This win, along with their 2nd place position in the league table, suggests a strong start to their new season.

Notably, they've kept two clean sheets in their last two games, both 2-0 victories against Bristol Rovers in the League Cup and a friendly.

Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, their current form indicates a slight upward trajectory, especially considering their back-to-back wins against Bristol Rovers.
