Wycombe went top of Coca-Cola League Two after a 3-1 home victory over Bournemouth allowed them to capitalise on Bury's 3-3 draw at Aldershot.

Matt Harrold (40), Chris Zebroski (60) and Scott McGleish (84) were all on target, with Danny Hollands (57) responding for the hosts.

Bury squandered a three-goal lead given to them by Andy Bishop (24 and 57) and Paul Scott (30), with Rob Elvins (69), Scott Davies (77) and Daniel Hylton (79) fighting back for the home side.

Shrewsbury remain third after a 1-1 draw at Darlington, Sean Thornton (71) cancelling out Alan White's goal (55) for the hosts.

Charlie MacDonald's 15th-minute goal was enough to give Brentford victory over Macclesfield and keep them in fourth, while Dagenham & Redbridge moved up to fifth after Paul Benson (31) and Matt Ritchie (68) scored in the 2-0 win at Rochdale.

Two goals from Adam Stansfield (39 and 43) and one from Richard Logan (seven) lifted Exeter up to seventh after a 3-0 win at home to Gillingham.

Ten-man Bradford were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom side Luton having had Paul Heckingbottom sent off in the 75th minute.

Barry Conlon (79) had put the Bantams ahead only for Michael Spillane (86) to equalise.

Rotherham finally moved on to a positive points total after a 4-1 victory over fellow strugglers Grimsby.

Danny Boshell had given the visitors a 29th-minute lead but goals from Reuben Reid (49), Mark Hudson (57), Michael Cummins (69) and Richie Barker (80) turned things around.

Barnet were 2-1 winners at Accrington Stanley with John O'Flynn, who also missed a penalty, and Ismail Yakubu scoring either side of Colin Murdock's goal for the visitors, who had substitute Robbie Williams sent off.

Morecambe and Chesterfield drew 2-2 as goals from Stuart Drummond (10) and Rene Howe (85) cancelled out efforts from the Spireites' Gregor Robertson (16) and Jamie Ward (21).

Janos Kovacs (45) and Adrian Patulea (57) scored in Lincoln's 2-0 win at Chester, while Jamie Forrester (six) and Myles Weston (66) were on target in Notts County's 2-1 win at Port Vale, whose goal came from Luke Rodgers (48).

f a club level board interfered and told their manager who he could or couldn't pick as captain the press would be screaming bloody murder as it's the managers job. As they all want Dirty 'Arry the negativity that surrounded Mourinho, Curbishley, etc... having their board poke their nose in has gone.

nless your a Liverpool fan, do you really give a s**t what Suarez thinks or says?? I'm more bothered what I'm having for dinner tonight!! I won't even waste my time booing him for two reasons...first, I don't think he is worth wasting that amount of energy on, and second, I'm a United fan and would rather spend it encouraging my own.
