Millwall 1-0 Birmingham City

Aiden O'Brien is back on, but Conor McLaughlin is now down, having felt the full force of team-mate Shaun Hutchinson's forehead on the back of his own.

Derby County kept up their pursuit of the top six with a 2-0 win at home to 10-man Sheffield Wednesday.

But Rams boss Gary Rowett was far from satisfied that his side missed plenty of chances to kill the game off before Bradley Johnson wrapped up all three points.

"We made a fast start, but I found myself focusing on the negatives with my players at half-time and at full-time," he told BBC Radio Derby.

"We weren't good enough, we didn't move the ball with enough quality from side-to-side to open up a side as good as Sheffield Wednesday.

"They created too many chances for my liking and we didn't possess the quality in the final third."

Millwall 1-0 Birmingham City

Aiden O'Brien hobbles off the pitch having taken a knock on the thigh while sliding in against Michael Morrison.

We'll see if he's fit enough to continue.

Birmingham break forward, but Che Adams' side-footed strike from the edge of the box is easily gathered by Jordan Archer.

Reading failed to build on their away win at Leeds last weekend as third-placed Sheffield United sent them to a sixth defeat of the season at Bramall Lane.

Roy Beerens' late consolation in a 2-1 defeat did little to hide Jaap Stam's frustrations at full-time.

"In the second half we were very poor, we didn't do what we wanted to do," he told BBC Radio Berkshire.

"The accuracy in our passing was not good enough and we gave balls away. You need to change things, and we need to do better.

"You always talk about the basic things and what you need to do and bring to the game."

Birmingham look to respond, with Jacques Maghoma beating a few challenges before Maxime Colin's deep cross is inadvertently touched back to Millwall keeper Jordan Archer.

Birmingham City skipper Michael Morrison goes into the referee's notebook for a mistimed slide-tackle on Aiden O'Brien.

We'll try again shall we?

There's certainly plenty to play for, with Millwall looking to bounce back from consecutive losses and Birmingham buoyed by a new manager.

Millwall kick us off.

Bolton were denied a second win in as many matches as Darren Pratley's goal was cancelled out by Idrissa Sylla's equaliser for QPR in a 1-1 draw.

The wind and rain from Storm Brian caused both sides problems at the Macron Stadium as the Trotters missed the chance to narrow their deficit at the foot of the Championship.

"In the second half we found it difficult to get any quality to take us up the pitch," boss Phil Parkinson told BBC Radio Manchester.

"A scruffy goal has got them back into it, but from where we were before these past two games, we'll take the four points from six."

And this is the table as it stands at the bottom.

Birmingham will be outside the bottom three whatever happens at The Den, but a win would lift them up to 17th.

Here's how those results leave the top of the Championship table, with Wolves remaining two points clear at the top...

• Wolves remain top of the table after hanging on for a 3-2 win against a gutsy Preston at Molineux.
• Cardiff stay second courtesy of Joe Ralls' late penalty kick at Middlesbrough.
• Sheffield United stay third with a fourth win in five games as they beat Reading 2-1 at home.
• John Terry's first goal for Aston Villa helps them to a 2-1 home win against Fulham and into the top six.
• Sunderland let a 3-1 lead slip and draw 3-3 at Brentford to remain in the relegation zone.

Isaac Vassell's late chance has been just about it. Lee Gregory and Steve Morison had a few sights of goal, but Millwall have nothing to show for their dominance.

The stats tell me there's been 11 shots, but just one on target. Let us hope the second half is better.

Best chance of the half by some distance for Birmingham City.

The ball breaks, allowing Che Adams to slide in Isaac Vassell. A dummy leaves Jake Cooper on the floor, but from an angle he fires across goal and wide of Jordan Archer's post.

The ball breaks to Steve Morison, who wellies a good old fashioned volley well off target into the stands.

Half-time is nearing.

Shaky defending from Millwall, almost allowing Birmingham a chance from a Jonathan Grounds long throw.

Jake Cooper gets it stuck underneath his boot, but they eventually clear after Jacques Maghoma's cross.

Maxime Colin becomes the first man to go in the book, pulling down his man near the corner flag.

Jed Wallace sends in a free-kick, but it's easily dealt with by Birmingham.
