Title: Have Torquay hit the buffers?
Post by: cheshire cat on March 06, 2021, 06:18:54 PM

It looks like they will be caught by Sutton and Hartlepool.

If Dover get their results expunged, they will lose another three points as well.

So will we and that would put us in the bottom half of the table for the first time in a while. More realistic position though as we've played the most matches in the league and will have, I think, even then.

Still a great chance of top half finish with an outside chance of sneaking into the play offs. Don't know about anyone else but I'd have snatched your hand off for that when the season kicked off (or even after half a dozen games in)

I certainly would have half a dozen games in. It took a while to build up confidence

Since we beat Torquay, and went on our losing run, both our and their confidence took a kicking.

Hopefully Woking is our turning point, and they need theirs.

Winning is a habit and so is losing. I'm probably stating the obvious here haha.

Would we actually be that much worse off than other teams if Dover's results get expunged, given I'm guessing many teams in the league have beaten them once?

I did think it's good we haven't played King's Lynn yet, if they're carrying on with reserves.

Looking at PPG, there will be a few more twists and turns but I'm saying 10th - 16th is our trajectory, around teams like Boreham Wood and Aldershot.

Objective No. 1 is to stay up. All but ✔ off.

Blimey, it was obvious when they played us that they'd gone off the boil.
