Top post. Nice to see some perspective on where we are at and the decision making process. We simply are not close enough to what has gone on re player retention etc. I honestly thought we would be mid table , maybe even lower, so putting up a spirited attempt to get into the top 4 is to be commended.

That's right. If we're honest, we all expected to be with the also-rans in mid-table, and maybe even getting drawn into a relegation battle. The 7 match winning run has put us in a better place than we imagined, but now that we're there we want more!

We have a very tough end to the season, but if we can win at least two of the games against the current top 4, then we have to be in with a chance of making the 4 ourselves. Remember, they have to play each other as well.

It would be good if we could show some more attacking flair, but we've got to where we are with a strong defence, and that's just what might see us through.

To be fair some of us expected us to be challenging for the top 4 like we are. Far too much talent at the club for us not to be. I thought anyone predicting relegation battles for us was just downright delusional.

Correct.

If we can consistently get our best 17 fully fit and on the field at the same time, we'll challenge anybody in this league

I think folk are forgetting how we all felt after the Batley game.

A lot of teams could say that.

Strength in depth - or lack of it - if a common problem in our division.

Agreed, and that's why, much as we all dislike it, that we have to utilise DR.

How did we manage without it?

A lot better, as a matter of fact.

Too true

An extract from the L/Exp match Report v London "Halifax were made to look what results suggest they are-a decent team who fall just short of top standard in this League" How true we are where we are not quite good enough and have never looked like being Champions since relegation.

Sad but true.
