Wrexham have been right off it, a performance littered with mistakes without once threatening Joe Walsh's goal. Scrappy is being kind. A bare and bobbly pitch might not have helped, but it's been no issue for QPR who have looked comfortable in their control. A full house at Loftus Road giving their team full marks at the break. HT: Sheff Utd 2-0 Ipswich Betty Glover BBC Final Score at Bramall Lane Intense first half, there has been a real edge to the game. Chances for both sides but it always felt like a goal was going to come for the home side. They've been bang up for it. Eventually it did. Delightful finish from Callum O'Hare dinking over Christian Walton. Ipswich will be kicking themselves after having two big chances moments before. Sheffield United then got a second through Andre Brooks. A powerful strike from the edge of the area. Ipswich just falling apart at the back. As the players walked down the tunnel, there were loads of words exchanged, a few shirts pulled. It is very tense. Birmingham 1-0 Stoke Stoke really, really, really need to sign a striker next week if they are going to have any sort of a run-in. The Potters are down to 11th as it stands, with Blues moving level on points. .. Sheff Utd 2-0 Ipswich Sheffield United are two up and automatic promotion-chasing Ipswich are in trouble at the break. Callum O'Hare gave the Blades the lead with a wonderful dinked finish to cap a sweeping breakaway before Andre Brooks fired in on the stroke of half-time. HT: Hull 2-0 Swansea Chris Cooper BBC Radio Humberside commentator It is the fifth time this referee has been here this season. What a comfortable half he and Hull have had though. A controlled, disciplined performance, attacking with some freedom as well, thoroughly deserving of the 2-0 lead at half-time. Leicester 0-1 Oxford Oxford are halfway to what would be a massive win at the bottom of the table. Blackburn 1-1 Watford Watford are in the top six as things stand but will be unhappy they did not make more of their early dominance. They went ahead when their seventh corner was converted by Edo Kayembe only to concede the equaliser within two minutes as Lewis Miller found the net with Blackburn's first shot of the game. Luca Kjerrumgaard brought an early save out of Rovers' goalkeeper Balazs Toth as Watford opened strongly but they have rather let the home side back into this one. Hull 2-0 Swansea Hull City have a commanding lead at the break. A case of what could have been for Swansea after Zan Vipotnik missed two excellent chances. But Oli Mc Burnie's penalty and Regan Slater's piledriver have the Tigers play-off push picking up serious pace. Hull are on course for a third win in a week. QPR 1-0 Wrexham Dominant stuff from QPR who lead through a Harvey Vale rocket. Paul Smyth, Vale, Amadou Mbengue and Steve Cook have all come close to a second for the home side with Wrexham failing to produce a single effort on goal. The only concern for Rangers will be they are not further ahead. Andre Brooks (45 + 4 mins) Sheffield United double their lead! A couple of shots are blocked by Ipswich but it eventually drops for Andre Brooks, who let's fly and his effort takes a deflection on its way into the bottom corner. Blackburn 1-1 Watford Watford's Hector Kyprianou collects the game's first caution. QPR 1-0 Wrexham Just the two minutes added on here. Birmingham 1-0 Stoke Mark Elliott Stoke City commentator on BBC Radio Stoke They will be really disappointed to be a goal down here. They have dominated the first half. For me Stoke have got to just see this half out now. Bristol City 0-0 Sheff Wed All square at the break but Bristol City and Scott Twine must wonder quite how. The best chances of the half fell to Twine who was denied from close range twice by Wednesday keeper Murphy Cooper. The Owls haven't had a shot yet. Blackburn 1-1 Watford We are into three minutes of stoppage time. Birmingham 1-0 Stoke Richard Wilford BBC Radio WM commentator Brilliant from Blues there. Fifth assist of the season from Jay Stansfield, he may not have scored in 11 games, but has 14 goal involvements for the season. Obviously something they had practiced on the training ground that move. Stoke have very limited options on the bench remember if they have to chase this game later on. Hull 2-0 Swansea Hull City are purring now with a raft of chances coming their way. Joe Gelhardt sends a flick just wide before Liam Millar fires just over the bar moments later. And now Millar has seen a curling effort tipped over the bar by Lawrence Vigouroux. Vital save. Tomoki Iwata (42 mins) Breakthrough! He had a goal ruled out earlier but the defender is on the scoresheet now, Tommy Doyle's corner is helped on by Jay Stansfield and Tomoki Iwata turns it in. Blackburn 1-1 Watford Watford are forced into a change. Rocco Vata has picked up an injury. Giorgi

Chakvetadze is on for the Hornets. Sheff Utd 1-0 Ipswich Brenner Woolley BBC Radio Suffolk commentator The referee wants a word with Chris Wilder, he has overstepped the mark from what he has to say. He thinks the goalkeeper should be sent off for his challenge, but that is ridiculous, that is madness to suggest. Wilder gets a yellow card. It seems to have calmed down a little now.
