Could be a bit like playing us last year!
Home: 1 win, 3 draws Away: 3 wins, 1 draw (only side still unbeaten)
14 goals scored - 4 home, 10 away (1 pen, 1 OG) 7 conceded - 3 home, 4 away
First half goals: 4 (8, 19, 21, 45) Second half goals: 10 (64, 66, 71, 71 (OG), 74, 75, 75, 85, 90, 90 (pen))
Top scorers: McCollin (10) 6, Pinney (9) 3 (1 pen), Kavanagh (4) 2
Form (8 games): WDWWDWDD
So...
They win away and draw at home, and aren't easy to beat. They score most of their goals away - and in the last 20 minutes. They're as tight at the back as we (and Margate) are. Pinney (9), and McCollin (10) are the ones to watch out for.

I agree, this is also what I have mentioned in another post, "it could be our first proper test" as we will be pitched against a team that will be there or thereabout at the end of the season. Kingstonian, came to us slightly earlier at this stage of last season with an unbeaten record and having not conceded a goal either, as I remember it, they appear to be a bit physical in the early stages of the match but once we took the lead, we settled and started to impose our own foot hold on the game adding another goal for good measure; they went away, having tested their first defeat and had conceded their first goals too. Hopefully, on Tuesday night, we can repeat this result ... They probably would like to amend the results from last year, where we beat them handsomely at their place too. This year, all the teams have lost and recruited new personel, we have certainly gained stronger and physically better players, we sit proudly at the top of the table where we deserve to be!. Each team starts with the same eleven on the pitch and if we are the more dominant and creative side , the results as they have shown, will speak for themselves ... Let's get a big crowd and let's cheer our team to victory ... we'll then not need worry about the statistics or our "friends" from the North Kent Coastal side of the County !!
C'MON YOU STONEZZZ !!

I wasn't really suggesting anything, just interested in the stats.
But, given those stats, they should be our first really good test. I think, the way we're playing at the moment, we should be able to get the three points, but it will be interesting to see how easily (or not) we do it.
I would guess, from the stats, that their gameplan is to concentrate on defending in the first half and attack later in the game. So presumably we need to try to get an early goal and force them to attack before they want to - and then defend our lead, especially right at the end of the game.
It doesn't bode well for a high scoring game, but I don't think we've got where we are (even only playing bottom half sides) without being good enough to win this game.
By 9:30 we should have a pretty good idea of just how good a side we are this year.
