Crewe pulled themselves out of the relegation spots by hammering Brighton 4-0, their fourth straight win. The Seagulls are 22nd with Orient 21st, while 20th placed Swindon lost 1-0 at ten man Tranmere. Yeovil, one of three teams seven points ahead of the Bulls, slip further down the table after losing 2-0 at Walsall. The other two sides on those points saw better, with Carlisle drawing 1-1 with Bristol Rovers, and Northampton picking up a first win in six with a 1-0 win at bottom club Cheltenham.
At the top Leicester's lead stays the same after a 2-2 draw with second placed MK Dons. Peterboro fail to capitalise after going down 2-1 to Southend. Fifth placed Oldham beat Millwall (4th) 3-2, while Leeds move into the play-offs after a 3-2 win over Scunthorpe. Stockport's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield keeps them in contention, while Colchester still can't find that spurt towards the play-offs with a 1-1 draw with Hartlepool.
In League Two Brentford lead the table by four points after beating Bury 1-0. Rochdale are second after beating Grimsby 2-0. The Mariners are two points off the drop zone, and would be 15 points adrift at the bottom but for the pre-season points deductions. Chester drew 2-2 with Dagenham, while Shrewsbury lost 3-0 at Macclesfield.
In the Conference Burton edged closer to promotion with a goalless draw at Woking while Histon closed the gap with a 3-0 win at Lewes. Forest Green drew 1-1 with Grays, while Kidderminster played most of their game with ten men but still beat Eastbourne 2-0. Weymouth fielded a number of their supposedly departed squad and a number of non-contract players rather than a youth side, but still lost 2-0 at York - who were booed off the field at full-time.
