Comments
Darlington’s inconsistency continues, unable to keep a 2-0 lead at home to Telford last week, they then get hammered at Leamington only to beat 3rd place Chester today. We’re too good to go down, but not consistent enough to make a play off push.

Great win for Bradford PA, really puts the pressure back onto Bltyh. At least we are well clear of the relegation dogfight.

Why on Blyth? Blyth don't care about what is behind them only what is ahead of them surely?

Leamington clearly troubled Spennymoor yesterday as well. It wasn't a comprehensive 3-0 win but puts Tuesday into perspective given the less than perfect preparation for the game.

I'm sure Blyth would be happier if one relegation spot was all that they had to worry about, as BPA were cut adrift at the bottom. Now Bradford PA appear to be picking up, they have to be concerned that there might be 2 relegation spots that they have to worry about.
