Be lucky if there is any good news for us from either of those games - both home bankers I would have thought?

Let's do a job on Wigan and it won't matter!!

Bolton have now only won one of their last five. But they'll stay in the top six today because the Stevenage game is off.

Lincoln...

said a month or so back Lincoln were my dark horses - I reckon it will be a battle between us and them for the title.

3 behind us on GD as well. Though they have played 2 games more prior to 3 o'clock today.

Personally I look at the gap between us and 3rd more than us and 2nd.

Obviously winning the league and promotion go hand in hand, but as long as we keep the gap between us and 3rd then I'll be happy.

Lincoln are doing very well though, although did drop points at home on NYD.

Generally a pretty good day, yes Lincoln and Bradford won, but nobody else did. Looking like a three horse race all of a sudden.
