    Christmas table L1

    Not doing bad really to say we’ve been all over show on pitch.
    Bit surprised at Blackpool dropping
    Surprised to see Rovers there

    Top ten

    1 Wycombe - 43
    2 Ipswich - 37
    3 Oxford - 36
    4 Peterborough - 36
    5 Rotherham - 35
    6 Bristol R - 35
    7 Fleetwood - 34
    8 Portsmouth - 34
    9 Coventry - 34
    10 Blackpool - 33

    Sunderland are 15th, what’s happening with them, thought they might have been doing a lot better tbh

    Don’t think many will be surprised with bottom three

    21 MK Dons - 18
    22 Southend - 8
    23 Bolton - 6

    Yep if we can put a run together it’s there for the taking.

    Crazy really. Owt like decent home form and we'd be top of the league and probably about 1/6 for automatic promotion. Tbh I think we'll make the top 2 or be extremely close to it.

    No doubt about it that automatic promotion is a real possibility .

    Some of the first half of the season front runners are starting to feel the pace , Ipswich have dipped and I'm not convinced by Wycombe by any means .

    Peterborough looked to be emerging from the pack only to get beat at home by Donny yesterday who've hardly won a game of late .

    Portsmouth were 14 points in front of us last season at this stage and didn't even make the play off final .

    Both ourselves Luton and Charlton really pushed on in the second half of the season and had long unbeaten runs and I feel the millers will need to do the same .

    I'm not entirely convinced that over 90 points will be required this season either for automatic promotion , possibly 85 maybe enough .

    Anyone with 90 plus points will be champions in my opinion .

    Yes the table looks okay but, it's a false picture as we've played 1, 2 even 3 games more than some of the teams around us. Let's hope they draw or lose their games in hand.

    It's all in the mix and it's really anyone from the top 10. Before a ball was kicked this season I had us and Pompey to finish in the top two, looking good at the moment now Pompey have caught up. Be amazing if we went up considering the hardships we've had to put up with so far.

    One can only hope our second half of the season really kicks into gear and we can put a stamp on things going forward.

    2 games less than normal so point tally will probably be lower than previous seasons, by about 1/23 I'd estimate

    Yes it’s a shortened league so currently we are half way through it.

    So far we’ve lost 7 so double that up and with 14 defeats that’s usually a finish outside the top 6

    Last season Luton only lost 6 all season, Barnsley lost 7

    So we can still do ok but we really need a better second half.
