A good day for Walsall who widen the gap between themselves and Port Vale to four points after the Saddlers picked up a 1-0 home win against Barrow and Vale drew 0-0 at Bromley.

Doncaster relinquished that third-placed spot to drop to fifth after they lost 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon.

Wycombe stay top by one point but Birmingham take over as their chief pursuers as their win over Bristol Rovers and Wrexham's draw means those two swap places.

Barnsley's come-from-behind win at Exeter shifts them up to seventh place above Bolton who lost to Wigan earlier.

Right, after all that, lets take a look at where things stand in the tables

The natives were nervous at times in this game; perhaps some expected a cricket score against Bristol Rovers.

But whilst they missed more chances to score, Birmingham City had plenty to cheer about in this game, including a first club goal for Lee Buchanan, who was out through injury for over 200 days before his EFL Trophy return last week.

Bristol Rovers frustrated them at times, but this will be a frustrating time for them too, as they struggled to get any threat on the final ball and are now just above the relegation zone.

Walsall extend their lead at the top of the table to four points after a 1-0 win over Barrow. The Saddlers are now 10 games unbeaten.

Port Vale stay second but will see it as two points dropped as they were held 0-0 at Bromley.

Crewe overcame Grimsby 2-0 at Blundell Park to move into the top three.

MK Dons missed the chance to make it seven league wins in a row after they fell to a 1-0 home defeat against Gillingham.

Bradford put an end to their winless streak with a 1-0 win over Swindon who sit two points above the relegation zone.

Second from bottom Morecombe suffer back-to back defeats as Cheltenham came out 2-0 winners at the EV Charger Points Stadium.

And Carlisle remain rooted to the foot of the table following their home defeat against Chesterfield.

Peterborough closed out victory in a 4-3 thriller against Crawley Town in part thanks to a Cian Hayes double

Jonson Clarke-Harris struck twice to ease Rotherham into a 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Northampton Town.

Stockport concede a penalty to suffer a 2-1 loss against Stevenage.

Steve Bruce's Blackpool impress with a 3-0 victory over Reading which moves them into the top 10.

Barnsley came from a goal down toearna vital 2-1 win over Exeter City after two second-half goals.

Huddersfield Town came back from 2-0 down to grab a point in their 2-2 draw with Lincoln City and keep themselves in the mix in the top four.

Charlton and Mansfield Town also shared the points in their goalless encounter.

Sometimes you play the league leaders and they absolutely thrash you, but today they didn't even need to try.

Shrewsbury showed zero quality, and never strung five passes together.

Honestly, it's worrying to see and there's no way they stay in the league like this.

A better second half from the Gas can't measure up to a dominating Blues side who win a third league game in a row and stay in contention for the top.

Bristol Rovers registered just the one shot on target with the home side tallying up eight with over eight times the amount of attempts.

It means it's a third goalless loss for Matt Taylor's side, who next face another challenging task of hosting Wrexham.

But for Birmingham, they are back in an automatic promotion spot and cruising their way back to the Championship if this form continues.

An excellent point for Cambridge United.

Wrexham might see that as a point gained against a spirited Cambridge United side.

Elias Kachunga gave the visitors the lead before goals from James McClean and Steven Fletcher turned things around.

Lewis Brunt then brought down Sulley Kaikai with two minutes to go and Dan Nlundulu converted the penalty for a well deserved draw on the road.

From the moment Beryly Lubala nodded Wycombe in front after 15 minutes this was never in doubt.

Caleb Taylor added a second on the stroke of half-time with his first goal for the club and Fred Onyedinma's header made it safe.

Jordan Shipley struck a nice free-kick in response but when Wycombe promptly went up the other end and saw Daniel Udoh make it 4-1 the gap between top and bottom was plain to see.

Gareth Ainsworth is having a word with his staff now, with whom he achieved so much in charge at Wycombe.

Today he's been the opposition, and beaten.

Four minutes of time added on.

A double change for Wycombe.

David Wheeler and Matt Butcher are on for Fred Onyedinma and Aaron Morley.

Matty Steven's fifth goal in six games is enough at the Cherry Red Records Stadium as AFC Wimbledon pick up the win to end their previous run of no wins in their past four games at home.

The Dons move up to fourth in the table.

Doncaster miss the chance to make it 10 games unbeaten and this defeat sees them drop to fifth.

Blues substitute Lukas Jutkiewicz tries to make it three but Gas keeper Josh Griffiths makes a simple save to deny the forward's header as we enter injury time.

Lewis Brunt commits the foul - huge moment.
