UPS AND DOWNS

Ten clubs still scrapping to join Fulham in top flight

CHAMPIONSHIP

FULHAM have already confirmed promotion to the top flight. BOURNEMOUTH will join them if they can take eight points from the last four games and then there is a chasing pack for the remaining places. HUDDERSFIELD definitely have a spot in the play-offs and NOTTINGHAM FOREST need a point to seal their place. Both can catch Bournemouth, as can LUTON. SHEFFIELD UNITED, MILLWALL, MIDDLESBROUGH BLACKBURN, QPR and COVENTRY are also scrapping for the last play-off places. BARNSLEY are relegated with DERBY and PETERBOROUGH. READING stay up.

LEAGUE ONE

WIGAN need a point to confirm promotion back to the Championship after coming from behind to secure a draw against Plymouth. It keeps the Latics top, three points ahead of ROTHERHAM and MK DONS. With one game left to play, the third-placed Dons can only draw level with Wigan on 89 points, but with a seven-goal advantage on goal difference for Wigan, it would take a spectacular collapse in their last two games to deny them a return to the second tier after a two-year absence. Rotherham and MK Dons have at least sealed a play-off spot. SUNDERLAND, PLYMOUTH, WYCOMBE and SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY are vying for the remaining three spots. In the relegation zone, CREWE knew their fate a week ago. WIMBLEDON, DONCASTER ROVERS and GILLINGHAM fill the other three spots although FLEETWOOD and MORECAMBE can be sucked in. Second-from bottom Rovers have a -45 goal difference so need a miracle.

LEAGUE TWO

FOREST GREEN are into the third tier for the first time. They have been top of the table since September and are eight points clear of fourth-placed PORT VALE, who have two matches remaining to Forest Green’s three. EXETER will join them with a home win over Barrow tomorrow. NORTHAMPTON occupy the final slot but can be caught by Vale, BRISTOL ROVERS, MANSFIELD and SUTTON. The play-off battle includes SALFORD, TRANMERE, SWINDON and NEWPORT. SCUNTHORPE and OLDHAM head out of the League while BARROW pulled off a remarkable escape.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

STOCKPORT are seven points clear at the top. WREXHAM, in second, lead a chasing pack with eight points separating the six teams in play-off spots. The Welsh club suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Woking but third-placed HALIFAX also went down 1-0 at Southend. SOLIHULL MOORS, CHESTERFIELD, GRIMSBY and NOTTS COUNTY made ground.
