Amendments may be made following consultation with both the fanbase and the club. The representatives involved in the Voice of the Fans will also be reviewed on a regular basis within the same manner.

Scunthorpe will be looking to make it two wins on the bounce when they face Wealdstone in this upcoming National League fixture, and a win would take them a step closer to securing their 5th-placed spot.
Scunthorpe currently sit 5th in the National League and have won two of their last five games, whilst Wealdstone sit 12th and have also won two of their last five.
Andy’s Bet Club’s football analyst will break down Wealdstone’s recent clash with Boston to see what the statistics suggest about how they might set up against Scunthorpe.
Wealdstone vs Boston United
It took until the fourth minute of stoppage time for Wealdstone to find an equaliser, but it was the least they deserved when you look at the game's statistics.
Wealdstone created 13 shots in the game, with 4 of those being on target, and they created an xG (expected goals) of 1.68. In comparison, Boston had six shots with threeon target, and they created a lower xG of 1.35.
Wealdstone also dominated the ball, with a possession figure of 69%. This dominance was largely down to the styles and passing accuracy of both sides. Wealdstone had a passing accuracy of 84% and a long pass percentage of 10%, whereas Boston had a passing accuracy of 71% and were far more direct with a long pass percentage of 25%.
The pressing stats show that Wealdstone were a lot more intense with their pressure off the ball. The home side had a PPDA (Passes per Defensive Action) of 9.3, whilst the visitors were more passive with a PPDA of 12.0.
Final Thoughts
Wealdstone have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with an average of over four goals total goals in their last five games. Therefore, it would be no surprise if this upcoming game with Scunthorpe was an entertaining one.
Wealdstone have averaged a ball possession of 57.3% this season, so it is likely that they will see a lot of the ball when they face a Scunthorpe side who have an average possession of 48.6%.
The home side have switched it up when it comes to their formation this season, alternating between a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2 for the most part. However, in their last fixture against Boston, they shaped up in a 4-3-3, so it is very difficult to predict how they will set up against Scunthorpe this weekend.
