Maidstone United form and stats

Maidstone United's results here at Gallagher Stadium in the National League have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats. When Maidstone United hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers, Oldham Athletic, York City and Maidstone United), they have won 2 of 5 matches! It's been an uphill battle for Maidstone in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Maidenhead United game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The Maidstone United followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Gallagher Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Eastleigh (placed 7th). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Booty for missing a penalty kick versus Eastleigh in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Heartbreak before that as Maidstone United lost 0-2 at Oldham Athletic's place.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Maidstone, as the National League home game vs Scunthorpe United is only three days away.

Maidstone United has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Maidstone United have conceded 28 from these games.

A 0-1 defeat away at Southend United before that.
