Charlton missed the chance to join Leeds at the top of the League I table after being held to a goalless draw by Oldham at The Valley.

With Leeds not in action due to international call-ups, the Addicks had the opportunity to draw level but could not breach the defence of ninth-placed Oldham and remained second.

Kayode Odejayi, whose goal downed Town seven days previously, was on target as Colchester capitalised on Bristol Rovers’ inactivity to go third with a 1-0 win at Leyton Orient.

The on-loan Barnsley striker netted from close range nine minutes into the second half for his fourth goal in three games since moving from Oakwell as Aidy Boothroyd’s side leapfrogged the Pirates.

Jermaine Easter netted his sixth of the season as MK Dons claimed a 1-0 win over Walsall.

Paul Ince’s side also climbed above Rovers, moving fourth after their seventh win of the season.

Former Colchester boss Paul Lambert’s remarkable run at Norwich continued with a 1-0 win at Carlisle, with Wes Hoolahan on target from 12 yards shortly before the interval.

Lambert, who replaced Bryan Gunn in August, now has five wins and one defeat from nine league matches in charge, taking the Canaries to sixth in the standings.

Town old boy Danny Schofield’s late strike earned Millwall a 1-1 draw at Swindon.
