Latest PostThank you and good night
#bbcefl
And that brings an end to another eventful midweek in the EFL.
One thing I think we can all use a bit more in our lives is Daryl Dike.
We'll leave you with his animated face as his two goals kept Barnsley's incredible Championship campaign rolling.
Until Saturday - thanks for being with us and make sure you catch up on all tonight's Championship reports.
We'll be back on Saturday
And if there is such a thing as a breather this season, we'll be taking one between now and Saturday with our EFL coverage here across BBC Sport.
There's 11 Championship fixtures plus a full programme in Leagues One and Two to come at the weekend, starting at lunchtime on Saturday with promotion chasers Brentford hosting Forest and culminating in the small matter of a south Wales derby between Swansea City and Cardiff City at tea time.
Plenty to look forward to.
Canaries march on, Tykes keep on rolling
And at the top end.....
Norwich win again to go 10 points clear at the top once more.
But, the big move of the evening comes further down among the play-off pack.
Barnsley's win at Wycombe sees them go above Reading up to fifth place.
Just out of the picture in seventh are Bournemouth, two points further behind.
Bowyer bounce for Birmingham
A look at the bottom six first up....
Birmingham City's win against Reading sees them move three points further away from the bottom three.
It's a six-point cushion now for both them and Coventry City over Rotherham, who do have games in hand as well.
Sheffield Wednesday may well have dropped two points this evening that could prove crucial come the end of the campaign.
Wycombe continue to run out of games to make a great escape.
Post update
Well, well. That's all the full-time whistles sounded across the Championship.
We'll show you what tonight's results have done at both ends of the table in a few moments....
FULL-TIME
Sheff Wed 1-1 Huddersfield
Josh Windass' first-half opener was cancelled out when Callum Paterson bundled the ball into his own net, gifting the Terriers a point.

Birmingham City 2-1 Reading
Big appeals from Reading for a penalty as Liam Moore and Jonathan Leko comere for the ball in the box.
Leko brave to put his head in while Moore goes to ground. Nothing given.

Great save from Birmingham keeper Neil Etheridge from a well-struck half-volley by Michael Olise.

Could be a couple of crucial stops.

GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-1 Huddersfield
Callum Paterson OG (72 mins)
What a disaster for the hosts, as Isaac Mbenza's free-kick was flicked into the danger zone by Naby Sarr.
Keiren Westwood produced a brilliant block to deny Sarr's effort but the rebound ricochets off Callum Paterson for an own goal from close range.
