FLEETWOOD 0 BRISTOL R 0

IPSWICH 2 BLACKPOOL 0
GOALS either side of half time by Alan Judge and Luke Woolfenden gave Ipswich a victory over Blackpool. The hosts’ manager Paul Lambert said: ‘There’s miles to go, a long long way to go and everybody’s getting fit.’ Blackpool boss Neil Critchley said he was ‘relatively pleased’.
BURTON 1 HULL 0
DEBUTANT Jonny Smith’s 90th-minute winner gave Burton a much-needed three points. The deadline-day signing from Bristol City came on as a substitute and made a huge impact, sliding the ball past George Long.

ACCRINGTON 0 NTHAMPTON 0
MANAGER Keith Curle said his Northampton side’s goalless draw with John Coleman’s 10-man Accrington was ‘something to build on’. Joe Pritchard was sent off for for two bookable offences.
ROCHDALE 0 CHARLTON 2
CHUKS ANEKE and Deji Oshilaja were both on target as Charlton got back to winning ways. Manager Lee Bowyer called it ‘the perfect away performance’.
DONCASTER 3 OXFORD 2
GOALS from Jon Taylor, Fejiri Okenabirhie and Taylor Richards saw Doncaster secure a ninth win in 10 league matches. Manager Darren Moore said: ‘We’ve shaded a real close game. We scored some good goals and then it was about resilient defending.’
Oxford’s goals came through Sam Long and Olamide Shodipo, and their manager Karl Robinson added: ‘We had five minutes of madness at the beginning of the second half – it’s frustrating.’
WIGAN 2 WIMBLEDON 3
A JOE PIGOTT brace, one of them a penalty, and a goal from Jack Rudoni earned the points for Glyn Hodges’ Wimbledon. Curtis Tilt and debutant Jamie Proctor replied for strugglers Wigan.
SWINDON 0 SHREWSBURY 1
HARRY CHAPMAN’S wonder strike was enough to see off Shrewsbury’s relegation rivals Swindon. The hosts’ stand-in manager Aaron Wilbraham called it ‘a great performance.’
MK DONS 2 SUNDERLAND 2
SUNDERLAND lost ground in the League One play-off race after being held in a frustrating game at MK Dons. The visitors’ boss Lee Johnson said: ‘I had to lift the guys after the game, they were disappointed not to win.’
Sunderland went ahead early on through Charlie Wyke, but Joe Mason and Cameron Jerome struck for Russell Martin’s hosts before Luke O’Nien’s equaliser before the hour.
PORTSMOUTH 2 PLYMOUTH 2
JAMES BOLTON’S last-gasp goal earned Portsmouth a point as Kenny Jackett’s men scored twice in as many minutes to draw with Plymouth.
Luke Jephcott’s double looked to have earned victory for the away side. But winger Ronan Curtis gave the hosts hope in the 86th minute before Bolton levelled a minute later.
Jackett said: ‘Credit to the players, I am proud of them because they found a way at and scored two really good goals. We showed good spirit.’
