As you might expect of the team who enjoy the most possession and complete the most passes in the division, Birmingham are popping it around nicely, but the closest they have come is Willum Willumsson firing into the side-netting from an angle when he might have been better trying to find Jay Stansfield in the middle.

The Newport players are up in arms as they believe that Kyle Hudlin was tugged to the ground inside the box but the referee waves play on.

James Husband has gone down for Blackpool now - caught late by Aaron Collins but nothing doing from the referee other than a free-kick. Collins can count himself lucky.

Husband is giving the value of his thoughts to the Bolton boss Ian Evatt who no doubt as a gritty central defender during his time would have brushed that one off.

Grimsby have taken time to settle into this one but they finally get forward and Callum Ainley is denied by the Colchester goalkeeper Matt Macey.

Ouch - Blackpool's Oliver Norburn catches Josh Sheehan with a hefty challenge but referee Edward Duckworth is happy to just give a free-kick.

Bolton send the ball forward and Blackpool goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell misjudges the bounce as he comes out to head the ball away but there are covering defenders to tidy up.

Not much in the way of action in a wet and wild Shropshire, the hosts win the ball back in the Blues half through Leo Castledine who frees Tom Bloxham, but his cross into the City area is claimed by Ryan Allsop.

Good work from Notts County as David McGoldrick fires in a low cross towards returning top scorer Alassana Jatta but Matt Baker is there to clear for Newport.

An issue for Blackpool's Hayden Coulson.

Looks like he's winded himself as he lands awkwardly from an aerial challenge.

Bolton sportingly put the ball out and Coulson gets some time to recover - he's good to go.

Harvey White has the opportunity to float a free-kick into the Os box with the dangerous Carl Piergianni up from the back, only for White to overhit his delivery, with a bit of help from Storm Bert taking the ball over the touchline without a touch.

Blackpool are almost playing with a three at the back early on.

Jordan Gabriel is pushing really high up the pitch and with Hayden Coulson on the other side, we could have some joy in the wide areas.

There was an early flurry from Blackpool but it's been a pretty quiet start at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

It's wet and windy but Blackpool's tangerine shirts are brightening things up.

Newport go down the left with Michael Spellman who puts in a ball towards the far post in hope to find Oliver Greaves.

But he's unable to reach him with his delivery.

Colchester press again and Grimsby goalkeeper Jordan Wright does well to deny Harry Anderson as he gets on the end of a Lyle Taylor cross.

The Essex side have started strongly.

It is possible Bolton could get themselves into the top six today but they'd need to do to Blackpool what Stockport did to them and win by an avalanche of goals.

Still, you never know...

Some nice approach play by Stevenage as Dan Kemp threads Jamie Reid through into the Orient box, only for a fine recovery tackle from Lewis Warrington to nip the ball away as Reid crashes to the turf.

Notts County's Nick Tsaroulla has an effort on goal but sees it deflect off a defender to go over.

It's a bright start from the hosts who produce the first chance of the game

It's a lively start from Colchester as they follow-up seeing Owura Edwards cautioned by sending a dangerous ball into the Grimsby box by Samson Tovide which Grimsby manage to clear before Harry Anderson can apply the finishing touch.

Colchester's Owura Edwards will need to watch his step for the next 89 minutes as he picks up a yellow card for a high foot on Curtis Thompson.

After a long old wait for the pesky international break, we are back under way...
