That result saw Bury drop no fewer than three places in the table. Blackpool themselves are now above them, as are Walsall who beat Wrexham and new leaders Wigan. They had a slow start to the season but are now the side very much in form and they went to Tranmere and won 3-0.
Biggest winners of the day were Oldham. They hit bottom club Morecambe for six and remain one place above the Clarets with one point more. The table currently sees Burnley just six points behind the leaders, and having seen a couple of our defeats that could and should have ended in wins we could do easily have been right up there.
Bury should have been our opponents this weekend, but the Youth Cup tie against Arsenal beckons on Friday, kick off 7:00 p.m. at Accrington with the winners set to play Liverpool at Anfield in the fourth round.
