It’s been a very good start to the season for Bolton with the winning once again after two-one win, which seems to be a familiar scoreline for the Trotters, over Fleetwood with Bradford collecting a third win of the week when seeing off Coventry three-one.
Millwall recovered well from a heavy midweek defeat at Peterborough (beat at Oxford this time) to win at the Den against Sheffield United, who had themselves suffered a heavy defeat at home to Southend in the previous match with their early season struggles continuing.
Now it looks like Charlton, having won for the first time this season in the last match, have got their season up and running with another win collected at Walsall as the Addicks won two-one.
But the big winners were Scunthorpe who thrashed Gillingham give-nil at Glanford Park.
