Not the best start to a season.
Then we lost Bobby and did ok, then we lost white and not having a adequate replacement. The best we could do is Gethin Jones (who I rate) who has only played 3 games before joining us 2 or 3 days before the window shut. Then we've had to sign players on frees after the window shut. Again they had barely played.
We did ok after this. Still fighting at the top.
When opponents start pressing our defenders they go long. We don't have the personnel to deal with this, we had Rose but then he got injured so we had no plan B anymore who could at least challenge for the long balls.
We had had other injuries. Craig Davies did ok and tried playing though a foot problem which meant he was only at 80% fit from the start of a game. Nicky Ajose, again got injured and while he wasn't a scorer he was good at bringing others into play. Jordan Graham, only a kid and got injured just before our striker crisis.
We still have a striker crisis. Hamilton has been a winger/wing-back and put up front to avoid isolating Walker. He's not done too badly but had any other strikers been fit cj probably wouldn't even be up there at all.

Been unlucky with injuries to be fair, Ojenik and White staying fit I reckon we would be a lot closer to Lincoln.

We are actually still in a good position.

Agree VP. We only need 4 points to guarantee promotion providing MK don’t win by a cricket score on Saturday. I would rather win Saturday and leave MK needing to beat us on the last day than the other way around!
That said Stevenage will be a tough game as they are still in with a shout of the last play off spot and I’m sure they’d enjoy spoiling the party as much as Oldham did!
