Half Time Report

With half the Conference season now gone, the Bulls are just two points shy of last seasons tally at this stage.

This season we have played one less home game than last season - effectively swapping a home win for an away draw in the comparative tables. Taking the missing home game into account, we have scored about the same amount of goals at home as last season with 14 from 10 games this season against 16 from 11 last time.

However, away from home we are eight goals short of last seasons tally - even with an extra away game. Removing the last 'additional' away match, the 2-2 draw with FGR, our away points tally is identical to last season despite the lack of goals. That tally is more impressive when you look at the opposition played - having travelled to three of the top six clubs this season, but only two of them at the same stage last season.

This season, nine clubs have 30 points or more. Last season, it was 14. Last season, no-one outside the top seven at the halfway stage made the play-offs. Down the bottom, the bottom club at halfway was relegated as the bottom side in each of the last three seasons.
