The next 100 hours will be key ones for Lincoln, Grimsby Town, Cheltenham and Torquay with 2 bouts in the relegation rumble in quick succession. Apologies to Darlington fans but the fat lady is already warming up her vocal chords.
Perhaps the key game is of course at Hereford, because if Grimsby fail to beat the Bulls results elsewhere are going to start to become academic. However if they win they will fancy their chances at home to local rivals Chesterfield on Tuesday. The Crooked church have been in free fall of late winning one, drawing one and losing four of their last six. Grimsby then play Torquay and Darlo before finishing the season with two further clement fixtures at home to Barnet and away at Burton.

8/5 Burton Albion v Grimsby,
Bury`s 3-0 win over Burton ended a terrible run that had seen them fall from both the automatics and the playoffs. But Cheltenham who will need to be at their best are on a fine run, the last five have seen them win 3, draw one and lose to just Macclesfield who are doing it for the KEEF! Should Cheltenham win today Shrewsbury who are bottom of the current form table could be a pushover that would heap the pressure on their rivals.

Rochdale may be top but have only managed one pointing their last two games, so you can argue this is the best time for the Gulls to play them. That said this and Tuesday`s fixture against Aldershot see them as favourites for the drop with all seasonal trapdoor decider against the cods coming next Saturday. The Gulls then play Maccs , Bury and County.

The Imps really need a result today as things are only going to get tougher away at Notts County on Tuesday. Ray Trew is unlikely to do us any favours and then we go to Shrewsbury a team we should at least get three points off. This is why today`s game in so key, win both of these and we are home and dry, anything less and the Bury home games on 24/4 and Macclesfield on the final day are definitely our last chance saloons. We do have a game at Aldershot on 1/5 but we will get nothing there the way they are going. The time for spin is at an end, bottom line we need 6 points and we are safe starting today.
