The fact Scunthorpe lost in midweek didn’t set them back too much but they’ll still be looking for a reaction at Chesterfield, which would be expected at the strugglers. Then again defeat against Oldham wouldn’t have been anticipated would it!
Bradford couldn’t take advantage, only closing the gap by a point with the second-placed side hosting the real in-form side in League 1 when Sheffield United visit Valley Parade in this Yorkshire derby aiming to extend the unbeaten run and potentially moving into an automatic promotion place.
A win was something struggling Coventry managed in midweek with Rochdale losing, the Sky Blues will be hoping for another three-points return with Dale aiming to get back on track to ensure a play-off place is retained.
But for a late equaliser Charlton would have won back-to-back matches, as it was the Addicks had to settle for a point in the last match with a three-point return at Gillingham something Russell Slade will be looking for.
Millwall will also want a win as the Lions come into the match with Fleetwood just outside of the relegation zone, which isn’t what would have been expected from this season at all.
If Oldham can follow up the win over leaders Scunthorpe with another one against Bristol Rovers at Boundary Park the Latics could have a very good chance of moving out of the bottom four, which is something Shrewsbury will retain in whatever the basement side manage against Northampton at Greenhous Meadow.
The round of matches will conclude on Monday when Bolton head to Bury, who have dropped out of the play-off places with the Trotters very much in them.
We can say it goes without saying the expectation; most definitely the hope at least, will be for a positive result.
But will this happen? We’ll find out soon enough!
