Wigan are hardly throwing caution to the wind. They have FIVE minutes to score but I've yet to see one hopeful punt into the mixer in search of a centre-half. Get it up there Uwe!

Wigan break, James Perch brings it downfield, it's four-on-four but James McClean doesn't get his head up! Martyn Waghorn was open. Absolutely open.

Into the last SEVEN minutes now...

Justin in Manchester: Charlie Austin still in with a shout of going from bricklayer to PL footballer in 5 years. Memories of Gary Taylor-Fletcher's meteoric rise following his roofing career.

James Shelton (Forest fan) Long Eaton: Not looking forward to the next week or so, I live in Derbyshire, work in Leicester and sit next to a QPR fan!

Into the last 10 minutes. James McClean wins a corner for Wigan. Jordi Gomez's effort is cleared away.

You're depressing the neutrals Steve...

Steve Claridge on BBC Radio 5 live

"How would you feel if you'd tried so hard, for so long. Only for it all to come to nothing? That's what's facing Wigan now."

Twelve minutes left for Wigan. Got to be time to pile everyone up hasn't it?

Junior Hoilett has a counter-attack and he goes for the corner to run the clock down - there's 14 minutes left Junior! A bit early for that.

Charlie Austin almost flukes a third goal straight away, mis-kicking a shot on goal from 20 yards and forcing Scott Carson into a one-handed stop. QPR will be in no rush to take this corner.

Back under way at Loftus Road.

Joey Barton leads a first-class huddle for QPR. Very Steven Gerrard-esque. 'This does not slip...'

"QPR have turned it around - and so it is now about whether after all the games Wigan have had, they can drag some energy out of somewhere and find that bit of quality to force their way back into the tie."

Wigan defender Rob Kiernan is down having some treatment as the teams stretch out and face some last-minute chat from their respective bosses.

Can Wigan find a goal? QPR are 15 minutes away from the play-off final.

Chris: Excited to see this turn around as a Derby fan, think our best chance is against QPR!

Tom, 1/2 mile from Loftus Road: I live about 1/2 a mile from Loftus Road, heard that goal before it came through on 5 live.

Wigan pushing hard down the left wing, but they've barely tested Rob Green in the QPR goal since going ahead all that time ago.

Stuart Pearce leaves Loftus Road as he prepares to take over at Nottingham Forest. Almost half-time in extra-time.

Charlie Austin is almost in for a third as Wigan open up. They have to. Manager Uwe Rosler is extremely animated down in the technical area as the rain thunders down.

You're only as good as your strikers. That's the cliché about playing in the Championship and Charlie Austin has shown his worth tonight. He's not been massively involved but he has two goals and Rangers are heading to the final as it stands.

What have Wigan got in response? They haven't got any striker on at all...

BBC Sport's Steve Claridge at Loftus Road

"There didn't seem to be anything to it - but Austin showed why he has won lots of awards and is so vital to Rangers - because he scores vital goals."
