So far so good.....

11th place , if the season was to finish now i think most would be happy with that result...

Ive been impressed with how well Harley , Gilly , Seabore & Matty Taylor have settled into the division without much fuss....

Is a playoff push out of the question ? if we get to Xmas time in a simular position adding a couple of quality players to the squad in a winger & a striker could see us push for a top 8 , playoff position IMO..

Will Tisdale gamble and go for it if were not far away ? or will he say he's happy with the squad and continue happy in the middle of the table...

Relegation was never on the cards this year with the point deductions so id like to think midtable would be a realistic target.

The squad has always been confident in a push for the playoff places...

My pre-season prediction was 10th. Having had matches against several "top" sides already, to sit 11th is great.

Playoffs are not beyond the realms of possibility.

I don't think a play-off place is beyond our reach. We've had a look around, the players will have come to realise that players in this league are no better than them and that collectively they are as good, if not better than most (other than a silly 20 mins at Bradford) and so I see no reason that the results shouldn't improve further.

I remember the days of Peter Fox and the expectation then was always that we could reach the play-offs in this league when quite frankly we were crap. This team is much better than that.

Indeed. There may not be a "u" but there's an "n" in Seaborne.

Like he said last January? No ambition;)

I don't see much wrong with the way we have been playing so far this year. If our strikers can start scoring regularly then the only way is up!

Having said that I'm sure Tis is always looking to improve our squad,personally I would start at right back.

I am happy with progress. We don't appear out of place back in the league and we are well pressed to push on.

Good progress is being made
