With Stockport's relegation confirmed by their 2-0 loss at Crewe, the final day comes down to a shootout between Barnet and Lincoln. The Imps surrendered a goal lead to lose 2-1 at Oxford, while Barnet lost 3-1 at Accrington. Barnet face Port Vale on the final day needing a win. If they do, so do Lincoln as their goal difference is so poor a draw would not be good enough. The Imps face Aldershot at home in their final match.
The Bees' loss means the Bulls are safe after their point against Bradford. Also safe are Northampton after beating Stevenage 2-0, and Burton after they drew 1-1 with Southend.
At the top Chesterfield need only a point to secure the championship. Their goalless draw with Torquay last night opened the door for Bury to take charge, but the Shakers lost 3-1 at home to Wycombe to blow their chances. The Chairboys are third but still need a win next weekend to secure an automatic promotion spot after Shrewsbury won 1-0 at Cheltenham to keep up the pressure in fourth. Accrington's win secures their play-off place, with Torquay, Stevenage, and Gillingham fighting over the final two spots. The Gills went down 4-2 at home to Macclesfield to leave them out of the top seven on goal difference. Port Vale have an outside chance, but would need a cricket score to make up the goal difference, after beating Morecambe 7-2 today. That score included hat-tricks for Justin Richards and Louis Dodds. Rotherham's dismal end to the season continues with a 2-2 draw with Aldershot to see them down in tenth.
At the foot of League One both Bristol Rovers and Plymouth can only escape relegation on goal difference alone. With relegated Swindon going down 2-0 at Oldham they will finish bottom of the pile. The Pilgrims are six points short of safety with two games left after losing 1-0 to near-rivals Exeter, and will be relegated if they fail to beat Southampton on Monday. The Pirates drew 1-1 with Sheff Weds leaving them needing to win at Colchester by around 16 goals. Dagenham beat Carlisle 3-0 to move up to 47 points, one behind Walsall who beat Charlton 2-0. The pair can both overhaul Notts County after the Magpies lost 2-1 at MK Dons.
