Another busy and manic day of EFL madness comes to an end.

Birmingham and Wycombe have got themselves some daylight at the top of League One while the runaway train that is Walsall just keeps on rolling in League Two.

It's looking grim for Burton in particular at the bottom of the third tier while Carlisle's busy week in the transfer window failed to produce points with their home defeat by Bradford leaving them seven points short of safety in League Two.

You can catch up with all the day's action on our dedicated pages here and we're back tomorrow with Leeds against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship (kick-off 12:00 GMT).

There was no movement for League Two's bottom two sides today with both Carlisle and Morecambe both tasting defeat.

Harrogate Town's win last night and Swindon Town's victory today see them move up to 19th and 18th respectively, while Gillingham's 1-0 defeat to Doncaster means they slip down to 16th.

There was a big victory for Colchester United who won 1-0 away at Bromley to move up to 15th.

Leaders Walsall continued their fine form with a club record ninth league win in a row to maintain their 12-point lead over second placed Crewe who picked up a victory over Morecambe.

The chasing pack of Doncaster, Notts County, AFC Wimbledon and Port Vale also won to ensure that every side in the current top six picked up three points today.

Defeat for Salford City against Fleetwood saw them drop from third to seventh in the table, and Bradford moved to within one point after a win at Carlisle.

Burton Albion are now 11 points from safety as they could only draw 1-1 at fellow strugglers Crawley while Cambridge United twice led at Bolton but had to settle for a 2-2 draw after conceding a 90th-minute leveller.

Shrewsbury beat Wrexham on Thursday to give themselves hope.

Northampton's 1-0 home loss to Lincoln drops them to 20th place but Bristol Rovers have moved seven points clear of trouble with a 3-1 win over play-off hopefuls Barnsley.

With Wrexham losing on Thursday and Huddersfield held at Blackpool at lunchtime, Birmingham and Wycombe knew wins would give them some breathing space.

Birmingham's 1-0 victory over Exeter sounds closer than it was while Wycombe struck late to win 2-1 at Mansfield.

Barnsley suffered a surprise defeat at Bristol Rovers and Stockport replace Reading in the top six with their 3-1 win in Berkshire.

Leyton Orient's momentum was halted with a goalless draw at Peterborough and Bolton's draw with struggling Cambridge United keeps them in touch.

• Port Vale made it back-to-back wins after an entertaining 3-2 win over Newport.
• AFC Wimbledon went one better to make it three wins on the spin after they beat strugglers Tranmere 2-0thanks to goals from Josh Neufville and Matty Stevens from the penalty spot.
• Salford's longest ever winning league run is over as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Fleetwood. The Ammies had won their past six league games without conceding before today.
• Notts County picked up a 3-0 win at Accrington thanks to goals from George Abbott and David McGoldrick notching his 11th and 12th goals of the season.
• Grimsby were held to a 1-1 draw by Chesterfield at Blundell Park.
• Owura Edwards scored the only goal of the game as Colchester overcame Bromley.
• And it was big three points for Swindon who beat Barrow 2-0.

• In our other games, it was heartbreak at the death for Cambridge, who scored an own goal in the 90th minute to gift Bolton a point. They fought so hard to hold on but Ian Evatt’s side have clawed their way back from defeat.
• Bristol Rovers sealed the three points against Barnsley thanks to a goal from Ruel Sotiriou, to make it 3-1.
• Crawley drew 1-1 against Burton after Tola Showunmi equalised just past the 72 minute mark.
• Despite a fightback by Reading, Stockport put it out of their reach when Jack Diamond killed off the game making it 3-1.
• Rotherham beat Charlton by 4-2, despite a late goal by the away side.
• AND we had some late drama as Wigan scored in the 95th minute to win 2-1 away to Stevenage.

A goal from Ethan Laird in first half injury time wins it for the leaders but they were less than impressive.

Blues struggled to create many clear cut chances against an unambitious Exeter side who rarely threatened but will still be unhappy with the nature and timing of the goal they conceded.

There was lengthy injury time at the end of the game because of a sickening head injury to the visitors' Vincent Harper who had to be stretchered-off.

In that extra time Exeter's Jack McMillan was sent-off for a second yellow card offence just to complete a miserable afternoon.

It's a second yellow card for Exeter's Jack McMillan and he has to go.

We're heading towards the 15th minute of injury time.

Birmingham City fans are getting nervous here.

Can Exeter find a chance against the odds?

Even though 12 minutes of time added on was indicated by the fourth official we will go beyond that because of the lengthy treatment required for that head injury to Exeter's Vincent Harper.

It goes without saying we hope he makes a swift recovery.

Full time at the Mazuma Stadium and it's three points for Crewe.

They held onto their lead after scoring in the second half to ensure they stay second in the table.

Morecambe remain second from bottom in the standings after defeat.

No Matt Bloomfield? No problem for Wycombe.

Goals from Richard Kone and Garath McCleary get the job done for Wycombe and for a ninth away win of the season.

Lucas Akins levelled for Mansfield with all the goals coming in the second period.

Temporary boss and boyhood Wycombe fan Sam Grace has a win in his first game in the big chair.

This is a horrible injury to see. When there's such little movement from a player after ten minutes we just hope he's okay.

The players seemed really worried.

We will have 12 minutes of time added on!

Vincent Harper had to undergo some extensive treatment before he was replaced because of a head injury.

Treatment is still ongoing.

Anders Hagelskjær comes on for his Wycombe debut and replaces Cameron Humphreys.

And there we have it, full time at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.

Some history for the Saddlers with victory meaning they have now won nine games in a row for the first time in their EFL history.

Those nine matches have been won with a combined scoreline of 22-6.

What a team, can they go all the way and win League Two this season?

A final change for the visitors and it's Ilmari Niskanen on for Vincent Harper.

Still only 1-0...

We will have eight minutes of time added on.

A late change for Birmingham with Krystian Bielik on for Alfie May.
