Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Ipswich Town W: 25 league matches in the bank, 3 from this season and the rest from last season. Wolverhampton Wanderers W: 3 league matches in the bank.

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

Ipswich Town W -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 0, drew 1, lost 0 of 1, scoring 1 and conceding 1. Last season at home: won 4, drew 2, lost 5 of 11, scoring 16 and conceding 20 -- 1.27 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Leicester City WFC 1-0 away; drew with Southampton W 0-0 away; drew with Nottingham Forest Ladies 1-1 at home; beat Sunderland Women 2-1 at home; beat Birmingham City Women 3-0 away. The last 2 of these are from last season.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 10 matches with one recorded (7, 3 apiece), most recently David Wright 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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers W -- away

Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 1 of 1, scoring 0 and conceding 2.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: beat Burnley W 3-0 at home; beat Sheffield United Ladies 3-1 at home; lost to Newcastle United W 0-2 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 3 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Dan McNamara. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
