What's Ahead In The National League On Tuesday Evening

By Sam Elliott

There’s no time to put your feet up - another big Tuesday night programme is heading our way.

No fewer than eight Vanarama National League games are taking place later on, but who will start the new month with real purpose?

March is usually when we find out so much about the runners and the riders and there are some big points to play for in midweek.

Hartlepool United are blazing a trail at home, but away from Victoria Park it’s a very different matter.

With only one win in seven on the road, they try their luck again at FC Halifax Town - whose season could be kick-started by victory at leaders Torquay United last week.

This will surely be the month when we find out if Sutton United are the real deal when it comes to the championship race.

They have a London derby with Bromley tonight, before a big game with Wrexham live on BT Sport this Saturday.

Notts County won with real style in the FA Trophy at the weekend but their title hopes are relying on another winning run - three points are a must against free-scoring King’s Lynn Town having beaten them two weeks ago.

Chesterfield lost for the first time since early January at the weekend.

James Rowe’s side and Eastleigh don’t really know what defeat is lately and they meet with a play-off point to prove.

Altrincham manager Phil Parkinson has promised a reaction to his team’s fifth defeat on the spin - and last night they signed three new players.

Woking arrive this evening in great spirits after Saturday’s FA Trophy triumph over Torquay United.

Boreham Wood will feel they have the goals in the tank to fire them into the top seven.

They make the short trip to Wealdstone, who also know where the net is, looking to jump into the play-off places.

Yeovil Town fans are really starting to wonder themselves.

After yet another home win at the weekend, three points tonight against struggling Barnet could see the Glovers move to within two points of the promotion places.

This season has so far not lived up to expectation for either Solihull Moors or Dagenham & Redbridge.

Three points when the teams meet could come some way to spark a surge up the table as we enter the final three months.

Tuesday’s National League fixtures:
Altrincham v Woking (7pm)
Barnet v Yeovil (7.45pm)
Chesterfield v Eastleigh (7.45pm)
FC Halifax v Hartlepool (7pm)
Notts County v King’s Lynn (7.45pm)
Solihull Moors v Dagenham (7pm)
