    Sheffield Wednesday are level for the second time against MK Dons at Hillsborough, Michael Smith equalising from the spot.

    Elsewhere, not a goal but Exeter have been reduced to 10 men at Port Vale, Rakeem Harper the man seeing red.

    Huddersfield 2-1 Birmingham

    Birmingham scramble two Huddersfield efforts off the line.

    A third goal for Town would surely put them in poll position to secure a first win of the year.

    That Jack Clarke goal for Sunderland means we've had as many goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half of our Championship games as we had in the entirety of the first halves.

    That's more like it!

    Blackpool 1-0 Stoke

    A second goal really would give Blackpool and Mick McCarthy some welcome breathing space and substitute CJ Hamilton has a chance to provide it.

    But after getting in behind the Stoke defence, he drags his effort wide.

    Bristol City are shell-shocked.

    Totally against the run of play.

    Sunderland winger Jack Clarke does enough to shake-off the City defender and blasts a thunderous strike past goalkeeper Max O'Leary and into the top corner.

    An incredible goal.

    Dave Challinor is working his magic.

    It's been a little stop-start, but he seems to be hitting his stride at Stockport County.

    He is getting them there. They are leading against Stevenage which would be a big result for them.

    Wimbledon now lead 2-0 at home to Hartlepool, Diallang Jaiyesimi with the second for the Dons.

    Wigan 0-0 Norwich

    Better from the visitors as they fashion the first chance of the half, but Grant Hanley's header from a Gabriel Sara corner is just off target.

    Norwich really could do with the three points here to keep up the pressure on the top six.

    Rotherham 0-1 Coventry

    Can't imagine this would have gone down well.

    Brooke Norton-Cuffy spent the first half of the season on loan at Rotherham from Arsenal but they recalled him and sent him to Coventry in Janaury.

    The England Under-20 international sees a shot well seaved by Viktor Johansson in the Millers goal.

    The Swede then denies compatriot Viktor Gyokeres (not for the first time today).

    Hull City 0-0 Preston

    Who is going to break the deadlock?

    Neither side has wrestled control of this match which has been pretty flat to be honest.

    The last time Hull failed to score at home was back in October.

    Leaders Leyton Orient have taken the lead at home to Crawley through Idris El Mizouni.

    Coby Rowe has broken the deadlock for Sutton at home to Doncaster.

    Harrogate have doubled their lead at home to Crewe courtesy of Kazeem Olaigbe.

    Davis Keillor-Dunn has doubled Mansfield's advantage at Tranmere.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 QPR

    Boro were not at their best before the interval but they are so close to taking the lead here.

    Riley McGree takes aim and his shot is touched onto the post by Senegal stopper Seny Dieng, who is up to gather the rebound.

    Sunderland 0-0 Bristol City

    Sunderland whip a cross in to the mixer and it's picked up by Patrick Roberts whose shot skids wide.

    The Bristol City goalkeeper Max O'Leary was stretching for the ball but it's off of the mark.

    Wigan 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich were second best in the first 45 at the DW Stadium and David Wagner has responded.

    A double switch for the Canaries as Ben Gibson and Marcelino Nunez have replaced Michael Omobamidele and Josh Sargent.

    Neil Warnock's Town complete the turnaround!

    Jaheim Headley, in just his second start for the club, gives the Terriers a vital lead with a confident finish after being played in by GOALKEEPER Nicholas Bilokapic just moments after Troy Deeney had hit the post for Blues!

    Sunderland 0-0 Bristol City

    The downpour looks to have eased off at the Stadium of Light.

    Five minutes into the second half and it's still goalless.

    Bristol City have started brightly.

    A half-time change for Blackpool as CJ Hamilton replaces Lewis Fiorini.

    A big 45 minutes for the Seasiders as they chase a first victory in the Championship since 29 October.

    Northampton 1-2 Grimsby

    It's all over at Sixfields and it's the visitors who pick up all three points. It looks likely Northampton will fall out of the top three at the end of the day as Carlisle are currently leading.

  20. Second halfpublished at 16:04 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Righteo, we're back under way across the leagues.

    Just the three goals from our nine 3pm Championship games in the first half.

    To paraphrase a famous quote, where are you goals? Where are you? Let’s be having you! Come on!
