Alfreton vs Southport
This is a huge game for both sides who sit either side of the relegation zone. I want to refrain from using the annoying phrase of a 'six-pointer' but three points in this one could give both a extra boost of hope for survival. Southport have a couple of games in hand on teams around them although losing manager Gray Brabin, to take up a coaching role at Everton, will have been a big blow as they had looked on course to safety. Alfreton will hope the Cauldron of Noise that is THE IMPACT will carry them through to a positive result.
Altrincham vs Aldershot
There was some controversy surrounding this fixture in the week for some reason that I'm not interested in. Apparently the Conference Twitter account was very helpful. Anyway, 'Alty' are slowly edging their way to the 50-point safety line whilst their opponents have been in free-fall since about forever. Chris Barker will be in charge of his first game as Aldershot manager following the sacking of Andy Football Genius Scott. The visitors are just six points off of the relegation zone and have a played a game more than 4th bottom Alfreton.
Barnet vs Woking
The pick of the games this Saturday. Barnet will look to maintain their seven point gap at the top of the league whilst Woking will be hoping for a repeat of last seasons 3-1 triumph at the Hive. It should be a tight affair, much like the 1-1 draw at Kingfield back in November. Woking, however, now have a revitalised squad after a disappointing Christmas period. Captain Mark Ricketts and Scott Rendell are now both fit and full-back Aswad Thomas returns to Surrey having signed in the week from Grimsby.
Bristol Rovers vs Lincoln City
Bristol are doing their best to keep up with Barnet yet the leaders have showed little sign of giving up their lead. Despite this, Bristol have already been awarded the three points by Lincoln due to the away side's inability to be able to do anything away from home. The visitors, though, have managed to put themselves into the play-off picture in recent weeks after notching six wins from their last six games at home.
Eastleigh vs AFC Telford
Eastleigh boast an impressive home record and have scored the joint-second most goals in the division so Doomed Telford, who have conceded the highest amount, could potentially lose about 10-0. With other play-off contenders either not playing or playing each other, this is a good chance for the home side to perhaps sneak into 5th spot. If there is any sort of hope for Telford is that against the better sides they do manage the odd result. They have recorded draws with Grimsby, Barnet, Kidderminster and even beat the Mighty Woking this season. #believe
Forest Green Rovers vs Grimsby
5th vs 4th so ideally a draw would suit everyone. Jon Parkin has been scoring a few goals or something for FGR and so has earned himself a couple of extra veggie burgers from Vince. The Worst Grimsby Side Garry Hill Has Ever Seen At Blundell Park are on a three-game winning streak having beaten Eastleigh, Nuneaton and Barnet, scoring six and conceding one. They will be hoping Ollie Palmer doesn't do this any time soon though:
Macclesfield vs Welling
Somehow Macclesfield are still doing well. They're third, one point behind Bristol with a game in hand. From their last ten they've won seven and lost three. Their goal tally may read 43 but 'Macc' have only conceded 27 goals in 31 games which is not to be sniffed at. Welling, on the other hand, are still that God-awful hoof ball side they've always been and they'll need their anti-football style more than ever in the next couple of months. They lie 19th and are six points off the drop. The bad news for them, is that Alfreton have two games in hand.
