#bbcefl
And that's just about where we leave you folks, on a chilly day up and down the nation.
There's been action and late goals galore across the Championship, League One and League Two, but that's a wrap on today's fixtures.
We'll be back tomorrow as Sheffield United take on Bristol City in Sunday's early kick-off.
For now though, thank you for joining us.
Meanwhile at the bottom
#bbcefl
And this is what the bottom of the Championship looks like tonight.
Administration-hit Derby aren't in action until Monday but remain bottom of the pile while Reading pull away from the bottom three courtesy of their win at Swansea.
Peterborough's goalless draw with Barnsley means both sides have their work cut out to avoid relegation come the end of the season.
Wins for Cardiff and Hull give them some further distance from the drop zone, too.
How it looks at the top
#bbcefl
This is the top of the Championship table this evening after Saturday's fixtures came to an end.
The big movers are Blackburn, who storm into the top six at the expense of Stoke, who they defeated 1-0.
Both Fulham and Bournemouth failed to win however and, combined with West Brom's draw against Nottingham Forest last night, all of the top three have drawn this weekend.
League Two full-time headlines
League One full-time headlines
Championship full-time headlines
FULL-TIME
Peterborough 0-0 Barnsley
Not great.
Peterborough now four points off safety and Barnsley eight.
The most drama we had in this one was when the floodlights went out for a bit.
Very long way to go this season but these pair are going to have to improve if they're to stay in this league.
Post update
Peterborough 0-0 Barnsley
Into the final few minutes.
A draw doesn't do much at all for these struggling pair.
Post update
Peterborough 0-0 Barnsley
Cauley Woodrow goes close to a goal for the visitors.
Just over five minutes to go in this one.
Post update
Peterborough 0-0 Barnsley
*Insert joke abut someone putting 50p in the meter*
We're back under way at London Road after the game was delayed when the floodlights failed.
About nine minutes to go in this battle between the strugglers.
FULL-TIME
Stoke 0-1 Blackburn
Reda Khadra's goal gives Blackburn victory against Stoke and sends Tony Mowbray's side to the heady heights of fourth in the Championship table.
Stoke drop to seventh.
FULL-TIME
Hull City 2-1 Millwall
Hull City make it four wins from four to put some more distance between themselves and the relegation zone.
FULL-TIME
Luton 1-2 Cardiff
Cardiff pick up a massive three points after seeing out their win against Luton.
The Hatters stumble to another defeat, meanwhile.
FULL-TIME
Swansea 2-3 Reading
A memorable game in South Wales finishes with Reading taking home a valuable three points.
Reading twice scored within a minute of the Swans, with Andy Carroll and Danny Drinkwater both scoring their first goals for the Royals.
FULL-TIME
Bournemouth 2-2 Coventry
Incredible.
Todd Kane's incredibly late leveller gives Coventry a share of the points against 10-man Bournemouth and stops them from going top of the table.
The Cherries were 2-0 up when Jefferson Lerma saw red.
Post update
Bournemouth 2-2 Coventry
Michael Redford
BBC England Squad Goals
We said Bournemouth would be nervy. They had 10 minutes to hold out with 10 men and they haven't done it.
That's huge for Coventry. They have proved they deserve to be a top-six side.
FULL-TIME
Huddersfield 1-2 Middlesbrough
Duncan Watmore scores two and Chris Wilder has his first win as Middlesbrough gaffer.
FULL-TIME
Birmingham 1-0 Blackpool
Despite Blackpool's fine performance, Birmingham seal a late winner.
Lukas Jutkiewicz's strike gives the hosts three points.
GOAL: Huddersfield 1-2 Middlesbrough
Luke Daniels own goal (90+3 mins)
Huddersfield get a consolation goal with the final act of the game.
Luke Daniels scores an own goal but it won't matter.
GOAL: Bournemouth 2-2 Coventry
Todd Kane (90+5 mins)
OH MY.
This looked ALL OVER at 2-0 to Bournemouth but Jefferson Lerma saw red for the hosts and the Sky Blues have refused to give up.
Todd Kane grabs a late, late, late leveller.
