Notts hot on Dale's heels, Darlo could go down
Notts County will aim to keep the pressure on League Two leaders Rochdale while Darlington's fate could be sealed.
A run of eight wins from 10 since Steve Cotterill's appointment has pushed
Notts County within five points of Dale with a game in hand but they travel to in-form
Northampton on Saturday.
The Cobblers were 20th on Boxing Day but a run of just two defeats from 19 since then has propelled them to eighth, just a point off the play-off places.
Rochdale took just one point from six over Easter weekend and will aim to bounce back at lowly
Torquay.
The axe may finally fall on
Darlington's dismal season as having been bottom since August their relegation could be confirmed if they lose at home to
Accrington and other results go against them.
Victory then for third-bottom
Cheltenham at home to
Bury and a shock success for Torquay plus a point or more for Lincoln would send Darlo down, but seventh-placed Bury got their play-off hopes back on track with their first win in nine last week.
Morecambe rally
Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy had conceded defeat in their bid to make the top seven but the Shrimps are back in contention having won their last three.
Morecambe are now ninth, three points off the play-offs, and they host fourth-placed
Rotherham, whose hopes of automatic promotion have faded after losing their last three.
The Millers are now six points adrift of third-placed
Bournemouth, who travel to lowly
Lincoln on Saturday.
Aldershot have launched a timely run into the top seven and will be looking to build on a run of 13 points from 15 at 10th-placed
Port Vale, who are five points off the play-offs.
Dagenham are level with Port Vale but must visit sixth-placed
Chesterfield, who sit between Aldershot and Bury on goal difference and beat league leaders Rochdale last Saturday.
Shrewsbury need win
Shrewsbury are nine points off the play-off pace but a derby win at
Crewe could do wonders for their fading promotion dream.
Burton and
Bradford both look set to finish mid-table and face each other at the Pirelli Stadium while
Barnet host
Macclesfield with both almost certain of survival.
Second-bottom
Grimsby remain seven points adrift despite last week's win at Accrington but will aim to boost their survival hopes with victory at
Hereford.
