So it looks like we could do with a couple of our 'local' rivals doing us a favour tonight. If Torquay and Forest Green can beat Halifax and Woking respectively, then that league table will look a lot more promising. Even a couple of draws would suffice. The Festive period is massive for us, with home games against Gateshead, Macclesfield and home and away v Torquay, all potentially having a big effect on the promotion shake-up. If we can beat Gateshead and Macclesfield, and come away with 2pts or more from the Torquay games, we'll be in excellent shape come the new year.

Well it's happening at the moment. Making things a bit tight at the top.

Get the f**k in FGR and Turkey, that's helped. But tight as a . . .

It is tight but don't forget that Forest Green are due the three point deduction, so there is for the moment, in effect, a bit of a gap between those in and out of the play offs. We need a couple more results to go our way tomorrow (eastleigh not winning would be nice) but the main thing is we have to string a couple of wins together and then it will look a whole lot better.

It's a marathon not a sprint though isn't it. I can see Macclesfield winning it with us Barnet Grimsby and someone else in the play offs.

Southport beating Gateshead away. That would be an excellent result for us.

I know Barnet have been clear for a while. I just think that while they go out to win every game a bit hung ho and it's worked for them up until now that way might be their undoing. We're solid hard to beat , not great but still right up there , if you look at Maccs goals for and against so are they. I can see Barnet losing a few and going on a bad run at some point . "Attack wins games defence wins titles "as Sir Alex once said.

"Attack wins games defence wins titles "as Sir Alex once said. Fair enough. I can't see Barnet not winning it. They were my tip pre season so would be silly to desert them now! My only doubt would possibly be if Martin Allen left.

My only doubt would possibly be if Martin Allen left. Fair enough. It's also interesting that half of their goals have been scored by two players. If one of those was to get injured or sold then they might struggle. Where as we don't have a top scorer our goals have come from all over and will probably continue to. Maybe I need to pay mr Akinde a visit with my blow torch and my baseball bat ?!

Happy if macc win, start putting some pressure on barnet. Gap needs to close or they will start believing the hype that currently surrounds them,
