I for one didn't realise that 4 teams go up and so was pleasantly surprised when I saw we are in the play off places. I think Hurst is doing a sterling job as when we lost amond, toto, and released what I thought was a good squad, I was thinking we would be mid to bottom. Cheltenham are living proof that you need to adapt to survive and Hurst had built a very good team with depth (re: reserves match).
I think we can push on to the automatic places; and this is no longer a pipe dream.

Me too, from the football I've seen from Town I think we will be up there, I've seen the likes of Pompey and Doncaster and we've nothing to fear at all, I suppose a lot will depend on if we can keep Omar (which I really hope we can) the defence has improved (2 clean sheets) we're playing excellent football and it's a joy to watch, full credit to Paul Hurst and the players.

Let's not get carried away 10 games in we are in a great position at the minute but things can quite easily change, it's not like we are playing teams of the park on another day we could of lost a lot more games, so I think it best to remain cautious whilst enjoying our unexpected league position.

Equally we havent been played off the park yet, and could have got something from those games we lost. There is reason for optimism.

I'm not getting carried away at this point. We could have drawn the last two games quite easily. However we have also lost games we didn't deserve to lose. I think the real test will come when we lose a few players through injury/suspension etc. I said I would be happy to see an improved team and things going forward. Well as far as I am concerned both seem to have happened. Two losses could see us back to mid/lower table, just as two wins could put us right up there. To even be in contention for the play offs towards the end of the season would certainly be a success in my eyes. Of course I am hoping we carry on in the same way as we have been. But it's still early doors to be getting too excited.

Early days yet. I'm just enjoying the feeling of being back in the league and the better football that comes with it. Actually looking forward to the game on Saturday, which didn't happen much in non-league. As I've said before, as long as we are not struggling in the relegation zone, i will be content- anything else is a bonus. Hurst seems the ambitious type though, so he will be pushing for the play offs no doubt.

We've had two wins in a row against teams that are really not likely to be challenging come the end of he season and both were from a penalty so I'm not going to get excited about us being world beaters just yet.
Wins build confidence however and we are playing much more entertaining football than we have in years so this season in general will be great to watch either way I want us to finish as high as possible in the table but I always felt before the season started I'm not going to push my expectations through the roof with thinking we'll walk to back to back promotions.

Oh I accept that there's one or two points between the top and bottom. It's a very close league but the fact we have t really looked out of place really makes a difference
