Posh pushing once again, this time it's Kwame Poku who cuts inside from the right flank and whips in a left-footed shot which bends around James Beadle's upright.

Notts Co have scored plenty this season but focus recently has been on the goals they've shipped.

There was nearly a spectacular one as Walsall wing-back Tom Knowles took a clever quick free-kick from the halfway line that floated inches wide.

Us keeper James Beadle to the rescue after Harrison Burrows frees Ricky-Jade Jones down the right to burst into the box, only to see his low effort turned around the post by the big boot of Beadle.

Posh closest to breaking the deadlock.

Grimsby had started well, but they are indebted to goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright for keeping the scores level.

Mickey Demetriou sends the cross into the box where it is met by the head of Connor O'Riordan and Cartwright keeps it out.

Conor Grant comes close to breaking the deadlock for Port Vale as he fires a cross-shot across the face of goal.

The ball beats keeper Viljami Sinisalo and also the sliding Ethan Chislett before rolling past the upright.

Storm Elin is making herself known in the south west today and St James' Park is no exception.

Vale keeper Connor Ripley to the rescue to deny the Grecians a rare opening goal.

Ripley spreads himself to deny Harry Kite who had got onto the end of Ilmari Niskanen's fierce low cross at the back post.

Very blustery at SJP today so maybe low crosses are the way to go?

It is not a day for expansive football on the Lancashire coast - much more of a batten down the hatches afternoon!

Both sides struggling to put anything together in the tough conditions.

Bright start from the visitors who are not in the greatest form.

County have responded with a couple of corners. No real chances of note.

Another milestone at the Mem today where Rovers defender Jack Hunt makes his 500th career appearance, with more than 100 of those coming for each of Huddersfield and Bristol City.

Quite start to life for Matt Taylor in his forst Gas home game.

Very positive start from the home side at Blundell Park, obviously keen to impress new boss David Artell.

Alex Hunt has the first effort of the game, but his shot is over the top.

Early pressure from the visitors but a corner comes to nought.

Des Buckingham's side haven't netted in his opening two league games and seem keen to correct that in Cambridgeshire today.

It's a brisk walk from the promenade to the Mazuma Stadium so it's not a surprise that the wind and rain are affecting conditions here.

But there is a good crowd in and a large visiting contingent who have travelled up the M6 from Stockport.

They'll want three points on a day like this!

Under way at SJP in the battle of two sides desperate for a win.

Just a word for Vale midfielder Jason Lowe who is making his 400th career start today - the vast majority of them coming for Blackburn and latterly Salford, of course.

Quite a milestone for the 32-year-old.

The rain is still lashing down, but we are ready to go in 18 matches.

As managers will be saying up and down the country, 'Play the conditions, lads!'

With Christmas looming into view, we are close to the halfway mark in the league campaign.

• Swindon have roused themselves after a shocking run of six defeats in eight, including that astonishing 7-4 home FA Cup defeat by non-league Aldershot. They will make it three wins on the bounce if they triumph at Wimbledon, who have won their last five at home.
• Tranmere’s home form is keeping them out of the bottom two so they will be desperate for another three points as Newport, who have won their last two, arrive at Prenton Park.
• Doncaster will be calling on memories of their FA Cup replay win at Accrington last month as they face a return journey to take on a team which has lost four of its last five.
• Matthew Etherington takes his relegation-haunted Colchester side to face old club Crawley, with the Us failing to beat the Red Devils in their last nine league meetings.

In the early days of August and September, Notts County appeared set to romp through League Two in the manner they had played in the National League last season, scoring lots of goals and getting plaudits for their football.

But they have lost five of their last 11 in the league and have slipped to sixth place. They are still scoring plenty, but Luke Williams' side can ship goals, too.

But in opponents Walsall, the Magpies are up against a side desperately short of form.

The Saddlers have won none of their last six in the league and scraped a 0-0 draw at non-league Alfreton in the FA Cup in midweek.

Notts will want to take advantage of those woes and other postponements to bolster their promotion credentials.

There was a real desire to get this game on in Cleethorpes after the pitch survived three inspections!

It is a first home game for new Grimsby boss David Artell, who began his reign with a decent 1-1 draw at MK Dons.

Now Artell comes up against his previous club Crewe, where he managed for over five years and led them to promotion out of this division in 2020.

The Railwaymen are enjoying a very good first half of this campaign, as they sit fifth with just three defeats so far.

Victory today at Blundell Park and Crewe will jump into the automatic promotion spots.

After 12 straight League Two victories, any game without one can feel like a shock. That is the situation for leaders Stockport after they reeled off win after win.

Defeat at Newport was followed by a home draw with Salford, then a 2-2 draw at non-league Aldershot in the FA Cup and defeat to Wigan in the EFL Trophy.

Hardly a crisis, but the Hatters won't want four to turn to five and so on. Key midfielder Antoni Sarcevic is fit again and his presence will be keenly felt.

Morecambe have lost their last four and have slipped into mid-table, but they did have an encouraging win at Wycombe in the FA Cup for new boss Ged Brannan.

Taking Stockport's scalp would be a fine way to prove he can take the Shrimps forward after Derek Adams' departure to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.
