  1. SUBSTITUTION

    Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    Demarai Gray is coming on at the break for Blues (who are in red tonight), with Ibrahim Osman the man withdrawn.

  2. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Oxford United

    Ciaron Brown (44 mins)

    Well, well, well.

    They've created so very little but Oxford are level.

    The visitors win a corner and it breaks to Ciaron Brown who fires in the equaliser and his second goal of the season.

    Into one minute of stoppage time we go.

  3. 'Excellent 45 minutes'

    HT: Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    Steve Morison
    Former Millwall Striker on BBC London

    It's been an excellent 45 minutes for Millwall.

    Patterson made a great save to deny Stansfield, and what a response, it was some goal by Azeez which came out of nothing. The next goal, I think the keeper should have got more on it but Crama reacted well to it.

    There was a stonewall penalty that we didn't get, I was so convinced it was a penalty. Referees can make mistakes but I would like to know why he didn't give it.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Oxford United

    Lamine Cisse (36 mins)

    Not really a surprise.

    The chances have been stacking up for Stoke with Jamie Cumming saving from Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Lamine Cisse also being denied.

    But it's Cisse who has broken the deadlock as he slots past Cumming when played in by Million Manhoef.

  5. HALF-TIME

    Norwich 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Paris Maghoma celebrates scoringGetty Images

    It took them a while to get going but Norwich have seized the game by the scruff of the neck in the final 15 minutes of the half.

    Mathias Kvistgaarden, off the bench inside 10 minutes as Mo Toure limped off, had already seen a goal disallowed when he got the final touch after a mad scramble in the goalmouth on 31 minutes and eight minutes later Paris Maghoma spun and lashed home his first league goal for the Canaries, which looks like it might already have settled the outcome.

  6. Norwich 2-0 Sheff Wed

    City keeper Vlad Kovacevic makes rather a meal of claiming an Owls long throw at his near post but gathers the ball at the second attempt and then launches a humongous throw which bounces into the Owls half sending Mathias Kvistgaarden sprinting clear, only for Tayo Adaramola to superbly track back to dispossess him in the box at full pelt.

  7. HALF-TIME

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Coventry

    Sheffield United's Patrick Bamford looks disappointed after missing a chanceGetty Images

    Chances for both sides but no goals.

    Sheffield United dominated the opening stages with Andre Brooks hitting the side netting and Harrison Burrows having an effort saved.

    Patrick Bamford had the Blades best chance but shot straight at Carl Rushworth.

    Femi Seriki denied Haji Wright a certain goal for Coventry with some excellent last-ditch defending and Jack Rudoni had a shot saved.

    Not sure how we are goalless to be honest.

  8. HALF-TIME

    Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    Millwall have clearly learned their lesson from Saturday and have been very good indeed.

    Femi Azeez's scorching volley broke the deadlock after 25 minutes while his thunderous 35-yard free-kick was tipped onto the post, only for Tristan Crama to tuck home the rebound six minutes later.

    Birmingham came close when Jay Stansfield's low curler was tipped wide by Anthony Patterson but their eight-game unbeaten run looks in grave danger.

  9. Sheff Utd 0-0 Coventry

    We are into four minutes of stoppage time.

  10. Sheff Utd 0-0 Coventry

    Harrison Burrows sends in a dangerous free-kick for Sheffield United and Callum O'Hare flicks a header just wide.

    We're nearly at the interval, it seems to have flown by.

  11. PENALTY APPEAL

    Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    BIG appeals for a Millwall penalty after Macauley Langstaff goes down in the box as he tries to get on the end of a long throw which had been flicked on.

    Tomaki Iwata looked to have a handful of his shirt but ref Dean Whitestone says nothing doing, much to the home crowd's dismay.

  12. Sheff Utd 0-0 Coventry

    The game has tightened-up after that free-flowing opening.

    The head coaches obviously didn't like how open it was - spoilsports!

  13. 'Hamer not quite at it'

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Coventry

    Carl Asaba
    Former Sheffield United striker on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Gus Hamer hasn't quite been on the same wavelength as everyone tonight.

    His pressing and his passing just doesn't quite seem to be there at the moment.

  14. Stoke 0-0 Oxford United

    Oxford finally produce something.

    Stanley Mills goes on a run but his shot is wide.

    Will Lankshear then sees a shot saved as the visitors look to get a toehold in the game.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Paris Maghoma (39 minutes)

    And just like that the Canaries have breathing space...

    It's a first league goal for Paris Maghoma who spins delightfully in the box before rifling a low shot into the bottom corner past Seny Dieng.

    You fear for Wednesday a bit here...

  16. Get Involved

    Stoke 0-0 Oxford

    Stoke fan here... I really do believe unless our form changes tonight the top six is beyond us. We've won just one match since 4 January. Horrendous form.

    Daniel - Northants

  17. Stoke 0-0 Oxford United

    Lamine Cisse feeds Million Manhoef for Stoke - it's good play from the home side.

    Manhoef finds Sorba Thomas but the Potters' top scorer is off-target with his shot.

  18. Stoke 0-0 Oxford United

    A second save of the game from Oxford's Jamie Cumming, this time to deny Eric Bocat.

    Stoke are dominating this - 67% possession at the moment.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Mathias Kvistgaarden (31 mins)

    Norwich celebrate scoringGetty Images

    It's been coming...

    It's not pretty but Mathias Kvistgaarden has his goal, eventually, after Seny Dieng denied Ali Ahmed from Jack Stacey's cut-back from the right and the Dane's initial effort from the rebound came back off the bar, he plants his header into the net from inches out to give the home side a lead they probably deserve after the past 20 minutes.

  20. 'Millwall full of confidence'

    Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    Darren Carter
    Ex-Birmingham midfielder on BBC Radio WM

    What a hit from Azeez, he must be full of confidence after the start to the game he had.

    The free-kick has power and precision on it, it hits the post and Crama side foots it back into the middle of the goal.

    Beadle managed to tip it onto the post so credit to him, but unfortunately our defenders weren't alive to the second ball.

    Blues are going to have to throw a punch back here, the home team are full of confidence and energy.
