Stevenage: 2016-7 Season Details
Stevenage Football Club came into the 2016-7 Sky Bet League Two campaign making another fresh start. For the third year on the spin, a different man was at the helm for the start of the season; Darren Sarll taking charge halfway through 2015-6, after a dismal run of form cost Teddy Sheringham his job.
And it was an erratic start to say the least, with two wins coming from the first eight games; one at Ipswich in the League Cup, while the other was at home to Luton.
The first half of the campaign was a true mixed bag and the side struggled for consistency. Sarll’s men were a different proposition after Christmas, however; surging up the table. The fine run of form that powered Boro’ up towards a playoff spot included a run of eight straight home league wins.
In the end, however, we ran out of steam at the worst time possible; failing to win any of the last six matches to fall short of the top seven and a shot at promotion.
