Town have dropped one place to seventh in League One following today’s fixtures.
The Blues were due to host Northampton at Portman Road, however, the game was called off earlier in the week due to Town’s positive Covid-19 tests. The match has been rescheduled for Tuesday 16th February.
Charlton Athletic drew 2-2 at home to Plymouth Argyle to move ahead of the Blues on goal difference and into the final play-off place.
Lincoln thrashed Burton Albion 5-1 at Sincil Bank - having won 4-0 away at Northampton last weekend - to go top of the table ahead of Portsmouth, whose home game against Swindon was postponed, also due to positive Covid tests.
Hull City’s match at Sunderland, Doncaster’s home fixture with Accrington Stanley and Peterborough’s trip to Gillingham were similarly called off, as was the Blackpool-Rochdale game.
Town’s Tuesday match at AFC Wimbledon is also off as are the Peterborough-Charlton, Bristol Rovers-Portsmouth and Hull-Lincoln games.
The Blues are next due to be in action on Saturday 2nd January when they’re due to travel to Fleetwood, however, that fixture is also in doubt.
