    Watford 0-1 Coventry

    One-way traffic.

    Ellis Simms goes through but is denied by Daniel Bachmann, with Josh Eccles unable to turn the rebound into the net, firing over.

    Jack Rudoni then fires inches past the upright after the restart and another chance is then scrambled away from the goalmouth.

    Watford need half-time already.

    Barrow sit top in the dreaded as-it-stands table and have gone further ahead away to Grimsby.

    Theo Vassell heads in Ben Jackson's corner to make it 2-0 at Blundell Park.

    And Ronan Coughlan has put Fleetwood in control at struggling Carlisle. They also lead 2-0.

  3. CLOSE!published at 15:31 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Watford 0-1 Coventry

    The Sky Blues are at it today.

    Danish wizard Victor Torp is highly influential already and it's his cross to Ephron Mason-Clark which the City forward can only send over the bar.

    Tom Cleverley's men look a little shell-shocked.

    The Rams take the lead.

    Kenzo Goudmijn makes it two in two with a crisp low finish from Callum Elder's ball into the area.

    Derby have won their past eight league games at home and they're set fair to make it nine now.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 QPR

    The home side won their first league game 4-0 but they haven't scored in their past three.

    Josh Windass leathers a decent chance over the crossbar as the home side search for an opener.

    Swansea 1-0 Norwich

    As Gareth said earlier, this one is as open as my cupboards when I get home from a long day.

    Norwich forward Josh Sargent is looking to extend the S surname goal streak to an eleventh goal but is denied by Swansea keeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

    It's then Angus Gunn who needs to put his gloves to use after Eom Ji-sung's shot is forced over the bar.

    Goals are all but guaranteed in this one.

    A clear penalty - Chris Rigg pushed in the back John Brooks had a look and pointed to the spot.

    Patrick Roberts walks over, rolls it in 1-0 to Sunderland and 1-0 to Patrick Roberts.

    Steve Bruce's reign at Blackpool starts with a bang! CJ Hamilton gives the Seasiders the lead against Exeter.

    It lifts them straight out of the League One relegation zone...talk about instant impact?!

  9. CLOSE!published at 15:26 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Watford 0-1 Coventry

    Ephron Mason-Clark is denied a second for the Sky Blues by an instinctive save from his close-range finish from Hornets keeper Daniel Bachmann.

    Milan van Ewijk's cross was possibly a touch behind him but that really could have been 2-0.

    Watford 0-1 Coventry

    Derek Payne
    Former Watford midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio

    Mason Clark just ghosted inside and is free from six yards out. To be fair, it is behind him but he should still score. It could already be 3-1 this game.

    Patrick Roberts, pen (24 mins)

    The breakthrough.

    Bali Mumba fouls Chris Rigg in the box and Patrick Roberts steps up to coolly put the leaders ahead from 12 yards with Dan Grimshaw diving the wrong way. That's his first league goal of the season.

    They are on their way to a fifth win a row.

    Plymouth 0-0 Sunderland

    First shot on goal of the game and it's Chris Rigg for Sunderland who draws the save from Dan Grimshaw after good work from Eli Mayenda.

    Positive start from the visitors after the 400-mile trek down to Devon.

    Steve Bruce is given a warm reception as he’s introduced to the crowd and takes his place in the dugout.

    It looks very much like his first line-up is in a 4-4-2 shape as Blackpool search for first league win of the season.

    Eventful start at Bromley where Jodi Jones has won and converted a penalty to pull Notts County back to 2-1 behind.

    Elsewhere, Sam Foley has given third-placed Barrow the lead at Grimsby, and Danny Mayor's goal for Fleetwood has put the Cod Army ahead at Carlisle.

    And Chesterfield have fallen behind to Ethan Chislett's second goal in two games at Port Vale.

    GOAL - Blackburn 1-0 Bristol Citypublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Lewis Travis (17 mins)

    The in-form home side hit the front!

    Bristol City goalkeeper Max O'Leary will not want to see this back.

    His under-hit pass is intercepted by Rovers skipper Lewis Travis and the midfielder keeps his cool to fire into the unguarded net.

  17. GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 Prestonpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Tommy Conway (16 mins)

    Middlesbrough have come to play.

    Luke Ayling sends in a lovely cross to Tommy Conway, who races past Jack Whatmough to set up for goal. He's ice cold as he puts it away.

    The Boro are looking mighty dominant. Preston will need to steady the ship as soon as possible or risk building a mountain to climb.

  18. Open contest in Swanseapublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Swansea 1-0 Norwich

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Norwich City claimed their first league victory of the new season just before the international break after keeping a maiden clean sheet of the campaign at Coventry City.

    Their hopes of repeating the trick disappeared rapidly at Swansea as Eom Ji-Sung's pull-back was turned into his own net by Amankwah Forson.

    But this looks like the sort of game where there could be plenty more opportunities - at both ends.

    Swansea look menacing when they work the ball forward and so too do the Canaries.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 QPR

    The home side have brought forward Olaf Kobacki in for his first league start for the club as they look to end their run of three successive league losses.

    He looks to mark it with a goal but Rangers goalkeeper Paul Nardi keeps it out.

  20. Postpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 14 September 2024

    Plymouth 0-0 Sunderland

    Black Cats dominating proceedings in the early stages, they look full of confidence after making their best start to a season in 99 years.

    They have never won five league games in a row. Is today the day? Wayne Rooney's side are chasing shadows in the opening quarter of an hour.
