"You have to cherish these moments, since I came to Southampton the staff and players have been very welcoming which has made it easier for me. "When you feel good it translates onto the pich, I've been a lot of places in my career and I think my experience helps me to adapt really quickly, I gel really well with the group. "We should be higher in the table but that's football, if you go on a run in this league then that can change. " HT: Birmingham 1-1 Leicester Michael Morrison Former Leicester and Birmingham defender on BBC Radio Leicester I think a really slow start from Leicester, it took them a while after conceding a goal to be on a level playing field. The sending off really changes the dynamic and will put so much more defensive reliability on Leicester. I think it was a lapse of concentration from Ricardo for the goal, Fatawu's finish got them back into it before the red card. It'll be a real tough second half for us now. We've got reaction from our three lunchtime games starting to come through so stick with us through this half-time break. HT Wrexham 0-0 Millwall Ian Mitchelmore BBC Sport Wales at Stok Cae Ras, Wrexham There really isn't much in this contest. Wrexham started and ended the half well and have looked the likelier to open the scoring, although this one remains finely balanced going into the second half. One goal could could settle it, for sure. West Brom 0-0 Stoke VERY cagey opening first few minutes of this game but a bit better since. West Brom desperately need a win to climb out of the bottom three, while the Potters need the points to breathe life into their flagging play-off push. Famous last words but I expect this to open up more in the second half. Wrexham 0-0 Millwall The clash between two sides right in the play-off hunt hasn't quite got going yet. Millwall haven't had a shot on target at all and are really struggling to get much past Wrexham. Birmingham 1-1 Leicester Someone stop the ride, Leicester want to get off. .. probably for the rest of the season. In a week in which they've had six points deducted and still with an interim boss they have done their best to hand the points to Birmingham. Poor defending allowed Ibrahim Osman to score his first Blues goal but gives the Foxes credit as they did fight back thanks to a fine Abdul Fatawu strike. But the visitors have imploded with Phil Neumann having a goal disallowed, Asmir Begovic superbly denying Carlos Vicente before Bobby De Cordova-Reid hacked down Osman to receive his marching orders. Birmingham have won 28 of their past 39 home games - difficult to not see them making it 29. Preston 1-0 Portsmouth Alfie Devine's excellent header five minutes before the break gives Preston a lead at the break. Andre Dozzell was inches away from levelling for Portsmouth within two minutes of going behind while Ebou Adams has forced a save out of David Cornell. Not the best spectacle but home fans won't care. HT: Hull City 1-2 Bristol City Huge response from Bristol City and they go in with a lead after an entertaining opening 45. Oli Mc Burnie had given the hosts the lead midway through the first half but two goals in six minutes - from Rob Atkinson and Ross Mc Crorie - have turned the game on its head at the break. Coventry 0-0 Oxford The table toppers have had most of the ball and most of the shots but they have no goals. Relegation-threatened Oxford have had their moments and, with 45 minutes to play, they're right in this match against the wobbling Sky Blues. Birmingham 1-1 Leicester Into an extra three minutes we go. Preston 1-0 Portsmouth Just the one minute added on. West Brom 0-0 Stoke At least four minutes added on to the end of the first half in the Black Country. Hull 1-2 Bristol City It's all going on at the MKM. Hull win a free-kick in a dangerous spot and Joe Gelhardt steps up and Radek Vitek stretches his fingertips to nudge it over the bar. West Brom 0-0 Stoke Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba nearly has a debut goal for the Baggies but Potters keeper Tommy Simkin does well to tip his deflected shot over the bar. Coventry 0-0 Oxford With Middlesbrough not playing until Monday, when they travel to upwardly mobile Sheffield United, Coventry have a chance to go three points clear at the top of the league again. As we approach half-time it's a chance they aren't taking. Aflei Devine (40 mins) Deadlock broken. A ball into the box and Alfie Devine gets his head to it for Preston. Goal number six of the season for him and a first home goal for Preston in their past three games. Coventry 0-0 Oxford Nathan Cooper BBC Radio Oxford commentator We said we needed fight from Oxford and we're getting it. We're still 0-0 so I'm happy. Wrexham 0-0 Millwall Ian Mitchelmore BBC Sport Wales at Stok Cae Ras, Wrexham A real blow for Wrexham who lose Matty James to injury. The central midfielder has featured in every league game for Wrexham so far this season. George Dobson - formerly of Millwall's neighbours Charlton Athletic - comes on in his place. Ross Mc Crorie (39 mins) What a turnaround! ! Radek Vitek had just made an excellent save down the other end to deny Paddy Mc Nair in a one-two with Lewie Coyle, but Bristol City race straight up the pitch with Tomi Horvat unlucky to not find the net first. But almost immediately the ball comes back to Ross Mc Crorie who, with time on his side, fires the ball into the top corner with an excellent strike.
