    GOAL: Huddersfield 2-2 Blackburnpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    Ben Brereton Diaz pen (65 mins)

    Blackburn level after a penalty is awarded for a 50-50 tackle on Ben Brereton Diaz in the box.

    Huddersfield incensed.

    Anyway, Brereton Diaz picks himself up, composes himself and belts the ball into the right bottom corner.

    Credit to Lee Nicholls, he guessed the right way and got a touch but it was too strong a shot.

    All square again.

    Middlesbrough 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Two chances for Boro to extend the lead.

    First, Andraz Sporar gets into the box but his shot from the left is beaten away by Robin Olsen.

    Then a long-ranger by Marcus Tavernier is also taken low by Olsen.

    Blades can't get into a rhythm.

    MaxTigerHD: This is a must-win game and we have had 5 or more shots and less than 2 on target so I feel we will get a point from this but we could be seeing Hull fans spreading McCann out all over social media if we lose tonight!!

    30 minutes to go where Hull still trail at home to Blackpool.

    Morecambe 1-0 Lincoln City

    Cole Stockton - with his long locks, great feet and fab finishing - he’s a footballing dreamboat, the likes we haven’t seen in Lancashire since Ben Brereton-Diaz.

    He’s just picked up the ball inside his own half, back to goal, turned his man, beaten another one and carried the ball to the edge of the area on his own before eventually being crowded out.

    My wife will think I’m in love with him - maybe I am?! What a player.

    GOAL: QPR 2-0 Birmingham Citypublished at 21:07 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    Ilias Chair (64 mins)

    QPR two goals to the good now and both of them have come from Ilias Chair.

    Lyndon Dykes the provider with the through ball before Chair slots it calmly under the body of Matija Sarkic in Birmingham's goal.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 2-1 Blackburnpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    Danny Ward (60 mins)

    Parity lasts merely minutes, as Huddersfield take the lead again.

    Danny Ward is the hero of the piece, powering a header into the far corner past Thomas Kaminski, after great work from Sorba Thomas.

    Thomas is fantastic. Socks rolled down, oozing confidence and skill.

    Preston 1-1 Stoke City

    No more goals so far in the second half at Deepdale, but there's been chances.

    Greg Cunningham with an effort from distance for Preston, but it goes narrowly wide of goal.

  11. 'Horror show for Cardiff'published at 21:04 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    Cardiff 0-2 West Brom

    Michael Pearlman
    BBC Sport Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium

    Readers of this blog of a certain vintage will remember the glorious days of VHS and a Christmas compilation video of own goals, gaffes and general banter, usually presented by Danny Baker.

    Well if such a thing still existed, West Brom's second goal would be featuring heavily this Christmas.

    Three times Cardiff could have cleared, three times they only made it worse before Curtis Nelson slammed the ball in off the post.

    A horror show for Cardiff, well before Halloween.

  12. League One latestpublished at 21:03 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    As you've just seen the deadlock has been broken at the Mazuma Stadium with Cole Stockton putting Morecambe 1-0 up with Lincoln.

    Things are not getting much better for John Coleman's Accrington as Matt Taylor has put Oxford 3-0 ahead with a lovely clipped finish past James Trafford.

    And we now have goals in every match this evening in League One. Joe Jacobson has scored for Wycombe at Shrewsbury as they try to remain in the top six.

    He's done it - Nobody can stop Goal King Cole Stockton!!

    He’s picked up the ball with acres of space - blasted it from 10 yards outside the box and it’s flown into the bottom left-hand corner.

    Fabulous finish for a man on the top of his game and full of confidence.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-1 Blackburnpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 28 September 2021

    Ben Brereton Diaz (57 mins)

    It had to be him didn't it?

    Ben Brereton Diaz tucks away beautifully after Joe Rothwell had tiptoed his way at great speed past about five would-be tacklers.

    Outstanding equaliser for Blackburn and El Rey del La Roja does it again.

    Middlesbrough 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Billy Sharp tries to meet a curling cross from the left by Ben Osborn as Sheffield United pour forward.

    His glancing header loops wide as he twisted to connect and Boro can breathe a sigh of relief.

    The threat is there from the Blades.

    Danel Sinani forces a strong save from Blackburn keeper Thomas Kaminski at the near post, after the Huddersfield winger got down the left.

    Curtis Nelson OG (56 mins)

    Oh no - Cardiff will not want to see this again...

    Absolute defensive howlers left, right and centre after Conor Townsend sends a cross in from the left into the corridor of uncertainty.

    Nobody deals with it initially and then Karlan Grant nods it back across the six-yard area and after two failed clearances by Cardiff, the ball deflects in off Curtis Nelson's shin for an own goal.

    Middlesbrough 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Iliman Ndiaye earns his side a corner as his run and cross are blocked, but Joe Lumley punches the delivery away.

    Sheffield United recycle it and Morgan Gibbs-White sets off for goal but his swerving drive from the edge of the box goes well wide.

    I would fine a player for being late for training. My old Rochdale manager Keith Hill had a very good saying for this.

    He said that once training finishes, you have 24 hours to get to training the next day. So you should have time to get everything done in that time.
