Two important matches this evening:
Forest Green Rovers v Mansfield Town (a home win would be handy)
Salford City v Port Vale (3rd v 1st in the 6-game form table)

It's certainly in our interest that FGR make it 3 wins on the spin, but the other one is a bit harder to call. The natural thing is that a draw works in our favour, but only will do if we take advantage in our upcoming games. A PV win however will drop Salford a place even though no teams lower than them play tonight.
3rd place is only 5 points above us with 7 games to go, whilst a play off spot is only 3 points. It's very fine margins which will invariably go all the way to May 7th before sorting itself out. However it pans out, it's certainly the tightest run in of all 4 league divisions.
At this point, FWP have Mansfield 4th, PV 5th and Salford 6th. It also has us in 7th in the predicted table.
They also have 1-0 wins for both the home clubs tonight.

Ended with FGR and PV winning 1-0.
Not a disaster for us at all.
Mansfield played most of the 2nd half with 10 men. Midfielder George Lapslie was given a straight red. Possibly will miss our match next week depending in the severity of the offence.

Lapslie's an important attacking player for Mansfield, so he would be a significant loss to them should he be suspended on Good Friday. Maybe, just maybe, the footballing gods are smiling on us now.
