'Exeter using the dark arts well'published at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Birmingham 0-0 Exeter

Truthfully, Exeter are practicing the dark arts pretty well so far.
If I worked in PR I'd say: "They're not bad challenges, just enthusiastic!"
GOAL: Walsall 1-1 MK Donspublished at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
David Okagbue (32 mins)
The league leaders are back level!
Dons keeper Tom McGill spills an inswinging corner right on his goal-line, and David Okagbue stabs home.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
Baily Cargill goes into referee Sam Purkiss' naughty book for a pretty robust challenge - no arguments there.

Bottom of the league Burton have taken the lead against relegation rivals Crawley, with Rumarn Burrell making it 1-0.
Just a little higher in the table, Cambridge still hold their 1-0 lead against Bolton thanks to Josh Stokes.
Stockport seems to have settled into their tie with Reading, and are yet to add to their 2-0 lead.
Rotherham are now 2-0 up against Charlton thanks to goals from Andre Green and Alex MacDonald.
Elsewhere it’s still goalless between Bristol Rovers and Barnsley, and Stevenage v Wigan.

Birmingham 0-0 Exeter
Both goalkeepers have required treatment in this first period but Ryan Allsop and Joe Whitworth are fine to continue.
It's, well, quiet...

Birmingham 0-0 Exeter
We're struggling for goalmouth incidents in the midlands - credit to Exeter who are at St Andrews in the EFL for the first time since November 1991 - for the record they lost 1-0 that day.

Notts County have broken the deadlock at the Wham Stadium thanks to George Abbott's goal to lead Accrington.
Jordan Davies has put Grimsby in front against Chesterfield.
Ben Garrity has just equalised for Port Vale to make it 1-1 against Newport.
AFC Wimbledon v Tranmere and Morecambe v Crewe are the only two games which are goalless.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15:28 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Morecambe 0-0 Crewe
A big opportunity for Crewe to take the lead in this game.
Jack Lankester plays a curling pass to Matus Holicek who in space gets a shot off but Morecambe keeper Harry Burgoyne gets down to his left to keep the ball out.
Postpublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
Scott Flinders, in his 600th professional career appearance, is called into action in the Mansfield goal to save from Beryly Lubala.
'Boateng shot almost a throw-in'published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
James Perch
Former Mansfield defender on BBC Nottingham
That hit from Hiram Boateng was such a wayward shot it was almost a throw-in.
But he doesn't need me to tell him that...
'Wycombe strikers lively'published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
James Perch
Former Mansfield defender on BBC Nottingham
Wycombe's front three are very lively and they seem to have loads of space.
Mansfield need to limit that as much as possible.
You can see why they've scored so many goals.
Postpublished at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
Neither side have found their shooting boots yet.
Daniel Harvie and Richard Kone have both shot over for the visitors and the home side's Hiram Boateng has hit one hopelessly off target.
George Maris' header against the bar is the closest we've come so far.
Postpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Birmingham 0-0 Exeter
There's a good chance for Birmingham to take a firm grip on top spot today with Wrexham losing on Thursday, Huddersfield drawing at Blackpool this lunchtime and we're waiting to see how Wycombe will react to losing their manager.
They're yet to create anything in a quiet opening to this one though.
Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Northampton 0-1 Lincoln
Timothy Eyoma has come close to an equaliser for Northampton but his effort goes just wide of the post.
Lincoln keeper Zach Jeacock is then called into action as he denies Tom Eaves' header from Mitch Pinnock's cross.
'Exeter defence has loads of time'published at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Birmingham 0-0 Exeter
Alan Tonge
Former Exeter midfielder on BBC Radio Devon
Exeter defender Kevin McDonald has got all the time in the world at the moment, so he'll be happy with that.
He won't want the Birmingham forwards going at him.

GOAL: Walsall 0-1 MK Donspublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Scott Hogan (13 mins)
The visitors have the lead!

He then fires the ball in at the near post to give The Dons an early lead!
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Birmingham 0-0 Exeter
Ryans Woods collects a caution for Exeter for a challenge on Ethan Laird.

Josh Stokes has given Cambridge a surprising 1-0 lead away to Bolton; his first goal for the club. A win would be a huge boost to the side on a five-game losing streak.
In a play-off chasing clash, Reading have fallen behind 2-0 to Stockport behind to early goals from Macauley Southam-Hales and Callum Connolly.
Rotherham have also taken a 1-0 lead against Charlton.
Elsewhere, it’s Bristol Rovers 0-0 Barnsley, Crawley 0-0 Burton, and Stevenage 0-0 Wigan.
Postpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January
Mansfield 0-0 Wycombe
Daniel Harvie gets a sight of goal for Wycombe but he won't get his second of the season as he lifts his effort over the bar.
