    Two clear penalties not given, what role has this ref got in Deadpool 4?

    Anon

    Both those chances at Southampton in the box are penalties in the Prem...

    Gillihno.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 9 August

    And now a double swap for the home side.

    Ben Sheaf and Miguel Brau are on for Frank Lampard's men, it's a Coventry debut for the latter.

    Referee James Bell has been unpopular with both teams and sets of fans today.

    Wrexham think they should have a penalty for Jack Stephens foul on Lewis O'Brien, while Southampton want one as Joshua Quarshie falls under pressure from Max Cleworth.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Ross Stewart is coming on for Saints, replacing defender Ronnie Edwards.

    I'd struggle to tell you the Saints formation now but it's something like 2-4-4.

    Will Still is not going to die wondering...

  5. Break in playpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Watford's James Abankwah is down receiving treatment on the pitch which gives the green light for everyone to take a breath and grab a drink.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull City

    On comes Joe Gelhardt for the away side in place of Abu Kamara.

    The forward joined up for another loan spell from Leeds this morning.

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 14:08 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Joshua Quarshie is not happy as he has his shirt pulled by Sam Smith as he tries to get free to meet a cross at the back-post, tumbling to turf with an imploring look at James Bell, only for the referee to say nothing doing.

    Seen 'em given category, is that, he rightly feels hard done by.

  8. CLOSE!published at 14:07 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    For a moment Lewis O'Brien looked like he would seal the game for Wrexham.

    He nipped in with a header on halfway to dash into acres of green space ahead of him, but he takes one touch too many on the edge of the box and Jack Stephens is able to muscle his way back in to guide the ball through to Gavin Bazunu.

    Huge chance goes begging.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:06 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Multiple changes at the 72 minutes mark.

    Charlie Kelman's afternoon is over with Miles Leaburn replacing the Charlton striker.

    Watford boss Paulo Pezzolano makes a triple switch with Moussa Sissoko, Imran Louza and Mamadou Doumbia off and Jack Grieves, Edo Kayembe and Tom Ince replacing them.

  10. Postpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Ryan Longman's first involvement is to swing in a perfect cross from the right flank which none of his Wrexham team-mates gamble on.

    He waves his arms in frustration as the ball sails across the six yard box and out the other side.

  11. Close!published at 14:04 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Glorious opportunity for Watford as Jeremy Ngakia slings a perfect cross in from the right sideline and Hector Kyprianou gets a free header but can't direct it goalwards.

    That was their best chance and they have fluffed it.

  12. 'Coady has been immense'published at 14:03 British Summer Time 9 August

    Conor Coady has been superb, he's been immense in the heart of that Wrexham defence.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    We're at cramp o'clock, 70 minutes into a lunchtime game on a very hot opening day.

    Players from both sides are down on the deck.

    Ryan Manning is coming on for Wellington at left-back for the hosts while Cameron Archer is on for Flynn Downes.

    Wrexham are swapping Josh Windass, the match-winner at present, for debutant Ryan Hardie with Ryan Longman replacing Ryan Barnett.

    So many Ryans... Fraser is still on for Saints too.

    Jon Evans: I hope the EFL never implement VAR. Football is so much better without it, as I'm reminded every time I watch EFL games.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:00 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull City

    The away side make a double change as Oli McBurnie, who joined very recently, and Kasey Palmer come on for Regan Slater and Kyle Joseph.

  16. Postpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Joshua Quarshie is rapid.

    The Saints debutant is alive to the danger as Wrexham seek to spring a counter and send Sam Smith down the right but Quarshie gets across and uses his strength to win the ball back and find keeper Gavin Bazunu.

    Straight down the other end and there's another glimpse of goal for Jay Robinson who fires too close to Danny Ward, while Mateus Fernandes fires just past the post seconds later.

    Can't take your eyes off it.

  17. 'There's not much in the game'published at 13:58 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Geoff Doyle
    Commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio

    It's 0-0 but it's exciting as there's not much in the game.

    Charlton have had chances but Watford have been the better team.

    Wrexham's fans are having a party in the away end, bouncing up and down and singing constantly.

    It's 43 years since they last saw their team at this level, and they're savouring every moment.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:57 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Watford's big summer signing Nestory Irankunda, latterly of Swiss side Grasshoppers where he was on loan from parent club Bayern Munich, is on for Kwadwo Baah.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:56 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull City

    The home side go to their bench and striker Haji Wright is on for forward Ephron Mason-Clark for the remaining 23 minutes or so.
