    Notts County have had no choice but to try and take the game to the league leaders and are creating chances and putting that Stockport back line under pressure.

    There are a host of really excellent, technical players on show here and you can see them trying to work the right ball for both sides.

    Stockport seem to be more content to try and catch the away side on the break for now. They've got the towering two-tiered Cheadle End packed to the rafters to cheer them on, behind the goal they’re attacking.

    At the moment however, it’s the fans buffeted by the breeze in the uncovered Railway End that are seeing most of the ball, as Notts County try to get back level.

    Joe Taylor has put Colchester 1-0 up at home to Salford, assisted by Northern Ireland international midfielder Cam McGeehan.

    Bradford have come from behind to make it 2-1 at Doncaster Rovers, Tyler Smith with the strike just before half-time as injury time commences.

    Both sets of fans are doing their best to inspire their teams here, but they are still waiting for this game to find a spark.

    The home side have had the one clear chance, with Jamal Lowe denied by local lad and Swansea academy product David Cornell.

    As things stand, it is not easy to see how either side might find a route to goal.

    Bristol City 1-2 Hull City

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City defender on BBC Radio Humberside

    It's a great penalty. It was nearly just a yard away [from the keeper], but I will class it as a quality bit of a knowledge of him knowing where the keeper will go.

    He can read people.

    Turkish midfielder Ozan Tufan steps up for Hull and slams the ball brilliantly past Max O'Leary.

    Hull have come from behind to lead before half-time.

    Second spot-kick converted by the schemer this season, his first since August's game against Sheffield Wednesday, and his second career effort against the Robins having beaten Daniel Bentley in July 2022.

  7. PENALTYpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2023

    Penalty to the away side!

    Second penalty of the game. Bit of confusion around what the award was for.

    Ben lives up to part of his name as he Cabango-ed Ched Evans with a raised arm while going up for the ball and is booked.

    The Swansea defender has four for the season.

  9. League One Latestpublished at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2023

    Cambridge 1-0 Exeter

    Exeter still massively under the cosh but the Grecians are yet to concede again yet, just about holding on at a Cambridge side who could jump up a few places in the middle of League One with this expected win tonight.

    Exeter have not won in 12 League One games remember...

    Bristol City 1-1 Hull

    Having not scored since September before his goal against Cardiff last time out, Aaron Connolly has now scored back-to-back goals for the first time since August.

    It's been a tough time for the former Brighton forward, but he seems to have the bit between his teeth now.

    Sophie Hurcom

    That Hull goal has really silenced Ashton Gate although I don't think the batch of Tigers fans behind the goal at the other end of the pitch, who have made the long journey down south, really mind.

    Bristol City keeper Max O'Leary had just made a decent save to keep out Ozan Tufan's effort when barely two minutes later Aaron Connolly somehow finds space in the box and buries his shot into the far bottom corner.

    Bristol City 1-1 Hull City

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City defender on BBC Radio Humberside

    That's why you don't have a go at your strikers because they can go and do that. That was a harder chance than the one he just missed.

    The character they have shown to come from behind again, a great finish.

    Aaron Connolly (33 mins)

    Hull square things up.

    Aaron Connolly was given far too much time on the edge of the box to wriggle a yard, get the ball out of his feet and then curl a perfect strike from the D beyond Max O'Leary.

    Someone should have put a foot in but you can't fault the quality of the strike.

  14. 'What all good strikers do'published at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2023

    Crewe 0-1 Barrow

    Dave Bayliss
    Ex-Barrow manager on BBC Radio Cumbria

    He has done what all good strikers do and he has gambled.

    He has followed the ball in and got his reward.

    Barrow deserve to be ahead, they look like a really good organised side.

    A night for top scorers it is then.

    Wimbledon's main man Ali Al-Hamadi gave them a 2-0 lead at Crawley.

    Meanwhile, Bradford's hotshot Andy Cook has levelled it at 1-1 at Doncaster, his 11th of the season to nullify Joe Ironside's opener.

    Barrow's Ben Whitfield has also half-volleyed his side into the lead at Crewe.

    Swansea 0-0 Preston

    Not surprising really that North End's goalkeeper Dai Cornell is having such a good game.

    He was born in Swansea, started out there, played for the first-team.

    So this has special significance for him.

    His latest act to keep Preston level was to deny a roaming Josh Key from a tight angle with the legs.

  17. Postpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 22 December 2023

    Swansea 0-0 Preston

    Another chance for Swansea.

    Josh Key again the provider with the ball in and it's a header from Ben Cabango which drifts the wrong side of the crossbar, at least from a Swans perspective.

    Preston goalkeeper Dai Cornell more than happy with it.
