Bridgnorth occupy the final relegation slot and are three points behind Cradley Town, having played two games more.

And their task is made even harder with their last four games all away from home – starting at Hinckley on Saturday.

“It’s looking very worrying, but we are not giving up,” said Barrow, who saw his side go down 6-4 at Droitwich in midweek. “I think we need two wins to have a chance of pulling clear otherwise will be left relying on politics and ground grading to stay up.”
