The competition for play off places is getting very interesting with only 8 points separating 5th placed Sheffield United and 15th placed Oldham. The situation at the bottom end is no less interesting with Coventry, Leyton Orient and Crawley all winning, Crewe, Colchester, Yeovil all losing and Notts, Scunthorpe and Walsall all drawing.
Walsall lie 16th but are only 8 points adrift of a play off place and yet are also only 7 points above safety, which shows how tight this league is but games are running out.

The gap between 6th placed Barnsley and 21st placed Leyton Orient is now 15 points.
Notts County are 11 points below a play off place but alarmingly only 4 points above the relegation zone.
Notts County will be desperate for a home win on Tuesday and hoping other results also go their way so they can keep a safe distance from the drop zone.
