Could not have turned out better than if we had planned it ourselves.
Most of the pig awful away games have been played - Braintree, Dover, Maidstone, Barrow, Chesterfield - and we got points from them playing before winter.
Even better though. The xmas games will show us how good we really are. Great test. Just before the transfer window. And we have money to spend.
The luck has continued. The fat draw means that we have the chance to get out of it whilst leaving our main promotion rival still in it ( promotion is the aim isn't it?).
If this happens (key game) then on January 12th during the transfer window we will know that we have 17 games to play ( 8 home 9 away) in 105 days. That works out at a game every 6 days. That schedule gives plenty of recovery time for the players.
Also, would not need a big squad to cope with that fixture list. Can go for quality. This season is turning out to be our most realistic chance of promotion since the 98 point side - if we play it right and get control of our fixture list.
