HAVERHILL Town manager Peter Betts believes his side - who have been rock-bottom of the Ridgeons League Premier Division virtually all season - are now in pole position to complete mission impossible and stay up.
The 24-year-old took over last November and he boldly predicted last month, with his side still cast adrift at the foot-of-the-table, that his team could avoid relegation following their draw at Lowestoft.
Soon afterwards, Haverhill drew against Wisbech, while last weekend they recorded back-to-back victories over relegation rivals Norwich United and mid-table Histon Reserves.
Still bottom of the pile, Haverhill are now just four points off Norwich - a second from bottom spot likely to be enough to ensure survival - and nine points away from Harwich & Parkeston and guaranteed survival.
Betts said: “We have won four of our last six games at home so if we show that form in the run-in we should be fine.”
Five of Haverhill's remaining six games come at Hamlet Croft, starting with the visit of Wroxham on Saturday.
