Happy to pay one way or another- especially another as it means we have made the play offs

It was congratulations on a plain answer 👍😂

The window is still open.

There's still scope for movement.

There're still plenty of points to play for.

And I'm enjoying watching my team regardless of where the season takes us...

After that I wish I?d said Yes.

Maybe. Just maybe?

[Brookie]

Might just be beyond us but it won’t be for the lack of trying, unfortunately we are very dependent on results of others

[warfey is a spireite]

I’ll take a nice end to the season and 10th place after all the injury adversity we’ve had this season

8 wins from 10 and we’ll be in the playoffs! And the bottom 6 to play:…… maybe just maybe

Maybe, you never know...

If we do get in the play offs, we will have the momentum to do well

Wor I'd like is for us and Notts to win all our matches thereby conceding 1 promotion place to them whilst seeing them hammer all our other adversaries that they still have to play. They are the best team in the division, the one I'd least like to meet at Wembley.

[Tha Knows...]

Doubt they'd want to play us either

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Perspective.

Yes this division is a week-to-week a step up from the National League - you're far more likely to be punished for cock-ups you'd get away with there - but it's still pretty ordinary.

Look how we've performed against high flying outfits even deprived of most our squad.

Then there's such as Colyoo pushing for the play offs.

We've also a number of relegation battlers to come to ours'.

Confidence is high, players to return and absolutely nothing to lose.

Bradford at Easter will be massive...

[Westbars Spireite]

We'll also likely have GD advantage over others which could be worth an extra point if it comes to it.

They are nothing without Jatta and especially McGoldrick who make them tick. Love to play them if either (or both ) were missing.

I don't see any real difference in the general standard of play although as you say a lot of teams can punish you because they have the odd player with serious ability.

As well has some of the dross we have lost to there's the matter of Bromley coasting it. All this suggests the step of in quality is not that great and I would expect the top half of the NL to survive comfortably in this league with a bit of strengthening as always happens when clubs step up a league.

Having a resurgence at this stage is encouraging and exciting for our fans but I personally think it’s may be a step too far.

On the subject of our fans, I can only stand in awe of them. Over Christmas we were in dire straights and our losing run was hard to take but the fans (most of them) have understood the predicament we’ve been in and continued to support in a way I haven’t seen for a long time. It’s easy to be singing when you’re winning but the old saying ‘support through thick and thin’ as been so evident this season.

We have an incredible fan base and long may it continue.

I think there is more pace in L2, the fitness levels seem higher, possibly helped by being able to make more substitutions than National League and thereby having a larger squad of players to rotate/pick from…?

I think also players ‘first touch’ is better?

The standard of officiating is definitely no better though….!

Bradford home to Col U next week

Could be 4 behind with a game in hand
