  1. CLOSE!published at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd

    It's Millwall who are pushing as we head into stoppage-time.

    Japhet Tanganga peels away to the back post unmarked to meet a deep corner with an ambitious first-time volley but can only slash his volley a yard over Michael Cooper's bar. A lower shot back across goal could have gone anywhere off anyone.

    A half-decent opportunity goes begging.

    Into the FIVE added minutes.

    It's two for West Brom!

    Karlan Grant picks the ball up about 30 yards from goal and skips through the Coventry defence before firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

    Just as the Sky Blues were getting back into the game, it may have been taken out of their reach now.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Hull City 1-1 Watfordpublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Rocco Vata (88 mins)

    Oh Hull.

    This is all down to sub Kwadwo Baah who spins on halfway and blazes down the right and surges all the way to the byline before producing an inch-perfect cut-back into the middle for former Celtic man Rocco Vata to sweep a first-time effort home, via a touch from keeper Ivan Pandur.

    Maybe that win will have to wait a bit longer.

  4. 'Loudest I've heard City fans in a while'published at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Hull City 1-0 Watford

    Mike White
    BBC Radio Humberside commentator

    Can Hull City see this one out now?

    You can certainly feel it now! The fans are excited but there is definitely a nervousness amongst that excitement.

    This is the loudest I have heard City fans in a while, they have had to endure a lot of dross recently.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Hull City 1-0 Watford

    Abu Kamara comes off to a hero's reception after potentially teeing up the winner, with Abdus Omur coming on.

    The Hull fans are singing Ruben Selles name. Nice for him.

  6. CLOSE!published at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Cardiff 0-1 Preston

    Cardiff's Chris Willock flashes an effort towards the far post but it goes wide. He just couldn't quite get enough bend on it.

    Time is running out for the Bluebirds...

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:28 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd

    Millwall want a penalty after Aidomo Emakhu slalomed into the box from the left wing.

    He crashes to ground in a sandwich between Alfie Gilchrist and the sliding Tom Davies but Gilchrist might just have nicked the ball before he went down.

    The home fans are not happy, however.

  8. 'No hold up play by Albion'published at 21:28 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    West Brom 1-0 Coventry

    Tony 'Bomber' Brown
    West Brom's all-time leading goalscorer on BBC Radio WM

    Albion's problem at the moment is they have no hold up play, they have no one to hold the ball going forward.

    That is not Karlan Grant's style of play he prefers to run onto the ball.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:27 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    West Brom 1-0 Coventry

    Coventry are knocking on the door here.

    The ball is floated to the back stick and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto heads down into the ground well and it's goalbound but Alex Palmer saves well.

  10. Postpublished at 21:26 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Cardiff 0-1 Preston

    Into the last five minutes at the Cardiff City Stadium.

    Can Preston hold on for what would be a vital first win in 10 games? Or can the Bluebirds rescue something?

    It's tense in the Welsh capital.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Hull City 1-0 Watfordpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Chris Bedia (82 mins)

    The breakthrough!

    One of the worst goals you'll ever see too.

    Abu Kamara's cross from the right of the box loops off a defender and drops infront of Marvin Mehlem, he slices his close-range volley and it's heading off target until it hits nearby Chris Bedia on what looks like the arm and deflects back across goal and inside the post.

    They all count.

    That's his third of the season and the Tigers can smell a first win since 1 October.

  12. Sky Blues fans in good voicepublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Coventry City

    Ged Scott
    BBC Sport at The Hawthorns

    Their team might be losing - but it is still the 2,516 Coventry City fans in tonight's crowd of 24,859 who are making the most noise at The Hawthorns.

    It is testament to just how good the Sky Blue Army are.

    Coventry have always had great away support - especially in the days in Northampton and Birmingham not so very long ago when they played nothing but away games.

    And those City fans know they can still turn this one round.

  13. CLOSE!published at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    West Brom 1-0 Coventry

    Wow, what a chance for Coventry and what a mix up.

    It's a great ball in from the right and it looks for all the world that Jack Rudoni is about to tap it into an empty net at the back post but Victor Torp swoops in ahead of him with a header that takes it away from Rudoni and goes wide...

    Huge opportunity for the Sky Blues to equalise and it's gone begging!

    Surely Rudoni had given Torp a shout? A let off for West Brom. More frustration for Frank Lampard.

  14. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Hull City 0-0 Watford

    Hull's Abu Kamara is found in a pocket of space on the edge of the box but his rasping right footed strike flicks off a defender and flies past the target.

    The corner is cleared, though Festy Ebosele finds his way into the book seconds later for kicking the ball away.

    Kamars joins him after the restart after a lunge on Moussa Sissoko.

    Bitty!

  15. 'Just string a few passes together'published at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Hull City 0-0 Watford

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    Both teams are as bad as each other.

    If either of the teams increase their performance by 10% they could go win it - just string a few passes together.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    West Brom 1-0 Coventry

    So far, so good in this second half for West Brom who will surely be keen to take the three points, even if it is just the one goal that wins it. A reminder that it's one win in 11 for the Baggies coming into this.

    Frank Lampard has sent on former West Brom man Brandon Thomas-Asante to face his old club.

    Victor Torp is also on. Off go Josh Eccles and Ephron Mason-Clark.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Hull City 0-0 Watford

    Very bitty second half. Another break in play as Moussa Sissoko is introduced by Tom Cleverley with Edo Kayembe heading off.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd

    Neil Harris is withdrawing Duncan Watmore, with Aidomo Emakhu coming on for the hosts.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:19 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    QPR 2-0 Oxford

    Double change again for the hosts.

    Jonathan Varane and Paul Smyth make way for QPR and on come Kieran Morgan and Morgan Fox.

  20. CLOSE!published at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December

    Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd

    Harrison Burrows sees a Blades corner from the right cannon back to him, he opts to take a touch across goal and then lets fly with that wand of a left-foot, dragging his low effort past the near post under pressure from the onrushing Romain Esse.
