Richie Wellens has now managed 36 League games at STFC (which includes the 0-4 home drubbing by Carlisle in his first game):
Overall - P 36, W 15, D 12, L 9, F 54, A 42, GD +12, Pts 57, Clean Sheets 10, Fail to Score 10, points per game 1.58
Home - P 18, W 8, D 5, L 5, F 28, A 21, GD +7, Pts 29, Clean Sheets 5, Fail to Score 6, points per game 1.61
Away - P 18, W 7, D 7, L 4, F 26, A 21, GD +5, Pts 28, Clean Sheets 5, Fail to Score 4, points per game 1.56
The away record has remained very strong under Wellens (continuing theme from Flitcroft/Brown) - losing only 4 out of 18.
The home record is improving, and this is the most encouraging thing for me. With two "proper" goal-scorers in Doyle and Yates now on board, think we'll win a lot more tight games, where last year we racked up the draws under Wellens. Ultimately cost us 7th place?
Here's the home record in the 14 games before Wellens arrival (part of the reason why the County Ground was such a glum place!)...
P 14, W 3, D 7, L 4, F 15, A 17, Pts 16, Clean Sheets 4, Fail to Score 6, Points per game 1.14 (this is staggeringly bad for STFC at this level of English football).
So... full credit to Richie Wellens and the Social Media/Comms/Ticketing people at STFC for turning round the atmosphere at home (and the away support has swelled also). Further acid tests to come with home games against Macclesfield Town on Saturday, followed by Colchester Utd on Tuesday. We do still seem to have a home Tuesday blind spot, with frustrating 0-1 defeats featuring prominently through recent years.
