Tom Eaves was introduced by Jon Brady at the break for Northampton but the substitutes' night is over after just 15 minutes as a blow to the face means he can't continue.

Will Hondermarck is his replacement.

Bolton's George Johnston goes into the naughty book for a foul on Jordan Roberts.

Stevenage are giving it a good go to try and get themselves on the scoresheet but their hard efforts aren't paying off just yet.

Charlie Savage is withdrawn by Reading and Ben Elliott jogs on to take his place.

And Chem Campbell the goalscorer also heads off the field and it's Mamadi Camara who replaces him - that's a straight swap.

We all said we'd take a point before the game.

Reading will definitely take that now.

All quiet on the Sincil Bank front - who will get their noses in front in the second-half?

Northampton are unbeaten in three games in the EFL and four in all competitions so they'll be the more content at this stage.

A long stoppage as Lewis Fiorini comes off worse in a challenge with Reading's Charlie Savage.

The visiting midfielder seemed to head the back of Fiorini's head and he has to go through the concussion protocols but is cleared to continue.

Luke Southwood had done well so far and he's keeping a clean sheet so far.

Karl Robinson made some changes at the break.

Cole Stockton and Tom Edwards clock out to be replaced by Luke Garbutt and Josh Austerfield.

Louie Barry has one tonight, he has eight for the season - he almost has nine but he can't direct his header on target.

Stockport still in control.

Stockport's Ibou Touray is the first man cautioned in this game.

He pulls back Chem Campbell and it's an easy decision for referee Thomas Parsons.

Now it's Boro's turn to deal some payback as they get themselves a corner.

Dan Butler's cross finds the head of Carl Piergianni but Bolton keeper Luke Southwood denies them.

Forward Tom Eaves is introduced for Northampton in place of Ben Fox.

It looks a long way back for Reading on the evidence of the first-half.

Louie Barry's goal for Stockport now makes him League One's leading scorer with eight goals so far this season from 12 starts.

The on-loan Aston Villa forward got nine in 18 starts in helping Stockport win the League Two title last season.

Off we go into the second-half - still so much to play for...

A change for Reading right at the start of the second-half as they look to rescue this.

On comes Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan for Adrian Akande.

Reading are just conceding too many goals.

The first Stockport goal - he's just ran straight through.

It's just ridiculously too easy.

What a way to kick-off Fleetwood and Salford's first game together - a goal each in a lively first-half! More please.

The Cods came out with their feet on the gas and quickly got the ball moving in their direction as they registered their opening two attempts on goal in the first two minutes.

But it was Salford who dealt the damage first after David Harrington switched off and Ben Woodburn punished with an impressive lob from distance.

Though, the lead wasn't to last as Fleetwood levelled with a simple tap into the net from Ronan Coughlan.

The Cods will be missing their captain when they come back out the tunnel though, as Brendan Wiredu picked up a knock and needed to replaced with Mark Helm in injury time.

Will the missing skipper be a difference maker?

Good half of football that and Stockport well worth their lead despite Reading's excellent equaliser.

Will Collar's deflected effort got the home side ahead but a lovely passing move ended with Chem Campbell levelling for Reading.

Kyle Wootton headed the home side back in front within three minutes of the equaliser and it got worse for Reading two minutes before the break as Louie Barry converted a penalty won by Jack Diamond.

Barry has forced Pereira into a very good save as well.

Stockport boss Dave Challinor made six changes from the weekend defeat - his players have got the message!

That's probably about right after a keenly contested first-half but Lincoln reacted well to going behind inside three minutes with Tariqe Fosu converting Tyler Roberts' cross.

Tom Hamer headed home the equaliser for Lincoln who then saw Lee Burge brilliantly deny Sean Roughan and Brad House have an effort cleared off the line.

The one negative for Lincoln is goalscorer Hamer being forced off with an injury.
