Sheff Utd 2-0 Stoke
Stoke defender Ashley Philips fires a shot wide as they look for a way back into this game.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 26 October
Derby 0-1 Hull City
No messing about from Paul Warne who responds to his side falling a goal down by making a triple sub.
Ben Osborn, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Dajaune Brown are all on.
CLOSE!published at 16:19 British Summer Time 26 October
West Brom 0-0 Cardiff
Callum Robinson goes close twice in quick succession for Cardiff with his second effort veering just wide.
Postpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 26 October
I was just about to post that we'd had more goals at Home Park than in all of the other 15:00 BST games in the Championship combined when Xavier Simons scored for Hull City.
Does that still count as tempting fate?
I'll take it either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
'Bittersweet but great for Issaka'published at 16:17 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 1-3 Preston
Ryan Dickson
Former Plymouth and Southampton defender on BBC Radio Devon
It's a great moment for Frederick Issaka.
It's bittersweet but it's what he's been waiting for.
GOAL: Derby 0-1 Hull Citypublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 26 October
Xavier Simons (57 mins)
Two in two for Xavier Simons!
The Chelsea loanee gives the Tigers the lead with a fine strike from range.

GOAL: Plymouth 1-3 Prestonpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 26 October
Freddie Issaka (55 mins)
Hang on a minute! Could this be a lifeline for Plymouth?
Adam Randell hits a free-kick from 25 yards and it's parried out by Freddie Woodman to 18-year-old Freddie Issaka who knocks it back into an empty net.
A first ever goal for the club for the teenager on his first start this season and perhaps a glimmer of hope for Wayne Rooney's side yet.
'Wheels are falling off'published at 16:13 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 0-3 Preston
John Acres
BBC commentator on Final Score
The wheels are falling off Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle at the moment.
But wait...
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 26 October
Sunderland 1-0 Oxford
The home side come so close to doubling their lead but Jobe Bellingham sees his shot come back off the crossbar.
'A mountain to climb for Stoke'published at 16:12 British Summer Time 26 October
Sheff Utd 2-0 Stoke
Simon Humphreys
BBC Radio Stoke commentator
Sheffield United have got their tail up now.
It's a mountain to climb for Stoke.
Postpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 0-3 Preston
Plymouth are leaking goals without reply in the past week.
A quick reminder that Argyle lost 5-0 away at Cardiff last weekend and 1-0 at Millwall in midweek.
They're three down today, making it nine without reply since the international break.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 26 October
Burnley 0-0 QPR
QPR hit the bar early in the first half and now Burnley do the same at the start of the second.
Connor Roberts has Paul Nardi beaten with an effort from outside the box but the ball strikes the crossbar and bounces out behind.
Almost.
GOAL: Sheff Utd 2-0 Stokepublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 26 October
Tyrese Campbell (50 mins)

The curse of the ex strikes again!
Tyrese Campbell gets his first goal for Sheffield United against the team he left in the summer.
The forward fires a low shot past Viktor Johansson in the Potters goal and the visitors have a mountain to climb now.
The Blades have kept four successive clean sheets at Bramall Lane.
'Naivety again from Plymouth'published at 16:10 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 0-3 Preston
Ryan Dickson
Former Plymouth and Southampton defender on BBC Radio Devon
Start of the second half and it's naivety again from Plymouth.
Postpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 26 October
Swansea 0-0 Millwall
The hosts are almost in straight away in the second half as Josh Tymon gets forward and squares the ball for Joshua Key but the defender can't quite get enough contact on it, with Lukas Jensen able to get a hand to it and make the stop.
Millwall then get forward and the Swans defence are just able to block the cross from Duncan Watmore.
'Plenty of work to do for Oxford'published at 16:08 British Summer Time 26 October
Sunderland 1-0 Oxford
Eddie Odhiambo
Former Oxford defender on BBC Radio Oxford
There's plenty of work to do out on the pitch for Oxford in this second half.
All the tactical solutions have been addressed but the technical ones still exist.
GOAL: Plymouth 0-3 Prestonpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 26 October
Brad Potts (48 mins)
This should be game over.
Brad Potts gets on the end of a ball played straight through the middle and dinks excellently over the onrushing Dan Grimshaw in the Plymouth goal.
Preston are 3-0 up and Wayne Rooney is surely a manager under a lot of pressure now.
The Lilywhites are up to 10th as things stand!
Postpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 26 October
Derby 0-0 Hull City
Hull City boss Tim Walter has made a double change at the break.
Kasey Palmer and Abdus Omur are on in midfield for Gustavo Puerta and Regan Slater.
Second halfpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 26 October
We're getting back under way in our seven Championship games.
Just four goals across those seven games in the first half, surely this 45 minutes will be more goal-laden?
'Disappointing from Plymouth'published at 15:55 British Summer Time 26 October
HT: Plymouth 0-2 Preston
Alan Seabrook
BBC Radio Devon commentator
Disappointing from Plymouth, they have a lot to do.
Wayne Rooney has certainly got something to think about.
Very frustrating.
Preston have made the most of some very basic errors at the back.
