I predicted at the start that I think/hope we come about 5-9th! We keep exceeding those predictions so far and it's fantastic. I know there's many games to come and there will be some twists and turns in the season. My prediction is still pretty much the same but perhaps a 3-7th finish now lol!
And you're absolutely right not to get carried away because some of our performances since the five game unbeaten start to the season have not been good and we have relied on a very solid defence and a decent keeper (except for some of his kicking
) to ensure that we have the best defensive record in the division.
As somebody said in a previous post, when you keep clean sheets you always have a chance of nicking a winner which is exactly what we did yesterday evening.
What is impressive however is the attitude and togetherness of the players and if that can be maintained I can see no reason why we can't be very close to the top 2 at the end of the season, and it would be very disappointing if we fail to make the play-offs from the position we are in now.
January is important as I think that with just one or two quality additions (midfield and up front) we could really be in a position to challenge at the business end of the season.
