BARNSLEY 1 PLYMOUTHARGYLE 3

What was the turning point? Scoring in the first half! We rarely do it and it meant we decided to sit back in the second half. Before we knew it we were 2-1 down.

Was it a fair result? Not really. Plymouth should have won about 6-1! We were that bad. Plymouth are the worst side I've seen at Oakwell this season and they were still better than us. That sums it up for me. They had a fairly error-strewn game, which is no surprise considering their league position, but they were head and shoulders above us in the second half. (Rob Miles, Barnsley-mad.co.uk).

COVENTRY CITY 1 QPR 0

Was it a deserved victory? They created more chances than we did but goals win games and we scored the only one of the match. We're back in the top half of the table and that's a fair reflection of the team at the moment. We're not good enough for the play-offs but better than the bottom six. (Chops, Coventry fan).

What's wrong with Rangers? It would be easier to explain what's right just now. Absolutely nothing! We are being made a mockery of by owners who know nothing about running a football club. I'm disgusted. (EagleAllen, QPR fan).

DONCASTER ROVERS 1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0

Who was the Doncaster hero? Billy Sharp never ceases to amaze me. He scores every type of goal and the only surprise is that he doesn't seem to be rated by Sheffield United. We'll take him in a heartbeat. (Bowden, Doncaster fan).

Are Forest now in freefall? We've lost out last four away games and I'm starting to get a little worried. However, perhaps we are just re-finding our level as we were definitely punching well above our weight a few months ago. (Banana_Man, Nottm Forest fan).

LEICESTER CITY 5 SCUNTHORPE UNITED 1

What's everyone talking about? How bad we were! The players Nigel Adkins has brought in just aren't good enough for this level. Rob Jones was awful, Michael Raynes isn't a full-back and the rest of them played like clowns. We gifted them all five goals through schoolboy errors and laziness.

What next for Scunthorpe? We simply have to beat Barnsley at home on Tuesday night. Plymouth and Peterborough are down but there's one relegation spot left and it won't be Reading. (B24ACG11, Scunthorpe fan).

MIDDLESBROUGH 1 PETERBOROUGH UNITED 0

Happy with the performance? We won and picked up three precious points but it's hardly inspiring stuff. We should be thrashing teams as hapless and poor as Peterborough and this season is shaping up into one big disappointment. (Bestie, Middlesbrough fan).

What's next for Peterborough? Jim Gannon should start planning for next season and begin cutting loose some of the dead wood we are carrying. We will be in League One next year without a doubt so let's make sure we hit the ground running. (LondonBoy, Peterborough fan).

PRESTON NORTH END 0 BLACKPOOL 0

How did Preston perform? It was obvious to see that Ian Holloway had Blackpool fired up for this game and they played as if their lives depended on it. Meanwhile, our lads played at times as though it was a pre-season kick-about against Chorley. (Scottie_McClue, Preston fan).

Did Blackpool deserve the points? We did everything right but just could not put that ball in the net. Brett Ormerod will be cursing his glaring miss for the rest of his playing career. Still it was nice to keep a clean sheet for once. (fyldeflyer, Blackpool fan).

SHEFFIELD UNITED 2 BRISTOL CITY 0

Was it a fair result? We dominated the game, especially in the second half, but we should have won by a further four or five goals, that's how good we were and how poor City were.

What next for United? What a time to be facing Nottingham Forest, a side that have won only one of their last four! We have a decent record at the City Ground as well. If we can steer clear of injuries there's no reason why we can't make the top six, although it's still a tough ask. (Jamie Furniss, sheffield-unitedmad.co.uk).

SWANSEA CITY 1 NEWCASTLE UNITED 1

What's wrong with Swansea? A quality striker with a proven goalscoring record is what we desperately need. I keep asking myself whether, if Jason Scotland was playing in this match, we would have ended up with three points instead of just one. (swanseajackarmy, Swansea fan).

Happy with the point? This was always going to be a difficult fixture as Swansea are a very good passing side, especially at home. The game showed that we are quite mediocre without both Jose Enrique and Jonas Gutierrez. Once we have Jonas on the left again and Wayne Routledge on the right, we can only improve. (bahiano, Newcastle fan).
