l United’s tally of 13 home defeats equals the worst in a season since the club was formed in 1924. United also lost 13 home games when they were relegated from League One in 2008-9.

l United’s total of 44 points is their worst in a 46-game League Two season since they finished bottom of the league in 1982-3.

l Only in 1948-9, when they let in 43, have United conceded more goals at home than the 41 which entered their net this time.
