Wrexham 42 5 7 9 22 31 4 3 14 27 53 -35 37
Cambridge 41 5 7 8 22 30 0 5 16 16 52 -44 27


This is the bottom of Division Two after Saturday 30th March, there is four games left to play and things look much better for Town at the moment. Cambridge are now relegated to Division Three following their 2-2 draw with Oldham.

Wrexham need some kind of miracle, being seven points adrift of the safety zone and only a possible 12 points to play for.

Above the Cobblers, Chesterfield and Colchester look pretty safe now, so it's going to be two teams from four that will go down. The Cobblers and Notts County have the edge at the moment, but a lot could change in the next couple of weeks.

Town travel to high flying Reading on Monday to maintain their quest for Division Two safety. The Royals will be looking for three points to maintain their push for promotion and the championship title.
