Hednesford Town may sit rock-bottom on two points, but don’t let the table fool you into thinking they’ll park the bus. At home, they’re averaging 2.00 goals scored and 1.71 conceded per game. Their recent fixtures read like a striker’s fantasy league: a 1-1 draw, a 2-2 thriller, and a 3-4 absolute barn burner.
