Pitmen Chat - Independent HTFC Fans Forum

I started another thread asking if anyone can help with players league appearances in the early 1990s - hopefully someone can help.

Congratulations to Andre Landell who, when coming on as a 2nd half substitute against Redditch, made his 50th appearance for the Pitmen.
Andre made his debut way back on 10/12/2011 when coming on as a sub in the 6-1 win against Mickleover in the NPL at Keys Park.
He has made a total of 27 starts, 23 sub apps and scored 10 goals across three spells at Keys Park.

That is some gap between debut and 50th appearance, especially after being with us in three separate spells. Wonder if there has been a longer time span between 1st and 50th appearance?

Kyle Bennett brought up 50 appearances for the Pitmen in the recent game versus Alvechurch.
In the same game Tom Thorley made his 200th start, 218 in all including appearances off the bench.

The total players used this season is getting to an exciting stage. It also depends how you want to look at it, do you go with players used who actually get on the pitch, which is an appearance or players named on team sheet.

Anyway here we go with the seasons in the running and I have listed both scenarios.

2007/08
Starbuck

62 on team sheets
62 used

2018/19
Smith/Francis/Eaden/Hayward

64 on team sheets
62 used

2022/23
KMR/Burr/Glover

63 on team sheets
60 used

So at the moment 2018/19 is winning on team sheets (64) and 2007/08 & 2018/19 are joint leaders with players used (62). But it is close, however I believe the cut off for signings is next Thursday unless anyone knows different.
2007/08 is a stand out though as only three subs were named back then as opposed to five nowadays.

Final stats for amount of players used in 2022/23 is as follows:

65 players named on team sheets, a new club record.

63 players used at some point during the game, a new club record.**

22 players made 10 or more appearances
12 players made between 5 and 9 appearances
29 players made between 1 and 4 appearances
2 players named on team sheet but not entering field of play.

** amended since my original post as Garry Walker came on for Rhys Williams at half time yesterday which was not reported on twitter or the official match report on the club website.

Thank you Keith. It makes interesting reading.thank you also for all tge stats you keep us supplied with throughout the season.

Congratulations are in order for Tom Thorley and James McQuilkin.

Tom completed 250 appearances for The Pitmen in the New Year's Day game at Chasetown.

James completed 50 appearances for Hednesford in the Boxing Day win at home to Nantwich.

Do you have a running total appearance count for the Pitmen for the current playing squad, Keith?

Asking for a friend who might or might not edit the programme.

Much to my Dad's pleasure that is one of three home league games I've missed in the last 20 years, as I was at Thorpe Park.

He missed the 5-4 against Stafford though so we're just about even.
