Doncaster 0-3 Stockport
Image source, Rex Features
Serious start from the League Two leaders who had made three changes for this game.
Macauley Southam-Hales returned from injury to start, Nick Powell and Paddy Madden also came in and all three were involved in the two goals inside 10 minutes.
A Madden header from a corner and an own goal, but it is playmaker Connor Lemonheigh-Evans who is running the show so far and he got the third.
And it could be four or more...

HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January
Port Vale 0-0 Portsmouth
Pompey slipping to second as it stands.
Not much doing in terms of clear-cut chances in this.
Feels like one goal will be enough for either side.

Sunderland 1-0 Stoke
Gary Bennett
Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle
The first goal was always going to be really important.
Despite Stoke having opportunities and looking a threat, Sunderland have the lead.
We really have to make sure we're switched on in the second half.

Lincoln 0-0 Peterborough
Just one shot all half from free-scoring Peterborough. We don't often say that.
Things are a bit scrappy at the LNER Stadium (Sincil Bank to most of us).

A couple of quick goals at Blundell Park as Doug Tharme has levelled things up for Grimsby against Tranmere after Rob Apter put Rovers ahead.
And the man on loan from Huddersfield, Aaron Rowe has just equalised with a great strike for Crewe against Salford. 1-1 in that one.

Carlisle 0-2 Bolton
Chris Lumsdon
Former Carlisle midfielder on BBC Radio Cumbria
A little lapse has seen Carlisle punished again.
It's not that they've been off it because they've had a game plan.
However, the second goal was a sucker punch.

Port Vale 0-0 Portsmouth
The home side are forced into a change before the break as big striker Uche Ikpeazu is forced off with a shoulder injury.
Ryan Loft is on in his stead.
Still no quarter being given in this.

Carlisle 0-2 Bolton
Still early days of course, but if Bolton win and Portsmouth and Peterborough do not, then the Trotters will end the day top of League One.
They are well on the way to completing their part of the deal at Brunton Park.
