After earning ten points from four matches, it is sometimes easy to forget that we are playing in a higher division this season. I have never doubted that we would be competitive after making the step up, but you find it difficult not to pinch yourself after beginning the season in such a fashion that we have gone down to 18/1 to win the league this season. That was unimaginable a couple of weeks ago, but such has been our impact over the past two weeks, we are being talked about in the same category as teams such as Boston and Guiseley. I was unable to attend the Oxford game, but it appeared as though patience was the key. It could have also turned out differently had Wayne Riley not regained his composure after his earlier miss. In that situation, it could have been very easy for him to overthink his next chance, but he didn't, and the rest, as they say, is history. I imagine some of us were disappointed at coming away from Worcester City with just a point, but doesn't that show how far we have come as a club in the past couple of weeks? Before the season started, we would have been delighted to gain a point on the road, but after three victories on the spin, it could have been deemed as a slight letdown. I don't buy into that because I think that we are involved in a division where anyone can beat anyone. I can't see one team dominating like Chester did last year, and I can't see any team suffering seasons like Droylsden and Hinckley United did at the bottom. As far \?H[H???\??Y [?H ?[?
