Now it’s time to check whether our strikers in season two are firing on all cylinders. We’re about 40 games into season two, so it’s almost over. But it’s not too late to check and […]

As the sun sets on Scarboroughs first season it’s time for an end of season summary. I don’t really want to do too much of a standard season update. There are plenty of other blogs out there that do it and will do it better. I want to focus on the statistics and what I’ve learnt. So I’ll try to […]
