    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Brentford aren't quite the well-oiled machine they were when they went 21 league games unbeaten between October and February.

    But the west London club are resilient at the moment, as they close in on going 10 unbeaten.

    Whether they can continue that form into the play-offs is a different question altogether.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Brentford have kept four clean sheets in their past five games, and another shut-out tonight will strengthen their grip on third place in the table.

    Victory would move the Bees four points clear of play-off rivals Bournemouth, Swansea and Barnsley, who are going to jostle for position in the final two games of the campaign.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    A change in system for Rotherham leaves gaps at the back and Ivan Toney gets another chance.

    He takes on Michael Ihiekwe again and shoots across goal and wide from a narrow angle.

    Decent defending by Ihiekwe, who pushed Toney wide in the box.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Time for Rotherham boss Paul Warne to change things up.

    It's a very attacking change as centre-back Richard Wood is brought off and striker Freddie Ladapo comes on.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Emiliano Marcondes has a cross from the right cut out but the ball rebounds to the Brentford midfielder.

    He then flashes a left-footed strike across goal from a narrow angle.

    Visiting keeper Jamal Blackman didn't look too bothered with that one.

    Fejiri Okenabirhie (38 mins)

    Oh hello!

    Completely against the run of play and Doncaster are back in this. A long ball lays up nicely for Fejiri Okenabirhie who hammers it into the bottom corner.

    A win and Peterborough are up. A draw and they'll need Lincoln - currently 1-0 up against Shrewsbury - to drop points.

    Overhead kick from Rotherham wing-back Wes Harding from inside the box, but the shot lacks power and direction and David Raya scrambles across his goal to gather, with the ball heading wide.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Into the final half hour in west London, and Rotherham desperately need some inspiration and a goal.

    If the Millers lose tonight then they'll need other results to go their way to stay in the Championship.

    League One update

    Some huge goals in League One.

    Rochdale are fighting hard to stay in the third tier with Gabriel Osho doubling their lead against Wimbledon.

    Portsmouth have come from two goals down to level up against Accrington. They're back in the play-offs as things stand.

    And Blackpool have strengthened their hold on a top six finish as they've gone 1-0 up against Sunderland.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 59 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Really good save from Rotherham keeper Jamal Blackman to keep it at 1-0.

    Mads Roserslev swings in a cross from the right and Ivan Toney outmuscles Michael Ihiekwe to get a free header.

    He heads powerfully at goal from 12 yards out, but Blackman gets down to his left to palm the ball away.

    League Two update

    And now Grimsby's goalscorer Jay Matete has just been sent off!

    Remember, a loss for Grimsby and they're down if Barrow also avoid defeat.

    They Mariners lead 2-1 over Exeter with 30 minutes to go, while Barrow are winning 2-0 at Forest Green.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Brentford striker Ivan Toney is back inside his own box to flick away an inswinging corner.

    The Bees mount a swift counter-attack but the momentum dies and they are forced back, although they hang onto the ball.

  15. Cheltenham up as things standpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 27 April 2021

    League Two update

    Cheltenham are going up as things stand!

    Chris Hussey has leveled their fixture with Carlisle with a stunning free-kick. Remember, a point is enough for promotion for the Robins.

    And there's a huge goal for struggling Grimsby who have turned things around against Exeter. Jay Matete has made it 2-1 to the Mariners to take them to within four points of safety.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Another Rotherham free-kick from Ryan Giles.

    This one is lofted into the box and Richard Wood gets a head to is, but mis-cues his connection and the ball drops to Saman Ghoddos.

    Bees clear, but the visitors have turned the pressure up in this second half - albeit without carving out any real opportunities or sights at goal.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    The delivery is poor and the free-kick comes to nothing.

    It needs to be better if Rotherham are to create anything and get back into this game.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Chiedozie Ogbene wins a free-kick wide on the Rotherham right for a foul by Saman Ghoddos.

    This is a good position to swing one into the Bees box.

    Sammie Szmodics (23 mins)

    That's Peterborough up then right?

    Sammie Szmodics doubles their advantage over Doncaster. Remember, a Posh win and they'll be a Championship club next season.

    Elsewhere in League One and Portsmouth have halved the deficit at Accrington. John Marquis has made it 2-1.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    The Millers start the half on top, and David Raya does really well to claim an inswinging corner from the right from Ryan Giles.

    Rotherham midfielder Lewis Wing then gets away with a high arm on Sergi Canos on halfway.
