost to Hartlepool United 0-1 at home; beat Boston United 1-0 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (10, 6, 5 apiece), most recently Scott Myles Davies 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.
Halifax Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 2 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 10, drew 4, lost 8 of 22, scoring 27 and conceding 28 -- 1.55 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Hartlepool United 1-0 at home; lost to Altrincham 1-2 away; beat Tamworth 4-1 at home; lost to Boreham Wood 1-3 at home; lost to Forest Green Rovers 2-3 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (16, 5 apiece), most recently John Matthew McGrath 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.
