  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    This match is going exactly as you would have expected as the team going for promotion leads the side battling against relegation.

    Elliot Lee's separates the sides, but Wrexham look to go level on points with leaders Wycombe.

    The only problem for the Welsh outfit was Lee going off just before the break, although Paul Mullin is not a bad replacement.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Lincoln 1-0 Reading

    Bailey-Tye Cadamarteri's goal is the difference at the break as Lincoln look for a first win in eight league games.

    Reading have it all to do with a man less after Louie Holzman's red card.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Barrow 2-0 Fleetwood

    Barrow's blistering start sees them two goals ahead after 10 minutes but with Fleetwood beginning their ascendency, can the Cods mount yet another second half comeback after the break?

    Front man Emile Acquah opened the scoring with a header from a corner after just four minutes following a dominant start from the home side.

    Defender Theo Vassell then made it two in the tenth minute by being the first to find a stray ball in the box and walked it into goal to become Barrow's top scorer so far this season.

    Charlie Adam will need to give his Fleetwood team another magical team talk if they are to claw back a point and keep Barrow's hunt for their first win in ten matches at bay.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Doncaster 1-0 Tranmere

    Doncaster lead at the break thanks to Joseph Olowu's header.

    It's been a lively encounter with Tranmere having their fair share of chances too but Doncaster could have made it two only for Luke Molyneux to be denied by the woodwork.

    It's still nicely poised for the second half.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:16 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Doncaster 1-0 Tranmere

    Almost two for the hosts.

    Luke Molyneux gets on the end of Josh Emmanuel's cross excellently with a diving header but it comes off the inside post.

    He's unlucky there.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 13:16 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Barrow 2-0 Fleetwood

    Fleetwood's Phoenix Patterson has been a real livewire so far this match and it's his hard work that sees a flurry of corners for the visitors.

    Each corner begins a succession of shots from the Cods but each time, a Barrow player is in the way until finally Rhys Bennett unleashes a shot that gets near the goal but the Barrow keeper denies him the glory.

  7. 'Wrexham look dangerous'published at 13:13 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    When Wrexham get the ball and zip it around they look dangerous whereas when Bristol Rovers have the ball they just look a little bit laboured.

    Rovers are getting the ball forward and then losing it too easily and that is why the scoreline is what it is at the minute.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:11 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    Nearly that second goal for the Welsh club.

    Ryan Barnett delivers the cross, James McClean meets it on the volley but his effort comes back off the post.

    So unlucky!

  9. Postpublished at 13:11 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Barrow 2-0 Fleetwood

    This match is beginning to have a very different outlook from the first 10 minutes.

    Fleetwood are the ones in control but so far haven't managed to cause any real issues to worry the home side with.

    Though Barrow keeper Paul Farman does stumble when collecting a ball and for a moment, you wonder if he'll accidentally take the ball out of play with him but he succeeds in keeping it in.

    GOAL: Doncaster 1-0 Tranmerepublished at 13:10 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Joseph Olowu (38 mins)

    Deadlock broken.

    Joseph Olowu meets the ball with a looped header from Jay McGrath's knock back from a free-kick.

    A lovely headed finish that from the defender.

  11. Postpublished at 13:09 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Doncaster 0-0 Tranmere

    Good chance for Doncaster.

    Owen Bailey plays it to Billy Sharp and the striker meets the pass first time but he sees his effort brilliantly blocked by the diving Lee O'Connor.

    That was some defending by O'Connor.

  12. RED CARD - Louie Holzmanpublished at 13:08 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Lincoln 1-0 Reading

    Another blow for Reading in a difficult half as defender Louie Holzman is sent off.

    Referee Adam Herczeg reaches into his pocket and produces the red card as Holzman is deemed to be denying a goalscoring opportunity as he brings down Ben House just outside the area.

  13. Postpublished at 13:06 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    Wrexham wing-back Ryan Barnett has been one of the most dangerous players in League One this season and he shows why as he goes close with a curling effort.

    Phil Parkinson would love the cushion of a second goal for his side.

  14. Postpublished at 13:05 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Barrow 2-0 Fleetwood

    Goal scorer Theo Vassell may have helped his side gain a healthy lead but his defensive work isn't up to scratch.

    The wind betrays his clearance outside the penalty area and gifts the visitors a corner.

    The Cods can't make anything of it but the momentum is beginning to build for the Lancashire side.

    They've already made one comeback this week - can they manage another?

    Lincoln 1-0 Reading

    Not a single shot at goal yet from Reading. They are not enjoying the last Saturday before Christmas at the moment!

  16. 'They just aren't keeping possession'published at 13:01 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    Lee Mansell
    Former Bristol Rovers midfielder on BBC Radio Bristol

    Rovers are a good team when they move the ball at a good tempo, maybe one of the best in the league, but they just aren't keeping possession in key areas recently.

    They aren't making the Wrexham players move with their passing, that's the difference.

  17. Postpublished at 13:01 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    That Elliot Lee goal has Wrexham moving level with leaders Wycombe, as we stand.

    Wrexham have not been too free-flowing away from home, though, with only three wins from nine games, so Bristol Rovers must not get disheartened just yet.

  18. Postpublished at 13:00 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Barrow 2-0 Fleetwood

    Things have begun to settle for Fleetwood, though the wind surely has not and Barrow keeper Paul Farman is having a hard time battling the conditions.

    He watches a simple goal kick go out for a throw-in and it results in a cross into his box.

    Luckily for him, the visitors are also feeling the blow and the cross goes flying wide.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 12:57 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Doncaster 0-0 Tranmere

    Doncaster should probably be in front.

    Patrick Kelly wins the ball as Doncaster look to counter. He plays in Jordan Gibson who is one-on-one Luke McGee but the Tranmere keeper produces a fine save to keep it at 0-0.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 12:55 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December

    Bristol Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    A goal down and now forced into a substitution earlier than he would have liked, this managerial lark is not easy for Dave Horseman.

    Michael Forbes picks up an injury and cannot continue so Luke Thomas is sent on in his place.
