The recall of any player by their parent club and the transfer window will have a big influence, my gut feeling say`s will will not finish in the top 3 but will make the play off`s, (the county way as always been the hard way)

What do you all think.

Happy New Year one and all.

Firstly we must batter Southend
Regardless of who goes we have a decent squad.
Popping it in the net a bit more often given our chances and we should be in playoffs
Lot of strong teams knocking on the door

Interesting question this and with Cooper,Twine, Janneh, Devitt, Webb and Aaron Lewis all subject to a possible recall to parent clubs this month it remains to be seen how it might leave the squad looking. Time will tell I suppose. But good question.

I think we'll tail off but will finish top 7.

Dont think cooper will be re called, lewis webb and janneh dont offer us anything we hav'nt already got so no great loss, but if twine goes i hope flynny can keep hold of devitt as he is a natural replacement, but we will have to bring in another AM and 2 strikers i would be prepared to bite my tongue and bring in ched evans on a short term contract his goals would be the difference in us getting promoted or not.

Do we ever enjoy a successful December/Jan? I think we'll continue in our dip then, when the snowdrops start to bloom we'll recapture our mojo and arrest the slide.

We'll hopefully squeeze into the playoffs. Automatic promotion would surprise me though County have surprised me already this season so why not, eh?

Just hope we don't come down with the Christmas lights

Bristol City have recalled several players from loan spells at other clubs and thats players who were getting game time whilst being loaned out.
I can see them recalling both of their players we have because they have have limited game time whilst with us

I think we will have a more realistic idea at the end of the transfer window. How many will be recalled? Haven’t heard any rumours yet. We need to get some good results in whilst these players are with us. How will our rivals strengthen?

Don’t think it will be automatic promotion but you never know. Play offs? Wembley again maybe. I’m just trying to enjoy the fact that we are top on NYD. Long may it last. Got to get some more wins soon though.

Edit. Damn, just saw the news about Twine. I think the odds for promotion just lengthened.

With Twine gone I see a slide because we’re going to miss his goals and runs into the box. Let’s hope Flynn can bring in someone who can find the net.

I'm going for 10th, very close at the top and other teams starting to hit form.

Top 3

It will become increasingly tight at the top as form ebbs and flows - transfer window and form into Easter will for me dictate either automatic promotion or play off place.
Shame about Twine but the team this season does not rely on one player and I am sure Flynn has it covered either Devitt or a replacement. What we could do with is a forward hitting form.

On one hand we’ve had a tricky patch but we’re still top.

On the other hand our cushion of points has gone and we could easily drop out of the automatic places quite quickly.

On my third hand I don’t see any outstanding sides in the division so why not us in the top 3 come the end.

With Twine gone I hope Devitt can be a decent replacement. If only we could find a 20 goal striker then I would be much more confident!

Add Proctor to your list.
