My top 5 to win the league, make the playoffs, as of today.

2) Darlington. It's our remaining fixtures compared to theirs. Top 9 remaining fixtures Home to Droylsden, Away at Northwich & Scarborough. We need consistency.
3) Northwich Vict.
4) Spennymoor.
5) Bamber Bridge / Scarborough

6) Bamber Bridge / Scarborough, (Farsley & Mossley are being left behind).

My current forecast for the playoff games
Darlington vs (possibly) Bamber Bridge
Northwich Vict. vs Spennymoor



Darlington will have to battle the whole way, shown below, the top 4 clubs games played, the top 4 score first, the gaps are games not yet played.

Don't know why you're persisting with keeping Harrogate RA in "the top nine."

They're miles out of it and have no chance of making the play-offs.

Warrington and Mossley are much more relevant to any promotion discussion.

And I did say Warrington would come into contention, but was rubbished by a load of bitter fools. I enjoy being right.

Lets be honest, on current form we wont even make the playoffs. Looking at the table there are really only 6 teams going for the 5 spots available for champions and playoffs. Does anyone seriously think we will win 7, 8 or 9 games to be champions? or the 5 or 6 games to make sure of the playoffs?

I think making play offs is not an issue but the league may have gone.

If we do make the play-offs, I can't see us going into them with any confidence, unless our form changes markedly.

On current form we will miss out on the play offs, will finish about 7th..

I fully expect to be kicking off next season in evo 1 north at Heritage Park yet again.

We will make the play offs - the question is, have we got the necessary skill/attitude/guile/temperament to get through them?
