  1. Second half

    We're starting to get back under way in our eight Championship matches.

  2. 'Worst 45 minutes this season'

    HT: Stoke 3-0 Bristol City

    Gary Owers
    Former Sunderland & Bristol City midfielder on BBC Radio Bristol

    That's the worst first 45 minutes I've seen so far this season.

    We have to improve second half, I think the biggest surprise has been the formation we're playing and we've been punished for it.

    Stoke have been causing us all kinds of trouble. They've moved the ball better, they've out run us and they've been more clinical.

  3. HALF-TIME

    Oxford 1-1 Millwall

    Cameron Brannagan's late leveller for the home side means we're all-square at the break.

    That's after Thierno Ballo had nodded Millwall into the lead.

    Jake Cooper and Tristan Crama have headed wide for the visitors while Stan Mills and Brian De Keersmacker have forced saves out of Lions' goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

    Millwall have suffered a blow with the loss of joint-top scorer Femi Azeez to injury.

    Camiel Neghli is on in his place.

  4. 'Watford solid defensively'

    HT: Watford 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    When you look at the first 20 minutes I think Rob Edwards would have been happy with what he had seen, and suddenly Watford take the lead with their first shot on target.

    We've had a lot of the ball and tried to create opportunities, but I think Watford have been solid defensively.

    We just haven't opened them up enough to have any clear-cut chances.

  5. HALF-TIME

    Southampton 0-1 Preston

    Lewis Dobbin's goal separates the sides in a pretty awful match if we're honest.

    Dobbin miscontrolled the ball but managed to get a shot away which was only blocked back to him and he finished at the second time of asking.

    Southampton have had 62% possession and just two shots - they're not helping themselves.

  6. HALF-TIME

    QPR 1-1 Ipswich

    George Hirst headed Ipswich into a second-minute lead as they look for their first away win of the season in the league.

    Rumarn Burrell levelled for the home side.

    Nice and even.

  7. HALF-TIME

    Stoke 3-0 Bristol City

    Stoke take a breath-taking 3-0 lead within the opening 25 minutes to stun Bristol City before the break.

    Robins keeper Radek Vitek made a dreadful error at the back, failing to keep the ball from an overhit shot to see it rolling into the path of a Divin Mubama in fine form this afternoon.

    The Manchester City loanee has earned himself a double as well as an assist for the third from Million Manhoef.

    The best defensive side in the league looking absolutely deadly on attack too. What a job Mark Robins is doing over there.

  8. HALF-TIME

    Charlton 0-0 Swansea

    Charlton have a superb record at The Valley in the past year but no breakthrough in this one as yet.

  9. Oxford 1-1 Millwall

    Four minutes added on here.

  10. HALF-TIME

    Watford 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Promotion-chasing Middlesbrough have won twice at Vicarage Road this century. They'll need to do something unlikely to make it three today now.

    The home side are two to the good thanks to goals from Imran Louza and Luca Kjerrumgaard.

  11. HALF-TIME

    Birmingham 1-0 Portsmouth

    Normal service resumes at St Andrew's as Blues dominate.

    The unusual sight of Jay Stansfield seeing his penalty strike saved by Pompey keeper Josef Bursik was quickly forgotten after Paik Seung-ho dove into a fantastic header to find the opener.

  12. goal

    GOAL Oxford 1-1 Millwall

    Cameron Brannagan (45 mins)

    The skipper levels.

    Stan Mills is integral to this for Oxford and he finds Cameron Brannagan whose looping shot beats Max Crocombe.

  13. HALF-TIME

    Sheff Utd 0-1 Derby

    Sheffield United on course for a 10th league defeat of the season.

    Derby on course for a third straight win.

  14. Southampton 0-1 Preston

    We are into an additional five minutes.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Charlton 0-0 Swansea

    The home side forced into a change before the break.

    Kayne Ramsey is on in place of Amari'i Bell.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Oxford 0-1 Millwall

    That's a blow for Millwall.

    Camiel Neghli replaces Femi Azeez with the Millwall top scorer having picked up an injury.

    Their squad is small enough already, mind you, it's not a bad replacement.

  17. Southampton 0-1 Preston

    Dan George
    BBC Sport at St Mary's

    "Sport Republic get out of our club"

    The Southampton fans are chanting about the ownership at St Mary's as they go a goal behind.

    The Preston fans are now singing "sacked in the morning" to Will Still in the home dugout.

  18. Stoke 3-0 Bristol City

    Now Robins keeper Radek Vitek is called into action to prevent Sorba Thomas from finding a fourth for Stoke.

    The stopper makes no mistakes this time but it won't make that score line any less painful.

  19. 'More goals in this game'

    Watford 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    I still think there's more goals in this game.

    The next goal will be so important. If we can get the next goal we'll be right back in it, if Watford get it then it will be a long way back.

    As a team, Watford have defended really well, but we do look a real threat on the counter.

  20. GREAT SAVE!

    Stoke 3-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City's Anis Mehmeti sees the space and thrashes a strike towards goal but the mighty Viktor Johansson makes himself big and denies it from the bottom corner.
