  1. Thanks for your company, back on Easter Monday

    Portsmouth players applaud the fans away to Wycombe

    There is nothing like Easter football in the EFL!

    Everything is magnified in the race for automatic promotion, the fight for the play-off places and the battle to avoid relegation.

    Portsmouth moved a big step closer to League One. Lincoln took a huge jump into the play-offs.

    Stockport leapfrogged Mansfield at the top of League Two, as Sutton and Colchester had big wins at the bottom.

    Loads of goals, plenty of twists and turns!

    Now time to go away, enjoy the Easter weekend and join us again on Monday for more of the same!

  2. There's more to come

    #bbcefl

    We may be done in League One and League Two, but that's not the end of the EFL live action, not a chance,

    We hand over to Andrew Aloia who will guide you through Ipswich's trip to Blackburn in another huge match in the Championship promotion run-in.

    So why not switch over?

  3. Forest Green slip further from safety

    Bottom side Forest Green are now four points from safety after their defeat at home to promotion-chasing Stockport as fellow relegation scrappers Sutton and Colchester both won.

    Sutton moved three points above Forest Green after victory at Salford, while Colchester are a point above the relegation zone thanks to a home win over Newport.

    The battle to avoid the drop looks to be a four-horse race, with Grimsby pulled closer to the drop zone after their 3-1 defeat at Barrow.

    The Mariners are three points above the bottom two after back-to-back defeats.

    Bradford ended a run of four heavy defeats with a timely win over Tranmere, while other sides in the bottom half to pick up three points were Doncaster and Swindon who inflicted another defeat on Notts County.

  4. Hatters return to summit as Stags stumble

    The League Two promotion race is well and truly hotting up as Mansfield’s defeat means the top four are separated by just four points.

    Town lost their place at the top as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Wrexham who move level on points with the Stags.

    Long-time leaders Stockport took full advantage with an easy 3-0 win at bottom side Forest Green to return to the summit by a point.

    Barrow made it four wins in six to stay within six points of the top three, while fifth-placed Crewe were held to a goalless draw by Gillingham.

    The point was enough to move the Gills into the last play-off place, replacing Crawley who suffered a surprise home defeat to lowly Doncaster.

    Morecambe moved within three points of the top seven, with six teams within five points of the final play-off spot.

  5. Big wins at bottom for Vale and Cheltenham

    #bbcefl

    League One table graphic

    A huge afternoon at the bottom of League One where Port Vale made it successive wins beating Bristol Rovers, while Cheltenham won the relegation six-pointer away to fellow bottom four side Fleetwood.

    Jon Mellish scored a brilliant hat-trick for Carlisle in a rare away win at Peterborough, but they still look bound for League Two.

    Burton picked up a useful point at Wigan, while Garry Monk picked up a first win as Cambridge boss after their 2-0 success at Barnsley - much needed for both sides with teams below them winning.

    With Reading beating Northampton and Exeter and Charlton drawing, it feels like it is six teams for three places to join Carlisle in the bottom four at the end of the season.

  6. Advantage Pompey and Derby as rivals drop points

    League One top of table graphic

    Is this the day when Portsmouth cemented their spot in the top two? It feels like it.

    Victory at Wycombe, coupled with Bolton's draw at Stevenage, means that Pompey need EIGHT points from six games to guarantee Championship football.

    Derby moved six clear of Bolton with a win over Blackpool, although the Whites have a game in hand.

    Peterborough and Barnsley suffered shock home losses to Carlisle and Cambridge respectively and their hopes of automatic promotion have taken a big dent.

    But what about Lincoln? Jovon Mokoma's goal has pushed the Imps up into sixth on goal difference, above Oxford who were held at Shrewsbury.

    It is now 29 points from 11 games for Lincoln and they are the form horses in League One.

  9. 'Wrexham got away with one'

    FT: Wrexham 2-0 Mansfield

    Craig Armstrong

    Former Notts Forest and Mansfield defender on BBC Radio Nottingham

    Wrexham got a goal against the run of play.

    The positives are how well Mansfield dominated the play in the first half.

    I feel that Wrexham have got away with one and the penalty turned the game.

  10. 'Pompey show why they are top of League One'

    FT: Wycombe 1-3 Portsmouth

    Sam Avery

    BBC Three Counties Radio's Wycombe commentator

    Portsmouth have shown all of their quality and exactly why they are top of the league.

    Both of Colby Bishop's two goals for Pompey came from Abu Kamara's cutbacks.

    He was terrific for them and had a hand in their third goal.

  11. 'Easy win for Stockport'

    FT: Forest Green 0-3 Stockport

    Mike Minay

    BBC Radio Manchester commentator

    Stockport have strolled to victory.

    Forest Green offered nothing at all to challenge the goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe.

    It has been easy for Stockport, who have now scored eight goals in their last two League Two games.

  12. FULL-TIME

    Wycombe 1-3 Portsmouth

    What a fantastic Good Friday this is for Portsmouth.

    The League One leaders take a massive stride towards Championship football. Two goals for Colby Bishop and Christian Saydee's second half effort do the business for John Mousinho's side.

  13. League Two update

    #bbcefl

    HUGE BOOST FOR COLCHESTER!

    They’ve come from two goals down to surely beat Newport, thanks to Jay Mingi’s stoppage time strike!

    They’re not done in the relegation battle yet.

  14. FULL-TIME

    Derby 1-0 Blackpool

    A big win for Derby thanks to that cracker from Ebou Adams.

    They have not always convinced this season, but the Rams stay on the right track for automatic promotion.

  15. FULL-TIME

    Wrexham 2-0 Mansfield

    A goal in each half from Paul Mullin sends Wrexham level on points with Mansfield and within a point of top spot.

    Nigel Clough will point to that second-half penalty I'm sure, but they haven't offered enough in the final third today.

    It's only a second Stags shutout in 28 games and a fourth defeat in their last nine matches.

  16. FULL-TIME

    Stevenage 0-0 Bolton

    Stevenage needed a win to get back into the top six. Bolton needed one to keep pace with the top two.

    Neither side could find a goal. An opportunity missed for both.

  17. FULL-TIME

    MK Dons 5-0 Walsall

    Dons ran riot in the second half with four goals to bounce back in style from that heavy defeat at Stockport six days ago.

    A brace from second-half sub Max Dean, and goals from Alex Gilbey and Joe Tomlinson seal a big win.

    They're now four points off top spot and within three of the automatic promotion places.

  18. FULL-TIME

    Forest Green 0-3 Stockport

    Stockport are returning to the top of League Two after a cruise at Forest Green.

    Callum Camps and Rico Richards put them 2-0 up at the break before Connor Lemonheigh Evans wrapped up the most comfy of comfortable wins.

    They leapfrog Mansfield by a point, while Forest Green fall four points from safety.

  19. Post update

    Derby 1-0 Blackpool

    We have six minutes of injury time at Pride Park. Derby really do put their loyal fans through the ringer!

  20. League One update

    #bbcefl

    Lincoln City were 11 points off the play-off spots some weeks ago and now they are about to climb into them!

    Jovon Makama might just have won it for them against Leyton Orient in the 90th minute!
