    Barnsley 2-2 Birmingham

    Lukas Jutkiewicz scores!

    The half-time substitute blasts home the penalty and what a turnaround for the hosts after being 2-0 down.

     A double change for Barnsley now to deal with the loss of a defender, as Josh Scowen and Adam Jackson on as Ryan Kent and Tom Bradshaw come off.  

  2. PENALTY (Birmingham) & RED CARDpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Barnsley 2-1 Birmingham

    Birmingham have the chance to get back into the match from the penalty spot.

    Marc Roberts is adjudged to have fouled Birmingham forward Che Adams in the box and he was seen as the last man by the referee and sent back to the dressing room.

    Lukas Jutkiewicz steps up...

  3. Rare goal in League Onepublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Bradford City are back on level terms with Bury, scoring only their third goal in seven games and it's come from Nicky Law.

    They will stay fifth in the League One table if the scoreline stays the same, while Bury sit just one place above the drop zone.

    Wolves 0-1 QPR

    QPRImage source, Rex Features

    Incredible! QPR had created absolutely nothing for 53 minutes, but they have now.

    Forward Idrissa Sylla latches onto a long ball from the right and smashes home from close range.

    Is QPR's run of six straight league defeats finally about to come to an end? They've got 35 minutes to hold on.

  5. League Two Latestpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    More goals in League One too please. 

    But League Two is ticking along nicely. Exeter have doubled their lead against Newport County, Ollie Watkins has got his second of the afternoon.

    And another early second-half goal for Stevenage who make it 2-2 against Colchester United courtesy of Matt Godden.

    Plymouth, meanwhile, are still locked in a 0-0 draw with Crawley Town. After Doncaster's earlier draw, they'll want to take advantage to move top of the table...

    Barnsley 2-1 Birmingham

    New Birmingham City manager Gianfranco Zola makes a double change for Blues at half-time as Lukas Jutkiewicz and David Cotterill replace Greg Stewart and Maikel Kieftenbeld.

    Jutkiewicz will give them a target to aim for up front to try to get back into the game.

    Wolves 0-0 QPR

    Helder Costa continues to look lively for Wolves. 

    The Portuguese winger cuts inside and fires straight at Alex Smithies. Moments later Dave Edwards nods wide for the hosts.

    Still no way through for Paul Lambert's men.

    Derby 0-0 Wigan

    Wigan come close at the start of the second half, but Jordi Gomez's effort is just over the bar from 20 yards out.

    Still goalless though...

    Preston 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Something has happened at Deepdale!!!

    David Jones has come on for Atdhe Nuhiu for Sheffield Wednesday at half-time.

    Back as you were.

  10. Back under waypublished at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Second halves are starting. Can we have some more goals in the Championship please as a last hurrah for 2016? Just three so far, and they've all come in the same game at Oakwell!

  11. Postpublished at 16:02 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    HT: Preston 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    During half-time a Preston North End fan proposed to his girlfriend on the pitch, to which she's said yes!

    Chants of "You don't know what your doing" ring around Deepdale...

    Still, congratulations from us at BBC Sport.

    It's now 2-2 between Notts County and Carlisle United, Jabo Ibehre scoring on the half-time whistle for Carlisle to level proceedings after Notts County lead through Jonathan Forte.

    At the bottom of the table, Accrington, who have not won in nine league games,also scored on the half-time hooter to take a much needed lead against Crewe Alexandra.

    And rock bottom Newport County, who've suffered five-straight league defeats, are behind again against Exeter City.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Preston 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Nothing to see here. Move on!

    The only effort of any note - a long-range strike from Preston's Callum Robinson which was easily saved by Keiren Westwood.

    Seth Bennett reporting from Deepdale for Final Score has described it as an "absolute stinker". That gives you an idea of just how bad it's been.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Barnsley 2-1 Birmingham

    The only Championship match with any goals has gone to half-time, with Barnsley ahead thanks to goals from Tom Bradshaw and Sam Winnall, but Jacques Maghoma has given Birmingham hope in this match.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Wolves 0-0 QPR

    The half-time whistle goes at Molineux where Wolves have been on top but can find that clinical edge.

    Teenage striker Bright Enobakhare had the only effort on goal for the hosts - but his strike was saved by the legs of Alex Smithies.

    QPR defended resolutely but created absolutely zilch. As Faye Carruthers reports on Final Score - the R's have been "awful" going forward.

    Just three goals so far in all of the 3pm kick-offs in League One.

    Bolton go into half-time with a narrow 1-0 lead over rivals Scunthorpe, and could end the year second in the table.

    Coventry City have given themselves a lifeline. They're still in the relegation zone but they've got a 1-0 half-time lead away at Peterborough.

    And high-flying Bradford City are behind at Bury, who are desperate for a win to move clear of the bottom four.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Derby 0-0 Wigan

    It's half time at the iPro and Wigan could well feel they could be ahead but it's still goalless after a fairly drab half of football.

  19. Goal rush in League Twopublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Notts County, having been 1-0 down, have turned it around against Carlisle. Jonathan Forte following on from Jon Stead to hand them a 2-1 lead just before the break.

    Barnet have equalised against Luton Town, Bira Dembélé tapping in from close-range. Barnet have now scored in all 12 of their away games this season.

    And Stevenage have pulled one back at home to Colchester United.

  20. Postpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Barnsley 2-1 Birmingham

    We've just had a break in play at Oakwell as Barnsley midfielder Sam Morsy appears to have blood pouring from his face. It looks like he'll be able to carry on but he's still off the field receiving treatment.
