The big win leaves them still in the drop zone but it helped real in teams above them such as Exeter City and Leyton Orient.

Around League One, it promises to be a much tighter league, with a remarkable set of weekend results – which saw Bolton being the only side in the top eight to get any points – helping bunch the table up.
Seven of those eight sides all lost meaning there are now just six points seperating the top ten sides.
So how is it all going to end? Here is how a supercomputer – produced by OPTA – thinks the season will finish.
