    Need some socks pulling up then. On current form we are on track to 42 points. We got 4 points in the last 6 games.

    January will put our season on an upwards trajectory. We'll be comfortably mid table this season.

    Just looking at the form table and if current form doesn't improve we will be relegated along with Colchester, Crawley & Yeovil

    As MK states January could see us safe but having just viewed the fixture list there's some tough games coming up.

    Make or Break time

    I can't even contemplate relegation, it just isn't something I think is possible.

    21st position (last rellegation spot) for the last 5 seasons L1

    2013/14 Tranmere 47 points
    2012/13 Scunny 48 points
    2011/12 Wycombe 43 points
    2010/11 Dagenham 47 points
    2009/10 Gillingham 50 points.

    In non of those years was goal difference needed to decide either. So to that end I would say get 51 points and a team is safe.

    We are halfway to that requirement... and just under halfway through the season.

    I do not think relegation will be an issue for us. I also do not believe we will finish in the bottom 8 . I reckon a middle 8 position will be what we will end up with.

    But next season IF we are not in the top 8 then I will be a bit annoyed.
