January: The Bulls start the year with a 1-1 home draw to Forest Green, a result that leaves them in seventh place in the Conference, with the Bulls News report citing the midfield as being the weak point. Guy Ipoua successfully appeals against a red card for pointing at Jeannin's shirt, while Jon Brady departs for Cambridge and is replaced by Daryl Taylor.
Back to back wins and a draw at Grays see the Bulls move into the play-off zone and Graham Evans departs after failing to make an impression. Nicky Nicolau joins on loan, but Graham Turner misses out on Ben Smith who joins Weymouth. Before the month is out, Stuart Fleetwood becomes Turner's only permanent signing of the month, arriving from Cardiff until the end of the season.
February: The Bulls dip out of the FA Trophy to holders Grays. Stacy Coldicott's anonymous spell at Edgar Street comes to an end with a loan switch to Cambridge. He briefly returns to the Bulls after his loan ends but eventually quits the club. Adam Stansfield suffers a broken cheekbone in a match at Canvey and faces six weeks out, but Turner strengthens the squad with Robbie King and Matthew Halliday coming in on work experience terms.
The Bulls lie third, sixteen points adrift of Accrington as the teenage partnership of Andy Williams and Stuart Fleetwood produces instant rewards with a goal each in both the 2-0 wins over Aldershot and Stevenage. The prize money for the LDV Trophy is in doubt after the sponsors enter administration.
