+0.72 points a game is the venue form gap, in Carlisle United's favour: Carlisle United takes 2.04 a game at home over the last two seasons, Woking 1.32 away.
Carlisle United: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season. Woking: 50 league matches in the bank, 9 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
Carlisle United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 2, lost 1 of 5, scoring 13 and conceding 9. Last season at home: won 14, drew 3, lost 4 of 21, scoring 45 and conceding 22 -- 2.14 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Eastleigh 0-1 away; drew with Forest Green Rovers 1-1 at home; drew with Southend United 2-2 at home; lost to Boreham Wood 1-2 away; beat Scunthorpe United 4-2 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 22 matches with one recorded (15, 7 apiece), most recently Rob Elliott with 7. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Woking -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 1, lost 3 of 4, scoring 1 and conceding 5. Last season away: won 9, drew 5, lost 7 of 21, scoring 31 and conceding 22 -- 1.52 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Kidderminster Harriers 0-0 at home; drew with Boston United 1-1 away; beat Altrincham 5-1 at home; lost to Hartlepool United 0-1 away; drew with Southend United 1-1 at home.
The dugout
Every one of the 7 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Neal Ardley. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
