    Game over?

    Jacob Brown thumps home to double the home side's money against the 10 men.

    Long, long way back from here for lowly Terriers.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    West Brom 0-0 Blackburn

    You have to believe me here... but West Brom have just hit the post.

    Jayson Molumby, on for Nathaniel Chalobah, crashes a left-footed strike from the edge of the area onto the left-hand upright.

    One of these, somewhere, is going to go in soon.

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    Frenetic pace in this.

    Middlesbrough look so dangerous whenever they get forward.

    Cameron Archer takes a dip from 25 yards but, unlike his goal to put Boro ahead just after the break, this one drifts well wide.

  4. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Bristol City 1-1 Wigan

    The Robins hit the frame of the goal once again!

    This time is Anis Mehmeti with a long-range effort which bounces off an upright.

    The bottom side were not level for long.

    Blackpool defender Callum Connolly inadvertently slices a clearance into his own net.

    Can the 10 men fight back again?

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Bristol City 1-1 Wigan

    More crossbar action down at Ashton Gate as Bristol City come close to retaking the lead.

    Alex Scott's header pings the bar from Joe Williams's cross from the right hand side.

    Nervy moments for Wigan fans.

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    Down the other end and Luton hit the crossbar through Carlton Morris from Jordan Clark's corner.

    It's off the underside of the woodwork but Preston scramble the ball clear.

    A chance for the 10 men of Preston as Troy Parrott cuts inside from the left before firing into the side-netting.

    Valentine's Day was yesterday but the cards are out in full force tonight!

    Will Boyle becomes the third player to be sent off in the Championship this evening.

    The defender, already on a booking, takes Dwight Gayle out and Huddersfield's task just got a whole load harder.

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Middlesbrough

    The home side have responded well to that Cameron Archer goal.

    Zac Steffen smothers an effort from Iliman Ndiaye after the away side overplay themselves into trouble 20 yards from their own goal.

    Ashley Fletcher (65 mins)

    Wigan have their equaliser!!

    Ashley Fletcher scores from close range after latching onto a ball into the box, and it could be a massive goal in the Latics' bid for survival.

    Robins keeper Max O'Leary got a hand to it, but couldn't keep the shot out.

    A goal for Fletcher to celebrate on the 200th appearance of his club career.

    What a start to the second half. Ryan Giles drove forward, he's tackled by Oliver Norwood, the ball runs for Cameron Archer and he wallops it into the top corner.

    Comeback complete!

    Middlesbrough pick up where they left off in the first half!

    Ryan Giles drives forward before it all seems to break down about 20 yards out.

    Oli Norwood tries to break up the play but only succeeds in poking the ball back towards his own goal and Cameron Archer hares on to the loose ball before crashing home a fearsome strike.

    Boro closing the gap to second-placed Sheffield United to seven points as it stands.

    West Brom 0-0 Blackburn

    Second 45 is getting going at The Hawthorns.

    Can either side take this game by the scruff of the next and pick up three crucial points in the race for the play-offs?

    Dom Hyam is on for Scott Wharton for Rovers.

    Blackpool had turned this game into much more of a contest in the second half, but their bid to draw level has just got considerably harder.

    Having been booked in the first half for catching Matt Grimes, Charlie Patino must have known his night was over as soon as he slid in on Matty Sorinola and did not get the ball.

    The on-loan Arsenal's youngster was shown a second yellow card - and could have no complaints.

    The good news for Blackpool is that Sorinola has just wasted a golden chance to make it 2-0 to Swansea.

    Bristol City 1-0 Wigan

    Half an hour to go and Wigan are still searching for a way back into the game.

    Max Power flashes a cross across the Robins box from the right, but no-one can get on the end of it.

  18. Second halfpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Middlesbrough.

    We're back under way at Bramall Lane.

    Hopefully the second half can live up the first.

  19. RED CARD: Charlie Patino (Blackpool)published at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Swansea 1-0 Blackpool

    From bad to worse for the away side.

    Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino is sent off in the 58th minute for a second bookable offence.

    The Tangerines, without a league win since October, are a goal and a man down.

    When it rains it pours...

    Preston 0-0 Luton

    Elijah Adebayo spurns another sight at goal for Luton after being played through by Jordan Clark.

    The forward cuts back onto his right foot and bends his shot wide of goal from just inside the area.

    With a man advantage, this game is there for the taking for the Hatters.
