We're back.
It may have been quiet, very quiet, in League One and League Two but we've had a lot of excitement in the Championship so far!
Fingers crossed for plenty more goals to come.
HT: Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham
No goals in the opening 45 in Devon with a trip to Wembley up for grabs.
Luke Southwood has been very busy for the visitors.
It's quite the goalfest in Leagues One and Two so far.
Six games, no goals.
Things can only get better, right?
HT: Blackburn 1-0 Blackpool
Decent celebration from Blackburn's Tyrhys Dolan... his goal has Blackburn in front against neighbours Blackpool at Ewood Park.
The perfect flip on pancake day.
Plymouth 0-0 Cheltenham
Danny Mayor thinks he has scored from a corner for Plymouth.
But an offside attacker was interfering with the goalkeeper and it’s chalked off!
Still 0-0 in the Papa John’s Trophy semi-final at Home Park.
Blackburn 1-0 Blackpool
So far, so good for Blackburn as they look to stay firmly in the play-off picture tonight. Tyrhys Dolan's fine finish after 31 minutes means they're in fourth as it stands.
Blackpool must win to have any hope of exiting the bottom three tonight. They're yet to have a shot on target. Mick McCarthy will likely be having words.
We've now reached half-time in all of our Championship games, so let's look at the main headlines...
Swansea 1-2 Stoke
That early change for Swansea only leads to a glorious chance for Stoke.
The onrushing Ben Wilmot has a chasm of space in which to meet a cross from the left in front of goal. The defender does everything else right but gets his header horribly wrong, angling it wide of the right-hand post.
Swansea's Morgan Whittaker had a great opportunity inside the penalty area just beforehand too, leathering an effort wide.
League Two latest
Oh so close for Rochdale at home to Stockport.
They break from their own half and a sweeping pass finds Devante Rodney in space on the left.
He cuts inside and curls a beauty from 20 yards beyond the goalkeeper but it crashes against the bar!
Rotherham 1-0 Sunderland
It's not all that often you see a player taken out while they're trying to take a set-piece.
Dan Ballard wants to put the ball down and get play moving for Sunderland. Jordan Hugill has other ideas, appearing to bash into him at speed.
Hugill felt aggrieved not to have had a penalty shout succesfully answered a few moments ago. Players from both sides become involved in a bit of a ruckus because of his robust intervention.
Blackburn 1-0 Blackpool
On-loan Leeds winger Ian Poveda has a go for Blackburn, coming in off the left flank and firing a shot over the crossbar.
Perhaps not an effort that will impress new Leeds boss Javi Gracia, if he's watching.
Swansea 1-2 Stoke
It's not completely clear whether this is tactical improvisation or a switch imposed on him, but Swansea supremo Russell Martin makes a change.
Having watched his side fall behind since taking an early lead, Martin sends on Olivier Ntcham for Harry Darling.
Marcelino Nunez (37 mins)
Another for Marcelino Nunez and Norwich!
The Canaries are flying at Carrow Road.
This one is not quite as impressive as his first - that would be tough to beat - as the Chilean's run is found by Kenny McLean's teasing left foot cross and he buries it past John Ruddy.
A long way back for Birmingham now.
And as I type that the Blues' defence is cut wide open again but Adam Idah fires wide.
League Two latest
Walsall have perhaps come closest to the opening goal in League Two.
Isaac Hutchinson slipped though on goal but denied by James Beadle in the Crewe goal.
No goals in the other three games either.
League One latest
Callum Camps inches away from giving Stockport the lead at Rochdale.
A cross from the right isn’t cleared and Camps meets it on the volley from the top of the area and strikes the base of the left-hand post.
At Fleetwood, Liam Bennett for Cambridge has been denied by the goalkeeper and it’s still 0-0 there too.
Tyrhys Dolan (31 mins)
Tyrhys Dolan was only denied by Chris Maxwell's fingertip a few moments ago, and now he's earned revenge!
Callum Brittain sprays a pass out to the right flank, releasing Sorba Thomas in a dangerous area.
Thomas moves towards the box and picks out Dolan, who sweeps in emphatically to put Rovers in front!
Blackburn 0-0 Blackpool
While we're in the mood for spectacular saves in the Championship...
Blackburn's Tyrhys Dolan charges forward and thumps a shot at goal from distance that is heading towards the top-left hand corner of Chris Maxwell's net.
The goalkeeper is the Seasiders' salmon impersonator, leaping to tip the shot narrowly over the crossbar!
Marcelino Nunez (27 mins)
AND WHAT A GOAL!
That is an absolute stunner from Marcelino Nunez!
A Norwich corner is headed clear by Kevin Long and as the ball drops Nunez catches the volley with impeccable timing, sending it across John Ruddy and into the corner of the net.
He won't hit too many like that - Ruddy didn't move!
Goal of the season contender there!
