Against teams currently in the playoffs, we’ve played 5 - W3 D2 - Conceding 3 goals (2 at home, 1 away) - won 60%, drawn 40% - clean sheets 60%, conceded +1 goal 40%.

Against teams above us, we’ve played 8 - W3 D2 L3 - Conceding 8 goals (3 at home, 5 away) 37.5% won 25%, drawn 25%, lost 37.5% - clean sheets 25%, conceded +1 goal 62.5%, conceded +3 goals, 12.5%.

If I've repeated any information or made any errors, I apologise again, but I just wanted to highlight how insanely good our defence has been. Our clean sheet rate is immense, and to think a combined 31 games (75.61%) we've conceded no more than 1 goal is frankly absurd.

Our record against the sides currently in the playoffs also gives me some hope for if we do make it there in May.

Games to come (with our last league result against each):

Bolton (A) - 0-0 at home
Lincoln (H) 1-0 loss away
Barnsley (H) 3-1 loss away
Doncaster (A) 0-0 at home
Wigan (H) 0-0 away
