Today's Games

[60YearsAPie]

Half-time and the main news is that Mansfield are losing 0-1 at Colchester, and MK Dons are down 1-2 at home to Stockport, who are beginning to climb the table after a slow start. Gillingham have scored twice for the first time this season to re-take top spot. The team to keep your eye on is Swindon who are leading 1-0 at half time and are currently in third place, with a game in hand.

Don't want to jinx it, but FGR are heading for a 5th home defeat in a row (that's every home league game this season) against a Doncaster side who have yet to win a game this season.

Sutton look like losing their 7th game in a row.

Stockport winning away at MKD. Going to have to start taking them very seriously now it seems.

“Stockport winning away at MKD. Going to have to start taking them very seriously now it seems”

Absolutely, they do seem to start slow but they have a real good manager and the funds to strengthen….as well as a good squad to start with. They were my favourites for the title.

It’s starting to feel a bit like last season, but with far more teams involved! It’s anyone’s guess who will actually go up, it’s going to be exciting but we’ve made a great start and giving ourselves a good chance of mounting a challenge.

October looks particularly nasty when we face the following…..

Swindon (h)
Barrow (a)
Mansfield (h)
Gillingham (a)
Newport (h)
Wrexham (h)

Those fixtures will give us a great idea of where we belong in this league, although the most difficult games are at home.

4 home games is a positive. 4 games against current top 7 sides. I’d say it’s a hum-dinger of a month.

Wrexham, like ourselves, still unbeaten after an opening day defeat in which they conceded 5 goals. They are away to Stockport next however.

FGR down in 21st but away from home they've taken 7 points from 9, so a potential banana skin for us next week. Losing at home to Doncaster is a terrible result for them though.

If we needed grounding a little I’ve only just realised that 7 of the 8 teams we have played are 15th or lower!

How will we fare against the upper half teams? October will tell us a lot.

Trust me to look at BBC… I stand corrected.

Trust me to look at BBC

They've just updated it to 1-2.
Never trust the BBC.
