Bored and with no football to watch I was wondering just how we compare success-wise with the other clubs who have been promoted from the National League into EFL2 since 2013. Number in brackets is number of seasons spent in EFL2 from the 2013/14 season on, PPG is av. points per league game in EFL2, GF is av. goals scored per EFL2 league game, GA is av. goals conceded per EFL2 league game:

Lincoln (2) 1.74 PPG, 1.49 GF, 0.99 GA
Luton (4) 1.63, 1.53, 1.05
Bristol R (2) 1.47, 1.30, 1.09
Mansfield (7) 1.36, 1.24, 1.19
Salford (1) 1.35, 1.32, 1.24
FGR (3) 1.33, 1.29, 1.28
Cambridge (6) 1.28, 1.20, 1.29
Newport (7) 1.27, 1.13, 1.30
Grimsby (4) 1.23, 1.09, 1.35
Tranmere (2) 1.22, 1.17, 1.27
Barnet (3) 1.20, 1.23, 1.43
Cheltenham (6) 1.20, 1.20, 1.38
Leyton O (3) 1.15, 1.20, 1.59
Macclesfield (2) 0.92, 1.24, 1.19

Newport's EFL2 league record over the past 7 seasons:
P 312 W 102 D 89 L 121 F 351 A 406 Pts 395

Based on the above, our average points per season is 58, which is what we are on track to achieve this season. This season we are way down on GF at 0.79 but equally well below our av. GA at 1.08.

Overall, stats would seem to suggest we are a bang average EFL2 team, finishing on average in 14th position albeit with an enviable cup record in recent times.

From memory Tranmere's 2 seasons would be their relegation and promotion seasons?

Yes, same as the Gas.

At least 6 of the sides above us in that list spent an awful lot more money than us too
