League One Round-Up

At last, a very welcome win for Notts albeit against bottom placed Leyton Orient. League One is now beginning to take shape with the top 4 clubs having a clear lead at the top. Bristol City have a game in hand which has opened up a gap in 1^st place, closely followed by Swindon 4 points behind and MK Dons another point lower, still 3^rd despite losing on Monday at Bradford.

Preston keep 4^th spot and are a further 3 points behind. There is then a gap of 10 points to Oldham in 5^th place with Sheffield United occupying the last play off place, though only on goal difference above Chesterfield.

A good run of results would see any team from the chasing pack making a push for the play-offs. Similarly at the the other end of the table, Colchester are now 4 points adrift of safety above Yeovil, Crawley and Leyton Orient.
