    Port Vale 0-0 Portsmouth

    Still no goals but both teams are showing their battling qualities.

    We've had six bookings so far.

  2. 'Amazing what a goal can do'published at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Derby 1-1 Cheltenham

    Adam Bolder
    Fomer Derby County midfielder

    Hopefully that will instill some confidence in the lads.

    It's amazing what a goal can do for an individual like Max Bird.

    Now, let's see what the substitutions will do for Derby.

    Carlisle 0-2 Bolton

    Carlisle are trying to get back into things, but Jordan Gibson has gone high with one effort and wide with another.

    You feel that they really need a goal quickly to set up a grandstand finish.

    Good start to the half for Blackpool as Karamoko Dembele has broken the deadlock against Charlton.

    Daniel Udoh has done the same for Shrewsbury at Northampton in Paul Hurst's first game back as Shrewsbury boss.

    And Oxford United have pulled a goal back against Bristol Rovers to make it 2-1.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Derby 1-1 Cheltenham

    Cheltenham almost restore their lead!

    Liam Sercombe is nearly celebrating again, but his volley is well kept out by Josh Vickers.

    Max Bird (60 mins)

    Big response from the hosts.

    Max Bird and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing work a free-kick and Bird finds a gap to beat Cheltenham goalkeeper Luke Southwood with a fine effort.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Doncaster 0-5 Stockportpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Tanto Olaofe (55 mins)

    Another one!

    Another close-range header, another assist from Connor 'the lemon' Evans, this one from Tanto Olaofe.

    This is just getting silly now.

    Billy Sharp was announced to be watching Doncaster Rovers today...a true goalscorer, he would be enjoying this...if the scoreline was the other way around-former Rovers striker of course.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Lincoln 0-0 Peterborough

    Jed Steer comes up with a big save to keep Peterborough level.

    The former Aston Villa man gets a powerful hand to Reeco Hackett's strike at the near post.

  9. Postpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Sunderland 2-0 Stoke

    Talk about goals changing games.

    The Potters were having the better of this before Sunderland took the lead just before the break.

    The home side then made it 2-0 in the opening minutes of the second period and they're in complete control now.

    Starman Jack Clarke threatens to get a third for the Black Cats but doesn't make the right connection with his shot.

  10. 'Can they get a second?'published at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Derby 0-1 Cheltenham

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    I was speaking to some of the home fans at half time.

    They said that Cheltenham are the only team to come to Derby and NOT play it out from the back.

    It was an interesting observation...but can they get a second goal?

  11. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Lincoln 0-0 Peterborough

    Better stuff from the visitors after the break as Harrison Burrows' curler is pushed away by Lukas Jensen.

    They are attacking the end housing their 2,000 travelling fans. Can they help to suck the ball into the net?

  12. Postpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Port Vale 0-0 Portsmouth

    The away side grew into this as the first half went on and Connor Ripley in the home goal is forced into action once more as Myles Peart-Harris keeps him honest.

  13. 'Brilliant awareness from Clarke'published at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Sunderland 2-0 Stoke

    Gary Bennett
    Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle

    Great finish, excellent.

    It was a quick break from the home side...

    ...and Jack Clarke showed brilliant awareness to get it to Ba.

    Liam Sercombe (50 mins)

    Derby's new year wobbles are continuing!

    Liam Sercombe tries his luck, it takes a huge deflection and wrong foots Rams goalkeeper Josh Vickers.

    This would be a huge win for Cheltenham - a lot of work for the home side to do now.

    GOAL: Doncaster 0-4 Stockportpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Paddy Madden (46 mins)

    Four half-time changes for Rovers, but it's 4-0 to County!

    Paddy Madden heads home from close range again, after just 25 seconds this time.

    Dave Challinor’s side have only been in action once since New Year’s Day due to a frozen pitch at Meadow Lane, and boy do they look refreshed.

  16. Postpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Carlisle 0-2 Bolton

    A double change at the break for the hosts, probably not much of a surprise.

    Jack Diamond is on for his debut after a loan switch from Sunderland as well as Jordan Gibson.

    It is a big task to turn this game around, though.

  17. Postpublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January

    Notts County 1-1 Barrow

    Former telephone engineer boss Stuart Maynard sees his side miss a massive chance just 10 seconds into the second half.

    Emmanuel Ebuka Osadebe puts a shot narrowly wide when he really should have done better.

    Dream start to the second half for the hosts!

    Abdoullah Ba doubles Sunderland's lead with his first goal since October.

    The 20-year-old Frenchman with a fine low finish after Jack Clarke had done all the leg work.

    We're back under way across the leagues.

    If you'd like to keep up with what's going on in the FA Cup, and the reaction to that incredible Maidstone win at Ipswich then you can do so here.

    Can't promise you we'll have anything quite that dramatic in the EFL today but you really never know!
