Crewe Alexandra's Josh March tops club scoring charts in League Two

Josh March is the standout attacking force for Crewe Alexandra, having scored both of the club's League Two goals this season. His contribution over a longer period is even more significant, with 13 league goals since the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign, making him the top scorer for the Railwaymen in that time. This data was highlighted in a post-match stat pack published this week, which collated key figures from across Sky Bet League Two.

Josh March's tally of 13 goals places him firmly at the top of Crewe's internal rankings for the last season and a bit. Across the division, the scoring charts are led by Barnet, who have found the net 46 times in the 2026 calendar year. Bristol Rovers, known as the Pirates, are close behind with 45 goals from their 25 games. In their recent 5-3 victory over Newport County, Bristol Rovers scored five or more goals in a league match for the first time since May 2022. At the very top of the English football pyramid, only Erling Haaland (27) and Dom Ballard (24) have scored more goals across the top four tiers since the start of last season than Swindon Town's Aaron Drinan, who has 23.

While attackers grab headlines, Grimsby Town have built a solid foundation at the back. The Mariners have kept a clean sheet in each of their opening two League Two matches of this new season. Their defensive record since the start of 2026 is the joint-best in the entire EFL, matching Millwall with 13 clean sheets. This resilience is a key factor in any team's push up the standings. Barnet's current form is also a major talking point, as they have now won seven consecutive games in League Two. This run marks their longest ever winning streak in the EFL.

For Crewe, the immediate focus will be on building around Josh March's proven goal threat. The club's upcoming fixtures present an opportunity to turn individual brilliance into collective results. Manager Lee Bell will be looking to others in the squad to step up and share the scoring burden to help the team climb the table. The stat pack also noted a rare miss from the penalty spot elsewhere in the league, with Colchester United's Jack Payne failing to convert against Oldham Athletic after scoring each of his previous 13 attempts from 12 yards.

Crewe Alexandra's next match is at home against Walsall on Saturday, 19 September 2026.
