    Bromley 0-0 Accrington Stanley

    Could and probably should be 1-0 to Bromley.

    Lincoln 0-0 Blackpool

    George Honeyman has the game's first shot but the Blackpool man's effort is well over the bar.

    Also at the foot of League One, and right at the bottom, Port Vale are behind already. Veteran forward Nahki Wells has put Luton ahead at Vale Park.

    Lincoln 0-0 Blackpool

    Blackpool have started well here but it's a tall order against a side on a 16-game unbeaten run and who have only lost one League One game at Sincil Bank so far this season.

    Only Rotherham have fewer points on their travels than Blackpool's 12 in the division, but they did come from behind to get a point at Bolton last weekend.

  5. Rotherham take early leadpublished at 15:10 GMT 28 February

    In a big game at the foot of the table in League One, Rotherham have their noses ahead against Plymouth.

    Joe Rafferty gets the final touch to a ball across goal to open the scoring, while Mansfield also lead AFC Wimbledon in the third tier.

    You can see how it is going to be for Lincoln this afternoon.

    The entire Blackpool team were in their own final third and that's not reacting to a corner, that's just in open play.

    Doncaster 0-0 Cardiff

    Plenty of free-kicks in the opening few minutes.

    Only Leyton Orient and Barnsley have conceded more League One goals than Doncaster's 51 so far this season.

    Cardiff have scored 18 goals in their past six games.

    0-0 anyone?

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:03 GMT 28 February

    Bromley 0-0 Accrington Stanley

    Bromley's Jude Arthurs puts in a contender for earliest booking of the season as he is shown a yellow card in the first minute for a foul on Seamus Conneely.

    Doncaster 0-0 Cardiff

    Doncaster are without Hakeeb Adelakun for this one, while Elliot Lee and Billy Sharp are on the bench.

    Into the Rovers side come Brandon Hanlan, Harry Clifton and Glenn Middleton.

    Omari Kellyman scored both goals for the League One leaders Cardiff in their 5-2 defeat by Plymouth last weekend but he misses today.

    Calum Chambers, David Turnbull and Chris Willock are among the substitutes with Dylan Lawlor, Ryan Wintle, Cian Ashford and Rubin Colwill all starting.

    Lincoln 0-0 Blackpool

    Second-placed Lincoln have gone for the same side which won at Mansfield last weekend.

    Blackpool have made three changes from the team which got a point at Bolton with George Honeyman, Tom Bloxham and Josh Bowler in for the benched Karoy Anderson, Leighton Clarkson and Niall Ennis.

    Elsewhere in League Two this afternoon, Notts County host Grimsby Town this afternoon hoping to capitalise on Cambridge United and MK Dons both dropping points. They began today sitting outside the top three on just goal difference after a good run of seven wins in their past nine games.

    Sixth-placed Crewe Alexandra host struggling Tranmere Rovers, Chesterfield head to Barnet and an out-of-form Salford City take a trip to Colchester United.

    Bottom club Newport County head to the north west to take on Fleetwood Town, Oldham host Crawley, Barnet take on Chesterfield and Gareth Ainsworth's Gillingham have made the long trip to Barrow.

    Bromley seem to be as good off the pitch as they are on it at the moment.

    The club are today unveiling their new main stand, named after George Wakeling - the club's longest-serving manager who holds the record for most unbeaten games at 18.

    However, with Andy Woodman currently on a 15-game unbeaten run of his own, that record might not be intact for much longer!

    Bromley v Accrington Stanley (15:00 GMT)

    League Two table-toppers Bromley host Accrington Stanley this afternoon, hoping to get back to winning aways after three successive draws.

    Despite the mini-stutter, the Ravens are still on an incredible unbeaten run of 19 home league matches - the best run in the fourth tier that a side has been on since Salford City's 21 matches without a defeat in 2020-21.

    Meanwhile, Stanley are seeking back-to-back league wins away from home for the first time this season after beating Tranmere 1-0 last time out on the road.

    Stevenage's electric start to the season has finally petered out somewhat, with a lack of goals hurting their promotion chances. They began the weekend in eighth place, four points short of the play-off places, so a win this afternoon would be a welcome tonic.

    Stockport look comfortable in fifth place but have lost their past two games on the road - a worrying trend for Dave Challinor's side with the play-off places very much in their sights.

    Three points would be massive for either side in this one...

    Sincil Bank is getting a glow-up this summer, with Lincoln City announcing this week more seats and more corporate hospitality for next season.

    It's just one way you can sense the hope this club has of promotion to the Championship.

    16 games unbeaten and 6,000 season ticket sales for next season are also signs of confidence here.

    All the stats point to this being a win for Lincoln, but Blackpool need points and will be keen to pick up something here.

    Lincoln are motoring.

    While Cardiff above them and those directly below them have stumbled, the Imps have put together a 16-game unbeaten run (their best in the third tier) to put them within sight of Championship football for the first time in 65 years.

    Boss Michael Skubala has been reminding his players about what a big piece of history they could be about to make.

    "It's being connected to what's gone before. We have to understand the history of the club and where it's come from and we want to be part of the journey while we have the baton," he said before today's game with Blackpool.

    "I think it's really important the players understand the history of the club and how much it means to fans."

    There will not be many betting against them making it 17 unbeaten today against a Blackpool side who are winless in their past five on the road and may feel upcoming games against Wigan, Doncaster and Port Vale will have more of a say in their fight for survival.

  20. Cardiff's costly weekpublished at 14:45 GMT 28 February

    As weeks go, Cardiff have had better this year.

    A 5-2 battering at Plymouth last Saturday was followed by the news this week the club lost £35m during their relegation from the Championship last season.

    The club stated that relegation from the Championship meant they faced an "immediate challenge" of an "incredibly significant drop in turnover and the actions that by necessity had to be taken around the club's cost base to bridge that gap".

    An immediate return to the second tier remains on the cards despite that loss in Devon, with the Bluebirds holding an 11-point advantage over third-placed Bolton - but it has allowed Lincoln, who are second, to move within one point of the summit.

    A trip to Doncaster may not have proved too much of an obstacle at the start of the year, but Rovers have come alive with five wins from their past eight games, pulling them five points clear of trouble.

    Adding the league leaders to their list of scalps may not be as unlikely as it sounds.
