The team managed to secure only 6 wins but suffered 16 defeats, highlighting the difficulties faced throughout the campaign. Despite the setbacks, the club scored 45 goals, demonstrating some attacking potential, but a defensive frailty saw them concede 81 goals, resulting in a goal difference of -36. Interestingly, this season's fun fact underscores the defensive struggles, as the team’s goal difference was notably poor, reflecting the need for a more solid backline.
This season has been a tough learning curve, with the team experiencing the harsh realities of competitive football at this level. The lack of draws indicates a pattern of decisive results, mostly leaning towards defeat, and the overall points tally of 18 placed them firmly in the lower half of the table.
