Macclesfield were the only side in the relegation area to play tonight and they did themselves no favours losing at Stockport, in what was, admittedly, a very difficult fixture for them. They remain 5 points ahead of Mansfield Town, who are in 23rd place, but have played three matches more and 6 points above bottom club, Wrexham, but having played four matches more than them.
Macclesfield now have only 7 matches left and are in 21st place and have a real six pointer on Easter Monday at home to Barnet.
Stockport took the lead after 10 minutes with a goal from Jason Taylor and the same player added a second, a minute into the second half to secure the win for County and put further pressure on Macclesfield in their fight for league two survival.
