Top 5 Predictions

Post by Diamond Warrior »

As we have had almost 20 games into the season now, how do you think the top 5 will fair up, come the end of the season?
Do you think Newport and Fleetwood will hold onto their places in the play offs, or will we, Wrexham or maybe even Grimsby replace them?

Tbh, it really is difficult to say at this stage. A gap hasn't really begun to form and there are a number of teams coming into form.

I do believe the likes of Crawley, Luton and Wimbledon may stay the course, and I do believe that we are capable of being there at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if Newport and Fleetwood can stay the course or being in the mix.

Whilst Fleetwood have the financial backing that may see that happen, they have both only just been promoted so it is possible that some of their players may take their feet off the gas, similar to what happened to Wimbledon towards the end of last season.

Retaining Rene Howe will be a key point in January. One man doesn't make a team, but he has been an important player for us and I have a feeling he could be more so if we are able to extend his loan to the end of the season.
