Connor Barrett may have to argue with the adjudicators over whether the opener is his goal or not so he tries again as he drives down the right but his shot is saved by James Belshaw.

Walsall are on top.

An early blow for play-off chasing Bolton.

Jordi Osei-Tutu has been forced off with injury after 18 minutes and is replaced by John McAtee.

Vale have got to settle things down.

When they have had the ball, they've gone direct each time. Carlisle have been scrappy so far, but that's expected.

They've done well in putting pressure on the Carlisle goal.

Aaron Collins cuts inside from the left flank for Bolton and hits a powerful effort but it's always rising and flies over the bar.

The extremely sad news announced this morning about the death of Joe Thompson has led to a huge number of warm tributes to the much-loved former footballer.

The 36-year-old was diagnosed with cancer for a third time in April last year, five years after he retired from playing.

The Bath-born player began and finished his career with Rochdale, and had three spells with the club.

He also played for Carlisle and a minute's applause was held in his memory before kick-off of their game against Port Vale.

Good work from Matt Dennis sees him get to the byline and cut the ball back for Kadeem Harris - his shot strikes a defender and there are optimistic appeals for handball and a penalty - referee Martin Wood is having none of it.

Ryan Croasdale finds some space in the box for Port Vale and Cameron Harper has to lunge across the block the shot.

From the corner Jack Shorrock heads over.

It's a funny game, you can tell Port Vale are nervy, you can tell we are as well.

It's been a good start to this game, so much riding on it for both sides.

You can tell which sides are at the respective ends of the League One table so far in Wales.

Wrexham are dominating the opening 11 minutes or so and Bristol Rovers are already having to dig deep and defend their penalty area.

Jed Ward again does well in the visiting goal to claw away Oliver Rathbone's goalbound cross-shot.

A first look at goal for the home side but Jamille Matt's header is safely fielded by visiting skipper James Belshaw in the Harrogate goal.

An early goal would surely settle any Walsall nerves and ease the pressure?

Max Cleworth strides towards the edge of the box for Wrexham and let's fly.

It takes a wicked deflection off Connor Taylor and flies on target towards the near post but Jed Ward does brilliantly to dive to his left and parry it away.

Kristian Dennis has had an early effort over the bar for Tranmere but neither side has properly settled.

Wycombe summariser on BBC Three Counties Radio

They're giving Bolton too much respect, the home side know how big a win over Wycombe will be today.

They need to get in their face and take the game to them.

Bright start from the hosts at Hayes Lane.

Bromley's Cam Congreve's free-kick is met by marksman Michael Cheek but his flick-on is well intercepted by good defending by Morecambe.

Minutes later, Cheek receives the ball in space 18 yards out but the League Two leading goalscorer leans back with his effort and shoots over with a side-footed shot when he should have hit the target.

Cameron Harper loops in a cross for Carlisle and Matt Dennis rises to head towards goal but can't keep his effort down.

A bright opening from both sides.

George Thomason has the first sight of goal in this one for Bolton as he flashes an effort from the edge of the box narrowly over the bar.

Wanderers are looking to bounce back from two straight defeats to get their play-off bid back on track.

Carlisle drastically reduced admission prices today and Brunton Park is bursting at the seams.

A few flutters for those home fans as a mad scramble in the six-yard area eventually sees the ball booted away.
