Hartlepool v Mansfield
Oldham v Leyton Orient
Rochdale v Carlisle
Salford v Crawley
A Mansfield win at Pool would surely make them favourites for the automatics with FGR and Exeter.
A win for Salford would firmly put them in the play off contention mix.
At the other end anything for Oldham ahead of Stevenage game would be a welcome boost.

Hartlepool came from 0-2 down to draw 2-2 with Mansfield.

And Salford beat Crawley 2-1 to go just two points behind us, with a game in hand.
Salford's next two games are Hartlepool away then (next Tuesday) Port Vale at home. We'll want to keep an eye on those two!
Mansfield (now two points above us, with two games in hand) have also got a couple of tricky fixtures coming up in the next seven days: Northampton at home then Forest Green away.
Our next league opponents are Orient, whose recent revival under new head coach Richie Wellens hit the buffers this evening with a 2-0 defeat at Oldham (who climb out of the relegation zone on goal difference above their next opponents Stevenage).

4th to 8th now just separated by goal difference. Extraordinary!

I agree with Gareth.With the position to goal difference.
But missed chances in earlier games may come to bite us in the b-m.
But as been said in different posts and threads this has been a brilliant season not only in the league but also to the Cup final on Sunday.

Win our remaining 4 games at home and scrape a couple of away draws and we're in the play offs. Especially if we beat Newport at home and draw with Mansfield away.

The focus at the moment is of course on Wembley, but next week it will shift back to the league. Seven games will remain. Four wins and two draws may be a touch ambitious but are certainly achievable and would probably deliver a play-off place. Maybe a bit less than that would be enough. We'll have fewer games (two!) against other top-half sides than most of our rivals.
