- Two leaders on 80 points.
- Two points separating the top four.
- Three points separating the top five.
- Eight points separating the top eight.
After *42* games.

National League South this season is ridiculous.
With 6 games to go, the top five are separated by just THREE points, and seven points cover the top seven.

This was 5 years ago yesterday. We were 17th.
Imagine telling Villa fans that in the next 5 years...
🟣 We'd beat Liverpool 7-2
🔵 Sell Grealish for £100m
🟣 Sign Coutinho and Rashford
🔵 Get Unai Emery as manager
🟣 Finish in the top 4
🔵 Qualify for the CL last 16

The National League South remains incredibly tight.
After almost two-thirds of the season, just three points separate the top seven teams.
There's something in the sea air for Torquay, Worthing, Eastbourne Borough and Weston-super-Mare.

Villa's last 10 games - 3 wins, 2 draws, 5 defeats - puts them 16th in form table (same points as "crisis clubs" Spurs and Man Utd).
Two goals conceded per game, same as Southampton. Only Leicester have a worse defensive record in that time.
They are our next opponents.
