Stevenage are the League Two draw specialists this season.
Whereas Oxford United, for example, have drawn just one of their ten home league games this campaign, Graham Westley’s team have seen six end all-square.
But they remain defensively tight, conceding just 16 goals in their 19 league games home and away.
According to their press officer, Mark Venables, they have often dominated games but just haven’t been able to put the ball in the net, or have made just one lapse at the back and been punished for it.
Their former U’s striker Yemi Odubade has tended to be used as an impact sub, coming on with his pace against tiring defenders.
His last start was at Cheltenham on September 11, but he often comes on early in the second half, and has bagged two goals this season.
Up front, manager Graham Westley has tended to use former Cambridge United striker Chris Holroyd, who is on loan from Brighton, and has scored six goals in 12 appearances, with Ben May, the ex-Millwall and Scunthorpe forward.
However, Chris Beardsley is back in contention for a starting place against the U’s.
Stevenage have not won for five home games.
But by the same token, no-one has really turned them over this season.
