    Watford 1-0 Millwall

    Millwall making life awkward for Watford still at Vicarage Road.

    One thing I will say is, Millwall are wearing a red and white away kit today despite the fact their home kit is blue and Watford are in bright yellow.

    I'm not a fan of this.

    GOAL: Nottm Forest 1-1 Stokepublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 24 April 2021

    Lewis Grabban (50 mins)

    Forest are back on level terms thanks to Lewis Grabban, who has two goals in two now for the hosts.

    Tommy Smith and Danny Batth fail to clear the ball and Grabban's there to pounce on the loose ball and gets the better of Adam Davies.

    QPR 0-1 Norwich

    Bright start from the Canaries in a kit that reminds me of one of Bryan Gunn's early 90s goalie top specials - it's black with what looks like multicoloured fluorescent ticker-tape on it.

    Emi Buendia works a yard on the edge of the box but Seny Dieng in the QPR goal just punches it away. Very in keeping with the superhero look.

  5. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 24 April 2021

    We're back under way.

    Season-defining 45 minutes coming up for some clubs.

    Phil Brown's team talk at half-time has definitely changed. It's a gutting blow.

    Those players will have to dust themselves down and really fight for the club.

    A goal for Leyton Orient in first-half stoppage time means Southend will go down from League Two as things stand.

    An important goal at the bottom of League One, it's Will Keane with an absolute bullet header for his tenth of the season.

    Liam Richardson has been appointed manager and rightly so, it looks like he's going to be the man to make sure that Wigan stay in League One.

    The Latics are five points clear of the relegation zone with two games left to play after today.

    Cardiff 1-1 Wycombe

    Wycombe's celebrations after Joe Jacobson's goal suggest they still believe they can pull off the great escape - but it's still a huge ask from here.

    Chairboys captain Jacobson will only be thinking about his team's survival prospects for now, though in years to come he'll be able to reflect fondly on that goal.

    Jacobson is a boyhood Cardiff fan and started his career with the Bluebirds.

    Ryan Nyambe turns into his own net at the back post as Huddersfield pour forward and apply pressure on the Blackburn goal.

    The majority of clubs would have sacked and got rid of everybody but Norwich have stayed patient.

    Survive in the Premier League next year and they will be a lesson to everybody.
