I believe we will make it to the play-offs and then we'll have a good chance of promotion back to the Conference, to meet poolie who will get relegated this season.

Drawing at Worcester, Gainsborough and Alfreton - don't think so. We've actually got a very favourable run-in. Plus anything could happen on the final day at Salford.

I have said all season that something was going to ride on the final game at Salford and I still think that is going to stand. If that is the case looking at the way they are knocking up their ground at least we might be able to take a few more fans.

Without getting too carried away or looking too far ahead if we can get something from the Harrogate home game next weekend we could be in with a decent shout. The next four after that are all very doable fixtures. Altrincham, Worcester City, Stalybride and Brackley are all bang out of form at the minute.

Personally I think it might be settled before the Salford game on the final day of the season.

Looking at the Salford video , Stalybridge played really well, quite solid at the back and lively on the break so no pushover.Also Altrincham have strengthened in the last couple of weeks and are not shipping goals like they were so we have to be on our game, but will still settle for our remaining fixtures over our rivals.We have strong characters and a great team spirit so still confident we will make the playoffs.

We have a decent run in, so we've got a chance of getting in the playoffs. We seem to have become a bit more solid, which will certainly help!

I've got a feeling Salford will finish 2nd and we will finish 5th. So we could be playing them 3 times inside 2 weeks...

Plays would be a great achievement and would certainly give us something to look forward to as the season draws to a close. I feel we are just a little vulnerable at the back to make that final step up this season. Looking to next season York City are in big trouble and are in real danger of dropping down to our league next year, now that would be a proper away day like the days of old.

I can see Worcester going down. Financial problems, Hughes leaving to go to Telford

Darlo have a really good run in.

On paper.

Football isn't played with paper.

Defence has a bigger chance of getting a grip with the new system.

We have players who can score (2nd highest scores in this level and above).

Best get behind the lads and see what they can achieve this time.

The same website also predicts Poolie to stay up...It certainly did yesterday morning

3 clean sheets in the next 4 games if you look at the predicted results!

Who on here used to post the entertaining review/ prediction thread after each game.

Where they looked at who had who to play and predicted the final legal table?

It was always an entertaining read

It might be that he doesn't rate our chances, or that there are too many variables at this time, as the last 2 seasons he was merely commenting on a 2 horse race.
