Jordan Roberts, a forward for Stevenage, expressed confidence in the team’s prospects now that they have ascended to the top of the League One standings. This marks a significant achievement for a club that has never competed at the Championship level.
Stevenage’s Performance in League One
As of now, Stevenage sits one point ahead following their recent 2-0 victory against Luton. This victory saw goals from Chem Campbell and Roberts, showcasing their attacking prowess. Notably, just two seasons ago, these clubs were leagues apart, with Luton competing in the Premier League.
- Stevenage is currently leading League One.
- They have won eight out of ten league matches this season.
- The team secured 13 points out of a possible 15 in the last five games.
Crowd Support and Historical Context
The match at Lamex Stadium attracted a crowd of 7,228, the second-highest attendance for a league match in Stevenage’s history. This demonstrates the growing support for the club as they aim for top positions in League One.
Player Contributions and Team Dynamics
Roberts, who has scored two goals in his last three matches, emphasized the unity among the players. “The lads are grafting week in, week out, and it reflects in our performances on matchdays,” he stated. Roberts has appeared in 140 league games for the club since his arrival three years ago.
Looking Ahead
Next, Stevenage will face Bromley in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening. Following a compelling 5-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon in their previous group match, they are eager to secure another win.
As Roberts noted, “We know we’ve still got a long way to go. We just have to keep pushing.” With the momentum on their side, Stevenage is determined to maintain their lead in League One.
