    Birmingham 2-0 Luton

    Close to a third for Birmingham!

    Juninho Bacuna thinks he has a second but his effort is cleared off the line!

    Luton need to get a goal of their own if they are to make the Blues a touch more nervous in the closing stages.

    Josh Maja (68 mins)

    Josh Maja makes an big impact for Stoke City after scoring in his FA Cup debut last weekend.

    He helps the ball in after Jacob Brown's corner was sent goalwards by Nick Powell.

    Maja-magic for the Potters. That's shut the home fans up.

    Middlesbrough 3-1 Derby

    Changes afoot for both sides. Goalscorer Matt Crooks is replaced by Riley McGree, who makes his Boro debut.

    Derby meanwhile swap Krystian Bielik and bring on Ravel Morrison. Didn't have the most productive time at Boro, did Ravel. What can he compose for the Rams today?

    Wow! What. A. Game!

    Reading are down to 10 men for just two minutes before Coventry make the extra man count and regain the lead.

    Viktor Gyokeres threads in Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen whose deflected effort beats Karl Jakob Hein in the Reading goal.

    Still 25 minutes to go here...

  5. RED CARD (Reading)published at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2022

    Reading 2-2 Coventry

    Reading down to 10 men...

    Junior Hoilett is already on a yellow card and mistimes a sliding challenge near the halfway lie.

    I'm afraid it gets worse, too.

    Simon Atkins: Good to see Birmingham have signed players who know how to score a goal. Lyle Taylor and Juninho Bacuna might just keep us above the pack below, well, providing our less than great defence holds.

    Huge goal at the bottom with Mike Fondop-Talom equalising for Oldham at Newport.

    Another big goal at the bottom with Omari Patrick giving Carlisle the lead at fellow strugglers Colchester.

    Harry McKirdy has bagged his 14th of the season to put Swindon 1-0 up at home to bottom side Scunthorpe.

    Elsewhere Jack Diamond has extended Harrogate's lead to 3-1 at Rochdale.

    Liam Shephard and Theo Vassell have scored to put Salford 2-0 ahead at Leyton Orient.

    Middlesbrough 3-1 Derby

    Middlesbrough have really taken the game to Derby in the second-half.

    Folarin Balogun forces a save from Ryan Allsop in the Rams goal, and Aaron Connolly fizzed a shot wide on the back of Dael Fry's smart nod into his path.

    Peterborough 0-0 Preston

    Darren Ferguson looks to his bench as he go past the hour mark.

    He's introduced Bali Mumba, on loan from Norwich, who I remember scored a beauty in the FA Cup third round to introduce himself to Posh fans.

    How much would they give for another one from him here?

    Tommy Leigh has doubled Accrington's advantage at home to Crewe.

    Reeco Hackett-Fairchild has broken the deadlock at Fratton Park to give Portsmouth the lead over basement side Doncaster.

    Record-matcher. Aleksandar Mitrovic notches his 31st Championship goal of the season for Fulham to equal Ivan Toney's tally from last season.

    It came from Neco Williams' mesmerising shuffle down the flank, a fine cross, and 'Mitro' gets ahead of Jacob Greaves to nestle the ball in the back of the net.

    Hull finally breached. Fulham have lift-off.

    Proper game!

    This game has exploded into life since we entered added time of the first half and the momentum has swung back in favour of the hosts - we're level again!

    It's ANOTHER header and this time it's Andy Yiadom. It's not the prettiest goal you're ever going to see but those Reading fans don't care one bit!

    Again it's a corner whipped in and Yiadom bundles it over the line. Coventry tried to clear but couldn't keep it from going in past Simon Moore. Edge of your seat stuff!

    Blackpool 1-0 Bournemouth

    This one is still fizzing along nicely and both sides have gone close in the early stages of the second half.

    Bournemouth's Philip Billing shoots over the bar before his goalkeeper is forced into action to deny Blackpool goalscorer Josh Bowler a second.

    Good stuff this, keep it going lads!

    "Take your chances when you're on top..."

    That will be ringing around the head of Michael O'Neill right now, as having seen his side strike the Forest post, Stoke go behind mere seconds later.

    Brennan Johnson is the man who takes it, finishing off a peach of a cross from Max Lowe to put the home side in front. Tenth of the season for the Wales international.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2022

    Nott'm Forest 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke hit the frame of the goal again, this time Lewis Baker rapping the post with a free-kick, and the Potters can't quite turn in the rebound.

    Michael O'Neill's side not too far off the big mix-up. Forest not having it their own way in front of almost 29,000 at a packed City Ground.

    Birmingham 2-0 Luton

    Luton are almost back in it instantly.

    First Allan Campbell shoots wide, then James Bree finds himself one-on-one with Blues keeper Neil Etheridge, but the home stopper saves.

  17. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2022

    Hull 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham have peppered the Hull box with a couple of crosses without real potency.

    Then they get a free-kick on the edge of the box after George Honeyman and Tom Cairney come together.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic gets a volley away from the set-piece but Matt Ingram fields it well.

    Decent start to the half for Blues.

    Jeremie Bela sends a ball forward and as Henri Lansbury sticks a boot out to try to intercept, he diverts it into the path of ex-Forest man Lyle Taylor, who slots it in to put Birmingham two goals to the good.

    This would be the hosts' first win in five games if they hold on, and a blow to Luton who have been in good form.

    The home fans are stunned and the comeback is complete for the Sky Blues!

    Coventry have picked up exactly where they left off and win an early corner. Defender Michael Rose sends a bullet header back across goal and into the back of the net.

    Peterborough 0-0 Preston

    Cameron Archer has been bright since joining on loan from Aston Villa last month and he has just sent a shot narrowly wide in the first action of the second half.

    As for Peterborough, they're in desperate need of a win, can they do enough to get three points this afternoon?
