If Reading are to win promotion it will have to be through the play-offs following their match at Layer Road. Jamie Cureton’s 30th goal of the season fired them into 24th minute lead before Colchester struck back to turn the match on its head courtesy of efforts from Conlon and Skelton.
The four challengers for the remaining three play-off spots all won their fixtures. Walsall overcame relegation threatened Bristol Rovers thanks to two goals in the opening ten minutes from Matias and Goodman.
Stoke's large following of supporters saw on loan Sam Parkin net for Oldham with seventeen minutes gone on the clock before the Potters hit back to snatch the points courtesy of goals from their Icelandic connection – Gunnarsson and Dadason.
Wigan went behind to a Paul Wanless effort at Cambridge in the 25th minute before hitting back to level the scores five minutes later with a McCulloch goal.
The Latics then went on to claim all three points when Bradshaw converted a 59th minute penalty. Bournemouth are hanging onto Wigans’ coat tails after their win over Northampton courtesy of goals from Elliott and Jorgensen.
If either Stoke or Wigan slip up on the final day of the season then Bournemouth could still pinch a play off place.
In the battle to avoid the remaining relegation spot Swindon took full advantage of Bristol Rovers and Cambridge’s defeats to edge towards after with a nail biting victory over Peterborough.
Akexander headed them into an early lead only for an Alan Reeves own goal to level the scores with only fourteen minutes left to play. Swindon then hit back in the dying seconds to claim the points when an Invincible effort found the back of the net.
With a tough last day game at Stoke, Swindon are still relying on the results of fellow sides to confirm their survival.
