New boss Jimmy Reid has steered the Pikes to two wins and a draw in three games since replacing the sacked Pete Vasey in the Recreation Ground hot-seat.
That haul of seven points has lifted the Ryedale side five points clear of strugglers Maltby Main and Lincoln Moorlands Railway, and ten ahead of basement side Selby Town.
The seventeenth-placed Pikes are now only three points adrift of thirteenth-placed Nostell Miners Welfare and Reid now wants to haul the club into mid-table.
The lack of a game this coming weekend will give the new management team valuable time to work in training before a tricky run of fixtures.
A trip to high-flying Scarborough Athletic on Saturday, January 14th is followed by a home game against leaders Retford United on Saturday, January 21st and the month ends with the visit of Nostell on Saturday, January 28th.
Said Reid: “We’ve got three big games coming up, but we’ve got ten days to prepare for the Scarborough game.
“Hopefully, that means we can get ten days more training and fitness into the players and then come back well.”
He added: “We have taken seven points from the last three games and hopefully we can pick up a few more in the next few weeks.
“We have caught up with the batch of teams that were above us in the table.
“If we can get six or eight points in the next month or so, we can leave them behind and move into the next group of teams.”
Reid signalled his second spell in charge at Pickering by signing his son, Tom, and then he also brought striker Darren Clough back to the club from Bridlington Town.
However, there are no immediate plans to make wholesale changes to the squad, with Reid preferring to let assistants Steve Brown and Dean MacAuley work with the existing players.
“We’ve only brought two players in, so we are playing with the same players that were here when we came,” he said. Counties East League Premier Division drop zone.
