Win Some, Lose Some, Occasionally Gruesome...

Brockenhurst's stand, looking resplendent on a sunny August day.
You win some, you lose some, occasionally the goals against column is gruesome...

Welcome to part two of HAH's summer mini-series, wherein I've been compiling a whole bunch of statistics from the blog's first four and a half years. This time out, the focus is on some of the teams who have won one, lost one, maybe drawn one when I've been present. We've reached Mid-Table Land. No longer chasing taxis, although towards the bottom of this table, some will have been chasing their tails.

The format of the table is the same as it was on the previous post. Two points for a win instead of three, as it seems fairer. Reading from numbers 34 to 23, we have:

Gosport Borough's Sammy Igoe takes a free-kick beneath the speakers.
Let's have a look at each club's results when I've been present:

34. ALDERSHOT TOWN
Apr 2013 v Southend United (h) 0-2
Nov 2014 v Portsmouth (a) 2-2

33. BASHLEY
Sep 2011 v Hartley Wintney (a) 0-1
Feb 2012 v Leamington (h) 2-1
Feb 2015 v Wantage Town (a) 0-2

32. GOSPORT BOROUGH
Apr 2011 v AFC Totton (h) 0-1
Sep 2011 v Moneyfields (a) 1-2
Sep 2012 v Bideford (h) 2-0

I can't bear to look at Aldershot's result against Pompey - it still hurts that they went on to win the replay and become the first non-league club ever to knock the Blues out of the FA Cup. With their respective fortunes over the last few years being at opposite ends of the fortune scale, I would have expected Bashley to be lower, and Gosport to be higher, but here they are, locked together in HAH's stat table.

Will the ball never come down at New Milton Town?
31. NEW MILTON TOWN
Dec 2011 v Lymington Town (a) 5-1
Aug 2012 v Newport (IW) (h) 0-2
Mar 2014 v Andover Town (a) 0-2

30. STOCKBRIDGE
Mar 2011 v Petersfield Town (h) 1-1
Oct 2012 v Fleet Spurs (a) 3-2
Apr 2013 v Petersfield Town (a) 0-4

29. BLACKFIELD & LANGLEY
Jan 2012 v Alton Town (h) 0-2
Aug 2014 v Christchurch (a) 2-1

If I'd created this table at the end of 2011, New Milton would have stood proudly in second place after their 5-1 thrashing of their local rivals. Down to 31st after two defeats. Seems a bit drastic. Then we have the first two of many teams that have literally won one, lost one (and/or drawn one) when I've been present, averaging a point a game.

Turn left for Cove FC, right for Farnborough "Town" FC. Farnborough, north Hampshire's sporting hub.
28. COVE
Aug 2011 v AFC Portchester (h) 0-2
Sep 2014 v Chertsey Town (a) 3-2

27. BROCKENHURST
Mar 2011 v Bournemouth Poppies (h) 0-5
Apr 2012 v Hythe & Dibden (a) 6-2

25=. AFC STONEHAM
Feb 2015 v Liphook United (a) 1-1

Watching Brock seems to be a guarantee of goals...13 in two matches, not bad. It's about time I featured them again. Bring a calculator this time.

The only fun and games at Liphook were on the football pitch on this drizzly day in February.
25=. LIPHOOK UNITED
Feb 2015 v AFC Stoneham (h) 1-1

24. TOTTON & ELING
Sep 2012 v Weymouth (h) 2-2
Feb 2013 v Hayling United (a) 2-2

23. HORNDEAN
Apr 2011 v Hythe & Dibden (h) 3-1
Nov 2014 v Ascot United (h) 0-1

Totton & Eling are the only club I've featured more than once that have produced identical scorelines both times. I've featured five 2-2 draws so far. The most common scoreline has been a 2-1 home win (8 times), followed by 1-1 draws and 2-0 away wins (7 each).

More stats in a couple of weeks. SEVEN ALL-NEW PICS again as well!
