  1. Coventry 0-1 Norwich

    This game is turning very scrappy.

    It's getting a little stale with neither giving up any ground to the other.

    Ollie Cooper (68 mins)

    Game turned on its head.

    Swansea are eyeing a fourth straight win as sub Ollie Cooper, who has been on the field for a matter of seconds, lets fly from distance and beats Conor Hazard into the corner.

    What an impact.

    A quickfire double for Colby Bishop sees Portsmouth 2-0 up at home to Port Vale, meaning they return to the top of the league.

    David Ajiboye has put Peterborough ahead at home to Lincoln.

    Remarkably, the second half has only just started at Stevenage, where the hosts lead 1-0.

    Boro defender Luther James-Wildin was stretchered off early on and Wigan's Callum Lang was sent off, resulting in 19 minutes of added time being played at the end of the first half.

    GOAL: QPR 0-4 Blackburn

    Sammie Szmodics (66 mins)

    Yikes.

    Sammie Szmodics gets his goal. Rovers get their fourth. Rangers fans get the chance to use their lungs.

    Thats seven for the season for Szmodics who holds his nerve after collecting a loose ball after Andy Moran had tried to thread Tyrhys Dolan through on goal.

    Plymouth so close to retaking the lead. Carl Rushworth produces a fine save as Bali Mumba tries to scramble home after Macauley Gillesphey returns the ball into the danger area after the Swans only half-cleared a corner.

  9. Preston celebrate scoring at IpswichRex Features

    Six goals in our 10 Championship games since the break and 22 in total.

    GOAL: QPR 0-3 Blackburn

    Arnor Sigurdsson (59 mins)

    It is three. And a second for Iceland international Arnor Sigurdsson who collects a pass down the left flank from Tyrhys Dolan and rifles an angled strike past Asmir Begovic.

    Rovers firmly on course to make it four successive wins at Loftus Road for the first time since 1996. The Hoops gloom deepens.

  12. QPR 0-2 Blackburn

    Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics have seen efforts blocked by Rangers defenders as Blackburn seek to put this game to bed.
