Perhaps with the exception of Gas v Cambridge (Cambridge not mathematically safe but it would require a ridiculous set of results for them to go down now) then literally every game has something riding on it, so:
- Bolton v Shrews - Bolton still fighting for an auto spot, or failing that will be desperate to keep momentum heading in as favourites for a play-off campaign. Shrews shat the bed against us yesterday, throwing away what looked like a straightforward point in a moment of red-card madness, so their end to the season is more nervous than it needs to be. After today they face two beach sides (Charlton and Orient) - they're most likely fine, but probably not the way they wanted to end the season.
- Gas v Cambridge - The Gas have suddenly turned into goalmonsters after a recent drought, either that or Chelts played a shocker at the weekend. Would back Cambridge here, like I said they're all but safe but will want to seal that.
- Burton v Chelts - now THIS is the daddy. Absolutely crucial game for Cheltenham, they're still not down if they lose but given their dogshit final sequence of games (Lincoln/Posh/Stevenage) then this is a must-win for them.
- OUFC v Lincoln - the former will be flying high from giving Posh a dicking at the weekend, Lincoln now have only a wildly outside chance at a playoff spot but still have plenty to play for so you'd think both sides will be going in with guns blazing
- Posh v Fleetwood - Posh will be wanting to put their Saturday horror shown firmly behind them, Fleetwood have to win to continue any slim hopes of survival.
- Portsmouth v Barnsley - Don't know what happened to Barnsley of late, they really seem to have gone off the boil, so you'd expect Pompey to confirm their auto slot here, fair play to them.
We face the epic might of Port Vale away.
Given our run of Tues-Sat games that we've been on, expect our squad to be rotated once again from what it was on Saturday, but if you're thinking, "ah, they'll play the kids", then no, we don't really have them.
Our strength in depth is pretty decent, we barely have any deadwood, and we have a fair few playing for a contract next season, so whilst we may not care so much about the points, I doubt we'll rock up just to roll over.
I'm not saying we're much good, mind, the table doesn't lie, and we look very ordinary a lot of the time, but this will be a nervy game for Vale.
They will understandably consider this their "easy" fixture (before they face Bolton on Sat), but then they could have said the same about Saturday's game and look how that panned out...
