What a fun bonus night of EFL football that was.

Enough to tide us over until the weekend, certainly.

Oldham rolled back the years (decades?) with a brilliant display to dismantle League Two promotion-chasers Notts County and give real hope they might be timing their own promotion run to perfection.

Port Vale's gloom has deepened in League One, but Doncaster took a big step towards safety with a 1-0 win in tonight's other game.

Thanks for your company tonight, and for all your messages, we'll be back on Saturday for a slightly truncated EFL programme due to international call-ups.

Our early kick-off will see Notts County on the road again at Harrogate while Oldham will seek to keep their run going among our 15:00 GMT offering.

Until then, goodbye!

Here's what that 1-0 win for Doncaster over Port Vale tonight does to the League One table.

Five games without defeat now for Rovers for the first time this season (W3 D2) and they are up to 15th, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Time is running out for any valiant escape for Jon Brady's side, who remain 11 points adrift of safety at the bottom.

What Micky Mellon has done is ridiculous.

The football I witnessed today compared to a couple of months ago, it's unbelievable.

Ollie Norburn let his team down tonight. He didn't need to make that challenge [for his second yellow, leading to a red card].

A good night for the automatic-promotion chasers as Notts County miss the chance to move into the top three.

Oldham are a juggernaut of momentum at present and Grimsby, and even Salford, will be increasingly nervous about holding on to their current play-off place.

Quite right, Rich. Let's take a look, shall we?

Micky Mellon will be buzzing about what his team have delivered tonight. It's been a great watch, it really has.

If you didn't know where Oldham were in the league and you were watching that tonight, you'd think they were going to finish first or second.

I've seen progression in terms of getting better and better and that was unbelievable from Oldham tonight.

I said it in the first half. Are we watching Manchester City? Honestly, how quick it was going from their own 18-yard box to the other end. It was so fast.

Promoted last season from the National League. They've got a real opportunity to go back-to-back.

A terrific performance from Oldham. They have moved right on the edge of the play-offs.

Let us know if you're off to get a haircut, Ben.

That could be a big night for both sides in League One.

Is that the win that will help Doncaster well on their way to safety? Are Port Vale all but down?

Jamie Sterry's deflected effort off Elijah Campbell is enough for the hosts to secure all three points.

Rovers move up to 15th and eight points clear of the drop. The Valiants remain rooted to the foot of the table, 11 points adrift of safety.

Oldham are coming for a second straight promotion, make no mistake about that.

The Latics are unbeaten in 10, have kept clean sheets in eight of their past nine games - giving Mat Hudson a new club record of 18 for the season - and are now a point behind the play-off places in ninth after a fifth straight win.

Kane Drummond's blockbuster solo goal on the break after five minutes set the tone, and though County huffed and puffed on a filthy night before the break, Ollie Norburn's red-card for a second booking seconds after the interval ended the game as a contest.

Mike Fondop rounded-off another devastating counter with a low finish and then capitalised on Lucas Ness' poor backpass to slam the third.

County will have better days to come, but Oldham have fired a warning shot to the top-seven that they fancy another trip to Wembley, 12 months on from beating Southend under the arch to earn their EFL place.

The 'ole's' are ringing around Boundary Park as Oldham pop it about.

Is there a worse feeling as a travelling fan than hearing that?

I think with the confidence Oldham will have in that changing room, I don't see why they can't push for the play-offs.

They've got some difficult games but if you look at the position they are in now compared to three months ago, everyone in this ground will be proud regardless if they make play-offs or not.

FIVE added minutes for 10-man County to endure, or for the Latics to try and add to their tally.

Very magnanimous, Kieran. The better side have certainly come out on top. But it will be interesting to hear the post-match comments from the County side of things. I have a feeling ref Andrew Humphries might be interested in them too.

The rain continues to drive in sideways from the left end of Boundary Park but the jeopardy has long since dissipated.

Tom Pett has the chance to whip in a free-kick from near the right corner flag but County are able to clear their lines.

Latics goalscorers Mike Fondop and Kane Drummond are heading off. No match-ball for Fondop tonight.

Joe Garner and Kane Taylor are on in their stead for the final knockings of this one.

They didn't take their foot off the gas. Their work ethic has been fantastic. If you can apply that ethic and attitude, what they've delivered tonight is something they can continue.

If I had to give you my best player tonight, it would have to be Kane Drummond. He's been immense.

Oldham's work feels like it's done as some intensity drips out of the game.

They have bolstered their goal difference to the point where it is now +16 - equal or better than all-but two of their play-off chasing rivals.

Indeed, as things stand the U's will stay two points above County in the third automatic promotion spot, and have a game in hand too.

Reece Brown
Ex-Oldham defender on BBC Radio Manchester

I think it's the right thing to do [the subs]. They've got some important games remaining. We can definitely say now that Oldham are fighting for the play-offs.

And they've got players on the bench that can make things happen.
