Five games in action on Friday evening across tiers three and four League One latest: Cambridge 0-3 Huddersfield, Stockport 1-1 Peterborough & Wycombe 0-0 Bolton League Two latest: Crewe 0-0 Colchester & Gillingham 1-2 Cheltenham Ben Ashton, Matthew Cresswell & Ben Hutchinson Cambridge 0-3 Huddersfield A chance for Cambridge but it goes begging. Dan Nlundulu again with great hold up play as he plays it to Elias Kachunga but the ex-Huddersfield man can only fire over the bar from just inside the box. Stockport 1-1 Peterborough Stockport come forward and a cross is cleared to Lewis Bate on the edge of the area who hits a powerful drive towards goal but it just goes over the bar. George Miller (60 mins) The visitors have turned it around in style! Tom Bradbury gets down the left hand side and the defender picks out an absolutely wonderful cross right on the head of George Miller who has the simplest of tasks to nod home from six yards out. That goal is all about the pin-point assist from Bradbury. Stockport 1-1 Peterborough Peterborough win a free kick after Harvey Mills was fouled by Stockport goalscorer Odin Bailey, who is shown yellow. It doesn't come to much and both sides are just probing when in possession. Intriguing encounter at Edgeley Park. Could genuinely go either way. Gillingham 1-1 Cheltenham The rain has just picked up at Priestfield which may make it interesting for both keepers in the second half. Meanwhile, Cheltenham gaffer Michael Flynn makes the first change of the night with Lewis Payne being brought on to replace Joel Colwill. Wycombe 0-0 Bolton it's pretty much all Wycombe at the moment. It's just a case of whether they can find that final pass. Fred Onyedinma does a few stepovers inside the box before running it out of play. Backs to the walls a bit here for Bolton. Crewe 0-0 Colchester United Good bit of pressure from the hosts early in the second-half! Ryan Cooney puts a dangerous ball into the Colchester box but it is cut out before it reaches Shilow Tracey who would have had a tap-in otherwise. Cambridge 0-3 Huddersfield Just as they did in the first half, Cambridge have started the second period well. But also as in the first half, Huddersfield are just regaining control again. Herbie Kane plays a great ball down the left to Josh Koroma who beats a man and cuts inside but sees his cross cut out. Gillingham 1-1 Cheltenham So close to Gillingham retaking the lead! The ball finds itself to last Saturday's match winner Robbie Mc Kenzie but his low drive from just outside the box goes inches wide of Joe Day's right hand post with the Cheltenham shotstopper beaten. Good effort! Wycombe 0-0 Bolton Phil Brown Former Bolton assistant manager on BBC Radio Manchester I don't know what's changed but Wycombe are getting behind Bolton far easier so far. Wanderers have not started yet, Wycombe are all over them. They've had a few half chances already. Wycombe 0-0 Bolton Promising start to the second half for Wycombe. Beryly Lubala plays a clever quick free-kick to Alex Hartridge down the left but he hits a cross straight out of play. Moments later, Cameron Humphreys hits a first time effort well over the bar. A couple of good openings for the hosts, though. Crewe 0-0 Colchester No half-time changes from either side with Crewe boss Lee Bell having forwards Omar Bogle and Chris Long to choose from if he so wishes in the second-half. Danny Cowley will be happy with how his Colchester side performed in the first half with the visitors now closing in on 11 hours without conceding a goal in all competitions. The last goal the U's gave up came against Bradford City on 16th November! Stockport 1-1 Peterborough Donay O'Brien-Brady is on early in the second half for Peterborough. He takes the place of Hector Kyprianou. Wycombe 0-0 Bolton Cries for a penalty by Wycombe as Cameron Humphreys gets to the byeline and thumps a ball at Jay Matete's hand from point blank range. The ref says no. That would've been very harsh. Stockport 1-1 Peterborough Stockport are doing the early attacking in this second half. Louie Barry fires in a cross and it's blocked behind for a corner. Peterborough are able to deal with it, though. Cambridge 0-3 Huddersfield Cambridge come straight forward in search of hope in this game and Dan Nlundulu plays it through to Shayne Lavery but he hits his effort wide of the target. #bbcefl Off we go for the second half of our three League One and two League Two matches. Cambridge need a minor miracle, while Stockport, Peterborough, Wycombe and Bolton will all be going in search of a winner. As will Crewe, Colchester, Gillingham and Cheltenham. Big 45 incoming, then. .. HT: Crewe 0-0 Colchester David Gregory Ex-Colchester midfielder on BBC Essex A really good start from Colchester, we looked much the better side. Crewe came into it as the half went on and it became a bit of cat and mouse. We finished the half well and could have scored just before the break. HT: Wycombe 0-0 Bolton Phil Brown Former Bolton assistant manager on BBC Radio Manchester I see a lot of quality and belief, they are a big unit, a

big team. Sam Allardyce would be going overboard with their set pieces,

Bolton have to deal with it and they have put their body on the line. If they continue to play like that, they have a chance in

the second half, I want to see them higher up the pitch to test the keeper. They’re hitting the front man, just not with enough quality. Gillingham 1-1 Cheltenham An entertaining half of football at Priestfield and the teams go in level at the break. The hosts opened the scoring halfway through the first period when Jayden Clarke pounced on Elliott Nevin's spilled shot to give the Gills a well-earned lead. Cheltenham did not lie down though and a fabulous free-kick from distance by Luke Young restored parity for the Robins 12 minutes later. Replays suggest it could have been a cross, could have been a shot, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time. Last Updated 20th December 2024 at 21: 03 Please Note: All times UK.
