When you talk bollix, you inevitably get a bit of bollix back, enjoy the win.

And no, this isn't sustainable at all. We should enjoy this short stay at the top while it lasts before we come down to earth over the next four games.

You look at the 2 games against Fylde we were turned over, Hartlepool were better than us and we are yet to face the likes of Dover etc. Don't get me wrong its great to be in this position and be top of the league but I just hope we kick on.

I hope we get 2 quality strikers in january. We need strong, pacey strikers who are goos in the air and maybe another midfielder in my opinion if we are to go for it.

What do we all think?

Fair comments and I agree we need more strength and depth in our small squad. For now we can all enjoy the moment " We are top of the league"

What does pumped mean ? Beaten by 3 goals ?

Comfortably beaten. Think 2-0 which could have been 3 or 4. We just aren't set up to deal with a team that can actually score goals. Aldershot have scored the second most home goals in the league, we have scored the joint least away goals.

The boys have done fantastically well to get to this point but the next four games are going to test us and I can't see it going too well, the fact of the matter is we are overachieving and a playoff spot is the most we could have asked for.

A promotion challenge is definitely sustainable, whether its a title challenge will remain to be seen.

Still need that big number 9!

My tenner for BTB says we will not lose by 2 or more goals

Eh? Not set up to cope with a team that can score goals? We've got the best defence in the league, and take a minute to count all those lovely clean sheets.

We've already played Dover and Macc, and lost to each 1-0. Not sure who these high flying teams are we've avoided so far, we've played 21 games so there can't be many! Our losses to those 2 were in our first 5 games where we lost 3, but since then its 1 league loss in 16. That sort of consistency tells me our league position is sustainable. Boring boring Wrexham all the way if it gets us promoted.
