New Club Record

Also notable because 1987-88 and 2016-17 were (title-winning) non-league seasons; this time, we have scored a sackful of cup goals in Football League club competitions. The previous record as a FL club was 23 in 1982-83, the only other season in which we have scored 20+ cup goals.
 
Also equals our biggest ever victory in the Associate Members Cup / EFL Trophy. The only previous occasion we have achieved a 4-0 win was on 6 February 1985, against Hartlepool United in a first round, second leg tie in what was then the Freight Rover Trophy. Devon White (2), Alan Walker and Gordon Hobson were the scorers on that occasion.

I was one of the few at at that match. Big Devon went on to a half decent career after he left us.
