Blackpool 1-0 Watford

Port Vale 1-3 Wolves

Kenny Jackett, from the day that he got in, said the emphasis would be on a youthful and hungry team and I think his remit has been to get a disciplined, organised and together team. That's something that Wolves haven't had in the last few seasons and they've paid the price for that, but this season he's got them going and they really have grown into the season. I do see them as a genuine automatic promotion contender. The supporters are voting with their feet, they're getting very big crowds by League One standards and there's a different atmosphere on the terraces. A new manager has come in and the fans are appreciating that they're going into a different buying market and giving younger, home-grown players an opportunity. The fans are really identifying with that and getting right behind the team.

Colchester 1-2 Leyton Orient

This was Leyton Orient's biggest test so far, there's no doubt about that. They've beaten the likes of Carlisle, Shrewsbury and Stevenage but it's not really another three games before they come up against anybody that we would consider serious promotion contenders in Brentford away and that will be a test. David Mooney and Kevin Lisbie look like a really good combination. Kevin Lisbie has been around the block a few times, for a good long while and never really struck me as an out-and-out goalscorer, but last season and this season he's made a huge contribution with the goals and experience that he brings to the team.
