Exeter City vs Barrow (nice local trip for the visitors on a weeknight) - If Exeter win, they they're promoted along with Forest Green who are already up. - If Exeter draw, they can only fail to be promoted on Goal Difference which is only three goals better than Port Vale
Mansfield Town vs Stevenage: - If Mansfield win, they can only drop out of the Play-Offs on GD which isnt much different to Salford or Tranmere
Swindon Town vs Forest Green Rovers - If Forest Green win, and Exeter lose... Forest Green can only fail to win the title on Goal Difference
I dont understand it though; League One finishes this coming weekend.
League Two and the Championship dont finish for another week?
I think it was the same last year, with L1 finishing a week early. I suppose it's to give us L1 clubs a day in the spotlight, but it seems weird
I presume that all three Leagues get the TV spotlight for the important last game of the season, but they could surely do.
League One: Sat at 12:30 League Two: Sat at 5:30 Championship: Sun at 12:30
Puts the Forest just two behind Bournemouth with the two having played the same amount of games. Feels like Parker is putting himself under needless pressure - Especially as Bournemouth vs Forest is the penultimate game of the season

Agreed. It seems extra odd that L1 is the one finishing early, as L1 sides will have more games called off due to international callups than L2 ones, and are more likely to progress in the Pizza Cup, and indeed the main cups too

Bournemouth have a tough game away at Blackburn this weekend too, whilst Forest have a home game v Swansea.
I completely ignored Swindon during my League Two run down - But their 2-1 win over Forest Green puts them into 8th, and are now just two points behind Sutton United, with all games in hand done and dusted
The balance is still in the Cherries favour, just. But with the relative momentum of each side…
Looking at those games i'd say the balance lies slightly with Forest.
Yes the Bournemouth game is away but Swansea and Hull are basically on the beach, whereas Bournemouth have to face Blackburn and Millwall who are both chasing the final play off spot.
