    GOAL: Shrewsbury 1-2 Peterboroughpublished at 16:37 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Hector Kyprianou (77 mins)

    They've turned it around!

    Hector Kyprianou is on hand to tap home David Ajiboye's cross to hand Darren Ferguson's side the lead for the first time, having trailed not too long ago.

    A comeback that Sir Alex Ferguson-era Manchester United would be proud of.

    GOAL: Barnsley 2-1 Stevenagepublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Herbie Kane (70 mins)

    The hosts have come from behind to lead.

    A bit of fortune as Herbie Kane lines up a shot from distance, which takes a huge deflection and ends up past Taye Ashby-Hammond.

    Stevenage's unbeaten run under Steve Evans, stretching 13 games, is under major threat now.

    GOAL - Sutton 0-2 Mansfieldpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Lucas Akins (75 mins)

    A thunderous finish from Lucas Akins looks to have settled matters.

    George Maris slips a sweet pass into his path and Akins' first-time effort with his left foot flashes into the roof of the net off the underside of the bar.

    Emphatic.

    Barnsley 1-1 Stevenage

    Tempers are heating up at Oakwell as Luca Connell is booked for a challenge on Jordan Roberts.

    Stevenage players react and Dan Butler is also booked for his part in the ensuing pushing and shoving.

    Sir Alex Ferguson is in the crowd at Shrewsbury, sitting alongside Barry Fry in the stands and he's just seen his son Darren's side Peterborough get back on level terms in Shropshire.

    Ricky Jade-Jones (64 mins)

    Shrewsbury's lead didn't last long - six minutes to be exact.

    Ricky Jade-Jones' first-time finish has Peterborough back on level terms and they will now be eyeing a comeback win.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Portsmouth 1-1 Fleetwoodpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Josh Earl (63 mins)

    Josh Earl fires Fleetwood level and it's joy for those 94 travelling supporters!

    You're always vulnerable when it's only 1-0 and that is what has happened to Portsmouth.

    GOAL: Bolton 3-2 Leyton Orientpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Theo Archibald (60 mins)

    Hello, hello, hello - Theo Archibald makes it 3-2 and suddenly Orient are back in it at Bolton.

    Wanderers were 3-0 up after 10 minutes, remember.

  10. goal

    GOAL - Wrexham 1-0 Newportpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    James Jones (63 mins)

    Finally a goal!

    A throw-in from Ben Tozer causes a scramble in the County box and, in the thick of the chaos, James Jones calmly slots it in to put the home side in front.

    It's right in front of the new temporary Kop stand too!

    That moment was 16 years in the making for the Dragons fans in there.

  11. Postpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Carlisle 0-1 Cheltenham

    A triple roll of the dice from Carlisle boss Paul Simpson just past the hour mark.

    The Brunton Park natives will be getting restless if they cannot find a goal before the end of play.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Wrexham 0-0 Newport

    Wrexham rattle the post.

    Top scorer Elliot Lee, who has bagged two goals in his past three games, sees his shot strike the foot of the upright, bounce back on to the back of County keeper Nick Townsend, and go behind.

    Corner comes to nothing.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Shrewsbury 1-0 Peterboroughpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Jordan Shipley (58 mins)

    Second-placed Peterborough have won four of their past five games but they have fallen behind just before the hour at Shrewsbury.

    Jordan Shipley is the man on target.

    This result would of course be more good news for leaders Portsmouth, who could stretch their lead at the top if they hold on for a win against Fleetwood.

  14. League One latestpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Jake Beesley has restored Blackpool’s lead over Bristol Rovers and out-of-form Wycombe have taken the lead against Port Vale through Kieran Sadlier. Can the Chairboys hold on for a first win in 10?

    Kieron Bowie’s header has put Northampton in front against playoff-chasing Oxford.

    Portsmouth 1-0 Fleetwood

    Chance for Colby Bishop to make it two... but he shoots over!

    No prizes for guessing who set him up - Abu Kamara!

    Carlisle 0-1 Cheltenham

    Curtis Davies in action for CheltenhamImage source, Rex Features

    Veteran centre-back Curtis Davies went down early in this half for Cheltenham, and he's not been able to shrug it off.

    Tom Bradbury is on in his place, but the Robins may miss Davies' experience as the half ticks on.

  17. goal

    GOAL - Reading 2-0 Wiganpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Sam Smith (50 mins)

    Another very nicely crafted goal for the Royals, who seem determined to end a horrid 2023 on a high.

    Amadou Mbengue's wicked cross is volleyed in by Sam Smith from six yards into the corner.

    The home fans have had precious little to cheer this season but they have something today (so far).

    Stevenage on the front foot at Oakwell where Jamie Reid nods one down for Kane Hemmings, but he can only volley over.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2023

    Wrexham 0-0 Newport

    Wrexham aren't happy as Jacob Mendy sends a header just wide with the hosts' first attack of the second half.

    The Dragons' players are sure Paul Mullin is dragged down in the box as the ball came towards Mendy.

    Referee Lee Doughty waves the protests away.

    Portsmouth 1-0 Fleetwood

    BBC Final Score at Fratton Park

    The humbugs were passed around the press box at half-time.

    Probably more appropriate for how those 94 Fleetwood fans are feeling as they are 1-0 down at Fratton Park and have sunk to the bottom of League One as it stands.

    Fair play to them, though, for the monster trek down to the south coast so close to Christmas.
