Fair play to the boys at the wrong end of the A140. I think they have done brilliantly to accrue so many points with the resources available - well done to the management for getting the club punching above its weight. I feel that they will slip back in the coming weeks/months but momentum and belief can take you a long way in a pretty even division.
Given what we have at our disposal we should be in and around the automatic promotion places all season - my personal opinion is that we are underperforming, conceding too many and not being ruthless enough in front of goal. If Adams got NCFC working as efficiently as MM is then we would win this league at a canter. He still might, it is early in his reign and like anyone else in a new role he will have lessons to learn.
I still think our ressies would give them a game simply because we have such a strong squad that the differential between our first and second XI's other than between the sticks is, IMO, pretty marginal.
