The annoying thing is, that we could be well out of site by now. We have chucked points away regularly against struggling sides. From what i have seen this season, only Dartford deserved the three points against us.
Aye but, Luton, Wrexham, FGR, Newport and even Dartford can all same the same thing

Since the Conference was formed the team that won the title has been top after the last game

A lot of the teams at the top will no doubt say something similar. Plus we've had games we've won that we might have easily drawn. It's easy to forget about the points we've stolen and rue the ones we've lost. I'd have bitten your hand off if you'd have offered me second in mid-November and top of the current form table.

Anyone got a link to the form table? I don't get this second in the league rubbish. We are because we've played more games. If teams win their games in hand which is the most likely scenario given that they are in the top 6, we will drop down to 6th, 5 points off Wrexham, 6 off Newport. We can't comfortably enjoy our position until teams drop points. We have an awful lot more work to do.

Agreed. I would have been content to be in touch with the top 5 at this stage, particularly when Hearn first got injured. When did we start our great run last year? Must have been roughly this time of year. Imagine if we replicated that! We'd be up by April.

We are 2nd in the table though you dufus! No one said anything about us relaxing at this point either. We have the points on the board, they don't, and we can't say for sure that they'll win. I didn't expect Wrexham to lose at home to Hyde, did you?

PS: we can relax as much as we want since we can't actually do anything about it!

Well said DubaiMariner, was going to say something simular myself. Plus there is FA trophy comming up so teams will get knocked out and have games in hand over other teams left in the competition, plus with it being winter and the usual happens every year when games gets prosponed due to weather etc. It happens in football, so of course we can enjoy it. Us being second and having played more games just puts more presure on the other teams to win their games, to catch us or to pull away from us. Onwards and upwards, UTM!
