Bulls Still Relegation Outsiders

The Bulls are still relegation outsiders despite yesterday's results.

Jamie Pitman's men have seen their odds for the drop halved but remain 25/1, the same price as Burton but ahead of four other sides. Stockport, despite their win at Port Vale, are no better than 1/50 with Barnet 8/11 and Northampton down to a season-low of 3/1. Lincoln are 9/1, with Bradford and Cheltenham 33/1 shots.

Stockport's fate could be sealed on Monday as they entertain Northampton. Anything but a win for the Hatters would see them relegated, with even a draw leaving them two games to make up six points and a thirty five goal gap to the Cobblers. Gary Johnson's men are now 17 games without a win, but have scored twice in each of their last three games. Three times in their last six games they have scored deep into injury time to salvage draws.

Barnet face Oxford at Underhill, with U's boss Chris Wilder acknowledging that his injury hit side will have to be shuffled after losing defenders Djoumin Sangare and Mitch Hanson to injury during Saturday's game. Lincoln entertain Cheltenham having lost their last two home matches 4-0 and 6-0, with ex-Bull Gavin McCallum blaming jeering from the home support for their failings. For the Robins it is just two wins in 18 matches.

Bradford entertain Aldershot still seeking a win to get them over the 50 point line. Boss Peter Jackson agreed with the fans singing that the Bantams players were 'not fit to wear the shirt' after their 3-0 loss to Accrington. The Bantams have scored only once in four matches, conceding eleven times. Burton entertain Torquay on the back of a three match unbeaten run that has yielded seven points.
