    So a team who has lost more matches than Coventry City, the team propping up the table, is now looking down on the rest.

    Well done to Blackburn Rovers, but this league is now officially BONKERS!

    We'll be back in less than 24 hours for six more Championship games when Burnley, Sheffield United or even QPR could end the night in first place.

    Thank you for your company. See you tomorrow.

    Stoke 0-1 Rotherham

    Somehow, somehow Rotherham hold out for all three points.

    Ollie Rathbone gave them an early lead and Matt Taylor's men then weathered a huge amount of Stoke pressure to claim a second straight win.

    Millers goalkeeper Viktor Johansson was the away side's star man with a string of excellent saves to keep the Potters at bay.

    Stoke 0-1 Rotherham

    What a game Viktor Johansson has had for Rotherham.

    This time the Millers goalkeeper throws himself in the way as D'Margio Wright-Phillips looks to convert from close range.

    Moments later, the Swede denies Nick Powell's flicked header.

    West Brom 0-2 Bristol City

    A great return trip down the M5 guaranteed for those Bristol City supporters.

    One step back for West Brom and Richard Beale with this defeat.

    West Brom 0-2 Bristol City

    It is not going to be West Brom's night.

    John Swift's curling effort beats Max O'Leary but comes back off the bar.

    Blackburn 2-0 Sunderland

    Blackburn go top.

    Goals from Ben Brereton Diaz and Scott Wharton are enough to send Rovers to the summit.

    Victory for Jon Dahl Tomasson's men ends their 10-match run of alternating between winning and losing.

    It could have been even better for the home side as Ryan Hedges hit the post from the halfway line with the last action of the match!

    Stoke 0-1 Rotherham

    Tyrese Campbell cuts inside and charges at goal but, yet again, Rotherham goalkeeper Viktor Johansson is up to the task.

    A really assured display from the Swede in the Millers' goal.

    West Brom 0-2 Bristol City

    Nigel Pearson has emptied his bench to try and run the clock down and the game is now into six minutes of injury time.

    Despite West Brom's woes, this would be an excellent three points for Bristol City.

    Swansea 3-2 Reading

    A Tuesday night thriller for the Swansea supporters.

    Yakou Meite and Tom Ince had put Reading two up. Harry Darling, Oli Cooper and Jay Fulton turned it around.

    What a warm up for the high noon clash with Cardiff on Sunday!

    Norwich 0-1 Luton

    A fantastic result for Luton. A third straight loss for Norwich.

    Swansea 3-2 Reading

    Five minutes of injury time for Swansea to hang on as Reading start to throw a few balls into their box.

    Blackburn 2-0 Sunderland

    Blackburn closing in on a second successive win and top spot in the Championship.

    Victory tonight will end their 10-match run of alternating between winning and losing.

    Norwich 0-1 Luton

    Luton are heading for a fourth win in their last five away games as they keep Norwich at bay.

    Nathan Jones' team are starting to get some momentum going this season after last season's play-off efforts.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Preston

    Another defeat for struggling Huddersfield and another clean sheet for Preston.

    Greg Cunningham's second-half header was enough for the three points.

    Ryan Lowe's men are up to eighth with just nine goals but 10 clean sheets from their opening 16 matches.

  15. Postpublished at 21:35 British Summer Time 18 October 2022

    Norwich 0-1 Luton

    Eight minutes of injury time at Carrow Road.

    Still a glimmer of hope for the 10-man Canaries.

    Stoke 0-1 Rotherham

    Stoke boss Alex Neil changes his forward options.

    Dwight Gayle, who is yet to score this season, and Liam Delap are off and Nick Powell and Jacob Brown are on.

    Swansea 3-2 Reading

    Reading's response to that Jay Fulton goal is to throw on Andy Carroll.

    You know the ball is going aerially into that Swansea box in the closing stages!

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 18 October 2022

    West Brom 0-2 Bristol City

    West Brom are so close to the lifeline they are after as from Conor Townsend's cross, Brandon Asante-Thomas glances his header against the base of the post.

    Time is starting to run out for the Baggies.

  19. Postpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 18 October 2022

    Norwich 0-1 Luton

    This is the chance Norwich would have wanted as Teemu Pukki makes space for himself in the area. You expect the net to bulge but the effort goes wide of the far post.

    The Pukki of 2019 and 2021 probably would have scored in that position.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Preston

    Jordan Rhodes tees up Ollie Turton for a shot but he sends his effort over the bar.

    I think Huddersfield fans would rather it had been Turton setting up Rhodes in that position.
