It is starting to look like the top 6 are pulling away from the rest of the division, Stockport hold a 3pt gap ahead of Luton in 7th, 5 of the top 6 have a game in hand and Barnsley in 8th have 3 games in hand!

That said, Burton currently beating 5th place Stevenage away.

Hunt deserved to be sacked for drawing at home to Donny and looking shite while doing it, they are atrocious and already 3-1 down to Plymouth. Hoping this isn't any indication of how Plymouth will be on Boxing Day.

Plymouth on track for 3 wins in a row whilst Doncaster in serious trouble given how well they started the season. Failing to beat them definitely a sackable offence.

Vale getting cut adrift and Doncaster dropping like a stone. I think that'll be 2 of the bottom 4. Won't try to guess the other 2.

Only dropped one place, and that game was last night. Boxing day looking like a big game now.

Looking at form, Rovrum, Mansfield and Wimbledon really struggling right now.

Rotherham and Mansfield seem to have had a difficult run of fixtures (they've got Bolton and Barnsley away on Boxing Day respectively), so it's hard to tell whether their form will pick up once they get an easier run.

Sides like Wimbledon; Doncaster; and Burton just seem to be returning (or have returned) to their true position after good/decent starts. On the flip side, Plymouth; Peterborough; and Blackpool appear to be moving towards their true positions too - just in the other direction.

Very bizarre set of results today, with none of the top eight winning (albeit Lincoln and Huddersfield played each other). We're now six points off the play-offs; five points above the relegation zone.

This Division is so tight, that any team (bar Port Vale who despite yesterdays win look doomed) that strings 3 or 4 wins together are right into the play off mix...the squad depth is going to be key going into the 2nd half of the season; you could see Burton were struggling with their injuries on NYD and that could happen to anyone.

Should imagine it’s very positive and full of supportive comments towards the players and management.
