VANARAMA NATIONAL LEAGUE STATS AND NEWS FOR THE SEASON SO FAR

Yeovil Town (4th last season) haven't won a game yet. They've drawn five and lost four of their nine league games played. They've only let in 13 goals (of the current seven only Torquay United, Wrexham and Bromley have let in less) but have only netted 8 times. Darren Sarll's side are in FA Cup action this weekend with their next league games being on Tuesday 1st December at home to Eastleigh and then on Tuesday 8th December away at Bromley.  

Torquay United (currently top) and Eastleigh (9th) are the only teams left with just one defeat to their name - No teams are unbeaten. 

Dover Athletic are yet to gain a point away from home. They have only scored one goal on their travels. 

Dover Athletic and Kings Lynn Town are the worst teams defensively - The Kent side have let in 24 goals in their 9 games played so far (equating to 2.67 per games) with The Linnets on 24 goals in 10 games played (2.4 per game). 

71.43% - Five of the current top seven are former Isthmian League sides. Only Torquay United and Wrexham are the only former football league sides in the play-off places. 

Sam Barratt has made an excellent start to his second spell at Maidenhead United. The 25 year old re-joined from League Two Southend United in September. He has scored 9 goals so far this season. He has already scored more goals than he did for The Magpies in the 17/18 season when he got 5 goals in 31 games. 

Chesterfield are the only club to part with a manager since the season began at the beginning of October. John Pemberton had been in full time charge since February after being caretaker from January following John Sheridan's departure. It has been reported they are about to appoint James Rowe who has been in charge of Gloucester City since November 2019 but left the club early this week. The former Canvey Island, AFC Sudbury, Leiston and Histon player, 37, has overseen City's return to the newly redeveloped Meadow Park - they have made an excellent start to their Vanarama North season. 

Kings Lynn Town, Chesterfield and Maidenhead United are kings of the over 2.5 goals statistics.  The Linnets and The Magpies have had over 2.5 in eight of the ten games they've played. Eight of the nine games The Spireites have played have ended in over 2.5 goals scored.  Every home game Maidenhead United and Chesterfield have played so far has ended in over 2.5 goals scored. 

At the opposite end of the table Boreham Wood (2 games out of 9 played have been over 2.5), FC Halifax Town (2/8) and Dagenham & Redbridge (2/8) currently like a low scoring game. 

Boreham Wood have played four games at home so far which have ended 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 and 0-1. Their next scheduled game is in the FA Cup with a tricky trip to Canvey Island next Monday evening . The rest of the teams from non-league's top division left in the FA Cup have the following fixtures - 

Saturday
Morecambe v Solihull Moors 
Portsmouth v Kings Lynn Town 

Sunday 
Barnet v MK Dons 
Mansfield Town v Dagenham & Redbridge 
Stockport County v Yeovil Town 

Monday 
Canvey Island v Boreham Wood 

Wealdstone are the best placed of the promoted sides currently in 4th place -  Kings Lynn Town (13th) and Altrincham (14th) will be relatively pleased with their start with Weymouth (20th) on two wins from seven looking to improve. 

WHO WILL FOLLOW BARROW AND HARROGATE TOWN INTO THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR THE 2021/22 SEASON?
