It's been a little bit cling-on for Lincoln City with around 20 minutes to go.

I think we were rightly critical of Cardiff in the first half, but they have shown up in this second half.

It's going very well for Exeter City this afternoon.

Jayden Wareham prods in Luca Woodhouse's corner delivery to give the Grecians a 2-0 lead over Barnsley.

Xavier Simons thought he'd equalised for Bolton for all the world.

After a Trotters corner had come back off the bar his volley squeezed through the body of keeper Will Norris but the veteran was able to spin and snatch the ball back to prevent it crossing the line.

Fleetwood are level with Gillingham, Ryan Graydon with the effort on 53 minutes to make it 1-1.

Michael Mellon has a two-goal league haul for Oldham to give them a 2-1 lead over Tranmere.

Salford remain 2-0 up against Barnet, Colchester lead by the same margin against Newport and MK Dons are coasting 3-0 up against Harrogate.

Chesterfield's Lee Bonis has broken the stalemate against Shrewsbury to give them a 1-0 lead.

And still the Bluebirds come...

Omari Kellyman has seen a header hacked off the Lincoln line by Tom Hamer while George Wickens has made a fine save to deny Ryan Wintle the goal which would complete the turnaround.

Leyton Orient aren't having a good day with injuries.

They've got another player down and unable to continue having already lost Tayo Adaramola in the first-half.

Theo Archibald is the one to be afflicted on this occasion, who has already missed much of the season with a serious knee injury and will be gutted to see his comeback affected.

Demetri Mitchell needs to jog on earlier than intended.

It's going to be a very challenging second half. This is what we expected the game to be like for Lincoln.

It's about what you can do to stem Cardiff. It feels like Lincoln's energy levels have dipped a little bit, they look a bit fatigued out there.

Bolton pressing to get back on terms as George Johnston sends Thierry Gale clear but his low ball into the mixer is deflected out of the path of the lurking Sam Dalby by the desperate lunge of a back-tracking defender.

Huddersfield aren't settling for three.. Leo Castledine has come close to a second headed goal with an effort from an Alfie May cross which flies past Cameron Dawson's upright.

All Cardiff now as Alex Robertson's curling effort is tipped away by the flying George Wickens while Cian Ashford has fired another effort past the post.

It's a sensational goal.

We said in the first half we hadn't seen a lot from them as league leaders and that was the first bit of quality we've seen.

You have to take your hat off and say that was an exceptional goal.

Ronan Kpakio has been sent-on by Brian Barry-Murphy at the break, in place of Joel Bagan, who got the dramatic winner last time out.

Cardiff almost conceded a second before the break as Tom Bayliss and Jack Moylan were denied by Matthew Turner and BBM knows he has to turn the tide.

Away we go again... a big 45 minutes for many of the 30 sides in action this afternoon.

Who will go into Christmas on a high? We'll know in 45 minutes or so...

All I want for Christmas is ... a goal.

Swindon, knowing a win by two would take them top, have been well off it. Nowhere near the levels they reached in last weekend’s win at Bristol Rovers.

But credit to Crawley. The visitors, looking for a first win in six, have been the better side.

Josh Flint and Ryan Loft with decent chances.

A Christmas cracker this is not.

What really stood out to me was Lincoln started to bully Cardiff in the final five minutes, they need to go out and do that in the second half.

Jack Moylan, it wasn't his goal but he caused the problems for Cardiff which lead to the goal.

• A breathtaking opening 23 minutes saw Plymouth recover from a goal deficit to make it 3-1 against Doncaster Rovers
• Exeter are out of the bottom four for now with their 1-0 lead over play-off chasing Barnsley
• It's level pegging between Leyton Orient and Bradford City with one goal apiece
• Lincoln are on track to upset the league leaders 1-0 after Cardiff City's Alex Robertson's own goal
• Mansfield also took the lead against Stockport through an own goal only to find things level due to... another own goal with Ryan Sweeney making it 1-1.
• It's goalless at the break between Port Vale and Peterborough despite a healthy amount of added time
• Rotherham seem out for the count as Huddersfield dominate with a 3-0 lead
• Wycombe have come back from behind to lead 2-1 against an in-form Bolton

A dream half for Huddersfield, Lee Grant and Lynden Gooch in particular.

Gooch scored the opener and then set-up Bojan Radulovic to loop the second and Leo Castledine to head the third.

The Terriers are heading for a first win in six games and a push back towards the top six.
