Looks like top 3 pretty settled
Rest up for grabs with a good run

Still think the two to go up will be from those three currently at the top

Stockport win good news. I think realistically 4th is a sensible aim. Dropped points for a rival in Bromley and remove Stockport from the playoff mix.

Quoted from Poojah


It is, because I always felt we struggled at home in Hurst's previous life as Town boss. Yeah, there was the odd time we scored 6 or 7, but far more common was the likes of Guiseley and other bottom feeders coming and frustrating the lives out of us, a la Kings Lynn. Also bizarre is that they appear to be the only side to come and really play that way against us so far. I hope it remains that way.


Agreed.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of teams who try to play progressive football in this league. Been much better than last time we were non league.

I can't believe how many games Boreham Wood have still got in hand. They are in great form so it wouldn't be absolutely unheard of for them to keep winning and put in a real title challenge.

Aldershot did set up exactly that way, but the early goal meant they had to change plan and open up a bit more and it was cruise control from us from then on.

Perhaps. Personally, I didn’t think they did. Bizarrely. Aldershot came into the game with the 5th best away record in the league, and I think they came to try and take all 3 points only to find us far superior to them on the day.

But we all see things differently. I ain’t no oracle.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I thought Aldershot came at us from the off. They had the wind on their side and looked to take advantage of it.

Looking at the league table as it stand, I have to say I'd settled for 7th! So many teams with games in hand. I predict the 2 teams that'll miss out are Solihull and Wrexham

All well & good having 4 or 5 games in hand but when you’re going to end up playing Sat-Tue-Thu-Sat, as always happens in this league, it only takes a couple of injuries or suspensions to knock you.

Anything that keeps us in touch with the playoffs can only be a good thing. We can’t really afford any more losses after that run though.

Having a lot of games in hand is not the same as points in the bag.  Tiredness can hit home when playing games frequently.  Injuries are more likely.

From memory, so maybe wrong at my age, Soham had a backlog of games.  Played Leeds at home in the FAC?  They got into the playoffs but ran out of steam.  (That was when “smaller” teams got into the playoffs).
