The games involving Macclesfield (19th) and Accrington Stanley (12th) and Bradford City (16th) and Grimsby Town (23rd) both finished goalless with nothing real to note.
Rochdale (1st) were left without a game as they were due to take on Notts County (7th), who were in turn involved with an FA Cup game against Premiership Fulham at Craven Cottage.
