Lincoln 2-0 Cheltenham
Calvin Andrew
Ex-Rochdale, Mansfield and Port Vale forward on Squad GoalsYou often hear managers talking about players being low on confidence, they need something to bounce in off them and they will get the vibe back.
It has gone on that long for Cheltenham now that the pressure is on them. I've seen fans at games they are playing away cheer when they have a shot on goal. It's definitely in their heads.
Remember, Cheltenham are yet to score in League One this season. Today is their 10th league game of the campaign.

At the midway point in the first half and we’ve had six goals in League One.
None better than Jamie Reid’s strike for Stevenage that found the bottom corner to put them 1-0 up on second placed Oxford United. But the U's have just equalised through Greg Leigh.
League leaders Portsmouth have just gone 1-0 down to Wigan Athletic. A lovely finish from Martial Godo who rolled the ball into the far corner of the net.
Lincoln’s Lasse Sorensen’s goal inside five minutes put them ahead against bottom of the league Cheltenham and the Danish midfielder has just netted another to double their lead.
Northampton Town are beating Exeter City 1-0.

QPR 0-0 Coventry
QPR have not won at home yet this season, or indeed since March, but they are close to the lead here.
It is only a fine stop from Ben Wilson that prevents that as he keeps out a glancing header from Lyndon Dykes.

Mehdi Leris (20 mins)
Stoke have pulled one back!
Mehdi Leris, back in the starting XI today, seemingly out of nowhere gets the Potters back in it after a disastrous start.
He smashes it into the top corner and Max O'Leary can't do anything about it.

Vakoun Bayo (19 mins)
The Hornets needed a quick response and they've got one.

QPR 0-0 Coventry
No goals in west London but QPR have already had to make a change at the back with Jake Clarke-Salter replacing Morgan Fox.
Coventry have had the best chance, but Ellis Simms was off target with his effort.

Cardiff 0-0 Rotherham
It's been a fairly gentle start at the Cardiff City Stadium, although Rotherham have had to do a fair bit of defending already.
Cardiff forward Yakou Meite has just had the game's first real sight of goal, but his scuffed shot is blocked by Tyler Blackett.

Hull 0-0 Plymouth
It's all going Hull's way so far, Plymouth have barely had a sniff of the ball so far.
Not a huge amount of action to speak of in front of goal yet mind.

Norwich 0-0 Birmingham
A half chance for Norwich as Jonathan Rowe's shot from outside the box is blocked.
That's the first shot of the match so far almost 15 minutes in.

Riley McGree (12 mins)
Two for Middlesbrough. Two for Riley McGree.
The Aussie is certainly in form here as he doubles the Teessiders' advantage with a fine first-time finish that leaves goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann rooted to the spot.
