Vital midweek action in League Two...

There’s a clutch of League Two action this evening with one or two big games in hand taking place that could change the course of certain teams’ seasons. Burton Albion, strangely, aren’t involved and could well be playing until November at this rate after their weekend game at Bury was postponed leaving them well behind.

The big game of the night comes at the Priestfield where Gillingham will be looking to go just two points behind Rotherham in the battle for a top three place. Bury can also take advantage of any clip ups when they host Stevenage. There’s just as big a game down at the bottom as Hereford face another six pointer. Following defeat against Lincoln on Saturday, it’s vital that they get a result at home to Macclesfield.

Lincoln themselves will be gunning for a sixth straight league win when they play fourth placed Shrewsbury. The Shrews can go into the top three with a win combined with victory for Gillingham against Rotherham. Elsewhere, Morecambe host Aldershot as both sides bid to escape the clutches of the bottom few sides.

So an important night, the first of many catch-up midweek fixture lists for League Two following a winter of quiet thanks to the snow and ice.
