Paul Parry was only a late sub as Cardiff beat Southampton 2-1. The same fate was had by Theo Robinson who sat through most of Watford's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. Chris Weale was a half time sub, and Michael McIndoe and Gavin Williams both started as Bristol City relied on Bulls loan target Steve Brooker to come off the bench and score the only goal against Blackpool.
Andy Williams scored a late consolation as Bristol Rovers lost. Gary Hooper scored Scunthorpe's goal against Leeds. Wayne Brown kept a clean sheet as Bury beat Brentford 1-0. Rob Purdie scored from the spot to give Darlington a point at home to Exeter. Tim Sills scored from the spot to give Torquay a point at Histon.
