Millwall’s League 1 season continued with a win against Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday.

Technically Millwall can still finish in an automatic promotion place following a three-one win at Bury but the play-offs remain the most likely outcome at the end of the season.

Bury almost took the lead when Tom Pope hit the crossbar but it was Chris Taylor’s goal from a corner that had Millwall ahead with this lead doubled when Steve Morison scored his 18th-goal of the season just past the half hour mark.

Ryan Lowe pulled one back for Bury in first half injury-time before Morison set up Taylor for the returning Blackburn loanee to wrap up the win in the final 10-minutes.

Here’s a round up of the League 1 action from the other games played at the weekend….

These were the other results.

Saturday 23rd April 2016
Sheff Utd 0-0 Barnsley
Bradford 4-0 Walsall
Bury 1-3 Millwall
Colchester 0-3 Burton
Doncaster 2-0 Coventry
Fleetwood 0-0 Blackpool
Gillingham 2-3 Shrewsbury
Oldham 1-0 Crewe
Peterborough 0-2 Scunthorpe
Port Vale 4-1 Rochdale
Swindon 1-0 Chesterfield
Wigan 4-1 Southend

Barnsley’s (nil-nil) draw at Sheffield United saw them move into the final play-offs place ahead of Gillingham (three-two) following a defeat against Shrewsbury, who went into this match in serious relegation trouble.

These two (Barnsley and Gillingham) will now be the sides battling for that final spot.

Wigan (four-one) virtually confirmed a return to the Championship with them still leading the way but Burton (three-nil) continue to push them for the League 1 title after beating Colchester, with this defeat for the U’s confirming their relegation.

A heavy Walsall (four-nil) defeat at Bradford means the Saddlers now look as though they’ll have to join the Bantams in the play-offs, Burton can still be caught though for them to finish second.

Blackpool’s (nil-nil) failure to beat relegation rivals Fleetwood, taking into account their poor goal-difference means they’ll find it tough to escape the bottom four, which is something Doncaster (two-nil) have renewed hopes of managing after the win at the Keepmoat Stadium against Coventry.

It’s set to be one from three of Fleetwood, Blackpool and Doncaster that drop into the basement league.
