    Huddersfield 1-1 QPR

    What a time it would be for Huddersfield to score.

    They come close to finding a late, and vital, winner against QPR through Jordan Rhodes but Seny Dieng makes the save to deny him.

    Paul Huntingdon has found his own net to give Harrogate a shock 1-0 lead at in-form Carlisle.

    Thomas Dickson-Peters has a third for Grimsby at Crewe while Scott Quigley's penalty has reduced the arrears for Rochdale who now trail 2-1 at Salford.

    Bolton lead at home to Cheltenham and are within eight points of the automatic promotion places, given Plymouth trail at Hillsborough.

    Kyle Dempsey has put Ian Evatt's side in sight of a fourth win in five matches.

    GOAL: Millwall 1-1 Sunderlandpublished at 16:43 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Dennis Cirkin (81 mins)

    It had been coming.

    Millwall have been the better team in this game but have not really threatened to build on their one-goal lead.

    And that's proven costly because Dennis Cirkin has headed Sunderland level with eight minutes to go, from a cross by Alex Pritchard.

    Cirkin has taken a whack in scoring that goal.

    Will Collar has given Stockport some breathing space at home to Tranmere with a third goal. 3-1 to the Hatters now but with Barrow leading at Colchester, they remain outside the play-off places.

    Luton 1-0 Stoke

    Luton were dominant in the first half this afternoon but are clinging on slightly now.

    Lovely bit of craftsmanship from Bersant Celina sends Tyrese Campbell away but he volleys over.

    Hull 1-0 Cardiff

    Jaden Philogene goes down in the area as Cardiff search for another penalty.

    But nothing is given and in the mean time, Ryan Wintle picks up the ball and fires a deflected strike over the bar.

    Not as late as last week but Ryan Bowman has broken the deadlock for Shrewsbury at Oxford as the play-off pace intensifies in League One.

    Barnsley, currently 1-0 down at Portsmouth, look like being the day's biggest losers, with three teams all closing within two points of them in the table.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Reading 2-2 Watfordpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Jeff Hendrick (80 minutes)

    What a turnaround!

    Reading midfielder Jeff Hendrick blasts a volley past the Watford keeper and into the back of the net.

    He hit that like a dream.

  10. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:37 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Reading 1-2 Watford

    Watford have the ball in the back of the Reading net.

    The flag was down.

    But the Reading keeper Joe Lumley went over to the linesman and was screaming at him.

    Then the flag went up.

    No goal.

    Millwall 1-0 Sunderland

    Millwall will be back in the play-off spots if they can hang on for all three points against Sunderland but the Black Cats are applying plenty of pressure at The Den.

    Still a good 15 minutes, probably more, remaining.

    There is a breakthrough in the Ferguson derby.

    Duncan's Forest Green are 1-0 down at home to Darren's Peterborough thanks to Jonson Clarke-Harris' penalty with 18 minutes remaining at the New Lawn.

    Posh looking at a third staight win since the appointment of their new old manager.

  13. League One latestpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Morecambe scored five last weekend. They have conceded five this weekend.

    Jason Knight has added a fifth for Derby at Pride Park and ominously there is still 20 minutes plus stoppage time to negotiate for Derek Adams' side.

  14. League Two latestpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Conor McAleny has doubled Salford's lead at home to rock-bottom Rochdale who look like losing ground at the foot of the table.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 3-0 Blackpoolpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Paddy McNair (70 mins)

    Game over.

    Middlesbrough are surely home and dry against Blackpool now. Paddy McNair works onto Darragh Lenihan's flick on from Jonny Howson's corner and strokes home inside the area.

  16. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Luton 1-0 Stoke

    Ah, the old protected species that is the goalkeeper.

    Ben Wilmot heads home a high ball that almost had snow on it but it's disallowed for a foul on Luton stopper Ethan Horvath.

    Stoke can probably feel a bit aggrieved but you're not allowed to touch the keeper nowadays are you??

    David McGoldrick is taking the matchball home tonight, but he's generously loaned it out to strike partner James Collins for a moment to add a fourth for Derby from the penalty spot.

    Morecambe just want this one to end.

    Leaders Leyton Orient have scored one goal in their last seven, but the have another today.

    George Moncur has broken the deadlock against AFC Wimbledon at Brisbane Road. As it stands they are four points clear of Stevenage who await a breakthrough at Sutton.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Hull 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Cyrus Christie (62 mins)

    Hull take the lead and it's come just after the hour mark against Cardiff.

    Cyrus Christie finds the net for the hosts with a left-footed strike in the box.

    Remember, the visitors had a penalty saved in the first half. Possibly a very costly goal.

    Fleetwood have lost three in a row but debutant Jayden Stockley has put them 1-0 up on Burton, who were looking for a third straight win. League One remains as unpredictable as ever...

    Case in point... Burton march straight down the field and bag an equaliser through Deji Oshilaja. 1-1 now. As you were.
