So I've just glanced at the league two tables for the first time this season. Could spell trouble for us if we fail to get out of the conference on the first run because teams like Tranmere and Oxford are bottom and I think they'd be stiffer competition that the current lot, especially after we lose our league funding. Scary.

Woodards, Gill and Richards back!? See gill and Richards have helped drag them bottom. Tranmere were doing well until woodards got injured.

There's such a long way to go, it's pretty pointless looking at the league tables now.
Wycombe were 9th this time last season, for example. Accrington were 5 points adrift at the bottom.

Scary. Why? How many teams have gone straight back up at the first time of asking? I guess Tranmere were always a good bet to get relegated seeing as they signed 3 of our cast offs, all of which struggled to make our team last season.

I don't think Oxford will stay down there. They have too many decent players to get them out of trouble and dare I say it, they are too big to be down there!

I thought the OP was going to ask who Wycombe have managed to go from avoiding relegation on the last game of the season to presently be top!
Anyway why are Tranmere & Oxford going to find it any easier to get out of the Conference than us and the likes of Grimsby etc?
Odd how a few weeks ago fans were questioning why NH allowed the new owner of Oxford join them rather than us, it seems like Turley we might have had a lucky escape!

Yes, Darrell Clarke seems to be getting a lot of these decisions right. Too many to just say he is lucky, he seems to make good calculated calls on the whole and I hope NH trusts him if he feels he needs to strengthen.

I'm wondering that as well actually. It's just everyone was making a big deal about how Lincoln and Grimsby were going to be difficult because they were recent established league clubs but we've beaten both and they're mid table. Tranmere and Oxford seem to me to be teams with similar sized fanbases (these days) to us. Tranmere were in the second tier much more recently too. Just shooting the sh** 'til the England game comes on really.

Could anyone have predicted what happened to our ex-players who went to tranny?
This season....
Richards: 13(2) Appearances, 1 Goal - Lately has spent most of the time on the bench. Flashes of occasional brilliance then goes missing.
Gill: 9 Appearances, 0 Goals, 0 Assists - Sideways passes. Ineffectual.
Woodards: 5 Appearances - Currently injured.

I think back to that tearful interview after Mansfield last season, when DC was so scathing about "certain players" not giving their all as footballers. I think he is as determined as he can be that anyone coming in will be truly competitive. If they're here, but not ready, they're not getting in the team.
