On The Table


Chris

We're now starting to see which sides are real contenders for promotion from League One, Pride of Nottingham reflects on the league table with it's 'On The Table' feature. Form for many teams is rapidly becoming important, as the table changes for the better, as those who maintain their form are rewarded with contention for promotion.

Teams which slip or fail to progress increasingly lay in limbo, as they struggle to keep up with the pack and demand of the tough division.

 

Bristol City have regained the very top position after they cruised against a struggling Notts County, the final score 4-0 in the Robins favour.

Swindon Town haven't played, they face Coventry City away from home on Monday 12th of this month. If Swindon win, they move back to 1st, however this would leave Bristol City with a game in hand. A win for Swindon Town would be the best possible outcome, as this would leave for an exciting title challenge.

 

MK Don's move from 4th to 3rd within League One, they drew 2-2 against struggling Crawley Town.

Preston North End drop a position after losing to Sheffield United away from home, the final score at Bramall Lane was 2-1.

Bradford City and Sheffield United remain in their respective places, despite Bradford losing 2-1 to Rochdale and Sheffield United winning. Bradford sit 5th and Sheffield United 6th. If the Blades win their game in hand, this would leave them 4 points clear of 7th.

Chesterfield enjoyed a respectable 3-0 win over Port Vale, this leaves them in 7th position.

Rochdale move a position higher after their 2-1 win against Bradford City, they now retain the 8th position within League One.

Fleetwood Town jump from 12th to 9th after beating last years league leaders Leyton Orient.

Port Vale drop two places from 8th to 10th, they lost to the Spireites 3-0. Peterborough United remain 11th after their shocking defeat to the hands of Colchester United.

Notts drop two places from 10th to 12th as a dominant Bristol City went on the rampage at Ashton Gate.

Oldham Athletic move from 14th to 13th, they drew 2-2 to Doncaster Rovers. The Vikings (Donny) move from 15th to 14th thanks to the poor result from Walsall.

Walsall themselves drop from 13th to 15th after being defeated by the hands of Scunthorpe United 4-1 at the Bescot Stadium.

Barnsley move from 17th to 16th, they beat rooted Yeovil 2-0 at home.

Scunthorpe United move up one position from 18th to 17th, their surprising win over Walsall continues their claim away from the relegation where they had remained for a considerable amount of time within the 2014/2015 campaign.

Coventry City drop from 16th to 18th, they are scheduled to play Swindon Town on Monday.

Crewe Alexandra jump from 22nd to 19th, the League One strugglers beat Gillingham 3-1 at home. Leyton Orient drop from 17th to just outside the relegation zone at 20th, their 1-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town sees them dangerously close to falling into the drop. They share the same amount of points as Gillingham who sit 21st, after the Gills lost 3-1 to fellow strugglers Crewe Alexandra.

After Colchester United's impressive win over Peterborough United, this saw them move 23rd to 22nd. Crawley Town drop from 21st to 23rd despite their 2-2 draw to MK Dons, it wasn't enough to prevent them slipping.

Poor Yeovil Town remain rooted to the foot of the League One table, they ended the weekends fixtures with a 2-0 defeat to Barnsley.

No major movements but some steady progress for some clubs, it's a shame that we could not maintain our own form. Good write up Joe!

i hope the table starts to open up a bit more.

i can see teams switching from one end to the other, tho if we can keep ourselves as high as possible that will do me fine. i also wished preston had won :(

BromPie; Steady progress is the aim of the game, I think we might have peaked at the wrong time and that obviously hasn't helped our form, yet we can get it back.

Liam; I felt disappointed by Preston, I felt they would have managed to at least draw.

Thanks for reading :)

With a run of consistent good form amost any team can can still make a push for promotion.Conversely the same apples to any team having a bad run regarding relegation.
