Port Vale’s League 1 season continued with a draw against Coventry at Vale Park on Sunday.
A late second half equaliser secured Vale a point against Coventry, who saw their own promotion hopes damaged with the Valiants’ own top six hopes perhaps boosted by this point.
Jacob Murphy, after Coventry ‘keeper Reice Charles-Cook had denied Vale several times, put the Sky Blues ahead just before the break with Sam Kelly rescuing a point on 84-minutes to extend the unbeaten home run to 10-matches.
These were the other results.

Looking at these results the stand out ones have to be the wins for Wigan (two-nil), Millwall (three-nil) and Barnsley (three-nil) for me.
Wigan are looking a good bet for a top two automatic place and at this stage you wouldn’t bet against them coming through to win the title with the two-nil win at Sheffield United leaving them well placed but the Bramall Lane defeat was a setback for the Blades’ own hopes.
Another side, perhaps not looking like they’ll challenge for automatic (unless the impressive run continues), that looks good for a top six finish and a play-off place is Millwall with them going away from second place Walsall with a three-nil win at the Banks’ Stadium.
Barnsley recovered from the loss of boss Lee Johnson, who opted to leave for former club Bristol City, in positive fashion with a three-nil win over Bury at Oakwell to keep the winning run going to leave them looking for to come from relegation trouble to a play-off place perhaps!
