On Saturday 13th January Walsall Wood play against Studley.  If Studley were to win and we beat Atherstone, we would travel to Walsall Wood the following week with the incentive of knowing that if we beat them then we will reduce the points dropped deficit to just one point . ie Walsall Wood will then have dropped 17 points compared to our 18 points.

Im hoping Walsall  Wood will get complacent and think they've already won it! I like it better when they are at the top and we are chasing them rather than the other way round. It will be interesting how our 3-2  win effected them, It was the first time I think that they had took the lead and then been pegged back. We did it twice and then went on to beat them. They also looked rattled by a team constantly attacking them. I presume it has not happened very often this season. I think I am more worried about RC Warwick their form is as good as ours!

Ok so tomorrow we need to beat Atherstone and if Studley can beat or hold Walsall Wood to a draw that would be brilliant. I'd prefer a Studley win but can't see that happening.  On Tuesday night Atherstone are away to Hinckley. Both teams could drop points in that one. Next Saturday is our biggest test; Walsall Wood away. Also next Saturday Leicester Road are home to Littleton and could drop points in that one and Racing Club Warwick are home to Studley and again both could drop points.
So I'm hoping for us to win and for drawn games when our rivals meet :

Ilkeston v Atherstone         -   Ilkeston win and Atherstone drop 3 points
Walsall Wood v Studley     -   Draw  :  Walsall Wood and Studley both drop 2 points
