  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Huddersfield 1-1 Luton

    Amari'i Bell equalises for Luton just before half-time after Duane Holmes had drilled Huddersfield in front midway through.

    All square.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Coventry 1-1 Bristol City

    All square at the CBS Arena. Jake Bidwell headed the hosts in front from close range, but Antoine Semenyo drew Bristol City level shortly before the half and hour mark.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Millwall go in at the break one goal ahead thanks to Tom Bradshaw's early score after only four minutes.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Now that's what you call a miss from Conor Washington.

    Dan Barlaser picks apart the Millwall defence with a brilliant pass right through the middle, which sets off Washington who gets in behind the back line.

    Washington does all the hard work, rounds keeper Bartosz Bialkowski but then fires his shot miles wide of an open goal and over the bar.

    Rotherham really should be level.

    Amari'i Bell (43 mins)

    I was just writing about how grateful Huddersfield would be to the sliding figure of Tom Lees for making a huge block for the home side to deny Luton, when Amari'i Bell found the back of the net to level.

    Timely.

    Coventry 1-1 Bristol City

    Bristol City have been lively since they got that equaliser and almost took the lead, had it not been for an excellent block on the line by Viktor Gyokeres.

    The visitors have a corner which Kal Naismith gets his head on. The ball is on its way into the goal but the goalscorer Gykores turns goal denier and heads it clear from danger for Coventry.

    Plymouth are back in front at home to MK Dons and it's Niall Ennis who has rifled in his eighth league goal of the season from an angle after a lightning break from Argyle.

    Kieran Phillips has put basement-boys Morecambe 1-0 ahead at home to fellow-strugglers Burton with a close-range finish after a long clearance from the keeper caused havoc in the Millers' defence.

    Blackpool 1-0 Sunderland

    Chris Maxwell has been called upon for Blackpool, denying Jack Clarke as Sunderland push forward.

    Tangerines fans don't wait long for an attacking response from the hosts though, as Anthony Patterson flaps at a cross and Birtley-born Gary Madine isn't far away from firing the loose ball in for a second.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Not much to shout home about for Rotherham fans this afternoon, who have yet to see their side have a shot.

    Millwall are continuing to dominate in possession and territory at The Den, while George Honeyman and Andreas Voglsammer have both tested Millers keeper Viktor Johansson.

    Vadaine Oliver has doubled his tally for the day, turning in a ball which had come back off the bar to put Bradford back infront against Salford at Valley Parade.

    Luke Hannant has put Colchester ahead at home to fifth-placed Swindon while Charlie Colkett's thunderbolt has given Crewe a 1-0 lead at home to Tranmere.

    Looks like a long afternoon for Shrewsbury who will play the next hour and change with 10 men at home to Fleetwood. Matthew Pennington received a red card for a handball on the line and Admiral Muskwe has converted from the spot to put the visitors ahead and Promise Omochere has doubled the advantage soon after.

    In the game between two sides who haven't won since 22 October, Charlton have taken the lead against Portsmouth at Fratton Park through Jesuran Rak-Sakyi. Lots of pressure on Danny Cowley after a run of one league win in 13 before today.

    Aaron Collins' 13th goal of the season has put Bristol Rovers 1-0 to the good against Cheltenham.

    Antoine Semenyo (28 mins)

    Just as we were writing about Bristol City's lack of chances in front of goal so far this afternoon, Antoine Semenyo goes and fires them back on level terms at the CBS Arena.

    Nahki Wells has the initial shot from the box, which is saved, but the ball falls kindly to Semenyo who slots the ball beyond Ben Wilson for his fifth goal of the season.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Millwall can be rightly wondering how they're not 2-0 up here.

    Callum Styles' strike forces Viktor Johansson into making a good save but Tom Bradshaw somehow heads over on the rebound, when it really should have been in.

    Duane Holmes (25 mins)

    Great work from Jack Rudoni to have a crack cutting in off the right for Huddersfield.

    Was it a pass? Was it a shot? Either way, wonderful touch from Duane Holmes killed it stone dead and he then just fired into the Luton net.

    Coventry 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City started the season strongly in terms of their threat up front and didn't seem to have much trouble scoring.

    But the goals have dried up somewhat the last few weeks and they've scored just five in their last eight league matches.

    So far this afternoon they're yet to have a shot on target either.

    A couple of big goals in this division as Nathan Holland has levelled for MK Dons at Plymouth, who have won 11 of their 12 home games in League One.

    Elsewhere Lewis Wing has curled home a free-kick to put Wycombe 1-0 up at Peterborough. The Chairboys lost their first game in five on Thursday against Plymouth, can they start another good run and jump into the top-six with a win here?

  17. goal

    GOAL: Blackpool 1-0 Sunderlandpublished at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2023

    Shayne Lavery (21 mins)

    Deadlock broken and it's a massively welcome opener for struggling Blackpool.

    CJ Hamilton plays in Shayne Lavery down the right channel and he draws Anthony Patterson before sliding the ball coolly past him at the near post.

    Lovely goal on the break.

    Millwall 1-0 Rotherham

    Millwall have one of the best records at home in the Championship this season and this afternoon is, so far, following that trend.

    Zian Flemming has had a couple of shots saved by Viktor Johansson in the Rotherham goal as the Lions push for a second goal.

    Vadaine Oliver had given Bradford the lead against Salford at Valley Parade with a looping header but Conor McAleny has drawn City level.

    Down the Yorkshire road, Doncaster have taken the lead at home to Carlisle through James Maxwell while Alex Pattison has given Harrogate an early lead at Hartlepool in the race to pull away from danger.

    A bit further south Will Randall has fired Sutton ahead in the local derby against AFC Wimbledon.

    Blackpool 0-0 Sunderland

    Oooh, slight flicker of excitement as Jack Clarke slings in a dangerous cross for the visitors, but Sunderland's Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo can't connect with it.
