  1. 'Too easy for Preston'

    Coventry 2-1 Preston

    Steve Ogrizovic
    Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR

    It's too easy for Preston. Players shouldn't be able to get shots away like this.

    We can't afford to be sloppy at the back again or else we'll be throwing these points away.

  2. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 4-1 Stoke

    Junior Tchamadeu (og - 78 mins)

    Game well and truly over now.

    Kellen Fisher plays the ball across to fellow full-back Lucien Mahovo who has a go at goal.

    His shot takes a huge deflection off Stoke's Junior Tchamadeu.

    The Canaries on course for a first win in four as they close the gap on the top six.

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Portsmouth 2-1 QPR

    Portsmouth make a double change.

    Christian Saydee and Cohen Bramall come on for Adil Aouchiche and Matt Ritchie.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    West Brom 1-0 Oxford

    Przemyslaw Placheta makes way for Sirike Dembele as Gary Rowett tries another throw of the dice.

    Tony Mowbray responds for the hosts with three changes of his own - Isaac Price, Tom Fellows and Adam Armstrong off for John Swift, Grady Diangana and Will Lankshear.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Coventry 2-1 Preston

    Will Keane (82 mins)

    Oh, hang on now!

    Coventry have had plenty of chances to put this one to bed and maybe, maybe they're going to be made to pay for not taking them.

    Will Keane, not long on as a sub, scores his third of the season with a finish from Brad Potts' cross.

  6. Coventry 2-0 Preston

    Steve Ogrizovic clearly a difficult man to please.

    The Sky Blues are firmly on top in this one and easing towards a seventh win in eight Championship games.

  7. 'Coventry lacking something'

    Coventry 2-0 Preston

    Steve Ogrizovic
    Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR

    I'm still wondering how we aren't 3-0 up, especially after some of our recent chances.

    We seem to be lacking something going forward.

  8. Swansea 3-0 Blackburn

    Tough day for Blackburn and caretaker David Lowe.

    Prior to today they hadn't conceded three in a game since a 3-0 defeat at Coventry on 1 October.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Portsmouth 2-1 QPR

    Jimmy Dunne ( 74 mins)

    Well that changes everything!

    With 15 minutes to go QPR have a goal back through Jimmy Dunne.

    It is a really well taken finish as he lifts the ball over the outrushing Nicolas Schmid.

    Game on!

  10. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 3-1 Stoke

    Josh Sargent (71 mins)

    Stunning goal. Game over?

    Borja Sainz feeds Josh Sargent who drives towards the box, cuts on to his left foot and sends a long-range piledriver into the top corner.

    That's a seventh goal in six.

  11. CLOSE!

    Portsmouth 2-0 QPR

    A decent chance for QPR and almost an instant impact by the substitutes.

    Yang Min-hyeok slips a pass in to Alfie Lloyd who shoots just wide.

  12. SUBSTITUTION

    Portsmouth 2-0 QPR

    Some QPR changes to run through as they make a triple change.

    Sam Field, Paul Smyth and Michael Frey come off for Jack Colback, Alfie Lloyd and Yang Min-hyeok.

  13. CLOSE!

    West Brom 1-0 Oxford

    Almost a second for West Brom and Alex Mowatt!

    The Baggies midfielder sees his long-range strike saved at full stretch by Oxford keeper Jamie Cumming.

    The home fans will want this done and dusted sooner rather than later.

  14. Coventry 2-0 Preston

    Experienced forward Jamie Paterson is on for his Coventry debut.

    The hometown boy joined the Sky Blues last week after a spell in MLS with Charlotte FC.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Norwich 2-1 Stoke

    Stoke make a double change as Ali Al-Hamadi and Ben Pearson are replaced by Lewis Koumas and Million Manhoef.

    There's concern among the home fans as goalscorer Josh Sargent is down receiving treatment. He's been on fire after returning from long-term injury.

    Sigh of relief as he's up and continues.

  16. Swansea 3-0 Blackburn

    Not a phrase I thought I'd be saying today... Swansea nearly have a fourth.

    Ben Cabango heads over the bar after Josh Tymon's shot was turned around for a corner by Aynsley Pears in the Rovers goal.

    A really tough afternoon for Blackburn interim boss David Lowe.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONS

    West Brom 1-0 Oxford

    West Brom have had 16 attempts on the Oxford goal, three in the second half so far, but their lead remains a slim one.

    Oxford boss Gary Rowett decides to act and it's a double change.

    Will Vaulks and Stan Mills are on for Alex Matos and Matt Phillips.

  18. SUBSTITUTION

    Coventry 2-0 Preston

    The away side are having a tough day today and now Aston Villa loanee Kaine Kesler-Hayden is forced off with a knock.

    Robbie Brady is on his stead.

    Long way back for them in this against a Coventry side who are on for a seventh win in eight league games.

  19. CLOSE!

    Portsmouth 2-0 QPR

    Portsmouth are sensing more goals here.

    They combine nicely around the box before the ball falls to Andre Dozzell whose shot flies over the bar from about five yards out.

  20. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Portsmouth 2-0 QPR

    Portsmouth have the ball in the net and start to celebrate but the referee blows for a foul by Colby Bishop.

    QPR straight away try to get something going on the counter attack but the referee pulls the play back, it remains 2-0 to Portsmouth.
