I know there are definite camps out there but let's just go along with the idea of a competitive prediction, including a surprise forecast amongst the overall picture.
I'm in the 'plodding' group and I forecast that we'll scrape 21 points from the following 15 games (which will see us safe by the end of March). I also see us completing the double over Sutton. We will continue to draw a lot.
Any takers?

The fact we have not had a competitive game for a few weeks is a concern as any slight momentum we had has been lost add to the fact the new players will need competitive game time to get up to speed could mean we gain the art of losing by circumstance our squad is painfully small and we are going to end up relying on players we would rather not play because we have no choice. All that being said fortunately and amazingly there are enough teams not as good as us this season so I predict 16th place in what will be a very disappointing season.
