3 wins, 2 defeats

Barnsley 2 - 0 Coventry City @ Oakwell

Barnsley were always looking like the favourites to win against Coventry City on Saturday and didn’t disappoint after a 2-0 victory. Andy Gray has been in fine goal scoring form recently for The Tykes, and it was he who managed to continue his run of form with two goals on Saturday to earn Barnsley their first home win of the season.

Keith Hill’s team are now unbeaten in seven league games and find themselves within touching distance of the play-off places in mid-table.

Andy Gray's brace grants Barnsley their first win at Oakwell this season.




Peterborough United 1 - 2 Doncaster Rovers @ London Road

The arrival of new boss Dean Saunders seems to have worked wonders for Doncaster Rovers, as they picked up their first away win of the season after coming from behind at London Road on Saturday.

Club captain Brian Stock levelled the scores, before former Bury striker Kyle Bennett sealed a memorable win with a clever finish late in the second half.

Rovers now have 7 points from 9 in the league and climb out of the early relegation places, moving up to 20th in The Championship.

Rovers pick up their first three points away from home at London Road.






Hartlepool United 0 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday @ Victoria Park

Sheffield Wednesday made it three wins on the bounce on Saturday, with an impressive 1-0 victory over the previously unbeaten, Hartlepool United.

Not only that, but it was also back-to-back away wins for Gary Megson’s side, who have struggled for points away from home in recent matches.

Defender Reda Johnson headed home the only goal of the game in the first half, which was eventually enough to move Wednesday up to 4^th in the league.

Reda Johnson's header gave Wednesday their third league win in a row.





Sheffield United 0 - 2 Charlton Athletic @ Bramall Lane

Sheffield United faced Charlton Athletic on Saturday in what was billed as a ‘Clash of the Titans’ in League 1, as both teams have become the eatly pace setters for promotion.

It ended in disappointment for The Blades however, as the London side ran out 2-0 winners at the Lane. Two goals in the second half killed off United, who failed to take their chances in the game, something which has been a problem in recent weeks.

This was the second league defeat on the spin for The Blades, who next face Rotherham United in the Johnstone’s Paint trophy, followed by Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City derby.

Bradley Wright-Phillips' 7th goal of the season condemned United to a 2-0 defeat.





Port Vale 2 - 0 Rotherham United @ Vale Park

Rotherham suffered another defeat on Saturday away at Port Vale. Former Barnsley striker Marc Richards did the damage as Vale ran out 2-0 winners. The Millers are now without a win in three games, and have slipped outside the play-off places into 8^th in League 2.

Former Barnsley striker, Marc Richards puts Port Vale ahead in their 2-0 win over The Millers.
