Vale of Leithen form and stats

Vale of Leithen are yet to produce one single Football League point here at Victoria Park, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 4 matches have been lost. The home stadium (Victoria Park) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Vale of Leithen it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
