With the season taking a mandatory pause; let us take a look at how the numbers have shaped up as of now. All stats have been kindly provided by Dave Foy aka Shaymen Stats.
Firstly, focusing on the team as a whole – Town have played 43 games in all competitions, winning 20 of those games. Out of the victories, eleven took place at home and nine games were won on the road.
A total of seven matches have been played out as draws this season, with three at The Shay Stadium and four away from home.
Leaving Town with 16 losses in all competitions, nine of which came at home and the remaining seven away from The Shay.
When it comes to goals (all competitions) the Shaymen have knocked up 59 strikes and conceded a total of 56 goals.
Now focusing on specific competitions, a total of 37 games have been played in the Vanarama National League so far this season. Having a won-drawn-loss record of 17-7-13.
Town currently sits sixth in the National League table and occupy their play-off place three points clear of Solihull Moors – the first team outside of the play-offs in eighth.
Halifax are on 58 points after 37 matches this season, that is a ratio of 1.6 points per game. As for goals, the side has scored half a century (50) in the league and conceded 49.
The Shaymen have participated in three cup competitions this season – the Emirates FA Cup, Buildbase FA Trophy and the West Riding County Cup. Town played five matches across the three competitions.
Managing to win twice in the FA Trophy and once in the County Cup. However, defeats in all three meant Town exited each competition at the hands of Harrogate Town (2-1 loss in the FA Cup), Halesowen Town (most recently in the FA Trophy) and Farsley Celtic (2-1 away loss in the County Cup).
Overall, The Shaymen’s biggest win at home so far was a 4-0 FA Trophy win over Wrexham. The biggest win on the road came at the Kuflink Stadium as a 4-1 victory on the opening day of the season saw off Ebbsfleet.
Turning attention away from the team, and now looking at individual players – Town’s top goal scorer this season is Liam McAlinden. McAlinden scored ten goals in all competitions before his January move to Stockport County.
As for current Halifax players, Tobi Sho-Silva has the most goals to his name with seven, closely followed by Cameron King on six, as well as Devante Rodney and Jack Redshaw who are both on five goals.
Interestingly, the club’s fifth top goal scorer is defender Jerome Binnom-Williams with four goals, three of those came in the league and one in the cup. Mentioning the cup, it is Jack Redshaw who is the club’s top scorer in cup competitions with two.
