I think you will make the play off's but the title is between us and Wrexham I believe.  

Still a few games to go so there could be several changes in the top spot or we could create a points gap and be promoted well before we play you.

We have a big say in who will make the play off's with games towards the end of the season  


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

When is O'Connor due back for you county1966?

To be quite honest I thought you would struggle without him in the side, as the couple of times I've seen you on tele you looked very reliant on him in terms of the gameplan/tactics.

But I've noticed since he got injured most of your games have been postponed, so he's not actually missed many games.

I've said before it would end up between us and Wrexham lasting the pace, but I wouldn't be surprised if you do make it a 3-horse race.

Nobody up here who's got any sense is writing you off just yet Taff.

Any one of half-a-dozen clubs can still put a run together and pinch the title
and just getting into the play-offs is still a lottery.

Interestng though, isn't it mate !

Far too early to right anyone off yet. Give it 2 or 3 weeks and we should start to see who's in the mix for the title and who's in-line for the play-offs, in fact i think any of the top 6 could still win the league given a bit of luck and good form. That said if I had to predict the final top 5 right now i'd go for... Grimsby, Wrexham, Newport, Mansfield, Forest Green.

The final run in should start to take shape in about a months time. Carry on our unbeaten run with the other teams slipping up and its ours for the taking! Well its ours for the taking now, all we have to do is keep winning!

Won't write anyone off but to have any chance they'll arguably need to patch up their defensive frailties.
Wouldn't be suprised if Mansfield were overconfident after their 8-1 win.

Luton have been saying the same things for weeks, now they won't even be in 5th if they win their games in hand.

Come back when you have won them.

Last nights win for you lot was key I think. Had you lost, you'd have set yourself an almighty challenge. As it is, you've still got a shout and calmed my nerves because Mansfield were on a roll.

Think Newport are still very much in the title race to be honest, you've got to be an idiot to rule them out. I think it'll go down to the last couple of games of the season with all 3 teams still in with a shout. As for Luton you can quote me as saying that they have no chance of winning the title.

I think Mansfield`s  results are a little bit on the sporadic side, to win by 8 and lose by 2 in the following game speakes volumes IMO

IMO their are 5 teams in with a chance ourselves, Wrexham, Newport, Forest Green & Kidderminster.  Mansfield have to play 4 of the top 5 teams in the next 10 games, having lost to Newport yesterday cannot see them winning more 2 of these games.  Luton have 2 games in hand on us, so can be anything between 8-14pts behind us.

I think having a big point difference over us wiped out and our fantastic goal difference has shown why ourselves (as well as Wrexham are favourites for the title. yourselves go  on a mini run then take a whipping.

Yes you are still in there but imo (that is all it is) Newport and Mansfield will fade away into the Playoffs. I hope Wrexham do the same too
