Honestly, it feels like the month came and went in no time at all. Yet, we packed a fair few fixtures into the diary AND still found time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevenagefc.com\/news\/2026\/march\/11\/bolton-wanderers--a--postponed-due-to-international-call-ups-\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have a weekend off<\/a> for a dull-as-always international break. It\u2019s fair to say we\u2019re nicely set as we march into April too \u2013 so shall we see if history has any signs of encouragement to offer? <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">League One comparison at this stage<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In pure points terms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boroguide.co.uk\/seasons\/2324\/\">2023-24<\/a> leads the way at this stage. But there\u2019s a <em>very<\/em> important caveat. By the end of March 2024, we\u2019d accumulated 63 points from 40 fixtures; 17 wins being the key driver of that tally. On the face of it, it\u2019s three more points than we currently have. But that is ignoring the fact we\u2019ve played two fewer fixtures at the end of March 2026 \u2013 and have already reached 17 victories. It means we are level in terms of Points Per Game (1.58).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also worth saying that March 2024 was <em>not<\/em> a good month. Four draws and two losses had all but killed off our fading playoff prospects as the <a href=\"https:\/\/boroguide.co.uk\/managers\/20\/\">Steve Evans<\/a> era went into its final weeks. Meanwhile, Boro\u2019 went through March 2012 unbeaten under <a href=\"https:\/\/boroguide.co.uk\/managers\/13\/\">Gary Smith<\/a>; the peculiar haul of one win and seven draws(!) keeping our playoff ambitions just about on course at the most important time of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, yet, Smiffy was out of a job a year later; March 2013 bringing an end to his tenure.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FACT: <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It feels as if March has lots of hot gossip to share when it comes to League One. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boroguide.co.uk\/seasons\/1314\/\">2013-14<\/a> is one to forget, no doubt about it. But we actually had a fairly good March 2014. There were two wins (<a href=\"https:\/\/boroguide.co.uk\/seasons\/match\/1873\/\">including one at Bradford<\/a>) and three draws made it seem as if survival might well be possible. Being two goals up at home to MK Dons on 22 March 2014 also supported that \u2013 until a <a href=\"https:\/\/boroguide.co.uk\/seasons\/match\/1878\/\">late collapse led to defeat<\/a> and potentially sealed our fate there and then.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Season<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\"
