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

Cove Rangers -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 0 of 2, scoring 3 and conceding 0. Last season at home: won 5, drew 6, lost 7 of 18, scoring 17 and conceding 19 -- 1.17 points a game.
Its last five league matches

The dugout
Every one of the 18 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Paul Hartley. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

The dugout
Every one of the 16 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Andy Graham. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
