    GOAL: Mansfield 2-1 Salfordpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Baily Cargill 45+9 mins

    Hope you didn't go and join the half-time snack queue at Field Mill!

    Baily Cargill makes the most of a scrappy scene in the six-yard box and turns home Davis Keillor-Dunn's corner to give the hosts a deserved advantage at half time.

    That one can definitely be filed under the category "they all count", but Mansfield won't care.

    HT: Barnsley 1-1 Derby

    Eric Steele
    Former Derby and Man Utd goalkeeper on BBC Radio Derby

    It's been scrappy and scruffy - which is League One football.

    Derby had no quality since their goal. They have to get more quality, they are better than this on the ball and I'm sure that's what the coaching staff will be saying.

    Nothing to separate the league leaders and the relegation strugglers at the break.

    Each team has hit the woodwork, with chances at both ends. Who can grab that all-important goal?

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Barnsley 1-1 Derby

    We expected a close game between two promotion contenders and it has not let us down.

    Sonny Bradley's header put the Rams in front, but Adam Phillips' piledriver means we are level heading into half-time.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Notts County 0-2 Crewe

    Crewe are yet to lose away in 2024 and that certainly doesn't look like changing today.

    Goals from Mickey Demetriou and Elliott Nevitt have put the Railwaymen on course for the top three by the end of the day as it stands.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Sutton 1-1 Colchester

    Two late goals in November saw this fixture end 1-1 and we've reached that score at the half way point this time around.

    Cameron McGeehan's opener for the visitors was cancelled out by Charlie Lakin. A big 45 coming up for the hosts.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Blackpool 2-1 Bolton

    And breathe...

    Three goals, lots of chances, busy goalkeepers and Blackpool in front.

    Jake Beesley and Marvin Ekipeteta have turned it round after George Thomason's early goal for Bolton.

    Expect more when we return for the second half!

    Notts County 0-2 Crewe

    Only Wrexham have scored more goals at home than Notts County this season, and they nearly add another to the tally.

    Top scorer Macauley Langstaff finds himself free inside the six-yard box, but it's a fine stop from Harvey Davies to keep him out.

    An important block as half-time approaches.

  9. Postpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Blackpool 2-1 Bolton

    More chances at Bloomfield Road.

    Joel Coleman keeps the deficit down to one as he makes a good save to stop Shayne Lavery.

    Then straight up the other end, Dan Grimshaw keeps Blackpool in front with a fine stop to keep out Carlos Mendes Gomes' goalbound flick.

    Junior Luamba (42 mins)

    What a way to get back on level terms. Take a bow, Junior Luamba!

    A first goal for Salford comes in scintillating fashion as the forward picks up the ball on the halfway line and drives down the left hand side, before cutting in and unleashing an unstoppable effort past Christy Pym.

    Stockport fans rejoice, your side are back on top of League Two.

    Charlton 0-0 Portsmouth

    No goals in this one, but we don't know how.

    Big chance for Charlton and it falls to the man they would want in Alfie May, as he capitalises on a lapse in the Pompey defence, but he puts it over.

  12. Postpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Sutton 1-1 Colchester

    The bottom side were up against it for most of this one, but since that equaliser they've started to believe again.

    Ben Goodliffe rises highest to meet a cross, but steers his header just wide of the Colchester upright.

  13. Postpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Blackpool 2-1 Bolton

    What is going on? 10 minutes and no goals?!

    Carlos Mendes Gomes tries to do something about that as he lets fly from the angle of the box and his effort whistles just over the bar.

    A real ding-dong game, this one.

  14. 'The level of disappointment is palpable'published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Notts County 0-2 Crewe

    Mark Stallard
    Former Notts County striker on BBC Radio Nottingham

    The level of disappointment in the Notts fans is palpable. Crewe have been by far the better team, Notts a million ways off it.

    The only avenues Notts are having at the minutes are to give the ball to Jodi Jones and hope for a bit of magic.

  15. League Two latestpublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    MK Dons are hogging the goals in the fourth tier.

    Mike Williamson's side have a great home record and are flying against Newport after Alex Gilbey's goal makes it 3-0.

  16. League One latestpublished at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Bottom side Carlisle can’t keep their lead until the break as Chris Martin grabs his 14th league goal of the season to equalise for Bristol Rovers.

    Carl Piergianni has put Stevenage a goal up at home to Wycombe.

    GOAL: Barnsley 1-1 Derbypublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Adam Phillips (33 mins)

    Adam Phillips brings the hosts level with a cracking strike.

    The ball is cleared to the midfielder just outside the box, he takes it on his chest and unleashes a powerful drive that flies past Joe Wildsmith into the net.

    Oakwell erupts!

    A busy afternoon!

    Notts County 0-2 Crewe

    Mickey Demetriou is playing his part at both ends of the pitch this afternoon.

    Having opened the scoring earlier, the defender puts in a big block to prevent County getting back into this one.

  20. Postpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Mansfield 1-0 Salford

    This one is all about the hosts right now. Louis Reed forces a superb save from Alex Cairns in the visiting goal after neat work from goalscorer Will Swan and Davis Keillor-Dunn.

    The latter finds Lucas Akins in the box moments later, but the shot flies high of Cairns' crossbar.
