League One: Bradford City 0-0 Lincoln City, Mansfield Town 2-0 Plymouth Argyle The Bantams go second after their goalless draw with Lincoln, who move up a place to fifth Mansfield are three points off the play-off places after goals from Will Evans and Jordan Bowery keep Plymouth in the drop zone League Two: Accrington Stanley 1-1 Tranmere Rovers Shaun Whalley put Stanley in front but Charlie Whitaker equalised in the second half shortly before Paddy Madden's penalty kick was saved Stanley move up to 21st, a point above the relegation zone. Rovers rise to 17th Ben Miller, Deepak Mahay & Ben Hutchinson Accrington 1-1 Tranmere Tranmere's boisterous fans had more to be excited about during the final stages of a dramatic second half in tricky conditions in League Two, but their side could not score a second as their unbeaten run extends to three games. Charlie Whitaker's memorable strike - his first goal for the club - earns 17th-placed Rovers a point, as does 44-year-old Joe Murphy's penalty save from Paddy Madden almost immediately afterwards. Shaun Whalley marked his long-awaited comeback with a composed finish to give Stanley a half-time lead, but the hosts are only a point above the bottom two, in 21st. Accrington 1-1 Tranmere Tranmere load the box for a corner during six minutes of added time. Omari Patrick nods the ball down, but Accrington hack clear. Mansfield 2-0 Plymouth Eighth-placed Mansfield's momentum continues with a comfortable third win as part of a five-match unbeaten league run. Nigel Clough's side are three points from the play-off places thanks to Will Evans' second goal in four days and Jordan Bowery's finish, sealing victory five minutes after coming on. Plymouth's only major chance fell to Tegan Finn, who was brilliantly denied by Liam Roberts just before Bowery's introduction. Argyle remain third-bottom and have gone almost five hours without scoring. They've lost three in a row, with this their second 2-0 defeat in six days. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Points shared in West Yorkshire in a scrappy encounter. On the balance of play it's probably a fair result. Bradford go seven unbeaten and move up to second, a point behind leaders Stockport, but Graham

Alexander will no doubt see this as another missed opportunity to top League One after recording their fourth successive draw. Lincoln move a place up into fifth after picking up a point on the road. They'll take that given that the Bantams are unbeaten at Valley Parade this season. Mansfield 2-0 Plymouth Mansfield will feel they are seeing out these closing minutes nicely. They've sent on Max Dickov - son of Paul - and Dom Dwyer for Stephen Mc Laughlin

and Nathan Moriah-Welsh. Plymouth are toiling. Lorent Tolaj shifts the ball to Bim Pepple on the edge of the box on the left, and the home fans make their amusement clear as the resulting shot sails high over the bar. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Ciaran Kelly puts in a cross into the Lincoln box, Andy Cook meets it with his head, but George Wickens is equal to it and tips it over his bar. Cook nearly wins it at the end on his 200th appearance. Accrington 1-1 Tranmere End-to-end entertainment in the closing stages in League Two. Accrington's Benn Ward supplies on-loan Everton winger Isaac Heath who fires a low shot narrowly wide of the far post from the left. The home fans thought the net was about to bulge, there. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln We're into four minutes of added time. Will we find winner at Valley Parade? Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Mark Hone Former Lincoln City defender on BBC Radio Lincolnshire [Tyreik ] Wright has been really good for Bradford tonight, it's a great save from Wickens. The rebound comes straight to the Bradford player and I thought he'd tuck it away. I could watch another 10 minutes of this. Mansfield 2-0 Plymouth We've entered seven minutes of added time. This would be some rescue act from Plymouth, while Mansfield are closing in on 11 points from their past five games. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Bradford come forward as Andy Cook picks out Tyreik Wright, he shoots but Lincoln keeper George Wickens makes the save. That's the best opportunity he home side have probably created this half. Mansfield 2-0 Plymouth Jon D'Laryea Former Mansfield Town midfielder on BBC Radio Nottingham I think Mariah-Welsh has worked hard tonight, he's put in a really good shift. He's had that little bit of quality tonight. It's been comfortable for Mansfield in the end. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Lincoln make their third change as the striker on loan from Everton, Francis Okoronkwo, comes on for Justin Obikwu, who has had a good game tonight. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Bradford are in the ascendency now as they go in search of an opener. Jordan Bowery (84 mins) Impact substitute! Nathan Moriah-Welsh looks certain to score in front of goal but produces an air shot as the ball rolls to him with Plymouth's defence in disarray. The midfielder will be as relieved as the home fans are happy because the newly introduced Jordan Bowery plunges in to prod Mansfield's second. Game over? Accrington 1-1 Tranmere Fair to say that Tranmere might be happier with a point here following that equaliser and penalty save. Andy Crosby's side will be four points clear of danger if they draw. Mansfield 1-0 Plymouth Mansfield boss Nigel Clough was unhappy at being prevented from immediately making changes after that chance for Plymouth. Now Jordan Bowery replaces Rhys Oates, who should have tucked in a second for the Stags after the break. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln From one Wright to another. Tyreik Wright is straight into the action coming off the bench. He plays a quality ball across the box with Joe Wright unable to turn the ball home at the back post. Not sure how he's even missed that, but he has. Bradford 0-0 Lincoln Mark Hone Former Lincoln City defender on BBC Radio Lincolnshire It's magic or mistake tonight. A goal takes us second, that's how close the top is. It's such fine margins here. Mansfield 1-0 Plymouth Plymouth so nearly equalise! Jamie Paterson's determination pays off deep inside the box on the left, Deji Oshilaja stumbling to allow the substitute to supply Tegan Finn in front of goal. Liam Roberts makes an excellent reflex save and bravely prevents Finn from making clean contact with the rebound. Last Updated 28th October 2025 at 21: 39 Please Note: All times UK.
