So October's almost upon us, a month where our form has tended to dip in recent years. Looking at the fixtures we have coming up, that little stat won't be easy to turn around
Eastleigh a
Cheltenham a
Grimsby h
Dover h
Lincoln a
Macclesfield h
All those are either up there, in form, or bogey sides. I think if we can get 7 points or more from October then we'd have done well

I was thinking the same thing on Saturday braintreeboy, so it was even more disappointing to lose that game. 18 points up for grabs, 9 would be a good effort. I think that we always look difficult to score against and look good on the counter. It will certainly give us a true reflection of how we are progressing and where we should be aiming to finish in the league.

slight Shame Lincoln n macc are both in that 6 as our record against both are pretty tragic. Though like 4whatitsworth sais we are made of iron n maybe we need these type of fixtures against the big teams as we normally raise our game against them.
I think if we can muster 2 wins and 2 draws from those 6 matches that would be an unusually successful October, especially given who we are up against

It's good to see some realism creeping in on here instead of the usual gung-ho stuff And I see Danny was on the same tack in the B&WT this week. I agree: two wins and two draws would be an excellent return

What an incredible start we've had with these difficult run of October fixtures. The Cheltenham result and performance i value even higher than the Eastleigh one 4 points achieved out of my personal target of 8 for this month bring on Grimsby and make that 7! I know we can |

A well earned point against the Mariners given the injuries. 5 points and unbeaten so far. Be great to squeeze a tight win against an In form Dover, which would then ensure an excellent points hall for the month before we even play the 2 bogeys.

Excellent result yet again, the boys played their socks off n made everyone proud. My target for the team well n truly achieved. Before this month started I always thought 2 wins and 2 draws from the whole of October would have been great, the fact we've done it with 2 games to go (albeit against the 2 bogeys) is sublime |

one of those 2 wins achieved, get in!
