We are prominent in most of the tables but most impressive is we are third after Stockport and Wrexham over the last 12 games, in which we have only conceded 8 goals. We are currently top of the pile over the last 6. Not so good is our ability to score goals compared to the above mentioned but that's understandable given their spending on strikers. https://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=england5

Torquay are 3rd in the form table which illustrates what a good win it was today.

I also noticed that we have the third highest number of games won this season.
Stockport are top of the list then there are two others on 23 wins and then it's us on 22.

To be honest I wouldn't mind facing Wrexham in the play offs, think we could beat them home or away. Looks like Chesterfield are on the slide and may finish 7th but they beat us at home, as did Notts. Solihull are a danger but the form we're in we should be full of confidence and could take anyone. If Solihull go up it would feel like a big kick in the teeth, being a league below them, Sutton and Harrogate

Solihull away as in 4th v 7th in the play offs for me is the worst case scenario.

I could foresee a scenario where Solihull overhaul Halifax and get a one off home game. If I was a betting man, I'd say we'll finish 6th, ahead of Chesterfield but behind Solihull and Notts County cos I don't see them dropping more points than us given their respective run ins. Ideally, I'd like one game at home and then I reckon we could win at Wrexham. We could've easily pinched a point there in January, when were at our lowest ebb arguably, looking very low on confidence and with players like Crookes and Sousa still mainstays, we're a much better team now individually and have much more confidence.

We lost to Chesterfield, Notts County & Halifax (away) during that bad spell, Chesterfield are not the force when they had Tshimanga scoring for fun, we recently Chesterfield on their patch. After yesterday's results we should not fear anyone in our current form.

Genuinely think these play offs will be so hard to call as the teams are all pretty evenly matched.

Agreed. Anyone is capable of beating anyone else on the day and you don't get a second chance at a second leg: lose and that's it. It'll be a combination of being at it on the day, taking your chances when they come along, a bit of luck, a favourable refereeing decision, or any and all of the above.

Ideally, it is hitting peak form at the right time. Reaching the playoffs and then stepping up further. I hope we can do the latter given that we should be in the playoffs.
Teams like Chesterfield, Boreham Wood and Bromley are not doing well now. I would give us a fighting chance away from home, backed by our noisy fans. The pressure would be on the home team.
Arsenal and Spurs are showing that momentum is more important than ability in the race for the CL. Neither team can sustain a good run of results in the way that we have. Timing the run is critical - for us as well as them.

Boreham Wood & Bromley are very unlikely to be in the playoffs. It is likely to be the teams in the playoffs now. Only the order will change
