I don't think anyone is dead and buried yet. It's all about which team s in the bottom 6 are able to put a run together and pull away. The number of signings Northwich have made, don't be surprised if they start winning a few more games. I think Stafford and Droylsden will prove difficult opponents for us but overall I tihnk they will struggle to pick up the required points. We've put ourselves in a brilliant position and just need to build on it and not let it slip. After the Cambridge game we have three matches against teams we are well capable of beating:

Woking (H)
Droylsden (a)
Farsley (H)

If we can take at least 6 points from these games it will be a massive lift for our players (and a psychological blow against the others).

Of the 3 I think Stafford may be the most awkward.

The goal differences tend to be a good indication of the capability of a team

i think the psychological battle is massive...take today for example, gutted to throw away a two goal lead but we've gained a point from this self titles mini league that has emerged so if we concentrate on that then surely we cant go far wrong???

Surely Droylsden merely have to start winning games and they'll pull clear......simple!

The goal difference is a criticial indicator....4th bottom will go to between us, Farsley and whoever starts freefalling....I think both us and farsley may start to rapidly catch up on weymouth and co.....there may be a surprise for some poor team who hits a bad run?
