6 games to go and 18 points to play for, the first of which the very short trip to the peninsula stadium against Salford who have taken the place of bury as our local derby. The stakes don't get much higher. Bolton now in the last automatic promotion spot need the win to at least maintain the 2 point gap over tranmere who are away at walsall. Salford in 9th need the win to close the 3 point gap from Newport who hold the last play off place. As said in the media Salford under their 3rd manager of the season gary Bowyer are unbeaten at home. Every unbeaten record comes to an end at some stage but my money is on a draw tonight. Team news. Marcus maddison has now left the club and expect his replacement to be thomason with a sub keeper making the numbers up on the bench. Still no sarcevic who still hasn't had a firm comeback date and Edwards and politic who I expect next season after a pre season. 7pm ko.

It's getting to me I must try and stop looking at the weekends and remaining fixtures.
How can I force myself to look at one game at a time at least until after the Morecambe game
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pasty, it's easy. Don't watch the TV, tear up the fixture list and stop looking at the papers.
I say that knowing very well that you won't stop worrying so, It's a futile exercise. Just give up and accept that you will be worried until we know our fate.

Aim high win them all
As a special concession we can enjoy a plan B of keeping fingers crossed those other results keep going our way it's a win win we either finish with a bigger gap between us with the rest of the league below or they give us peg up to get over the line to a comfortable finish.

Filipe Morais will not be playing against Bolton tomorrow following a bust up with his team mate in their last game against Bradford. The manager has said that neither player will feature in the run-up to the end of the season.
Morais has scored once in the 15 games that he has played for Grimsby.
I feel sorry forPhilipe but on the other hand I'm pleased that he and his team mate won't be playing against us. It would just be like him to score against us or deliver a few of his perfect corners which we held him in awe for when he played for us.
It looks as though his days of playing for Grimsby are over. At 35 years of age, he may be tempted to hang up his boots.

Yes, that win for Crawley last night was a real lifter for us, however, we play them in the last game of the season, so as an insurance policy, we need to be in the top spot with a four-point advantage before we play them. It can be done.
Morecambe are at home to Oldham, and Tranmere are at home to Salford City. I would dearly like both Morecambe and Tranmere to lose or at least only get a draw. We will see.
Cambridge is playing away at Newport County today, that is not going to be an easy game for them. But let's not forget that we have to win our game. I'm going for a win. No scoreline from me just a win and three more precious points.
