Meanwhile, Alex Revell grabbed a brace for Swindon as they moved into the play-off zone with a 3-2 win at Brentford, the second a 20-yard cracker.
That's half what he scored for Blues over a couple of seasons and in only 5 games! Charlie MacDonald scored for the Bees.
In League Two our other on-loan striker, James Walker, gave Hereford an 80th minute lead before Dagenham and Redbridge equalised in the final minute.
League News
Coca-Cola are to withdraw from sponsoring the Football League at the end of the 2009/10 season after failing to agree a new deal.
The soft drinks firm, who has been the title sponsor since 2004, are understood to have offered around £6million a year, the price of their current three-year agreement, which was not accepted by the League.
The news follows the Premier League's decision to turn down Barclays' £72million offer for the next three years and energy suppliers E.ON have not renewed their backing of the FA Cup.
A joint statement by the Football League and Coca-Cola read: "Both the Football League and Coca-Cola Great Britain have valued their six-year relationship and both parties are committed to continuing discussions about an ongoing commercial partnership. The Football League would like to thank Coca-Cola for their support and continued commitment."
The League have also stated they are currently in "discussions with a number of companies about the title sponsorship opportunity", with E.ON believed to be one of the favourites.
