Walsall's lead at the top is now seven points after they beat Notts County (7th) 2-1. Swindon move up to second after a last minute own-goal gave them a 2-1 win over Bury. Lincoln slip to third after a 2-1 loss at Wrexham - only their second win in ten league games. Wycombe remain fourth despite losing 2-0 at Hartlepool, and Peterboro are now level on points with them in fifth after Torquay's no-diving initiative failed to pay off as they crashed to their heaviest defeat of the season, 5-2.
Darlington are eighth after spending nearly an hour with 10 men but still coming away with the points in a 1-0 win over MK Dons. Stockport denied Macclesfield their first win thanks a 1-1 draw, needing another Adam Proudlock goal to come from behind.
Grimsby piled on the misery for Accrington beating them 2-0 to make it six straight losses for Stanley, but Rochdale eased their own worries by beating Mansfield 2-0.
In the early kick-off, it all kicked off at the end with Mark Wright tussling with at least one member of the Shrewsbury bench after a last minute highly contentious penalty denied his side a point as Shrewsbury beat Chester 2-1. Chester had five booked during the game, but Shrewsbury defender Sagi Burton was dismissed after the final whistle and the FA are likely to act once the referees report has been filed from this stormy game.
Tomorrow, Barnet travel to Bristol Rovers to complete the weekend action. Meanwhile, our FA Cup opponents, Port Vale, lost 3-2 at Carlisle despite having a 2-0 half time lead.
