Wigan just about ended QPR's distant hopes of automatic promotion with a 1 - 0 win at Loftus Rd.
Crewe had the result of the day with a 4 - 0 thrashing of Luton. Crewe are in second, a point ahead of City having played a game more.
Oldham were 2 - 0 winners at Northampton and Bristol City 2 - 1 winners at Huddersfield, both keep the pressure on just beloew City but both have played a game more.
QPR remain in the final play off place.
