Given that Colchester United have not conceded a goal in 213 minutes and we have not scored a goal in 272 minutes, this is not going to be a goal fest for us.
We shall start the match in 4th place, probably 3 points behind Northampton Town, they kick off at 2:00pm. At the end of play they will once again have a game in hand on us. That game is Harrogate Town v Northampton Town on Tuesday February 28th. For the great majority of teams in League Two Harrogate Town are not formidable opposition.

I wonder why there is no mention of this on BBC Radio Cumbria.
Result
Northampton Town 1 - 2 Grimsby Town
For the first time this season we are genuinely 3rd, in that Northampton would need to win their game in hand on us by 5 goals to go above us.
Similarly Mansfield Town would need to win their game in hand on us by 5 goals to go above us.
