Tuesday Recap

Bolton Wanderers struck twice late on in an attempt to revive their hopes of beating Rotherham on Tuesday evening, but it was a task too far for Neil Lennon's side after going in at the break trailing 3-0.

Matt Derbyshire netted a fourth for the Reds in the 57th minute, with Liam Trotter and Matt Mills starting the visitors' comeback too late, resulting in a 4-2 defeat.

It's the first time this season Rotherham have managed to score more than three goals in a single fixture, although it's still not enough to move the side above 21st.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Derby County surged back into second place thanks to a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, the visitors' official Twitter account confirming Darren Bent's role as super-sub for the Rams:

Levelling on points with leaders Bournemouth, this was the ideal response Steve McClaren's side, who were seriously disappointed to lose 2-1 against Nottingham Forest in their previous fixture.

As Andy Naylor of The Argus points out, it's odd that on-loan Bent should be enjoying such fine striking form of late when parent club Aston Villa are sorely lacking in the finishing department:

Tuesday's other two results ended in 0-0 stalemates as the 10 men of Millwall shared the spoils with guests Reading, while Birmingham City clinched a clean sheet and a point from their trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

Sid Nelson was sent off at The Den just before the half-time interval, but the 18th-place Royals were incapable of capitalising upon the one-man advantage.

The Blues remain just two points off the Owls, 11th and ninth in the standings, respectively, coming away from southeast London with their fourth unbeaten league result in a row.

Watford left themselves open to a loss of momentum after going in at half-time in their fixture against Blackpool with a 2-0 deficit to overcome, but the Hornets rallied in the second period to end up as 7-2 victors.

In Saturday's most entertaining tie, some stern words from manager Slavisa Jokanovic had the desired effect in turning around their fortunes, with Back Page Football detailing their rise from the jaws of defeat:

The Tangerines will be dismayed to have let such a potentially huge result evade their grasp, but The Football League Show's Manish Basin outlines what an offensively strong outfit this Watford team can be:

Brentford maintained their run as one of the Championship's in-form sides at Norwich City, where on-loan Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard converted a 71st-minute penalty to give the Bees their third successive victory.

Nathan Redmond equalised for the Canaries to give the Carrow Road hosts a hope of actually moving above Brentford, but the west London side keep their place in the top four by virtue of this result.

Huddersfield Town were Saturday's other victors at the DW Stadium, edging past Wigan Athletic with a late finish of their own to claim their third win in four matches.

Per the official Latics Twitter account, Conor Coady played the role of hero, sending in his 82nd-minute winner from range to pull Town up into 15th place, while Wigan remain lodged in 23rd:

Neither Wolves nor Charlton Athletic could decide upon a victor in their clash, ending 0-0 at the Molineux in a fixture the hosts really should have been confident enough to win.

The Addicks will leave as the far happier of the two teams with their share of the spoils, but have now gone without a win in 10 outings, their last coming all the way back in early November.
