How this year's league record compares

Attackmindedness clear from the record With two games of the season remaining, playoffs apart, how does our league record this year compare with recent years? By any standard, it's been a fine season.   Looking back over the past 15 years, we've only broken the 60 points barrier on three previous occasions, we've only scored more than 70 once before - last season.   Proof conclusive of the attractive Sheerin attacking style - we've far exceeded our average goals for in a season Something has to give and it's in defence.  We're on track to hit our long-term average of 52-53 Goals Against over the season AFC's 15 year record - how this season compares  Season Division GF GA Pts Outcome 2011-12 Div 2 73 48 60 Playoffs 2010-11 Div 3 80 61 66 Champions 2009-10 Div 2 41 55 40 Plays-offs, Relegated 2008-09 Div 2 44 46 41 Midtable 2007-08 Div 3 54 47 52 Play-offs Promoted 2006-07 Div 3 61 33 70 Runners-up, Playoffs 2005-06 Div 3 57 47 55 4th place - Playoffs 2004-05 Div 2 49 73 38 Relegated 2003-04 Div 2 42 57 43 Midtable 2002-03 Div 1 30 77 15 Relegated 2001-02 Div 1 42 59 48 Midtable 2000-01 Div 2 54 38 58 Midtable 1999-00 Div 2 52 55 47 Midtable 1998-99 Div 2 37 52 44 Midtable 1997-98 Div 3 67 39 68 Runners-up – promoted 1996-97 Div 3 31 52 31 Bottom  17 seasons in Div 3           Average (up to 2010-11)   49.4 52.7 47.7
