Fylde: 14 league matches in the bank. Hartlepool United: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 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
Fylde -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 2, lost 2 of 6, scoring 9 and conceding 8.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Boreham Wood 0-4 away; beat Scunthorpe United 2-0 at home; lost to Southend United 1-3 away; lost to Carlisle United 0-2 at home; beat Boston United 1-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 14 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Craig Mahon. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Hartlepool United -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 0, lost 5 of 7, scoring 8 and conceding 13. Last season away: won 7, drew 5, lost 6 of 18, scoring 22 and conceding 33 -- 1.44 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat AFC Hornchurch 2-1 at home; beat Forest Green Rovers 4-2 away; lost to Tamworth 0-1 at home; lost to Harrogate Town 0-1 at home; lost to Scunthorpe United 1-4 away.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 15 matches with one recorded (13, 1, 1 apiece), most recently Peter Wild with 1. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
