    Wigan 0-2 Blackpool

    There's six minutes added to the clock and the Brick Community Stadium but the exits are already being flooded by home fans heading home to finish their Christmas shopping.

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:21 GMT 20 December 2025

    Stevenage 2-2 Burton

    Into FOUR added minutes for one or other of these teams to find a winner.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:20 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wigan 0-2 Blackpool

    It's now Andy Lyons having his name written down in the caution box.

    That's a fourth Blackpool defender with a yellow mark on their name but it is a bit late for Wigan to look at exploiting it now. It looks like their undefeated run has come to it's end.

    Stevenage 2-2 Burton

    Jamie Reid is adamant he should have had a free-kick on the edge of the box after Jack Armer's pull-back and lunge at the ball but ref Scott Oldham says play-on.

    The home fans are incensed and Alex Revell and Reid don't look happy either.

    Burton go down the other end and Tyrese Shade almost makes matters worse, only for his curling effort to go too close to Filip Marschall.

  5. Postpublished at 14:20 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Four minutes at the end of the 90 at Meadow Lane. Can anyone find a winner?

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:20 GMT 20 December 2025

    Bromley 2-0 Grimsby

    Will Hondermarck's work is done as he is replaced by Jude Arthurs. His two goals look like taking Bromley into second place in the table as things stand.

  7. Postpublished at 14:18 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Oliver Norburn gets the man of the match award from the stadium announcer, a decision met with a smattering of applause.

  8. Postpublished at 14:16 GMT 20 December 2025

    Bromley 2-0 Grimsby

    Another good bit of assistery from Marcus Ifill but Nicke Kabamba cannot quite direct his header which bounces just wide of the post.

  9. Postpublished at 14:16 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wigan 0-2 Blackpool

    A chance for Paul Mullin to find the net again and this time make it count but he fluffs his lines.

    James Carragher nods it along to the front man but Mullin gets his strike all muddled, sending it way off target with time running low to pick up anything from this game.

  10. 'Saddlers must retain possession'published at 14:16 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Tom Marlow
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    Three minutes to go of normal time.

    Saddlers have to got keep the ball, it's not been good enough in terms of the retention of the ball, it needs to be better.

    Whilst Mat Sadler looks frustrated down there, all it takes is one chance. There's not been many clear cut chances for either team. They've just got to stay in the game.

  11. Postpublished at 14:15 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Notts County have build well to the edge of Walsall's area but are not finding any line breaking passes from there.

    Matthew Dennis has a burst from just inside the Walsall half but after making hard yards he fires a rather tame effort which is easily saved.

    It is starting to look a lot like a goalless draw at the top with just over four of the 90 to go.

  12. Postpublished at 14:14 GMT 20 December 2025

    Stevenage 2-2 Burton

    Louis Thompson tries his luck with an angled 20-yard effort, perhaps hoping to take advantage of the sun behind him, but his rising effort is always off target and Brad Collins is not called into action.

  13. Postpublished at 14:13 GMT 20 December 2025

    Stevenage 2-2 Burton

    Brad Collins is dealing with the setting sun in this second half and I am certain he can't see a thing as he uses both arms to shield his eyes before launching a kick forward.

    Footballers love a baseball cap on a night out, what's wrong with using one during the game in circumstances like this? Madness, if you ask me.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:13 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wigan 0-2 Blackpool

    More Blackpool pressure as George Honeyman makes a diving run into the box to make a swift, low header but seeing it blocked out of trouble.

    Worrying sights for the home supporters but maybe the visiting side will also be feeling a little nervous.

    Ollie Casey cannot play on and Andy Lyons needs to join in on the action as Blackpool's final change. All three of their defenders have their names scribbled on a yellow card though so the backline will need to be extra cautious.

  15. Will we see a winner?published at 14:13 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Sanny Rudravajhala
    BBC Radio 5 Live at Meadow Lane

    ‘Have a very merry Christmas’ booms the announcer as 11,870 fans are announced to be here in League Two.

    It’s a great crowd, we just need a winner now!

  16. Postpublished at 14:12 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    It is just not happening for Notts County who are probing and harrying without any success.

    Walsall for their part are seemingly happy to start to wind the clock down with 10 behind the ball and without much of an offer going forward.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:10 GMT 20 December 2025

    Bromley 2-0 Grimsby

    Jude Soonsup-Bell is on for Jaze Kabia as Grimsby search for a breakthrough in the last 15 minutes.

  18. CLOSE!published at 14:10 GMT 20 December 2025

    Stevenage 2-2 Burton

    Chances at both ends in quick succession as Jamie Reid's downward header from a deep cross from Phoenix Patterson on the left is straight at Brad Collins.

    Then seconds later at the other end Jack Armer finds Julian Larsson on the edge of the box to take a touch and then curl a glorious effort inches past the far top corner with Filip Marschall at full stretch.

    Would have been some goal.

    Into the final 10 minutes and you feel like the scoring isn't over...

  19. 'Walsall defence holding strong'published at 14:10 GMT 20 December 2025

    Notts County 0-0 Walsall

    Tom Heslop
    Member of Walsall media team on BBC WM

    In terms of the clean sheets, the defence has been excellent, its not been too disrupted this season.

    If you could settle on this scoreline I think there will be a lot of people from a Walsall perspective that would be happy with it.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:09 GMT 20 December 2025

    Bromley 2-0 Grimsby

    Nicke Kabamba and Brooklyn Ilunga are on for the hosts with Michael Cheek and Mitch Pinnock making way.
