yeah, but all these are what you are HOPING aren't they? what do you think realistically, given that we play our nearest rivals twice plus 2 other promotion candidates, one of which is also a local derby? that's why i think 5 -7

No team seems to have grabbed the initiative at all this season, unlike Crawley and Fleetwood in the last 2 seasons. From very early on the past 2 seasons it was pretty obvious who was going to win the league, (even though Wrexham pushed Fleetwood close last season).
It seems that this season nobody has had the ability to pull away from the pack with the lead regularly changing hands. It's still very hard to call between Us, Luton, Newport, Wrexham and FGR, still all in with a good shout of the title and even Mansfield and dare I say it Lincoln could still challenge on current form. The fact that Kidderminster didn't register their first win until their 11TH GAME and are now threatening does show that this season the title race is wide open.
We really need to grasp the initiative and string a few wins together to put some distance between us and the chasing pack and with 6 games coming up between Friday and the 8th of January it's time we started to make that move. Obviously it will be a big blow if we lose Hannah, Nielsen and Pond but hopefully something can be sorted out in the New Year and we can push on.

Yes Forza i am hoping, With our run of form we can do it, We are not an easy team to beat now, 2 home games 2 away games against inform clubs, But town are inform too,me personally think the Mansfield game will be the banana skin, But lets hope we can get a good run mate because this could be the turning point in our season.

I think we shall get 10 to 12 points because we have a good solid back line, best in BSP and league 2 combined, and on their day the midfield without neilson and forwards without hannah can bang in the goals like what Mansfield showed

Why have people not realised that when we were saying that Lincoln may have an eye on playing Liverpool when we play them so may be easier to take points from, that Mansfield ARE playing liverpool, therefore is the same not truu?

8 points would do me to be honest...although the more the merrier! 2 home wins and 2 away draws would suit but if we could make it 4 out of 4...yo ho ho! Btw Les I found out the other day my mum lives just over the road from you!
Really well done for finding your mum, I am tring to trace a relative can you assist ? 9 points would do me

It's going to be tough but I think we should be looking at 7 - 12. I get a feeling in my bones it is going to be between us and Wrexham with a points gap opening up between us.

Thinking back to last season, at what point did fleetwood make the break away from the pack?
