I still don't have full data but it's not unusual.
Eg, looking at this season so far, counting only 1 to 11, Lewis Billingsley has worn 4 different numbers with Adam Jones, Kris Holt and Harvey Roberts all on 3.
Yesterday's defeat to Runcorn Linnets is the 11th time West have exited the FA Cup with a home defeat, out of 12 seasons.
It's over 10 years since West's only away defeat in the FA Cup, to 1874 Northwich in August 2015.
Naomi Lawrence's hat-trick for West Women in today's 5-3 defeat to Bolton Wanderers is West's first ever competitive hat-trick scored by a substitute.
• Top FA Cup goalscorers
6 - Victor Abadaki
4 - Tom Bailey
2 - Lee Grimshaw, Joe Shaw, Ben Elliott, Matty Kay, Nic Evangelinos, Jordan Lazenbury
• Overall FA Cup record
P26 W11 D4 L11 F40 A43
• Most FA Cup appearances
Player data isn't complete but Billy Matthews has 8 FA Cup appearances in the last 3 seasons alone, likely followed by Adam Jones, Ollie Martin and Victor Abadaki who have appeared in all 6 Marshall era FA Cup games.
It can be erratic but I've just tested it and it opens fine.
Worth checking your default map app settings, most of the bugs were caused by things in there.
Jack Banister's winning goal at 10.16pm tonight against Winsford United is the latest goal West have ever scored.
West 0 Atherton Colls 6

The last time in a league match was:
West 0 Congleton Town 5

Pre-season records aren't yet complete but there's at least one friendly visit (a 3-1 win) to add to that.
West's FA Cup trip to Winsford United will be our 16th visit to the Barton Stadium, six more than any other away ground.

West's average attendance for the 2024/25 season was the 75th highest in the whole of non-league football.
Unfortunately not, official assist data isn't recorded and it's a bit too anecdotal to try and do it manually.
