ODIN DELIVERS THUNDERBOLT

ODIN BAILEY’S late winner steered Stockport four points clear at the top of League Two after a 1-0 home win against play-off hopefuls Wimbledon.

Sub Bailey (above) helped Dave Challinor’s side take full advantage after second-placed MANSFIELD’S clash with ACCRINGTON was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

MILTON KEYNES missed out on the chance to move level on points with third-placed Wrexham when they conceded an added-time equaliser at NOTTS COUNTY. Two goals from Ellis Harrison had put the visitors ahead, but Aaron Nemane’s late, late effort denied them victory.

Dons boss Mike Williamson (circle) said: “The boys have given me everything, but I saw things out there which I wasn’t pleased about and that reflects on me, so I’ll take our performance on the chin and move on.”

BARROW’S automatic promotion hopes suffered a major blow when they lost 2-1 at MORECAMBE, who remain on the fringe of the play-off places.

Dion Conroy set play-off hopefuls CRAWLEY up for an emphatic 4-0 win at NEWPORT. HARROGATE stunned fellow top-seven challengers GILLINGHAM as they came back from a goal down to win 5-1 with five second-half goals. Jordan Garrick struck twice as bottom club FOREST GREEN gave their survival hopes a lift with a shock 3-0 win at sixth-placed CREWE.

They are three points behind SUTTON, who escaped the bottom two for the first time this year with a 3-1 success at SWINDON, their fourth successive league win, thanks to goals from Charlie Lakin, Harry Smith and a Jack Bycroft own goal.

The victory moved them above COLCHESTER, who are now in the drop zone after a 1-1 draw at TRANMERE, but they have three games in hand on Sutton.
