League Two. This article shows statistics of the club's players in the season, and also lists all matches that the club played during the season. Their first-place finish and subsequent promotion means it will be their first ever season of playing in the Football League, having featured in the Conference National for the past sixteen years. The season also marked the first season that the club played under its new name – Stevenage Football Club, dropping 'Borough' from its title as of 1 June 2010.[1] It was the third year in charge for manager Graham Westley during his second spell at the club;[2] having previously managed the Hertfordshire side from 2003 to 2006.[3]

Ahead of the club's first season in the Football League, Westley stated a desire to give the majority of the squad that had won promotion from the Conference National a chance to play in League Two.

Byron Harrison signed for the club on free transfers,[16][17] whilst Craig Reid joined from Newport County for what was a "club record fee" in January 2011.[18]

Stevenage recorded just one league win from their first seven league fixtures, and suffered from inconsistency for the first half of the league campaign.

League One, the third tier of English football, during the 2011–12 season for the first time in their history.[29]

The 2010–11 season also witnessed Stevenage compete in both the

League Two

The 2010–11 League Two fixtures were released on 17 June 2010, with Stevenage opening their league campaign at home to Macclesfield Town on 7 August 2010.[80] The game ended 2–2. Peter Vincenti opened the scoring for the hosts after just six minutes; heading in Charlie Griffin's looping cross. Macclesfield equalised just four minutes later after Matt Hamshaw's cross was headed in by Nat Brown. Tyrone Barnett then put the away side ahead early in the second–half. Stevenage levelled the game with just one minute remaining after Rob Sinclair cut in from the right and slid the ball to Charlie Griffin, who poked the ball past the on–rushing Veiga.[81] The club's first away game in the Football League ended in a 1–0 defeat against Bradford City at Valley Parade. Bradford striker Gareth Evans scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the first–half in a game that was "rough luck on the visitors" having dominated large parts of the game.[82] Stevenage won their first game of the season a week later, beating Stockport County 3–1 at Broadhall Way. Charlie Griffin opened the scoring with a looping header after half an hour, before Michael Bostwick's 30-yard effort found the top corner two minutes before the interval. Griffin added the third with a close range effort in the second-half, with Stockport's George Donnelly scoring a consolation goal in injury–time.[19] A week later, Stevenage travelled to Aldershot Town for their second away fixture of the season. The game ended all square, finishing 1–1. Chris Beardsley opened the scoring five minutes into the second-half, with Aldershot striker Damian Spencer equalising fifteen minutes later. With just five minutes remaining, Jon Ashton was adjudged to have fouled Spencer in the area, with referee Mark Halsey pointing to the spot. Marvin Morgan's resulting penalty was palmed away by Chris Day to ensure Stevenage earned their first point on the road.[83]

Stevenage hosted Crewe Alexandra in the first weekend of September, which resulted in a 1–1 draw. Crewe were forced to wear Stevenage's yellow away strip after the referee deemed their current away kit to clash with the red and white of Stevenage.[84] Stevenage took the lead just before the interval, Yemi Odubade tapping the ball into the net after Stacy Long's initial shot had rebounded off of the post. Crewe equalised ten minutes into the second-half, Ashley Westwood scoring from just outside the area. The home side were reduced to ten men just minutes later as Long was sent-off for two bookable offences.[85] A week later, Stevenage lost their second league game of the season, losing 1–0 to Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road.[86][87] The following game, Stevenage drew 0–0 at home to Torquay United – who had sat at the top of the table before the start of the match.[88][89] Stevenage won their first away game of the season against Lincoln City, winning 1–0 at Sincil Bank. New loan signing Chris Holroyd scored the only goal of the game just before half-time, lashing the ball high into the roof of the net after Charlie Griffin had brought down Darius Charles' throw-in.[90] First-team coach Dino Maamria was also listed as a substitute, but was unused.[91] Three days later, Stevenage recorded their second away win of the campaign, beating Hereford United 4–1. Stevenage opened the scoring after thirteen minutes, Chris Holroyd latching onto Lawrie Wilson's cross to give the visitors a one-goal lead going into the interval. However, just four minutes into the second-half Hereford restored parity through Sean Canham. On the hour mark, the away side led once again, Jon Ashton heading home Wilson's corner to score his first goal of the season. Stevenage doubled their advantage just seven minutes later, Chris Holroyd scoring from six yards out. Holroyd completed his hat-trick with ten minutes remaining; Peter Vincenti broke down the right, squared the ball to Holroyd who composed himself before scoring his fourth goal in two games.[92][93]

Following two successive away victories, Stevenage hosted

Globe Arena to face Morecambe, a game that ended 0–0. Scott Laird saw his penalty saved for the visitors five minutes into the second half after Garry Hunter had handballed in the area.[100] The Hertfordshire side then welcomed league leaders Chesterfield to Broadhall Way for the club's last game of October. The game ended 0–0, Stevenage's second consecutive goalless draw.[101][102]

Stevenage made the short journey to Hertfordshire rivals Barnet in early November. Stevenage won the match 3–0, their third away win of the season. John Mousinho opened the scoring after half an hour, hitting a "rasping shot" that found the bottom corner of the goal. The lead was doubled just six minutes later, Mark Roberts sliding in from close range after Michael Bostwick had headed the ball across goal. Mousinho added a third from the penalty spot with ten minutes remaining.[103][104] Stevenage stretched their unbeaten run to seven games after a 1–1 home draw with Shrewsbury Town. Chris Holroyd scored after just eight minutes, tapping in from close range after Michael Bostwick's free-kick had been spilled. Shrewsbury equalised ten minutes into the second half through striker Matt Harrold.[105] The following week, Stevenage lost 1–0 to Accrington Stanley at the Crown Ground, with Accrington scoring with twenty minutes remaining.[106][107] Three days later, Stevenage welcomed Southend United to Broadhall Way, with the game ending 1–1. Stevenage took the lead after twenty five minutes through Stacy Long, who turned in Michael Bostwick's wayward shot. Southend levelled with just five minutes remaining, when substitute Barry Corr worked his way into the box and finished calmly.[108][109]

Stevenage's first scheduled game of December was an away trip to Port Vale. However, the game was called off on 2 December, two days before the match, because of adverse weather conditions.[110] Stevenage returned to action a week later, losing 1–0 at home to Northampton Town, with Ryan Gilligan's fourteenth-minute strike settling the match. Darius Charles, a second-half substitute, was sent-off just seven minutes into the second-half.[111][112] Stevenage's trip to Bury, scheduled to be played on 18 December, was called off a day before the match due to a frozen pitch at Gigg Lane.[113] The club's home game with Oxford United on 26 December also fell foul of the adverse weather conditions, with the game being postponed due to a frozen pitch following a 10.30am pitch inspection on the day of the match.[114] A day later, Stevenage's game against Burton Albion was also postponed following a failed pitch inspection at the Pirelli Stadium.[115] The spate of postponements meant that Stevenage had only played one game in six weeks, as well as having to train on 3G surfaces in the local area.[116]

Stevenage returned to action on 1 January, losing 1–0 to

B2net Stadium, with Chesterfield scoring just before the interval.[21] A week later, Stevenage secured their second consecutive home victory with a 2–0 win against Morecambe at Broadhall Way. Both of the goals came in the first ten minutes of the match – Scott Laird scored the first goal, turning John Mousinho's cross into the net after just five minutes. Four minutes later, Laird's cross was sliced into the net by Morecambe defender Kieran Charnock.[119] Stevenage then followed this up with another home victory three days later, this time winning 3–0 against Rotherham United. Peter Winn opened the scoring just before the interval, cutting inside from the right wing and lashing a shot that beat Rotherham goalkeeper Andy Warrington at his near post. Substitute Byron Harrison scored his first goal for the club just three minutes after coming off the bench, scoring from close range after Rob Sinclair's right wing cross. Scott Laird then added a third in injury-time, collecting Lawrie Wilson's pass and curling the ball into the top right hand corner of the goal.[120]

February began with Stevenage playing their third consecutive home league game, entertaining Gillingham at Broadhall Way, with the game ending 2–2. Stevenage opened the scoring midway through the first-half, Byron Harrison, starting only his second game for the club, heading in Lawrie Wilson's deep cross. Gillingham equalised in first-half injury time, Cody McDonald scoring from close range. The visitors took the lead just after the interval, Adebayo Akinfenwa, who also scored for Gillingham in the reverse fixture, scored from six yards out following good work by Joe Martin. Stevenage manager Graham Westley made two second-half changes, bringing on Ben May and Peter Winn, the latter supplying the cross for Harrison to score his second with fifteen minutes remaining to restore parity.[121] Another 2–2 draw followed three days later, this time against Accrington Stanley. Stevenage had a two-goal lead courtesy of strikes from Byron Harrison and Lawrie Wilson, but two late Accrington goals meant that the points were shared.[122] Three days after the draw with Accrington, Stevenage travelled to Gigg Lane for their first ever game against Bury. The game ended 3–0 to Bury, courtesy of goals from Andy Bishop, ex-Stevenage defender Efe Sodje, and Ryan Lowe.[123] Stevenage fell to their fifth consecutive away defeat just four days later, losing 1–0 at Shrewsbury Town courtesy of a first-half Nicky Wroe strike.[124] The club made it five league games without victory on 15 February, drawing 0–0 at home to Oxford United.[125] Four days after the stalemate with Oxford, Stevenage secured their first away win in four months, winning 1–0 at Crewe Alexandra courtesy of an 87th-minute goal from Byron Harrison – Stevenage's first away goal in the league since 2 November 2010.[126] This was followed up with another away win three days later, this time securing three points against Port Vale at Vale Park, winning the match 3–1. Stevenage took the lead fifteen minutes before the interval when Anthony Griffith's 30-yard backpass took a bobble and rolled over Port Vale goalkeeper Chris Martin's foot. The visitors doubled their lead seven minutes later when Peter Winn scored a low drilled effort. Port Vale got a goal back through Sam Morsy, but David Bridges restored Stevenage's two-goal lead after Byron Harrison's cross had ricocheted off the goalkeeper and fell to the feet of Bridges.[22] Stevenage's last game of February was a home game against Cheltenham Town, with Stevenage securing their third consecutive league victory, winning the game 4–0. Goals from Mark Roberts and Byron Harrison had given Stevenage a two-goal lead going into half-time. Michael Bostwick added a third in the 52nd minute, lashing the ball across goal from just inside the area after a tidy interchange with Byron Harrison. Two minutes later, Harrison then added his second of the game, and Stevenage's fourth, when he headed in Lawrie Wilson's right wing cross.[127]

Two second-half Torquay United goals ended Stevenage's four match unbeaten run, with the game ending 2–0 to the home side. Torquay substitute

Ashley Grimes scored from the penalty spot after Scott Laird had handled in the area. The home side equalised four minutes later, John Mousinho's shot was saved by Lincoln goalkeeper Trevor Carson, but Lawrie Wilson was on hand to score the rebound. Wilson doubled his goal tally for the day on the hour mark, lashing a shot past Carson from 25 yards after a neat interchange with Mousinho.[132] A fourth straight win followed three days later, with two John Mousinho goals securing a 2–0 victory against Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.[23] Stevenage secured their fifth straight victory four days later, comprehensively beating Macclesfield Town 4–0 at Moss Rose. The away side took the lead on the half-hour mark, captain Mark Roberts scoring from close range after Darius Charles' shot was driven across the face of goal. Rob Sinclair doubled Stevenage's lead five minutes later, scoring his first goal for the club. Roberts was on hand to head home his second of the game just after the interval, and Sinclair made it four following good work from Charles.[133]

A sixth straight win followed on 2 April 2011, when Stevenage beat Bradford City 2–1 at Broadhall Way. The home side took the lead with ten minutes remaining of the first-half, Stacy Long was fouled in the area and referee Brendan Malone pointed to the spot. John Mousinho stepped up to score the penalty, his seventh goal of the season. Bradford equalised with just twenty minutes remaining – the Stevenage defence failed to deal with a ball into the area, and Bradford midfielder Dave Syers was on hand to poke the ball into the net. Stevenage responded within five minutes, Mousinho fed Craig Reid down the left, who squared the ball to Darius Charles, who subsequently drilled the ball low past goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin to give Stevenage all three points.[24] Stevenage drew their following game 2–2 at Stockport County. The away side took the lead ten minutes after half-time through Mark Roberts. However, two quick-fire Stockport goals within the space of three second-half minutes gave Stockport the lead. Lawrie Wilson popped up in injury-time to secure Stevenage a point.[134] Another 2–2 draw followed, this time at home to Aldershot Town. Stevenage took the lead after ten minutes, Darius Charles scoring from John Mousinho's lofted free-kick. Aldershot equalised just before half-time, Alex Rodman lashing the ball home after Stevenage had failed to clear the ball. Rodman scored again just after the break, cutting in from the left channel and scoring from just outside the area. The home side restored parity for twenty minutes remaining; Mousinho's corner arrived to Luke Foster at the back post, who rifled his shot through a body of players to earn Stevenage a valuable point.[135] Stevenage's eight game unbeaten run ended on 22 April 2011, following a 1–0 defeat to Southend United at Roots Hall. Stevenage were reduced to ten men in the first-half, after Peter Winn was dismissed for a challenge on Sean Clohessy. The visitors were awarded a second-half penalty after Southend defender Bilel Mohsni fouled Byron Harrison, but John Mousinho's subsequent penalty was saved. Barry Corr scored what proved to be the winner ten minutes from time.[136] Stevenage recorded a win just three days later, beating play-off rivals Port Vale 1–0 at Broadhall Way thanks to a goal from Lawrie Wilson with twenty minutes remaining.[137] The club fell to their second successive away defeat on 30 April, losing 2–0 at Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium. Both Luke Foster and John Mousinho were sent-off for Stevenage.[138]

Stevenage faced Bury at Broadhall Way on 7 May 2011, ending in a 3–3 draw, a result that ultimately meant Stevenage finished sixth and subsequently earned a place in the play-offs. Stevenage took the lead after eight minutes, Scott Laird lashing a shot from outside that area that beat Bury goalkeeper Cameron Belford. Bury were level just seven minutes later, Steven Schumacher's tame effort crept past Chris Day's outstretched arm. Three minutes later, Stevenage were back in front once more – Craig Reid scoring from the penalty spot after Byron Harrison had been fouled in the area by Belford. Bury restored parity for the second time in the game on the half-hour mark; on loan striker Nicky Ajose stooping low to head in Mike Jones low cross. Bury took the lead for the first time in the game with just twenty minutes remaining, Schumacher scoring his second goal of the game with a strike from 35 yards. However, three minutes later, the game was level again, Ben May poking in his first goal for the club after the Bury defence had failed to deal with Rob Sinclair's cross.[26]

League Two play-offs

As a result of Stevenage's sixth-place finish, they faced fifth placed Accrington Stanley over two legs in the League Two play-off semi-finals. The first leg was played on 15 May 2011, at Broadhall Way, televised live on Sky Sports.[139] Stevenage won the match 2–0, courtesy of Stacy Long's deflected effort and Joel Byrom's toe-poke past the onrushing Alex Cisak, both of which came in the first half of the game.[27] This subsequently meant Stevenage took a two-goal lead into the second leg, which was played five days later at Accrington's Crown Ground, also televised live on Sky Sports.[28] Stevenage won the match 1–0, meaning a 3–0 aggregate victory. Chris Beardsley scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute, turning in the area and beating Cisak with a neat finish. Twenty minutes prior to Beardsley's goal, Accrington were reduced to nine men within the space of a minute. Joe Jacobson was sent-off for a foul on Lawrie Wilson, while Sean McConville received a straight red card for violent conduct – raising his hand into Stacy Long's face on three separate occasions.[28]

The win meant that Stevenage would play

League One for the first time in their history.[29]

Stevenage participated in the

Championship opposition in the form of Portsmouth at Broadhall Way.[144] The game took place on 9 August 2010.[145] The match ended 2–1 to Portsmouth, with Darren Murphy scoring Stevenage's goal in the first–half with a long-range strike that was deflected. Murphy's goal had cancelled out Nadir Çiftçi's header, but Michael Brown's diving header just before half-time proved to be the winner.[30]

The club entered the

Kingsmeadow, who had beaten Ebbsfleet United after extra-time in the previous round.[148] Stevenage's game against AFC Wimbledon was televised live on ITV, after the broadcaster had anticipated a tie between AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons.[149] Stevenage won the match 2–0, courtesy of a free-kick from debutant Josh Walker that went in off the post in the first-half, and a tidy finish from substitute Yemi Odubade with ten minutes remaining.[34]

The draw for the third round took place on 28 November 2010, with Stevenage being drawn at home to

Cheik Tiote was given a straight red card with twenty minutes remaining for a foul on Stevenage defender Jon Ashton. Joey Barton pulled a goal back for Newcastle in injury-time with a long range effort that dipped over Chris Day, but Stevenage replied instantly with Peter Winn neatly finishing past Krul after good work from John Mousinho.[39]

The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup was made on 9 January 2011. Stevenage were dealt a home draw against

Championship side Reading, who had beaten Premier League side West Brom in the previous round. The game was played on 29 January 2011. Stevenage lost the tie 2–1 in front of a crowd of 6,614. Reading took the lead midway through the first-half, midfielder Mikele Leigertwood was given time and space to run at the Stevenage defence, and he side-footed the ball past Chris Day to ensure Reading had a one-goal interval at half-time. The hosts levelled the tie with just twenty minutes remaining, Stevenage broke from a Reading corner and the ball found its way to Darius Charles, who cut inside and curled the ball past the outstretched Adam Federici. Reading won the game with three minutes left, leading scorer Shane Long scoring from close range following Jobi McAnuff's teasing cross.[40]
