Bulls' victory today may help Shrewsbury

If Hereford United defeat Peterborough this afternoon it could help Shrewsbury Town make the playoffs.

Shrewsbury are 7th in the League and have a game to play compared with most other teams around them. This afternoon they entertain Accrington Stanley. Should they lose and Peterborough defeat Hereford then the playoff race will remain wide open especially if both Wycombe and Bristol Rovers win their games.

4 Milton Keynes Dons 43 13 75
5 Lincoln City 43 9 69
6 Stockport 43 7 67
7 Shrewsbury 42 21 64
----------------------------
8 Wycombe 43 9 62
9 Bristol Rovers 42 4 62
10 Notts County 44 3 61
11 Peterborough 43 6 60

Last night Hartlepool drew with Notts County 1-1 and so stay top of the League. However if Walsall win their home game against Bury then the Saddlers will top the League. Whatever happens both Hartlepool and Walsall will be promoted to League One. Swindon will almost ceertainly follow if they win their game against Mansfield.

1 Hartlepool 44 28 88
2 Walsall 43 32 85
3 Swindon 43 19 81
