As October moves towards November who would of thought that last season's bottom club would be in second place. Incredibly if Waltham Forest win their game in hand over current table topper's Grays Athletic they could even go top in their own right. Looking at the bottom of the table you can see two of the teams that were fancied to do well hovering above the drop zone. There is a still long much football to be played but fans of AFC Sudbury and Maldon and Tiptree will certainly be looking for their respective clubs to climb the table now they have exited the FA Cup.

How close the league currently is illustrated by the fact only 12 points separate Grays Athletic and Soham Town Rangers in eighteenth place. It looks like any team putting together a good run of results can move up towards the top five.

ENFIELD TOWN'S RECORD - COMPARISON
          P  W D L GF GA  GD  PTS 
2009/10   12 7 4 1 24 14 +10  25
2010/11   12 6 0 6 21 15 + 6  18
2011/12   12 5 5 2 25 18 + 7  20

Enfield Town find themselves nicely placed in fourth position on twenty points which is an improvement on last season's first 12 games as shown below. Those figures don't include the two Leyton games which were expunged from the record books from 2010/11.

Grays Athletic face three difficult opponents in their next three league games with Leiston and Thamesmead Town visiting Rookery Hill followed by a trip to Maldon and Tiptree. The Stags also have a trio of tough games with Brentwood Town at home before trips to Tilbury and Heybridge Swifts.
