We're back under way in most of our matches across all three leagues.
Now, are things going to quieten down during the second half or are we in for more of the same and a whole host of goals coming our way?

HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 27 August 2022
Well, we're at half-time at most of our matches now and I think we're going to need a moment to all catch our breath.
We've had a ridiculous 19 goals go in during the first 45 minutes in nine of the 10 of our Championship matches so far.
Let's just catch up with where we stand.

What a start to the season 20-year-old Tommy Conway is enjoying for Bristol City, who scores for the fifth time in seven appearances with a really well-worked team goal.
It was all started by Kal Naismith at the back, who's pass cuts the ball right through midfield. Eventually it comes out wide to Alex Scott before Conway arrives at speed in the box as the cross comes in, to smash the ball straight into the top of the net.

Seriously, how many goals is this guy going to score?!
Oscar Estupinan has his SIXTH goal of the Championship season.
Coventry goalkeeper Simon Moore makes a hash of a Lewie Coyle cross and there's the Colombian to gobble up his second of the day.

Cardiff City 0-0 Preston North End
When there are goals flying in left, right and centre across the Championship it's not hard to guess that the only match which still remains goalless is the one at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Preston have scored only one match all season, while the Bluebirds have just three goals to their name.
True to form so far, we're about five minutes from half-time and neither team has recorded a shot on target yet.

Wigan 0-2 Burnley
Wigan, unbeaten so far this season, look for a route back into this game.
James McClean's corner is met by Jack Whatmough at the back stick but he can't direct his header on target.

Blackpool 1-0 Bristol City
This is such an open game with so many chances coming at both ends, it's hard to believe there's still only one goal in it.
Josh Bowler almost doubled his tally for Blackpool, but his shot narrowly goes over the bar.
GOAL: Huddersfield 2-1 West Brompublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 27 August 2022
Jed Wallace (38 mins)

That's one back for the Baggies!

GOAL: Watford 1-2 QPRpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 27 August 2022
Chris Willock (34 mins)
What a goal this is by Rangers!
A great counter-attack saw Ethan Laird picking out Chris Willock who finds the back of the net with a delightful finish.
Good game this one.

That's goals in nine of our 10 Championship games already.
The match without a goal - of course it's Preston's match. The Lilywhites' opening five league games have featured just one goal so far, with four 0-0 draws to date, and they're still goalless at Cardiff.
