    18 games in and it’s time to start looking at who may be part of the relegation party come April & May next year.

    Will a current overachiever like Exeter and Bradford lose momentum and drop down the table?

    Who will strengthen in January and go on a massive unbeaten run?

    For me, of the teams currently in the bottom half of the table, Mansfield & Scunthorpe have the best chance for a play-off push.

    Carlisle, Oldham, Stevenage & Colchester will definitely be down there. Just depends how many of those current overachievers join them.

    Christ if this is us overachieving I'm not looking forward to seeing us underachieve...

    No bites from me, especially with our game coming up this weekend. Home banker.

    You’ve got 6 former Scunny players in your squad, far too many to be a successful team, that’s why I already see you as overachieving.

    What's your basis of us over achieving then? Seems like it's our best squad in decades

    It's actually 7, to further add to your point.


    Hartlepool seem a good price, change of manager could have a negative impact.

    Big win for Carlisle today with a late goal but it’s still very close down there.

    10 days until our next game, which is a massive one away at Stevenage.

    We’re a much better side under Keith Hill, just need that 1st win to come and then no-one will stop us.

    We've drawn 1-1 in six of our last seven games. 2 wins in 19 now. Could well get dragged into it if we don't start turning the draws into wins.

    We have Colchester, Sutton, Carlisle, Harrogate and Walsall in December. A great chance to go on a winning run but if we pick up less than 9 points I'll be worried.

    Still pretending the 3-0 hammering didn't count even though the FA have made clear MJ's goals still count :bye

    Them stats were based on 90 mins as we did manage a shootout win against Sunderland. So throw in the game that never happened and that adds in another draw

    Whilst we are no where near this currently.
    We still have a court case around the Power / Standing / Barry ownership issue.

    Despite Power being long gone - there is still a chance the Football Club will receive the bulk of the punishment.

    Just for example -20 points would put us bottom

    -20 would be a stretch. Probs -12 worse case? Maybe 15 if unlucky. Squad and form easily survive. Let's make a West Country promotion fred instead
