League One Round Up

Last updated : 14 September 2013 By Covsupport News Service/RD

It is getting close at the bottom of League One with the bottom five teams separated by three points. 

If Coventry City beat Gillingham tomorrow, the Sky Blues would climb out of the bottom four as Bristol City lost 3-0 at home to Peterborough and Sheffield United lost 1-0 at Carlisle, both sides remain on 4 points. Gillingham are on 3 points. Notts County lost 3-2 away to MK Dons and stay bottom. Posh move into second place in the table but Leighton Orient maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 3-2 win over Micky Adams’s Port Vale.

Wolves won 3-2 at home to Swindon and are third in the table on 16 points. Walsall ran out 3-0 winners at Crewe. Bradford and Colchester shared the points with a 2-2 draw, Crawley and Shrewsbury drew 1-1. There were wins for Preston who beat Stevenage 3-0 and Rotherham who beat Oldham 3-2. Former Coventry players Danny Philliskirk, who was substituted at half time and Johnson Clark-Harris, who came on in the second half, both played for Oldham.

Finally Tranmere went down 3-4 at home to Brentford. With the game 2-3 in favour of the visitors, Cole Stockton equalised in the 90th minute to make it 3-3, but minutes into added time Brentford when Adam Dugdale handled in the area. Adam Forshaw kept his cool to score to make it 4-3.

Should Coventry beat Gilligham on Sunday at Sixfields, they would be just one point behind Stevenage, Crewe, Tranmere and Port Vale, who are all on 5 points.
