    Mark your team's transfer window out of 10

    As we pause for breath in our three Championship matches, we thought it'd be a good time to take a look at some of the biggest EFL deals to emerge from transfer deadline day - and there were a few decent ones!

    While we do just that, don't forget we're also asking you to mark your own team's transfer window out of 10 via #bbcefl on Twitter this evening.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Newcastle 1-1 QPR

    The first half started and end with a bang - Jonjo Shelvey putting Newcastle up after just 37 seconds and Conor Washington leveling for QPR in the 44th minute.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Burton 0-0 Fulham

    And there have been even fewer sights of goal in the game between Burton and Fulham, between whom it is also 0-0 at the break.

    Blackburn 0-0 Leeds

    Not bucket loads of clear-cut chances at Ewood Park, but Leeds have had by far the better of the play and looked the more likely to score.

    Alas, neither side has been able to, and it's goalless at half-time.

    GOAL: Newcastle 1-1 QPRpublished at 20:30 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Conor Washington

    Well, that is only just!

    Conor Washington, superb for the entirety of this opening half, pokes QPR level.

    But it was so much more than that, his first touch is magic, bringing the ball down after Jake Bidwell's shot, following a corner, was blocked.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    We have a booking and it is former Newcastle defender James Perch who goes into the book for his challenge on Ayoze Perez.

    QPR still creating half chances, with Conor Washington putting a delightful ball through to Pawel Wszolek. However, Paul Dummett is there and not for the first time this half, clears the danger.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    QPR needed to scramble in defence for the first time since the opening minute.

    The visitors were back in numbers from a throw-in, but there was a moment - just a brief moment - of panic as the ball broke kindly for Matt Ritchie on the edge of the area. More than enough is done to shut down the shot, but it was a timely reminder of Newcastle's firepower.

    We have seven minutes remaining of the first half.

    Burton 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham are having a decent chunk of the play against Burton, with Scott Malone fizzing a shot just wide of the left-hand post a few moments ago.

    Burton's best chance came after quarter of an hour when Lloyd Dyer raced through on goal, but was denied by the legs of David Button.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Newcastle might be a heavily changed side for tonight's league game, but the frailties that were exposed so brutally by Oxford in the FA Cup at the weekend seem all too apparent.

    There are a lot of stray passes and hesitation on the ball from the hosts, while QPR are robust in every tackle and are after every ball.

    Blackburn 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds are still having much the better of the match at Ewood Park, with Chris Wood firing narrowly wide, Hadi Sacko being pipped to a long ball by Blackburn keeper Jason Steele and then Eunan O'Kane claiming a penalty for a foul, only for the referee to wave it away.

    Rovers are clinging on.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Conor Washington is being an absolute terror for the visitors.

    He manages to come up with the ball in the box, dispossessing Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles.

    A corner is eventually forced after Ryan Manning tries to create something for QPR. However, it comes to nothing. But it is ominous stuff by Ian Holloway's men.

    With running repairs done, a few stitches and a clump of jell above his eyebrow, Ciaran Clark rejoins the action for Newcastle.

    He gets applauded by the home fans.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Brilliant block by Paul Dummett on the edge of Newcastle's area. With a flying boot, the defender gets his foot to a thunderous shot from Massimo Luongo. 

    QPR on top right now as they look to restore parity.

    Newcaslte 1-0 QPR

    After a delay of a few minutes, play is back under way.

    No substitution is made as Ciaran Clark gets treatment off the field. So we wait.

  15. ouch!

    Postpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    A heavy collision between Newcastle's Ciaran Clark and QPR's Jamie Mackie looks nasty.

    Both are receiving treatment on head injuries. Clark seems to have come off worse as he is bleeding heavily. However, the defender is on his feet, towel to the temple and heads for the sidelines.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Massimo Luonga with a header straight at Karl Darlow, and the Newcastle goalkeeper makes a strong save. And it needed to be, as the rebound bounces away as an attacker was closing in.

    Conor Washington the one to create the chance, moving out wide on the left and creating space for the cross.

    QPR knocking hard on the door for a equaliser.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    What a wasted chance for QPR on 12 minutes.

    On the counter attack Conor Washington manages to get the ball under control in the box. The ball makes its way to Pawel Wszolek, but he hesitates, it seems an age, and Matt Ritchie helps clear the danger for Newcastle.

    Blackburn 0-0 Leeds, Burton 0-0 Fulham

    Since that early disallowed goal, it's been all Leeds, Leeds, Leeds in Lancashire.

    Liam Bridcutt has just fired a half-volley wide of the post, while Chris Wood almost finds himself through on goal - but for a late offside flag.

    In the match between Burton and Fulham, meanwhile, there really isn't too much to write home about. Goalless.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Jonjo Shelvey doesn't need to do much to get things going for Newcastle.

    With a quick change of pace down the middle he moves the ball to the right. The cross comes in from Matt Ritchie, but there was a tad too much on it and it bounces harmlessly out.

    Newcastle 1-0 QPR

    Well, I'll say the obvious right now. The tempo of this one has settled.

    To be fair, anything is a slower tempo than that rip roaring start by hosts Newcastle.

    The Magpies with some defending to do as QPR have the first corner. Not long after that, Massimo Luongo makes the most of some space afforded to him and shoots just wide for the visitors.
