    When you see a new manager come in you'll always see a reaction as players want to impress. If Chris Wilder can keep the momentum going into January then it will give the board some confidence to bring in the players that he wants.

    Just the three goals in the Championship in the opening 30 minutes.

    Conditions aren't helping in a few of the games.

    Barnsley 0-0 Huddersfield

    Barnsley on top in this but nothing to show for it so far.

    The lowly Tykes desperately need a result today.

    Lovely goal.

    Sol Bamba launches one over the top, Isaiah Jones collects the ball, races into the box and slots it in.

    Cracking finish from the Boro man.

    Bristol City should be 2-0 in front.

    Callum O'Dowda beats the offside trap, squares the ball to Chris Martin, but the striker drags his shot wide.

    Reading 0-0 Hull

    John Swift is in for the home side but Hull City goalkeeper Nathan Baxter does well to deny him.

    Bristol City 1-0 Derby

    Every time Derby go behind it puts them a step closer to relegation.

    What have they got in reply?

  14. Postpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2021

    Blackburn 0-0 Preston

    Very tricky conditions at Ewood Park with all the rain we've had across much of the north of England and Scotland.

    Hopefully it lets up a bit or this game could be in jeopardy.

    Excellent finish.

    Derby defenders get a couple of blocks in before the ball falls to Alex Scott who fires in from the edge of the box.

    It's the first chance of any note at Ashton Gate and it's produced a goal!

    It's a bit of a two-man fight this.

    Billy Sharp is played in on goal for the visitors and again Bluebirds goalkeeper Alex Smithies denies him.

    Millwall have got a reputation of being a really tough club and have got close to the play-offs a couple of times, but I'm not quite sure they're a Premier League side.
