    It’s a deserved equaliser and Joe Hugill’s fifth of the season, on loan from Manchester United.

    Wigan are pushing here - should Callum McManaman have had a penalty kick straight after going down in the box? It looked like it from my view, half the ground away in the press box overflow area!

    GOAL: Grimsby 3-0 Port Valepublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Jason Svanthorsson (92nd minute)

    Forget that, it really is game over now!

    David Artell's substitutes have really played a starring role today.

    Having just seen Doug Tharme make it two after just coming off the bench, Jason Svanthorsson who capitalises on a huge defensive error to score from a difficult angle to complete Vale's misery.

    It is now seven without a win for Darren Moore's team.

  4. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:49 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Grimsby 2-0 Port Vale

    The fourth official has announced there will be six minutes of additional time at the end of the match.

    Darren Moore's side will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat if they are going to get anything from this one.

  5. CLOSE!published at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Wrexham 1-1 Wigan

    A lot of free-kicks near the box for Wrexham today but Steven Fletcher has just sent the latest one past Sam Tickle's post.

  6. CLOSE!published at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    Another pinpoint cross from Marc Leonard falls for Ben Davies, who can't quite stretch to convert in the middle. The kind of chance you'd want to fall to Jay Stansfield if you're a Blues fan... he'd have found the right connection in the mixer.

  7. League Two latestpublished at 16:46 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Walsall 1-0 Newport County

    Amongst all the chaos across League Two, league-leaders Walsall have taken the lead against Newport County.

    Nathan Lowe's 73rd-minute strike looks set to give Mat Sadler's side the three points at the Bescot Stadium - and with Port Vale losing, Walsall are set to go an incredible 12 points clear at the top of the division.

    At present, none of the top five in League One are on course to win today... does anyone want promotion?

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:44 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Mansfield substitute Stephen McLaughlin picks up a yellow card as he stops a Reading break forward.

    GOAL Wrexham 1-1 Wiganpublished at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Joe Hugill (79 mins)

    This game is not going to bed quietly...

    Sub Joe Hugill has levelled the scores with a booming header from Silko Thomas' left-wing cross which flies past Mark Howard at the far post to silence the Stok Cae Ras.

    Two subs combine. Shaun Maloney allows himself a satisfied smile.

    GOAL: Grimsby 2-0 Port Valepublished at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Doug Tharme (81st minute)

    The substitute makes an instant impact!

    Denver Hume's floated cross meets the head of Doug Tharme and his header beats Connor Ripley to give the hosts a 2-0 lead, which they probably deserve.

  12. CLOSE!published at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Wrexham 1-0 Wigan

    The Red Dragons are pressing to put this game to bed but Lewis Brunt has nodded over Sam Tickle's bar from a cross from Ryan Barnett, who is set to be the match-winner, as things stand.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Reading 2-1 Mansfield

    Time for two Reading changes.

    First goalscorer Mamadi Camara and Abraham Kanu are withdrawn to be replaced by Andre Garcia and Jayden Wareham.

  14. CLOSE!published at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Grimsby 1-0 Port Vale

    Chances at both ends!

    First, Danny Rose - who has been desperate for a goal all day - stings the palms of Connor Ripley, who has been one of the few Vale players to play at their best today.

    At the other end, Jesse Debrah sends in a long-throw and it eventually reaches Connor Hall but his stabbed effort is beaten out by Grimsby keeper Jordan Wright.

    Meanwhile, Grimsby have made two changes with Jayden Luker and Jordan Davies replacing Kieran Green and Doug Tharme.

    Wrexham 1-0 Wigan

    Not convincing by Sam Tickle who comes off his line to try to punch a James McClean corner for the hosts, but the keeper gets away with his flap as the Latics clear.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Amadou Mbengue is cautioned for Reading for a foul on Lee Gregory.

  17. Postpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

    A sight of goal for the hosts as Luke Harris meets a cross with his head, only for his effort to go too close to Harry Tyrer in the Blackpool goal.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:35 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Reading 2-1 Mansfield

    Two more changes for Mansfield.

  19. 'Blackpool getting closer'published at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Richard Wilford
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    Blackpool are getting closer and closer. Kyle Joseph was so unlucky with that strike off the woodwork.

    The Blues crowd deciding they have to lift the team.

    Steve Bruce and his coaching team have their side organised for this game and Blues are struggling.
