Another win for Torquay this week, starting pull away from the relegation zone - and a little run now may well push us up into the play-offs.

[mrbojangles]

Rochdale drew at Crewe this weekend. Still top for the moment though.

[rijit]

looks as though its going to be tough xmas

tough one at southampton hardly suprising a 3 -1 loss

next up gillingham at home bit early to call a match a six pointer, but !!!

[mrbojangles]

Another cracking result for the Mighty Dale

Rochdale 4 -1 Morecombe

So where are the Trick trees this weekend? Must be loving it seeing Direby struggling.

The Tricky Trees are quietly extending their unbeaten run -16 games now, and 5 clean sheets in a row.

Tough away games in January at WBA and Sheepshaggers.

No game for the millers in 3 weeks now due to the snow, but weve still managed to stay 3rd. 3 games in hand on the leaders Rochdale and we play them next (hopefully).

It's in tropical Rochdale, so the game will be on

I think you're 12 points behind but 3 games in hand. I'd sooner have the points in the bag but it will still be a bit of a crunch match.

[Macclad]

Macclesfield Town 4 Crewe Alexandra 1

An excellent 3 points for the Silkmen to add to the useful point they got at Shrewsbury on Boxing Day.

10 points clear of next to bottom Grimsby now with a game in hand.

Totally agree with you about the points in the bag, should be a good game and one of them old proverbial 6 pointers!!!

It's a freak cold snap for Rochdale, that is. Probably a cold front coming in from Yorkshire. Hope it doesn't damage too many of our Palm Trees

A Tropical rochdale, LOL

[Xangsamhua]

Notts County vs Forest Green 3rd round cup tie postponed to 12 January owing to frozen pitch.

Had forgotten away versus WBA was a Friday game.

What a result !!

Should be safe from relegation now

[rijit]

3 -1 defeat at Norwich and yet another reasonable yet toothless display and nothing to show for it but the warm appreciation of tne norwich fans for a display of 'nice' football

Next up leeds at home!!!!

[chavy]

What a win for us at WBA Now 2nd & flying !! oh poor old Direby !!

Yeah, I reckon we could be watching Forest on Turdvisions regularly next season at this rate. Time soon for a football and beer night in Kanchanaburi!!

Oh joy !! At last, quality viewing !! Reading this weekend.....anothe 3 points to add to the already buldging points bag

[rijit]

Exeter v Leeds Another huge test for us, Really cant see us getting anything from this one. All the leeds players will be well up 4 it, playing for a place against spurs the next ish game for them, I do believe. But u never know, we but live in hope.

Oh perchance to wist away the day

Well done Exeter City anyway

[Moonrakers]

Swindon 3 - 1 Pikey F.C.

Looking stronger contenders for the play-offs as each game passes. Charlie Austin scores yet again, 8 in 8 for him now.

[chavy]

I hear on the grape vine that Charlie Austin is on Billy "no mates' Davies radar !!!

Another 3 points on saturday from "Reeding" Next weekend is an R&R day followed by QPR's visit to the CG. I think by then they'll be on their 25th manager this season. Oh Bernie ! what's happening???

[thaimiller]

Anybody know when the winter break in the fourth division finishes?

[Moonrakers]

Stockport 0 - 1 Swindon Town

There was only one team in this game, and they lost.

A scrappy, untidy game on a shoddy pitch in which bottom of the table Stockport dominated but couldn't find the net.

Swindon now up to 5th.

had to look twice at that result this morning TM i thought Darlo were definite easy pickings?

[mrbojangles]

Rochdale threw away their lead 3 minutes from time at Aldershot. Still top though by 6 points
