Bournemouth were also on form, smashing four past Bristol City at Dean Court to put a serious dent in the visitor’s play-off aspirations. Out-of-form Walsall also did their hopes no good as they lost 1-0 at home to struggling Colchester.
Millwall and Rotherham both won to retain the top two automatic promotion places. Stuart Nethercott’s (pictured) goal just before half-time was enough to secure the points for the Lions at home to battling Luton, while Rotherham were thankful for an own goal in the last minute to secure them a 3-2 win at mid-table Oldham.
Bargain-buy Lee Trundle continued to do the business for Wrexham. His goal with twenty minutes left inspired the Welsh side to come from two goals down at Cambridge to secure a 3-2 victory, the winning goal coming in injury-time after good work by Trundle himself.
Stoke also hit an injury-time goal, which was enough to earn them a 2-2 at Brentford and retain the final play-off spot. Bristol Rovers saw off Bury 2-0 at the Memorial Ground, but remain in the bottom four. Swindon moved out of the relegation places with a 2-0 win at doomed Oxford, Robinson hitting both goals, while Swansea really needed three points rather than the one they gained at home to Northampton thanks to Steve Watkin cancelling out Howard’s strike for the Cobblers.
