And the two that go up this year will struggle next season.

No surprise we were poor as Johnson playing Little wide left . He is as bad as Andrews is when he plays left back. Andrews should have come on at half time. thank you Danny Wright for getting us a win.

I don’t necessarily agree with that. Think it just goes to show the influence of crowds. If the grounds were open to fans we would see different results and the ‘fancied’ teams would probably be doing ok. Plainmoor with a good crowd in is a hard place to come for some opposition. So carry this forward to the league above next season and it could be different. History would seem that teams that get promoted usually do ok?

Could Moxey not play left midfield until Whitfield return. He's left footed, a great passer, very calm and assured and always looks for a sensible ball. If there's a reason he's at our level now it's age and pace, so it could even be a safer bet than left back. He may have a killer pass for the strikers in him, but we haven't had a chance to see. If he can't last a full game, he could always do half or an hour

Most of the fans seem to be saying the same thing, Randell and Little (especially) don't look comfortable in wide positions.
We seem better with Randell in the middle and though I'm not a great Andrews fan ( because of his lack of work rate, sometimes casual approach and lack of pace, he has done quite well lately linking with Law and delivers a great ball which with Wright back will be a great plus.
I don't think Little warrants a place right now. It will hopefully suit us and Kimpioka better at Wrexham as they will come at us.
Why does Connor slip and fall over so much ? It's like watching Benyon. Covolan is playing well and you feel confident when crosses come over, Ben Wynter doesn't seem himself, rather ponderous, I'd like to see him bombing forward with a bit more positivity. Wrights presence is simply a big lift for the team. I'm sure Kimpioka will come good when the team starts playing with more fluidity.

If Moxey is available he has to play centre half as he is obviously left footed. sherring and Lewis are right footed too. Lewis does ok but again he isnt right footed. Also in the last couple og games with Andrews playing well we have had the argyle loanee going forward and linking with Andrews well. today he had our best playmaker , right footed in front of him

Wynter is returning from injury and maybe a little off the pace still. Further, Sherring and Lewes are not ball playing centre back as Camaron is. So Wynter is playing deeper to help ball playing out from the back.

Without Whitefield and Nemane the team shape has been asked to adapt. Therefore two wide midfielders are needed. We question Little, Randell and Evens; but ask yourself when posting who you would play there! We simply can't magic up another wide player.

We are still in the top three, moving nicely towards the end of the season and still have lots to play for.

Couldnt watch today due to work but a good win

Was surprised to see Andrews on the bench, maybe just a rotational rest but he needs to start as much as possible out wide, little is clearly not up to it!

if we could get Whitfield and Cameron back and keep this winning run going we will then have to wait and see where we end up!

Looking down the table, if any of the four teams below us end the season with a good run they could overtake us for third place. If our form collapses we may not even make the play offs at all.

Looking up, we have three games in hand over Hartlepool, are still to play Sutton, whose form has slipped a little.

We could easily finish anywhere from about eighth to top.

Even if we're not playing well and the opposition wasn't the best, three wins in the last four games has kept us in the race and that rate of return would probably see us promoted.

Opposition not the best. All 3 matches we won were at home against clubs in the lower half of the table, with nothing to play for, as there is no relegation this season. We still have an awful lot to do, if we want one of those top 3 places.
