Wrexham, Luton, Kiddy and Mansfield.
Newport and FGR if they spend big in Jan.
So its down to club who is prepared to gamble the most in January, there's no point being top at Christmas and miss out come the end of the season. When we were looking like getting relegated from the league, Fenty push the boat out, cheaper admission to games and laying on coaches to away games. He has to do the same now, get rid of the drift wood (Soares, Elding & Ford) off the wage bill and sign Hannah, Pond & Marshall.

The biggest threat to our chance's would be the failure to sign Pond & Hannah, give us these two and I honestly believe we will win the league.
Agree with this post, The team which will be the biggest threat for me is Wrexham.

We've done Wrexham & Newport away, our biggest games will be away at Luton, FGR & Mansfield who hopefully will have an eye on Liverpool. After that, we should be able to look after ourselves if we do the right deals in January.
Sort of agree with the sentiments re Pond & Hannah but Miller is certainly defensively as good as Pond, Greg Pearson now appears to be fit and Liam is getting there. More bothered about the wide men to be honest, Colbeck is too inconsistent, Marshall is OK, Southwell not a winger and Soares out of favour. I would be extremely pleased to see Devitt back in a Town shirt!

Newport will fluctuate between the top 3 positions until fading away after Easter. Wrexham as I have said in previous posts will be the ones who will push especially if they can find someone who can finish off some of their good play. I think FGR and Mansfield will be too inconsistent to break into the top 3.

Kiddermister will be our main threat,

The team I'm most worried about TBH is Kidderminster! They're on a fantastic run (won 6 on the bounce) and are scoring goals for fun! Other than that I dont see anyone we should worry about! I agree that if we sign Hannah and Zoond then we'll win the league!
Agree about Kiddy. There are so many factors to consider that a really long answer is possible. What I would say is that, now we're top, it really is in our own hands even more so. I think there are 7 or 8 teams who will continue to be a threat because it is so wide open. If Luton sort their defence out, they will bite back, and I think Wrexham will push hard too. I'll repeat this - my mate's Dad works as chief scout for Luton Town and watches hundreds of teams and games a year. The first time he saw us this season, only a handful of games in, he declared to my mate, his Luton-supporting son, - "Grimsby will win the league".

-I have a feeling that Newport may eventually fall away - saying that i said the same about Southport last year -It has to be Luton's year one year, do they have enough this year? Who knows? I think that our away fixture vs. them at the end of the season could be crucial -Forest Green spent the money and have good strenght in the depth. The'll definatly be there or hopefully there abouts at the end of the year -Having seen Wrexham both home and away I think there in my eyes our biggest challengers. There a very organised team but do miss a goalscorer. If they could find one in January il start worrying. -Kiddi will be pretty similar to us last year. -Mansfield will make some sort charge I should say, our game vs. them away could be another big game All of those teams have some sort of chance but its IMO ours to lose!
