With 10 games left in the regular season, Town's last 10 league games have seen us win 6 but lose 4 (18 points out of 30 max.). To have a chance of actually sneaking the Conference title at the death, a better record than that is required, although 6 wins would almost certainly ensure the playoffs. (Things are made difficult to work out by Halifax, Eastleigh, and Gateshead having more than 10 games left...perhaps something to due with postponements, eh?)
A quick comparison: the others in the Top 5: their form in their last 10 Conference games: Bristol Rovers w 7 d 3 l 0 (24/30) Barnet w 5 d 1 l 4 (16/30) Macclesfield w 6 d 1 l 3 (19/30) Forest Green w 7 d 3 l 0 (24/30)
Back to the Depth Chart, the most recent changes are Winfarrah and Watson out, on loan, so possibly to return to April's D.C.. Each featured yesterday, for Scarborough and Gainsborough respectively. Also, Clay and Mackreth seem to have become definite starters, and the order of striker preference has varied a bit - Hurst seems to prefer Pittman to Jolley, but Palmer to both, when fit.
