  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Wigan 0-0 Norwich

    A blow for Wigan as defender Jack Whatmough goes down and cannot continue.

    Ex-Tottenham, Swansea and Liverpool defender Steven Caulker comes on in his place.

  2. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:36 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Hull City 0-0 Preston

    Hull City midfielder Ozan Tufan appeals for a penalty after a challenge from Preston keeper Freddie Woodman in the box.

    The Turkish midfielder flew to the ground like he'd been given an electric shock.

    The referee isn't having any of it and Tufan is booked for diving.

    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    As a player you are hoping to make an impression in training as soon as possible.

    He has made seven changes today so I wonder what those seven are thinking of the future.

    He has got to work quickly.

    Peterborough are really enjoying their trip to the seaside as Kwame Poku has scored a third for the Posh at Morecambe.

    Luton 0-0 Burnley

    The away side go close as Ethan Horvath is forced into a smart save by Johann Berg Gudmundsson's free-kick.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Blackpool 1-0 Stoke

    Kenny Dougall and Ian Poveda have been booked in quick succession for the home side.

    Mick McCarthy has had a player sent off in two of his four matches in charge of the Seasiders. He does not want a third.

  7. Postpublished at 15:30 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Hull City 0-0 Preston

    Still goalless at the MKM Stadium and it's pretty even between the two sides, but Hull have a slight edge.

    The Tigers haven't lost at home in their last five matches.

    Preston may have only won three of their last 10 but all three were away from home.

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    Viktor just the 69th most popular name for baby boys born in Sweden in 2022 if anyone was interested...

    Anyway, out on the pitch Viktor Gyokeres sees another attempt blocked as the away side go in search of an opener.

    Jacob Wakeling has equalised for Swindon at Salford.

    Blackpool 1-0 Stoke

    The Potters are trying to look for a way back into the game but Dwight Gayle's shot is easy for Chris Maxwell.

    Stoke have not won successive league games since October. Given that, it's no surprise that they cannot pull themselves away from trouble.

    The second Neil Warnock era at Huddersfield Town has lift off!

    Watford loanee Joseph Hungbo scores his first for the Terriers with a quality strike after a quick counter.

    Peterborough now lead 2-0 at Morecambe, Joe Ward with the second for the Posh.

    Mo Eisa has restored MK Dons lead at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wedneday.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 QPR

    Chris Martin tries his luck in search of his second QPR goal, but he can only poke the ball into the arms of Boro goalie Zack Steffen.

    The visitors are doing OK so far.

  15. Postpublished at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Blackburn 0-0 Swansea

    Still goalless at Ewood Park after 22 minutes.

    A little cagey from both sides with few opportunities of note.

    When you come out of retirement to take over a team in the relegation zone and you fall behind inside 10 minutes...

    Neil Warnock's Huddersfield have it all to do.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Sunderland 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City inches away from taking the lead against the run of play.

    A cheeky little backheel from Mark Sykes feeds Anis Mehmeti whose strike hits the inside of the post.

    I have no idea how that stayed out!

    The keeper may have got a touch - he's getting high fives from his team-mates.

  18. Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Wigan 0-0 Norwich

    The Canaries show signs of life with their first real attack, but Josh Sargent's effort is straight at Ben Amos.

  19. Postpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2023

    Rotherham 0-0 Coventry

    One Swede denies another.

    Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres does well to create some space to get a shot off but compatriot, and namesake, Viktor Johansson makes the save in the Rotherham goal.

    Viktor evidently a popular name in Sweden in the late 1990s.
