4 points clear! :icon_cool
Looks like Hinckley might pull it out of the bag after getting 10 points in the last 4 games. Wish Leicester would put on a run similar.

Will mean Thomas saves his job for a while longer which isn't necessarily a step forward but good news all the same.

If you think one bad season in ten is pretty shit, then yes I suppose. :icon_conf

He's lost the plot there. Too well in with the owners though to get the boot.

Hinckley have been over performing relative to their budget for a number of years tbh and this season if they stay up is probably nearer their level. They have gone through a massive number of players since last summer (sounds like another team we all know) and that has seen them struggle, whereas they have now named the same line up for 4 matches running and as the last 2 results have shown that is begining to pay off.

Mostly Thomas' decision to get shot of the players that got them within 3 minutes of the conference though.

hmmm possibly, the big clear out last summer didnt do the continuity any good at all.

The bloke has shown himself up this season. He's dumped a number of players this season who have since gone on to better things. He got rid of Marrison whose now in double figures for Tamworth, he had a fall-out with Andy Brown which meant he went to Nuneaton and in August, got rid of the best player, Stevenson.
Then he dumped his best mate out of the assistant manager job, leaving him to carry the can. As previously mentioned he's far too 'in' with the Downes. Rumour says that in one board meeting - a majority of the board wanted Thomas Out, Downes said 'if Thomas goes, I go'.
This was always going to be difficult - a lot more bigger fish in the Conf North and more teams nearby Hinckley playing which means more teams competing for the same pool of players to choose from.

There have been a lot of changes over the course of the season, granted. But in the summer, there were only a handful of incomings and outgoings.
