Ilkeston’s Derbyshire Senior Cup win at Clay Cross gives them a boost going into the Leek "six pointer". After 12 matches without a win, we’ve now won three on the bounce under Ryan Hindley. Leek come into the match following a 4-1 defeat at Guiseley. 

Ilkeston last 3 matches
Avro (H)             won 2-0 
Hyde  (H)           won 1-0
Clay Cross (A)   won 3-1

Leek last 3 matches
Bury  (A)        lost  3-5
Curzon (A)     lost  1-2
Guiseley (A)  lost  1-4
  
But Leek aren’t a bad side, They’re very capable of winning and have scored 31 goals in the league so far. They’ve been involved in some high scoring games:
Bamber Bridge (H)    won  4-1
Avro (A)                   drew  4-4
Workington  (A)        lost   2-3
Redcar (A)                lost   2-3
Rylands (H)             drew  3-3
Bury (A)                    lost   3-5
Guiseley (A)             lost   1-4

We’re only a 1/3 of the way into the season but we’ve gone from looking like relegation certs to having a chance to survive.

Fantastic post mate.

The table you have put up is what I was talking about to Chris rix. No point of thinking about the play offs. Let's have this as our mini league.

I'm saying 33 more points and we will be safe
