Today's League One games to keep an eye on
Not going too badly at HT:
Coventry 0-1 Ipswich
Oxford 0-0 Shrewsbury
Rotherham 0-1 Rochdale
Pompey 1-1 Posh
Blackpool 1-0 Fleetwood
A draw or less for Ipswich would mean they can't overtake us even by winning their game in hand.

Pompey now 2-1 up.
Pompey now lead Posh, gap at NINE points - same games played.
Coventry equalize against Ipswich.
Gap is at EIGHT, sorry, Blackpool in 3rd.
Blackpool now 2-0 up v Fleetwood, who have two games in hand on us but are 11 points behind.
3-0 Blackpool
This will be a superb result.
Joey Barton will be an even angrier man than usual!
Pompey 2-2 Posh, probably a better result than a Pompey win if it stays that way.
I always want draws between rivals, as only two total points are dished out.
Southend 3-2 down at Bristol Rovers having been 2-0 up
It's 4-2 ?
4-2 now.
Gillingham 1-0 Sunderland
Gillingham score at home to Sunderland - but does that matter?
Sunderland looked nailed on for mid table currently. They can't buy a goal.
At this point, we're probably more under threat from Gillingham than we are from Sunderland.
I must admit I have not been paying attention to Bristol Rovers, but they are in the playoff spots now.
The bogey men from Kent with the least hospitable facilities.
We know Gillingham are good, as they are the only team to beat the mighty Wycombe in the league this season!
Nice one @Shev !
Just watching those scores come in - not many that I would have changed if I could picked them myself.
I think it's most unfair that the Mackems have to play in this shit league! The EFL need to sort it out.
I agree @railwaysteve - is this the first time we have led the division without anyone being able to catch us with games in hand?
Nah, just about a perfect set of result really
I'd walk if I were Phil Parkinson, doesn't seem worth the aggro even if the money's probably very good. I'm not sure if they would sack him. Who can they bring in to dramatically turn things around and get them up this season? I think the problems there run much deeper.
Factions apparently.
Virtually every bookmaker has shortened our odds for promotion today, but what do they know!
@Shev - I believe that from that point of view, tonight is our best ever league position.
I want to print the league table off, but don't want to jinx it.
I will need to rest my voice ready for next Saturday, and the Saturday afterwards! Bought my tickets for open ended place earlier today.
Sunderland and Arsenal are really having very similar seasons. Everyone feels they must surely turn it around because of their name, but they really do not have very good squads.
