  1. Postpublished at 13:41 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Charlton 1-0 Wycombe

    Well this game has certainly come to life...

    Tyreece Campbell drifts down the left before switching play to Thierry Small on the right, he cuts inside onto his left foot and bends a arching effort not too far past the angle of post and bar from just outside the area.

  2. CLOSE!published at 13:37 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    Stockport's Callum Connolly lets fly from distance and it's inches wide.

    Connolly hasn't scored for Stockport but he was close there.

    Half-time change for Stanley as Josh Woods replaces Farrend Rawson.

    GOAL Charlton 1-0 Wycombepublished at 13:36 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Miles Leaburn (46 mins)

    Within a minute!

    Josh Edwards launches in a long throw from the right, it's headed back to him but Edwards swings in a glorious left-footed cross which finds its way to the back post where the stooping Miles Leaburn is able to stretch past his marker and steer inside the near post from close range.

    That's his seventh of the season in all competitions and two in three days at home.

    Wycombe's 19-match unbeaten streak is in jeopardy and there will be no seventh clean sheet in 11 games for Franco Ravizzoli.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    Isaac Olaofe was out very early for the second-half - well ahead of his Stockport team-mates.

    The forward did a few sprints, maybe testing an injury?

    And he can't carry on so Jack Diamond replaces him.

  6. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Getting back under way in our four early kick-offs... a couple of slow-burners which will hopefully catch light in the second 45 minutes.

    Here we go...

  8. 'Not a lot has happened here'published at 13:25 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    HT: Bromley 0-0 Swindon

    Andrew Hawes
    BBC News, Wiltshire

    Half-time here, in one sense, not a lot has happened. In another sense, that's quite good for Swindon.

    One or two chances but if the plan was to come and neutralise Bromley they've certainly done that.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:22 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Carlisle United 1-0 Accrington Stanley

    Kadeem Harris' early strike separates the two sides following an entertaining first 45 at Brunton Park.

    United can be happy with their first-half efforts and almost doubled their lead but Harris could only hit the bar with a header three yards out with the goal gaping.

    Stanley eventually grew into the game and could argue that they are unlucky to be level.

    Twice, Shaun Whalley struck the woodwork for the visitors.

    First, he saw an excellent 30 yard curler hit the underside of the bar, and then he struck the outside of the right post with Gabriel Breeze beaten following a well-directed header.

    Good game here!

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Bromley 0-0 Swindon Town

    Half-time and we're goalless at Hayes Lane.

    The visitors have probably shaded the first-half and came closest when Will Wright's lovely free-kick was just too high of Bromley keeper Grant Smith's goal

    Ian Holloway's side will have to be careful in the second half after picking up three yellow cards, two of which were awarded to their midfield engine room of Ofoborh and Gavin Kilkenny.

    Bromley did not register a shot on target in the first half and look a shadow of the side that put five goals past Newport County on Boxing Day.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Carlisle United 1-0 Accrington Stanley

    How unlucky can you get - Whalley hits the woodwork for the second time in as many minutes for Stanley!

    A cross from the righthand side picks out Stanley's number seven who manages to direct an excellent, accurate header from around 14 yards out.

    The ball skips across the Brunton Park turf and beats Breeze but hits the outside of the opposite post and then the back of the goalkeeper but the ball somehow stays out.

    Carlisle's goal living a charmed life here and Accrington will be ruing their luck

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Charlton 0-0 Wycombe

    I hate to say it, but surely the most forgettable 45 minutes of the season so far comes to an end. The only way is up...

    Had Luke Berry got a cleaner connection on his early volley from Tyreece Campbell's cut-back then we might have had a better spectacle.

  13. Postpublished at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Charlton 0-0 Wycombe

    Only one minute added at the end of the first half. Which seems generous...

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:17 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    Rotherham will be pleased with their reaction to falling behind to Louie Barry's early strike for Stockport.

    Hakeem Odoffin's leveller looked offside on first inspection but a look at the replay reveals he was level with the last defender.

    Joe Powell has had two efforts from distance for the home side while Dillon Phillips has been forced to race out of his area to prevent Stockport's Isaac Olaofe having a clean run on goal.

    It got scrappy towards the end of the half with five cautions but you get the feeling there's more to come in the second period.

  15. Postpublished at 13:16 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    Stockport's Kyle Wootton has already been cautioned and he commits a foul.

    The home players feel it necessary to remind referee Leigh Doughty of the visiting forward's record in this game.

    There's a lengthy chat of the 'this is your final warning' nature between official and player.

    Wootton's a lucky man.

    We're into stoppage time.

  16. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:16 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Carlisle United 1-0 Accrington

    OH WHAT A STRIKE! Accrington desperately unlucky not to be level.

    Shaun Whalley picks the ball up 30 yards from goal, cuts inside, and bends a superb effort towards the top corner.

    It beats United keeper Gabriel Breeze but hits the underside of the bar and away.

    Closest Stanley have come in this first half.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Carlisle United 1-0 Accrington Stanley

    Dominic Sadi goes into the book for Carlisle following a late tackle on halfway on Accrington skipper Seamus Conneely.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:12 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    That's a fifth yellow card in next to no time.

    This time it's the Rotherham captain Jonson Clarke-Harris who has his name taken.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:11 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Carlisle United 1-0 Accrington Stanley

    Carlisle so close to doubling their lead!

    A deep free-kick reaches Aaron Hayden who keeps the ball alive and turns it back to Kadeem Harris who can only hit the bar with a header under pressure from only three yards out.

    That would have really settled United fans nerves five minutes before going into half-time.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:10 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Rotherham 1-1 Stockport

    Callum Connolly takes one for the team as Rotherham break away.

    Malik Wilks is free if he can be found so Connolly drags him down off the ball on the halfway line - it's a simple caution.
