On the model's scale they rate 0.46 in attack and 2.51 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against League Two averages of 0.50 and 2.09: about average in attack, below it at the back. Across their last 5 league matches they have 3 draws and 2 defeats, most recently drawing with Rochdale 1-1 at home. That is 1.20 points a match, scoring 1.30 and conceding 1.30 per game across 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. That leaves them 7 points behind Salford City at the top, in a table of 24. Among the 24 rated sides in the division that is the 17th-best attack and the 23rd-best defence. They scored in 4 of those 5 and kept 2 clean sheets. Next they host Barnet in the League Two on 17 October 2026, a match the model gives them 25%.
