+0.12 points a game is the venue form gap, in Sutton United's favour: Sutton United takes 1.24 a game at home over the last two seasons, Aldershot Town 1.12 away.
Sutton United: 50 league matches in the bank, 14 from this season and the rest from last season. Aldershot Town: 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
Sutton United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 3, drew 1, lost 3 of 7, scoring 8 and conceding 11. Last season at home: won 5, drew 6, lost 7 of 18, scoring 24 and conceding 30 -- 1.17 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Harrogate Town 1-3 away; lost to Boreham Wood 0-2 at home; drew with Kidderminster Harriers 1-1 away; lost to Tamworth 0-2 away; drew with Forest Green Rovers 3-3 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 19 matches with one recorded (16, 2, 1 apiece), most recently Chris Agutter with 16. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Aldershot Town -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 2, lost 3 of 7, scoring 7 and conceding 9. Last season away: won 6, drew 2, lost 10 of 18, scoring 24 and conceding 30 -- 1.11 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: lost to Wealdstone 0-1 at home; lost to Altrincham 1-3 away; lost to Carlisle United 1-3 at home; lost to AFC Hornchurch 1-2 away; beat Tamworth 5-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 3 different managers took its 21 matches with one recorded (14, 6, 1 apiece), most recently Scott Myles Davies with 14. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
