Gilles Sunu
Reading 4-1 Derby
Wednesday, March 10
Gilles Sunu scored Derby's only goal as the Rams suffered a 4-1 away defeat to Reading on Wednesday night. The striker cancelled out Shane Long's eighth-minute strike on the 20-minute mark but Jimmy Kebe restored the hosts' lead in the 34th minute. Derby keeper Stephen Bywater had been taken off injured early in the game and four minutes before half-time his replacement Saul Deeney was dismissed for a foul on Jay Tabb inside the penalty area. Robbie Savage donned the gloves but Long sent his spot kick over. However, the midfielder was beaten in the 69th minute when Ryan Bertrand made it 3-1 and Simon Church added a fourth in the closing stages. Derby are 16th in the Championship, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Jack Wilshere
Sunderland 4-0 Bolton
Tuesday, March 9
While his Arsenal team-mates were enjoying a 5-0 victory over Porto on Tuesday night, on-loan Jack Wilshere played 90 minutes as Bolton were on the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat to Sunderland. Darren Bent scored a second-half hat-trick against 10-man Wanderers after Frazer Campbell had put Sunderland ahead after 41 seconds. Sam Ricketts was sent off for a foul on Bent which led to the striker adding his second from the penalty spot. Bolton are five points clear of the relegation zone having played a game more than the six teams below them in the Premier League table.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas
Preston 1-1 Doncaster
Tuesday, March 9
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas played 90 minutes as Doncaster registered a 1-1 draw with Preston on Tuesday evening. Rovers are now closer to the play-offs than the relegation zone despite Billy Sharp having a second-half penalty saved. James Hayter put the visitors ahead after 29 minutes but Neil Mellor equalised for North End shortly before half-time.
Jay Simpson
QPR 2-0 Plymouth
Tuesday, March 9
Jay Simpson helped QPR move further away from the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Plymouth on Tuesday. Adel Taarabt opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Tamas Priskin was felled by Kari Arnason. Damion Stewart added the second shortly after half-time to give the Rs a six-point cushion above the bottom three.
Kyle Bartley
Peterborough 1-0 Sheffield United
Tuesday, March 9
Kyle Bartley played 90 minutes as Sheffield United lost 1-0 to Kerrea Gilbert's Peterborough on Tuesday night. Gilbert was not involved in the match but his team-mate Craig Mackail-Smith headed in the game's only goal five minutes before half-time. The loss is the Blades' seventh consecutive away defeat and leaves them four points short of the play-off zone having played a game more than sixth-placed Cardiff City.
Henri Lansbury
Watford 0-1 Swansea
Tuesday, March 9
Henri Lansbury made his 24th Championship start of the season on Tuesday evening as Watford suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Swansea. Shefki Kuqi struck the goal 18 minutes into the match to leave the Hornets just two points clear of the relegation zone.
Mark Randall
MK Dons 2-1 Swindon
Tuesday, March 9
Mark Randall played 85 minutes as MK Dons recorded a crucial 2-1 victory over fellow play-off hopefuls Swindon Town. Aaron Wilbraham put Paul Ince's side ahead just two minutes in and James Tunnicliffe doubled their advantage on the 37-minute mark. The visitors pulled one back deep into stoppage time through Daniel Ward. The Dons are now five points behind Swindon, who currently occupy the final play-off berth.
