Ordinarily I'd be rooting for Accrington to go down, but our 3rd XI cricket captain supports them and he's having about the worst year imaginable, so for his sake, them staying up would be nice
Stevenage win, and require just 2 points to guarantee promotion to L1.
Indeed it looks like the 3 automatics will be relatively southern (Orient, Northampton, Stevenage) with the playoffs between northern sides
Such joy and if those fixtures don’t get you salivating then you’re a football snob like me who’s sick to death of this pony league and the clubs that are in it
League one is ridiculous this year. Ipswich are probably going to get 100 goals and 100 points and not win the league. They've been relentless, last 13 games, 12 wins, 1 draw and only 2 goals conceded. Included in that run were wins away to Bolton, Derby, Peterborough and Barnsley, all without conceding.
Plymouth definitely aren't getting the plaudits they deserve for being top ahead of them.
Fascinating at the bottom of the Championship. Two games to go and still no team is mathematically relegated.
It's looking bleak for Blackpool who are 3 points back, behind on goal difference and facing two top half sides.
Wigan have more of a mountain with a 4 point gap and behind on goal difference but with their recent form, you wouldn't put two wins against 22nd Reading and 19th Rotherham past them.
Meanwhile, tomorrow night 19th Rotherham are playing 20th Cardiff - can see both sides playing out a draw. Another point for either make them very difficult to catch.
Last but not least, looking ahead to the final day of the season and 21st Huddersfield hosting 22nd Reading. It could all come down to that last game to decide who goes down.
Which team in League Two got pipped by I think Joey Barton’s mob last game of last season (who won massively ) to miss out on automatics by goal diff when JB’s mob won by a massive scoreline was it Northampton ?
Going in to yesterday’s game Stockport were 5 points behind Northampton with 2 games to go and were away at leaders orient and with a better goal diff than Northampton stockport won 0-3 Northampton were 1-1 with Bradford but let in a 94th minute goal to leave them needing a win at nothing to play for Tranmere next week to guarantee promotion rather than a draw Stockport go to already relegated Hartlepool surely it can’t happen to Northampton again
Rotherham beat Middlesbrough 1-0 (who had Dijksteel sent off) and are now safe.
Also means that Luton are confirmed to finish 3rd and Boro 4th.
Relegation is now down to just Huddersfield and Reading. If Huddersfield get a point at home to Sheff Utd this week then they're safe. If they lose it goes to the last day with Huddersfield at home to Reading.

Who would have thought, that after all those years of yo-yoing, Rotherham would stay up after Paul Warne left! Brilliant job by Matt Taylor
Cambridge lose at Burton tonight, so are still in deep trouble. A really exciting final day at the bottom on Sunday, with realistically MKD, Morecambe and Cambridge all fighting for one place above the dropzone

And like Palace they keep changing their home colours.
If they win they are two points from safety. Their last two fixtures? Cambridge (23rd) and Oxford United (19th).
Really hope they stay up.
The biggest anti football team in the division.
Basically almost seals promotion for them and Plymouth.

If both Plymouth and Ipswich aren't on the beach already, we could have 2 teams getting over 100 points.

stockport won 0-3

As it happens, both Ipswich and Plymouth are playing teams with nothing to play for, so should win
