Barton Rovers form and stats

Barton Rovers's struggle is real here at Sharpenhoe Road with only 12 points collected from 12 Non League Div One: Southern Central games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-0-8. When Barton Rovers hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Hertford Town, Barton Rovers, AFC Kempston Rovers, Kidlington, Colney Heath and Wantage Town), they have won 3 of 5 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Barton Rovers, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Barton Rovers faced defeat in their previous match, away at Didcot Town (0-4).

Heartbreak before that as Barton Rovers lost 0-1 at AFC Dunstable's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Barton Rovers as they are travelling to their away game against Hertford Town in the Non League Div One: Southern Central. That match is four days after this one.

The Barton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. Barton Rovers have conceded 23 from these games.
