Wins for Chesterfield (0-1 at Bradford City) and Wycombe (4-1 Burton Albion) cemented their position at the top whilst Port Vale continue to faulter going down in a 2-3 thriller against Stevenage Borough. Southend beat Barnet 2-1 and Accrington edged Crewe Alexandra 3-2. Cheltenham and Torquay also shared a lively 2-2
Barnet are starting to look candidates for the drop with Burton third from bottom just above Stockport, suddenly starting to use those games in hand up at the wrong time. Hereford drew with Northampton 1-1 to allow Gary Simpson's Silkmen to jump three places to 18th after a second successive win this time at home to Morecambe. Bradford are starting to look cecidedly uncomfortable in 21st just 6 points off the drop.
