  1. League One latestpublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    #bbcefl

    We are set for some tense moments in the League One relegation battle as three teams are level on points at the bottom of the table.

    Cheltenham goalkeeper Luke Southwood has kept it that way by saving a penalty and preventing Wycombe from scoring.

    His side are inside the bottom four on goal difference, with Charlton - who are above them - losing at Derby.

    In turn, Port Vale have a lower goal difference than Cheltenham, despite leading 2-0 against Fleetwood.

    Carlisle still have an heroic 1-0 lead at Burton, but even with victory they would still be eleven points from safety.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Wigan 0-0 Bolton

    If Wigan go in level at the break, they'll owe a vote of thanks to goalkeeper Sam Tickle.

    He's just flung himself to his right to push Eoin Toal's 30-yard drive around the post after the Latics struggled to clear their lines.

    Traffic may have delayed us but it was Bolton who started quickest.

    Paris Maghoma has had the best chance through on goal but a narrow angle, with his effort smothered by Sam Tickle.

    The away end is packed, Wigan fans have their drum going. It’ll be a later finish than planned, but the energy with both sets of fans is undiminished in this Lancashire derby.

    Bad news for Bolton, forward Carlos Mendes Gomes has been stretchered off. It looked like he strained something under no pressure at all.

    Wrexham are yet to lose a league game on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday this season, winning four of seven such matches.

    Forest Green are in relatively sparking form, though. If they win this, two of their seven league victories will have come in the space of 11 days.

    • As it stands, Port Vale are only inside the relegation zone on goal difference as they lead Fleetwood 2-0.
    • Stevenage are currently set to move into the play-off places as they are 1-0 up against Cambridge.
    • Third-placed Bolton are still playing in their later kick-off at Wigan, where it is 0-0.

    Wigan 0-0 Bolton

    Still no goals in this delayed kick-off at the DW Stadium, but Bolton substitute Aaron Collins almost made an immediate impact.

    Collins seemed to be in for a scoring opportunity, but Latics centre-back Charlie Goode arrived to take the ball off him in the nick of time.

    Eoin Toal has also gone close for Wanderers, arriving at the far post to head Nathanael Ogbeta's cross over the bar.

  8. 'When you've been on a bad run, it's somewhere the buck stops'published at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    HT: Port Vale 2-0 Fleetwood

    Phil Sproson
    Former Port Vale captain on BBC Radio Stoke

    It’s been a really good first half for Port Vale. Fleetwood have shown quality in midfield - especially with Danny Mayor and Bosun Lawal. It’s a bit of a danger that one goal could swing things but so far a very good first half.

    Vale did look like a confident side. That comes from the back line, it’s fluid. Alex Iacovitti and Kacper Lopata - they are both aggressive defenders and that gives the midfielders confidence that they aren’t going to dilly-dally on the ball. That breeds confidence that players will go forward. The back door is solid, they are being ruthless. It would take a grizzly bear to take Iacovitti off the ball.

    Confidence is a shocking thing. When you've been on a bad run like Vale have, it's somewhere that the buck stops and the manager has got to find resources. Maybe Darren Moore has chosen the right team tonight.

  9. 'That last shot, that last pass - it's just not there'published at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    HT: Salford 1-0 Colchester

    David Gregory
    Ex-Colchester midfielder on BBC Essex

    Colchester should be ahead. Plenty of positives when it came to going forward. It's just that last shot, that last pass - it's just not there.

    Salford were so on top of things and they gradually got a foothold in it.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Salford City 1-0 Colchester United

    Karl Robinson's side lead at the break at the Salford Community Stadium, where Colchester had shaded the balance of chances before the prolific Matt Smith struck.

    Danny Cowley's side could really do with at least a point here. As it stands, they'll be an alarm-bell-sounding two points above second-bottom Forest Green by the end of the night.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Port Vale 2-0 Fleetwood

    So far, so good for Vale - although Fleetwood have had their moments, the goals for column is always the most important statistic.

    Darren Moore's side have two of them, with Ethan Chislett's spot-kick following up the opener from Jensen Weir, and they're looking good to register a first victory in 10 games.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Walsall 0-0 Accrington Stanley

    Level at the Bescot Stadium, where Walsall have had the only attempt on target.

    A point would leave them two points behind seventh-placed Gillingham, but the tantalising reward of a place in the play-off spots awaits if they can win this.

    Accrington have rued missed chances recently. They need to find their range if they're to revive their own hopes of extending their season.

    An early blow for Bolton - remember they've only been playing for around a quarter of the game - as Carlos Gomes goes down and has to be stretchered off, with Aaron Collins replacing him.

    Wanderers had looked the more likely of the sides to open the scoring, with Josh Sheehan firing over from distance and Paris Maghoma denied by Luke Chambers' timely challenge.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Forest Green Rovers 1-0 Wrexham

    Forest Green lead at the break!

    This will be some scalp if they can bridge the 19-place gap between these teams, Emmanuel Osadebe's glorious long-range strike in the third minute making the difference so far.

    Wrexham will feel confident of turning this around, though - and they've had more than 75% of possession.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Derby 1-0 Charlton

    Just Eiran Cashin's goal to show for it at the break, but Derby have been well on top for most of this first 45 minutes.

    As it stands, Paul Warne's side will be holding on to second place tonight - and Charlton will be hovering ever more precariously just above the bottom four.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Salford City 1-0 Colchester Unitedpublished at 20:34 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Matt Smith (45 mins)

    Matt Smith has his 22nd goal of the season!

    Callum Morton escapes down the left, closes in on the penalty area and rolls a low pass across the face of goal to the unmarked, who'd have some job to miss from that range with no-one challenging him.

    Colchester's good work in the first half scuppered by an ultra-generous approach to marking.

  17. League Two latestpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    #bbcefl

    A fantastic, calm finish from Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has put Swindon 2-1 up at home to Tranmere in a game which has now seen three goals scored in 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, it's still 2-2 at Meadow Lane between Notts County and bottom side Sutton United, but the home side are piling on the pressure.

    Leading twice in tonight's game, but conceding shortly afterwards will be a familiar story for Sutton fans.

    Their last win was on Boxing Day, but they have had six score draws so far this year.

  18. 'All it needs is a little bit of clinical touch'published at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    Walsall 0-0 Accrington

    Jamie Jellis
    Walsall midfielder on Radio WM

    All it needs is that little bit of clinical touch and Walsall could be one or two up.

    They’ve got a really defensive shape, Accrington are struggling to break it down.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Port Vale 2-0 Fleetwoodpublished at 20:30 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February

    (Ethan Chislett pen 43 mins)

    Good timing for Port Vale to double their lead, with the interval fast approaching.

    Ethan Chislett was fouled in the penalty area and stepped up to convert the spot-kick, his sixth goal of the season.

    Mind you, Fleetwood could have been level just before that, with Connor Ripley pulling off a great stop to thwart Promise Omochere.

    Deadlock broken!

    Persistent Rams pressure finally tells as they win a corner and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing clips the ball to the near post, where Eiran Cashin arrives to head it emphatically into the net.

    It's a third goal of the campaign for the young defender and just what the Derby faithful were looking for before half-time.
