Now we’ve well into January and I’m sure it was mentioned on a similar thread that there’s no point predicting until January.
It’d be interesting to know what people’s thoughts are on which clubs will achieve automatic promotion(which might be easier than which clubs win the playoffs). Unless there’s a massive choke and collapse, I’d suggest most would agree that Bishop Auckland will win the NL1. In NL2 it’s harder to make a definitive guess, but Blyth Town are in pole position and looking good. What’s people’s opinions about the playoff runners and riders in NL1 and promotion and playoff runners and riders in NL2?

Not to sure about Division 1 windy but as for Division 2 Blyth to win it and play offs Blue star Easington and Horden plus one other obviously. The one other is anyone's guess. Might turn into a bit of a lottery towards the end when teams are playing catch up. |

Easington a banker for me for at least a play off spot, got a great squad now and a very ambitious manager.

Does the second top team,perhaps Shildon, play off with
a team from the northern prem east, like last season ?

Another pointless thread .Bishop will win the league and move up through the leagues .I'm guessing we will be in the premier league in approximately 15 years !

I said very early season we (Bishops) would go on to win it at a canter once we got into the lead, I see no reason why that would change.
Shildon, Heaton, Redcar and Tow Law will make up the play offs.

Shildon, Heaton, Redcar and Tow Law will make up the play offs. Tow Law needs to go on a bit of a run to make the playoffs. It’s an outsider, but I like your optimism lol |

I think Bishops and Blyth will win their respective leagues. Probably comfortably too.
Div 1 play offs will be very interesting. Shildon will be in there. the rest could be picked from about 8 teams. Heaton Stan, Birtley and Whitley Bay would be my Picks. I wouldnt rule out Redcar however they are more than capbable of going on a good run and putting themselves in or around those top places. Same with Whickham who have a lot of games left to play, That may work against them though if they are playing 2/3 times a week come the back end of the season.
Div 2 i think is a bit easier, I think those in the play off spots now will stay there, Syners could be an outside bet, they have put some good results together but i think they might just fall short in the end. 6 weeks ago i would of said Blue star to win the play offs but recently i would say Easington. Picking up some great results against Blue Star and Horden.
Whatever happens im sure it will be an exciting end to the season in both divisions

Three possible dark horses on excellent runs to consider for a late bid for the 2nd Division play offs-
Newcastle University (6 wins out of their last 7 league games) with numerous games in hand over those above them due to doing well in cup competitions
Thornaby (6 wins and a draw in their last 7 league games)
Billingham Synthonia (7 wins and 3 draws in their last 10 league games)

More than capable of going on a long run of positive results. If they do make the playoffs I wouldn’t back against them |
