I'd like to stay ahead of Boro, even better if they just fall off. It's clearly better if it requires 2 teams to go on an unbelievable run to catch us rather than just 1.
We've supposed to have suffered a wobble recently yet we still sit at the top of the form table over the last 6 games. We've only lost 2 out of 21 games.

So with this in mind if we win 3 lose 3 in the next 6 games a side 3rd or lower that hasn't been able to put a run together would have to win 6 out of 6 games to still be at least 3 points and GD behind us. That's more or less a quarter of the remaining games gone as well. Can't see it myself.

I said from the start they'd last the course. They've recruited well and I expect them to strengthen in January.

Luckily we have what is effectively a 6 point lead over them and they've still got to come to the CBS
Hackney turning down Ipswich even though the club accepted the offer, the limited Rob Edwards walking out... things have fell in to place for them a little bit.

They will need to offload or deregister players first as they have a full squad. That may not be straight forward

It's a well run club, as I said to @Kris_Boro a while ago let's fend off the parachute teams and go up together. Obviously want to win the title given our start but promotion without going through the playoffs will be the best sporting day of my life regardless.

They do like to sell in Jan, i can't see them doing it this time however, that would be mental. I also think we will dip into the market more then them which will hopefully lift us further ahead.

A big bid could come in for Hackney I suppose but it would need to be ridiculously high for them to consider it. Edwards trading that job for Wolves is about one of the worst managerial switches I can think of, proper lunacy on his part.

In any case I agree, we'll be strengthening more than any other side around us next month (hopefully).
