  1. 'Should've been four'published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Cheltenham 0-3 Wycombe

    Mark Halliwell
    BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser

    Will Ferry was caught way out of position, there.

    Garath McCleary suddenly had loads of space to run into and it was great play from Sam Vokes.

    Probably should've been goal number four.

    Mansfield 1-0 Notts County

    He had a lively presence in the first half and Notts' David McGoldrick has started this second period where he left off.

    A fantastic driving run from the 36-year-old striker ends with a shot at the near post, which Mansfield's Christy Pym dives down low to block.

    The goals keep coming in the third tier.

    Lyle Taylor's second of the game has put Cambridge 2-1 ahead at Shrewsbury and Wycombe have surely secured the three points away at Cheltenham.

    Curtis Davies' own goal has put the Chairboys 3-0 up.

    The big news is at the bottom, where Forest Green - winless in 13 games - lead 2-0 away at Colchester.

    Leaders Stockport went behind against Harrogate, but squared things up not long after.

    Wrexham have halved their deficit away at Salford, but still trail 2-1.

    Gerard Garner's strike has brought Morecambe level at Crawley.

    Elsewhere, it's goalless at Tranmere, Bradford, Gillingham and Accrington.

    Time to find the shooting boots in the second half, lads!

    Portsmouth celebrate a goal against NorthamptonImage source, Rex Features

    A two-goal lead for Portsmouth at home to Northampton and their main challengers are faltering. Bolton are behind at home to Barnsley and Peterborough are losing to Wigan.

    Derby are set to replace the Trotters in the automatic promotion spots, they lead at Charlton.

    Fleetwood are set to move off the bottom if they can hold on to their lead at home to Port Vale, with Carlisle, trailing 2-1 at Leyton Orient after taking the lead, slipping to the foot of League One.

    The home struggles continue for Exeter at home to Bristol Rovers.

    Shrewsbury and Cambridge go in at 1-1 at the break, while Burton v Lincoln is goalless, though the visitors are down to 10 men.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Mansfield 1-0 Notts County

    A terrific finish from Davis Keillor-Dunn, who curled the ball into the top corner, is the only goal at Field Mill so far.

    But Notts County have hit the woodwork twice and are unlucky not to be at least level.

    Mansfield fans will be looking closely at the Wrexham scoreline, to see if they can stay in second place in the League Two table, or if Phil Parkinson's side come back into the match at Salford.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Stevenage 0-0 Blackpool

    There have been 16 attempts on goal in the first half, but we've drawn a blank.

    Blackpool have perhaps edged it on threat, but Stevenage top scorer Jamie Read went closest, forcing Daniel Grimshaw into a point-blank save.

    Stevenage are still yet to score a goal against Blackpool in their fourth meeting.

  8. 'Barnsley showing good signs'published at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    HT: Bolton 0-1 Barnsley

    Adie Moses
    Ex-Barnsley defender on BBC Radio Sheffield

    I think Barnsley have done well so far despite some gaps in the defence.

    It seems there are players in the back line which haven't had time to gel on the training ground.

    However, things have got better and they are showing some good signs.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Sutton 0-0 Doncaster

    Doncaster have been on top for large spells of this opening half, but ultimately a much-improved Sutton side have kept themselves in the game.

    Billy Waters has been thwarted twice by blocks from the hosts' defence.

    Arguably, a point isn't enough for Sutton, so how much will they go for it in the second half?

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Bolton 0-1 Barnsley

    It's been a terrific, open half of footie and it's Barnsley have a precious lead.

    Bolton have carved out a string of chances after Devante Cole's early opener, but the Tykes missed a gilt-edged chance to double their lead.

    Bolton need to up the ante if they're to keep pace with leaders Pompey.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Cheltenham 0-2 Wycombe

    Wycombe have taken a grip on this six-pointer at the foot of League One.

    The hosts started well, but two quick goals from Jack Grimmer and Garath McCleary have given the Chairboys the advantage.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Barrow 0-0 MK Dons

    A first 45 minutes of few clear chances at Holker Street.

    Barrow's Kian Spence had one of the best of them just before the half-time whistle, with a strike that drifted narrowly wide.

    Their goalkeeper Paul Farman has made a couple of smart saves to prevent MK Dons from taking the lead.

  13. Postpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Cheltenham 0-2 Wycombe

    A golden chance for the hosts to halve the deficit.

    Elliot Bonds' low cross just needed a touch from Aidan Keena, but he can't wrap his boot around it and it bobbles into keeper Max Stryjek's hands.

  14. Postpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Barrow 0-0 MK Dons

    Barrow midfielder Kian Spence has flashed a shot just wide of the post.

    Just three efforts on target in this match so far, but Barrow and Notts County are on track to maintain their play-off positions of fourth and sixth respectively as things stand.

    Former Luton and Southampton boss Nathan Jones has reportedly been sighted watching Charlton this afternoon, potentially ahead of being appointed the new man in charge at The Valley.

    He won't be smiling much at the moment though, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has given Derby the lead in South London.

    Not far across the capital, Shaq Forde has levelled up for Leyton Orient at home to Carlisle, 1-1 now.

  16. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Sutton 0-0 Doncaster

    Sutton are hanging on a little here.

    Defender Ben Goodliffe has made a great block to prevent Doncaster's Billy Waters from giving the away side the lead after he pounced on a flick from Richard Wood.

  17. Postpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Mansfield 1-0 Notts County

    Such is the way that things can change quickly, Notts County are now back into the play-off places as a result of Stockport's 1-1 equaliser at home to Harrogate.

    Meanwhile, at Field Mill, Mansfield are back in the hunt for a second goal.

    Ollie Clarke has fired the ball over after fellow midfielder George Maris neatly squared it to him on the edge of the area.

  18. 'Mansfield haven't deserved more'published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Mansfield 1-0 Notts County

    Andy White
    Ex-Mansfield striker on BBC Radio Nottingham

    If we can go into half time at 1-0 Nigel Clough will be happy.

    We'd obviously like 2-0 but I don't think Mansfield have deserved more.

    The players just need to take their medicine, get in at half time, and regroup.

  19. Postpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2024

    Stevenage 0-0 Blackpool

    Stevenage have played 10 minutes with 10 men while skipper Carl Piergianni received treatment for a head injury.

    He heads down the tunnel as the blood flows from his nose. But he's back on the pitch and Boro are back to full strength,

    Blackpool have had the greater share of chances on target, but the hosts go close again as Jamie Reid heads wide. Surely he'll bag one of these chances.

    Ah, the response of a side at the top of the table. Connor Lemonheigh-Evans has swept in an equaliser for Stockport at home to Harrogate.

    The leaders behind for just over 10 minutes.
