League Two Results 8th May Part 2

Lincoln City 0-0 Macclesfield Town
Both teams finished a disappointing season with a draw – although at least neither of them went down.
David Stephens was again on great form for Lincoln, dribbling the length of the pitch before not quite managing to end the move with a goal. Lincoln could do a lot worse than get him back on loan from Norwich City next season.
After getting a rare start last week, Matthew Tipton wasn’t in Macclesfield’s squad at all this time. Don’t take this the wrong way but I do kind of hope he’s injured... injured is usually better than released.

Morecambe 1-0 Aldershot Town
Aldershot secured their place in the play-offs last week but Morecambe still needed a win to make sure – and that’s exactly what they got. Morecambe finished fourth in their third season of League football.
Darren Moss kept his place in Morecambe’s starting line-up and helped get them another clean sheet.

Northampton Town 1-1 Bury
Northampton and Bury still had a chance of play-off football. With their rivals winning, they wouldn’t have got there anyway but this draw wasn’t a great help either.
Peter Gilbert played the full match for Northampton.

Port Vale 1-1 Shrewsbury Town
Results last week meant that Shrewsbury couldn’t get into the play-offs this season and that Port Vale’s chances were very small. Results elsewhere would have prevented them from getting into the play-offs whatever the result of this game – but even so, both teams would probably have preferred to finish their season with a win.
Gareth Owen was able to play for Port Vale after recovering from hip and back problems. Craig Davies and Lewis Haldane also started. Craig has completed his loan spell from Brighton & Hove Albion but Vale manager Micky Adams has hinted he might want Craig back next season. Lewis is one of several players out of contract.
Tom Bradshaw got what was probably his first start for Shrewsbury. And for almost the first time, he didn’t score. But he still has three goals and an assist from his last four matches. No wonder Birmingham City, Fulham, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested.

Torquay United 0-0 Notts County
Torquay extended their unbeaten run to eight matches after a very creditable draw with Champions Notts County. County finish 10 points clear of second-placed Bournemouth – and twenty points clear of the play-offs.
Ben Davies has a groin problem but played the full match for Notts County. He didn’t score but he should have won a penalty.
