    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Leo Scienza's corner delivery is easily headed away by Colchester's Sean Raggett.

    30 minutes or so left until possible penalties.

    Surely, Southampton have got to score soon as they continue to pile on the pressure. Surely...

    No matter what happens to Colchester now the first half has given me confidence for the season

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Ben Brereton Diaz gets his head on the cross into the box but the Colchester defender is right alongside him and it's sent north.

    Southampton are still in control of this match but the U's defences aren't being pierced.

  4. 'Scoring on debut'published at 18:45 BST 8 August

    Rotherham 0-3 West Brom

    Steve Hermon
    BBC Radio WM commentator

    If you want to make a mark, score on your debut.

    If you want to go one better score on your debut, when you have just come off the bench!

  5. 'Its clear what Eckert's said at half-time'published at 18:45 BST 8 August

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Jo Tessem
    Ex-Southampton midfielder on BBC Radio Solent

    It's clear what's Tonda Eckert has said in the half-time break.

    More tempo, quicker, be braver, go forward.

    They're being decisive and going for it, but they are lacking a little bit of quality still. Especially because Colchester play with a back five, it's tough to get through and you need those individual players to step up. Either have a brilliant touch, see something or create space with the ball and without the ball and it will come.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Cheltenham 1-3 Charltonpublished at 18:43 BST 8 August

    George Miller (55 mins)

    A lifeline for Cheltenham!

    It's a very soft goal for the visitors to give up as well.

    Joe Tomlinson's in-swinging corner is innocuously turned in by George Miller who is completely unmarked!

    Charlton keeper Will Mannion has his hand up appealing for a free-kick but one is not forthcoming.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Rotherham 0-3 West Brompublished at 18:43 BST 8 August

    Felix Myhre (55 mins)

    Off the bench and on the scoresheet!

    Just when Rotherham were threatening to get back into the game, Albion go down the other end and surely make the game safe.

    Nat Phillips finds Felix Myhre in acres of space. Myhre finds Isaac Price whose effort is well saved by the outstretched legs of Ted Cann but the ball comes back to Myhre who gobbles up the rebound on his debut.

    The second round beckons for the Baggies.

  8. CLOSE!published at 18:42 BST 8 August

    Rotherham 0-2 West Brom

    Rotherham really starting to pose a threat now.

    Fabio Tavares is beginning to have more joy down the right and he fires a ball across the box but there are no takers.

    Then, Kian Spence gets the better of his man and finds Paul Mullin but his effort is well saved down low to his left by Max O'Leary.

    O'Leary's first save of the match.

    Rotherham 0-2 West Brom

    Lee Camp
    Former West Bromwich Albion and Rotherham goalkeeper on BBC Radio WM

    West Brom have got to get their foot back on the ball, and not allow these little wins for Rotherham.

    If Rotherham keep getting these small positives, they will get a chance and it can change the complexion of this game.

  10. Postpublished at 18:41 BST 8 August

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Flynn Downes has plenty of space outside the box and unravels a shot.

    The Saints man misses to the left and the U's stopper might have gotten there anyway but it's got boss Tonda Eckert applauding for more.

  11. Postpublished at 18:39 BST 8 August

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Saints winger Leo Scienza takes the ball with his right foot but hits it wide.

  12. Postpublished at 18:38 BST 8 August

    Rotherham 0-2 West Brom

    Better from Rotherham.

    They break down the right and the ball is cut back to Paul Mullin but his first time snap shot is well blocked by Nat Phillips who throws himself at the ball to prevent Max O'Leary having to make his first save of the game.

  13. Postpublished at 18:38 BST 8 August

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Colchester's Harry Anderson does great work to prevent the ball from going out of play and it lifts his confidence enough to go for goal.

    That endeavour doesn't end as well though as it's off into the stands.

    A moment of worry for the U's too as Bradley Ihionvien clutches at his hamstrings but he seems to be playing on without the need for treatment.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:34 BST 8 August

    Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Colchester have made a change at the break.

    Skipper Jack Tucker is off and in comes new signing Sam Kuffour Jr, son of former Ghana international Sam Kuffour Sr who won multiple trophies at German giants Bayern Munich.

  15. 'Rotherham need to remain compact'published at 18:33 BST 8 August

    Rotherham 0-2 West Brom

    Ronnie Moore
    Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Rotherham need to remain compact and track their runs in this second half.

    They just need to try and make life difficult for West Brom to stand a chance.

  16. 'Good start but a lot of hard work ahead'published at 18:33 BST 8 August

    West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Radio London:

    "I think we started bad. The game was hard for us to get in the flow of the game. The first minutes were hard.

    "We conceded corners, they scored. It was difficult. But the moment that we started combining, we scored and after that I think we really played good.

    "The second goal is beautiful, the combination, the beginning of the second half is really good on the offensive part and it was about understanding what the game was asking and we controlled the game until the end. It's a good victory for us.

    "It’s good to start well but realising we have a lot of work ahead of us."

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:32 BST 8 August

    Rotherham 0-2 West Brom

    Half-time change for the visitors.

    Felix Myhre replaces goalscorer Harry Whitwell. Don't think that is due to a knock, just minutes in the legs for the Norwegian midfielder.

  18. SECOND HALVESpublished at 18:32 BST 8 August

    EFL Cup first round

    West Brom and Charlton are proving too good for their opponents but Southampton are being given a hard test in Colchester.

    Will we see all three Championship sides sail through or is there a surprise upset left in the day?

    Things are beginning to come to their conclusion in our final three games.

  19. 'Far from Saints' expectations'published at 18:30 BST 8 August

    HT: Colchester 0-0 Southampton

    Jo Tessem
    Ex-Southampton midfielder on BBC Radio Solent

    Southampton haven't been good enough.

    This has been far from their expectations. It's not easy when Colchester sit back, but you've got to have tempo on the ball and be better one-on-one.

    We've seen the outlet to give the ball to Scienza or Fellows, that gets us in the box to cross it but we've got to make the runs in there, but you've got to do it with a purpose and tempo and we haven't seen that. We slow it down and when the opportunity is there to go forward with Dobbin, can you take care of the ball? No we haven't.

    With the positioning - be a bit ruthless with your players and have a word. Talk to each other and help each other. That's got to be automatic from the players.

  20. 'We were electric' - Lincoln boss Cohenpublished at 18:27 BST 8 August

    FT: Derby 1-2 Lincoln

    Lincoln City head coach Chris Cohen told BBC Radio Lincolnshire:

    “The most pleasing thing was probably the way that the way that we won, the chances we were able to create.

    “Our players went above and beyond to get themselves a really good victory, and give themselves the belief that they are good enough to complete and thrive at this level.

    “When we had the ball, we were electric, and without the ball we were just a pleasure to watch.

    “There will be lots of games where we come off a performance like that and don’t win, but we have just got to be proud of what we’re putting in on the pitch.”
