How the bottom of League Two looks
Forest Green are down without kicking a ball.
The onus is on Sutton to get a result to close the four-point gap to Colchester, but they too could be relegated on Saturday if they don't do that.

One thing Colchester have managed tonight though, is level up their goal difference to the Mariners.
How the top of League One looks

Oxford, Lincoln and Blackpool look set for a great battle to secure the final play-off position, although Barnsley haven't fully rubber-stamped theirs, and Stevenage can still mathemetically make it.
How the bottom of League One looks
Fleetwood battled well today, but now face an extremely difficult task to stay in League One.
Port Vale also need results to go their way in the final two games.
Cheltenham have a massive lifeline, especially given their game in hand on Burton, who they beat tonight.
