A goal from John McAtee gave Barnley the lead at halftime and Pines doubled this lead just minutes into the second half. However, a goal from Victor Adeboyejo got Bolton into the game and a 98th minute goal from Randell Williams grabbed the 2 - 2 draw for Bolton. The visit from Lincoln was one to forget.

Matt Taylor gave Cheltenham the lead in the ninth minute, but an own goal from Elliot Bonds early in the second half drew Wigan level.

Cheltenham failed to register a single shot on target against Wycombe as both Joe Low and Beryly Lubala scored in the last five minutes of the game to give Wycombe the 2 - 0 win.
The visit from Burton Albion saw Cheltenham fail to register a shot on target again as both teams failed to find the back of the net as the game finished in a 0 - 0 draw. Charlton took a 1 - 0 lead into halftime with a goal from Daniel Kanu but Liam Sercombe equalised with 20 minutes to go. However, late goals from Tyreeq Bakinson and Alfie May gave Charlton the 3 - 1 win.
The most recent outing for Cheltenham was against Oxford United. Josh Murphy gave Oxford the lead in the added time of the first half, but Will Ferry drew Cheltenham level in the 80th minute. But just eight minutes later, Greg Leigh scored to secure the 2 - 1 win for Oxford United.
Barnsley and Cheltenham have only met five times in their histories, the first meeting coming back in 2002. Barnsley have a far better record, with four wins in comparison to Cheltenham who are yet to beat The Tykes, with the first meeting between the two ending in a draw.
