Leicester's 1-0 loss to Millwall, and Carlisle's 2-1 loss at Scunthorpe, mean that Oldham lead the division by three points after they beat MK Dons 2-0. Leeds moved up after winning 3-1 at Swindon, as do Walsall after a Michael Ricketts double helped them to a 3-1 win at Bristol Rovers.

Stockport moved out of danger with a 3-0 win at Leyton Orient, while Northampton earned a creditable point with a 1-1 draw with Peterboro. Yeovil's 1-1 draw with Brighton, in front of their second lowest League One attendance ever, leaves them still in danger while Huddersfield's centenary season continues to frustrate after a 2-1 loss to Tranmere leaves them in 22nd.
