The Bulls remain four points clear of the bottom two, but Plymouth closed their own safety gap after beating sorry Northampton 4-1 to move within a point of Dagenham. The Cobblers have now conceded 15 goals in their last three League matches, while the Daggers went down 3-0 at Accrington with just 1,308 watching at the Crown Ground. With Barnet winning last night, Bradford are the only other side below the Bulls and they drew 0-0 with Gillingham. Bristol Rovers slip another place to 18th after their 1-1 draw with Southend.
At the top, Southend's draw allowed Crawley to draw level with them on points after they beat Rotherham 2-1. Cheltenham beat Oxford 3-1 to remain third, while Shrewsbury hold fourth after beating Morecambe 2-0. Burton are up to fifth after a 3-2 win over Wimbledon, and Swindon are sixth after beating Aldershot 2-0.
In the Conference, Wrexham's goalless draw with Braintree keeps them top on goal difference only after Fleetwood also drew, 1-1 with Gateshead. Kidderminster drew 0-0 with Cambridge, while Forest Green drew 1-1 with York. Punters saw a massive gamble pay off when Grimsby beat depleted Kettering 2-1.
