Current form of the top 7 teams in the table for the past 5 games..

1. Macclesfield- W D W W W

2. Aldershot- L D W D W

3. Sutton- L L W L D

4. Dover- W D D D D

5. Wrexham- W L D D D

6. Bromley- D D L W W

7. Tranmere- W W W W L


looking at the five teams that are directly above Rovers in the table, they have collectively played a total of 25 games and only 7 wins within those 25 games, really sums up the strangeness of this season so far.

It's the one at the top that's the problem.

For the first time this season somebody has opened up a bit of a gap at the top. They're now there to be shot at, like Lincoln were last season, so it'll be interesting to see how they cope. I suspect they're nowhere near the level Lincoln were at last season, though admittedly I haven't seen them this season. Plus they've a small squad and teams like that usually fade a bit in the second half of the season.

Of course, many said the same kind of things about Leicester!!

Full respect to them for what they've done so far but, for now, I'm more bothered about what we do than what they do.

To be fair to Macclesfield, they’re in better form then us, and lost some of their best players last season, so fair play to them.

+1 I agree andy. They lost rowe to ipswich n norburn to rovers and have done well so far this season.. I think a good acquisition to their squad in the pre season was the keeper they got from wrexham. From what ive seen of jalal I reckon he is quite a decent keeper. I think maccs unsung hero is the veteran whitaker. Hope they start dropping points soon though.

Well I remember seeing Jalal play for Bournemouth against Tranmere at least once and he was one of the worst keepers I've ever seen. He must have found his level over the years...
