    "Where's the urgency from Derby? Where's the tempo? There is a play-off place at stake here. Who is going to be a hero? They're not playing to Darren Bent's strengths at all either, there's no balls being played in to space.

    "Reading are making it very difficult, with 11 players behind the ball. It's going to be tough for the home side to find a goal."

    Mick McCarthy's old club are doing his current club no favours at all!

    A three-goal swing between Wolves and Ipswich would now see Wolves in the top six after Ethan Ebanks-Landell hooks home from a free-kick. Twenty minutes left...

    Ipswich mount an attack down their left and a right old scramble in the middle can't force the ball home. Ipswich are in the play-offs on goal difference alone.

    Fikayo sobowale: Is it not obvious that Newcastle want to set a new record for consecutive losses in the Premier League.

    Adrian metcalf: If Newcastle go down Carver will have to go down as worst interim in history? Surely!

    Mark Fletcher: Toon fans were desperate to get Pardew out. They wouldn't be in this situation if he was still there! Careful what you wish for

    All eyes on Derby. The Rams know an equaliser at home to Reading will knock Ipswich out of the top six. Wolves need four goals, or for Ipswich to concede a few more, to overhaul the Tractor Boys.

    Brentford and Ipswich currently in top six.

    "Derby need to get their foot on the ball. Giving that goal away after two minutes has killed them a little bit. They need a goal and it only looks like being a scrappy one at the moment."

    Former England defender Stuart Pearce at the King Power Stadium: "Leicester came out of the blocks and got after Newcastle. They got themselves in front and turned over another quick goal on 16 minutes. Newcastle then came into the game and showed touches but they are lacking that real confidence to get hold of the game and they need to score quickly into the second half or the game will get away from them."

    Kev B from London: Re: can you call a game off on the final day of season? Yes, happened at Brighton v York in 1997 when protesting fans invaded the pitch and broke both crossbars. The game was replayed on a Thursday morning, 11am kick-off.

    Craig Stevanato: If it's abandoned it'd have to be a 3-0 win by default to Huddersfield.

  15. Blackpool protestpublished at 13:36 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Chaotic scenes at Blackpool, where around 200 fans have invaded the pitch and are staging a sit-down protest in the centre circle. There have been no reports of any trouble, with the stewards allowing the demo to continue. The referee has taken the players off and there are no signs of the game restarting anytime soon.

    The protest is against the club owners, the Oyston family, who have been the target of fans' anger throughout a dismal season, during which Blackpool have been relegated and require two more points to avoid finishing with the lowest ever points total of any team in the second tier of English football.

    James, Brentford fan: Reading have played the perfect script from a Brentford point of view. We beat them 2-0 last week, then they lost to Rotherham mid-week to relegate Wigan, so Wigan have nothing to fight for today at Griffin Park. And now they are beating Derby! Many thanks Royals!
