  1. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:23 GMT 17 January

    Chesterfield 0-0 Bromley

    We're into five minutes of stoppage time and Chesterfield almost respond with the winner from a fizzing effort from sub Pearce.

    Bromley keep it out somehow.

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:23 GMT 17 January

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    SEVEN added minutes for Cardiff to endure.

    Bradford are pushing them further and further back and are no stranger to late drama at Valley Parade.

    Valley Parade is baying for an equaliser.

    Josh Sheehan's cool late finish earns Bolton Wanderers a much-deserved derby victory at Wigan Athletic.

    It's a heck of a way for Bolton to finally land their first win of 2026.

  5. PENALTY SAVEpublished at 14:20 GMT 17 January

    Chesterfield 0-0 Bromley

    Zach Hemming is the hero for Chesterfield as he guesses right and is at full stretch to his left to keep out Nicke Kabamba's penalty.

    Kevin Ratcliffe
    Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Wales

    Two v one in Cardiff's favour.

    That is a tackle from behind with no intention to play the ball.

    That is a straight red for me.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:20 GMT 17 January

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Another shot from Stephen Humphreys, after a good run down the Bantams right and a dart back into the box, but another good block in the goalmouth, this time from Will Fish.

    Bantams debutant Joe White has gone into the book for bringing down Cian Ashford on the break on halfway.

    A lot of green space ahead of him, the visitors want a red card for denial of a scoring opportunity, but David Rock thinks otherwise.

    GOAL: Tranmere 1-3 Walsallpublished at 14:20 GMT 17 January

    Joe Ironside (90 mins)

    Joe Ironside nods home to pull one back for Tranmere.

    Consolation stuff. Eight minutes of stoppage-time to come.

  9. Postpublished at 14:19 GMT 17 January

    Wigan 0-1 Bolton

    The fourth official holds up his board to indicate that there will be four minutes of stoppage time at The Brick Community Stadium.

    Bolton don't have long to hold on to see out this hugely important win.

  10. PENALTYpublished at 14:18 GMT 17 January

    Chesterfield 0-0 Bromley

    A chance for Bromley to win it!

    Handball from Dylan Duffy.

    Wigan 0-1 Bolton

    It really should be game over now.

    John McAtee links up with Amario Cozier-Duberry in the box, but the Brighton loanee sends his fierce low shot narrowly wide.

    Just two minutes of the 90 remains. Will derby-day deliver Bolton their first win of 2026?

    The bounce is so indifferent, it is not easy if the ball bounces just before you on this pitch.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:17 GMT 17 January

    Tranmere 0-3 Walsall

    Veteran forward Albert Adomah comes on for his 23rd sub appearance of the season for Walsall, replacing goalscorer Daniel Kanu.

    One more goal for Walsall and they'll draw level on goal difference and points with second-placed Swindon. The Robins would stay ahead on goals scored.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:16 GMT 17 January

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Striker Yousef Salech is heading off for the Bluebirds with defender Will Fish sent on for the final six minutes and stoppage-time.

    Which says it all, really...

    A very quiet 24th birthday for Salech, on the one year anniversary of him signing for Cardiff.

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Gary Jones
    Former Bradford City captain on BBC Radio Leeds

    Brilliant from the two new loanees from Newcastle who have both done well since coming on.

    Causing problems down the right hand side. Needed a better finish from Sibley.

  16. Postpublished at 14:15 GMT 17 January

    Wigan 0-1 Bolton

    Bolton want another goal to put the result beyond doubt.

    Josh Sheehan almost helps carve out a second, with his in-swinging corner finding Sam Dalby. The striker, however, can only flash his header wide.

  17. Postpublished at 14:14 GMT 17 January

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Cardiff dropping deeper and deeper and a looping ball into the box bounces to Louie Sibley at the far post who can only snatch at a left-foot volley which skews a yard wide of the near post.

    Chesterfield 0-0 Bromley

    Substitute Brooklyn Ilunga gives Bromley a little spark as he weaves into the Chesterfield box, but doesn't connect with the shot and it's a simple stop.

    At the other end, Sil Swinkels swivels as a corner drops to him in the box but he shoots wide of the left post.

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Stephen Humphreys drops a shoulder to work space to get an 18-yard shot off for Bradford but Gabriel Osho throws himself in the way to get in a fine block and prevent the low effort testing Nathan Trott.

    Bradford 1-2 Cardiff

    Ryan Wintle goes down on his haunches accusing Jenson Metcalfe of raising an arm to his face as he tries to close him down.

    David Rock has a word but keeps his cards in his pocket this time. Wintle has to go off for treatment and is desperate to get back into the action as the official makes him wait the required time.
