    All going well for the sides at the top of League One. Leaders Bristol City are 2-0 up at Doncaster, while Swindon lead by the same scoreline at home to those FA Cup giantkillers Bradford.

    Preston are 1-0 ahead against Walsall, while Sheffield United are a goal up at Rochdale.

    The other game in the third tier between Scunthorpe and Barnsley is goalless.

    It's been a busy old evening in the Football League so far.

    As things stand, of the sides to begin the night in the top 10, only Norwich City are behind, with everyone else leading at the break.

    That means Derby County and Middlesbrough will occupy the top two places if the scores stay as they are, and Brentford will leapfrog the Canaries into the play-off positions.

    The question is - will the scores stay as they are? You tell us, using #bbcfootball on Twitter.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:44 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    The hosts are in front at half-time. Albert Adomah's goal separates the sides at the interval but let's not forget the build-up play - the Bolton back line looked shocked that Lee Tomlin was cheeky enough to attempt the pass that sent Adomah clean through.

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at Molineux: "It already looks game over. Lively Fulham appeared to have battled back well from conceding an early goal to Danny Batth, but two goals in seven minutes just before the break by Bakary Sako has changed the whole complexion of the evening. The first of them was a belter - a crisp, low left-footed strike. When Sako found the same bottom corner from a narrow angle, this time goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli was at fault, beaten for pace at his near post."

    Charlton Athletic fans won't like me for saying it, but as things stand Derby County look like their coasting to victory at the iPro Stadium.

    Jeff Hendrick and Jesse Lingard have the goals and the Rams are in cruise control.

    Ipswich Town lead but their job tonight certainly isn't done yet. Lacking just a little cutting edge in the final third, Birmingham look more than capable of getting back into this one.

    The pace of Clayton Donaldson and Wes Thomas has led to some nervous moments for the hosts, but Tyrone Mings' header separates these sides at the break and, on the whole, Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy will feel it is a deserved half-time lead.

    It's the visitors' chance to apply the pressure as Janko unleashes a fierce shot from a tight angle, which Dimi Konstantopoulos just about gets the better of.

    But then at the other end, Bolton fall asleep at the back and Patrick Bamford somehow misses from a couple of yards out after a frantic goalmouth scramble.

    And it's Bakary Sako again with a brilliant finish! He's got a foot like a traction engine! The Molineux man puts them 3-0 up right on half time after finishing from an acute angle through Marcus Bettinelli's legs.

    Jeff Hendrick is on fire tonight. Derby, who'd stepped off it slightly after going 2-0 up, come so close to scoring again in first-half stoppage time, only for Hendrick's shot from the edge of the area to rattle back off the crossbar.

  11. RED CARDpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    It goes from bad to worse for bottom club Blackpool as defender Charles Dunne is shown a straight red card for a tackle on Jota. They trail 2-0 at Brentford.

    Stuie Neale:, external Well I said Swindon needed a win. Our Aussie star doing good!

    Two goals from Australia international Massimo Luongo have put Swindon 2-0 up at home to Bradford.

    The Latics have the ball in the Cardiff City net - but James McClean is ruled offside and the goal won't stand. It was a smart finish from the Republic of Ireland international too.

    Reading midfielder Oliver Norwood almost nets the goal of the season, but his stunning effort from the halfway line is just about tipped away by Alex Smithies. That would have been Beckham-esque!

  15. GOALpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2015

    Wonderful from Wolves. A move of more than 20 passes ends with a one-two with Dominic Iorfa and Bakary Sako, who double Wolves' lead with a sublime finish from 20 yards.

    An excellent save from Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant - his first of the evening - prevents Chris Solly's near-post strike from getting Charlton back into the match.

    BBC Sport's Matt Newsum at Riverside Stadium: "Middlesbrough go ahead. The first signs they were gaining a foothold on the game was the Patrick Bamford chance well saved by Ben Amos. However, Amos had no chance when Lee Tomlin slipped a delicious pass to Albert Adomah, who finished coolly. It's harsh on Bolton, who have defended brilliantly, with ex-Boro man David Wheater playing superbly."

    After all that Watford pressure, a couple of Rotherham chances to tell you about. First Matt Derbyshire's shot is well blocked behind for a corner, and then Kari Arnason, at fault for the Hornets' goal, forces Heurelho Gomes into a smart save from the resulting set-piece.

    BBC Sport's Ged Scott at Molineux: "Wolves continued where they left off here in Saturday's 5-0 rout of Rotherham by taking the lead after just 10 minutes at Molineux, when Danny Batth met Bakary Sako's near-post corner. But they have not had it all their own way since. Fulham's fancy footwork has helped them weave their way into the penalty box on more than one occasion - and Ross McCormack should have equalised."

    Bristol City and Swindon Town have both extended their leads to 2-0, Greg Cunningham netting a penalty for City at Doncaster and Massimo Luongo getting his second of the night for Town against Bradford.
