  2. GAMES OFFpublished at 09:35

    Before we get cracking, an important update as we've already had four games off today because of waterlogged pitches. Those postponed so far are:

    Accrington v Carlisle 

    Morecambe v Mansfield

    Blackpool v Oldham

    Hartlepool v Notts County

    Just in case there was any doubt about the Accrington decision, take a look at this picture the club tweeted. No referee's inspection needed for that one...

    We'll start with the build up, which will include a look at the big stories doing the rounds, a gander at the back pages, analysis of the games plus whatever else comes our way.
