    I swear those 15 minutes of half-time pass faster and faster each week.

    Anyway, games are getting back under way across the EFL.

    The first half simmered nicely enough but I can smell plenty more goals over the next 45 minutes...

    Reading 1-0 Derby

    Whatever notes and thoughts Wayne Rooney might have had about the first half just changed in an instant with that goal from Reading's Michael Olise.

    Derby down by a goal, and the Royals promotion bid gets a helpful jolt.

    They almost made it a third on the stroke of half-time, but Admiral Muskwe's goalbound shot was deflected behind.

    Wow. What a rocket.

    Reading take the lead and it's from the left boot of Michael Olise, scudding it into the top left corner with David Marshall stood motionless.

    No one was stopping that.
