    Well now.

    Sam Gallagher thinks he's pulled one back for Rovers but the flag goes up for offside after quite some time.

    It's the right call to be fair.

    Bradley Johnson was offside and it was his initial effort that was parried out to Gallagher.

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Fulham full-back Neco Williams is in the book for smashing the ball away after Tyrhys Dolan has been felled.

    Really daft booking that.

    Harrogate 1-2 Hartlepool

    Advantage Hartlepool in our early League Two game as David Ferguson smashes home from the edge of the box.

    Pools were trailing in this one and now they have their noses in front.

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic hits the net. Well, the sidenetting.

    The Serbian is in space at the back stick but can't quite get his angles right from Jean Michael Seri's corner.

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn have had the better of it since the break.

    If they can get a goal then we could be in for an exciting finish.

    That said, they've not scored in their past five away games so...

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Sam Gallagher has given Blackburn a different option through the middle.

    Rovers win a free-kick about 30 yards out or so and it's headed behind for a corner to the away side.

    That set piece is headed out for another corner and THAT one is smuggled away to relative safety.

    Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic certainly puts himself about.

    He's got 34 goals this season but he always plays right on the edge.

    He barges into Rovers defender Jan Paul van Hecke much to the Rovers' man's chagrin.

    The referee doesn't book the Serbian but it's a really silly challenge.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 47 mins

    Eesh.

    Nearly game, set and match.

    Fabio Carvalho picks the ball up just inside the Fulham area after a neat inside pass and his shot takes a massive deflection and hits the outside of the post.

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Sam Gallagher will give Blackburn a different kind of threat through the middle.

    The big striker hasn't been prolific in recent seasons but his physical presence should hopefully help Rovers keep the ball in attacking areas a bit more and gives them more of an outlet.

    Back under way.

    Can Blackburn avoid a second capitulation against Fulham this season?

    Striker Sam Gallagher is on for forward Reda Khadra.

    FT: Sheffield United 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Then, Ryan Yates scored a last-minute header to give Nottingham Forest a dramatic but deserved point at fellow Championship play-off hopefuls Sheffield United.

    The away side enjoyed the lion's share of possession and chances in the first half but blew a great opportunity to take the lead when Wes Foderingham saved Brennan Johnson's penalty with ease.

    Steve Cook sent a powerful header against the crossbar as Forest picked up where they had left off after the break, but they were left to rue their profligacy when Billy Sharp rose brilliantly to head home a Morgan Gibbs-White cross.

    Sharp and Ben Davies were then denied by Forest goalkeeper Ethan Horvath as United looked to make the game safe, and those saves proved to be vital when Yates headed in from James Garner's corner in the last of five minutes of time added on.

    A point was enough to send the Blades up to sixth, while Forest climbed to eighth.

  12. Terriers move up to second with winpublished at 13:27 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    FT: Huddersfield 3-0 Peterborough

    Huddersfield celebrateImage source, PA Media

    In case you missed it, we had two frantic games in the Championship last night.

    First, two goals in the opening seven minutes set Huddersfield on the way to a thoroughly dominant victory over rock-bottom Peterborough that moved the Terriers up to second in the Championship.

    Danel Sinani curled in a classy opener from 20 yards and Tom Lees headed home a corner to double Huddersfield's early advantage.

    Victory pushed Carlos Corberan's side above Bournemouth but the Cherries have five games in hand on Huddersfield and will return to second spot if they avoid defeat at Preston later today.

    Peterborough took until stoppage time to register a shot on target as they slipped to a 16th defeat in 18 away league games this season and they remain eight points adrift of safety with 12 matches to go.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Fulham in total control and going 11 points clear at the top.

    Neeskens Kebano turned in a rebound and Harry Wilson clipped home a second for the dominant home side.

    They'll be on 73 points from 34 games unless anything crazy happens in the second half and you'd struggle to make an argument against them reaching 100 points by the end of the campaign.

    Blackburn, who were 2-0 down at the break when they lost 7-0 at home to the Whites in November, have been second best in every department.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:20 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Harrogate 1-1 Hartlepool

    All square at the break in League Two.

    It's been all about the Lukes up in Harrogate, with Armstrong giving the home side the lead, only for Molyneux to level four minutes later.

    All to play for after the break.

    Into four minutes of time added on.

    Blackburn just need to get back in and regroup.

  16. Postpublished at 43 mins

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn win a corner that Fuham centre-back Tim Ream powers away to safety.

    Rovers get back on the ball but the big American is then able to shepherd the ball out of play.

  17. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Fulham 2-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn win a free-kick just inside the Fulham half.

    Bradley Johnson looks to play a ball in for the big lads up from the back to attack but home goalkeeper Marek Rodak is able to just stroll off his line and pluck it out of the air.

    Tough going for Rovers at the moment.

  18. Postpublished at 38 mins

    Blackburn fans won't thank me for this but Neeskens Kebano and Harry Wilson both scored in the 7-0 at Ewood Park earlier in the season too...

    Cruise control!

    Blackburn get totally undone by one ball through the lines from Tosin Adarabioyo and Harry Wilson sprints on to it before clipping home a lovely finish.

    Fulham are rampant right now and Blackburn have got to hold on because this could get worse.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:07 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2022

    Not great.

    Blackburn forward Tyrhys Dolan chucks himself to the floor in the area and is booked for a dive.
