It was a bad day for Cardiff, Crewe (who lost at Tranmere) and Bristol City who went down at QPR. Oldham won comforatably at home against Colchester and are snapping on City's heels again. Wigan were grateful to a late own goal to earn them a point at Peterborough. A point closer to promotion for Paul Jewell's team as he watches the teams below him shoot themselves in the foot week after week.
