    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Whoever has their finger on the goal music here at Pride Park did not notice that that Colin Kazim-Richards goal had been ruled out for offside for quite some time.

    We were nearly on to the B side by the time they cut it off.

  2. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 13:11 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Colin Kazim-Richards thinks he's put the Rams ahead, but the goal is ruled out for offside.

    The well-travelled striker tucks in the rebound after Kieren Westwood parries away Patrick Roberts' low strike from outside the box.

    Kazim-Richards was well off.

    Just another 10 goals to go. Wycombe are giving it a good go!

    I think when you just miss out, as a player, as a manager, you'll look back on certain moments in the season where you could have scored a winner, you could have done better there.

    It's bittersweet. You have that reflection period and time to process the season and think "What could I have done better?".

    Wycombe have doubled their lead and are relegated as it stands.

  4. Billy nets on his debut for Potterspublished at 13:10 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Scores from elsewhere

    Blackburn Rovers level it up at 1-1 against Birmingham City with an Adam Armstrong penalty for his 26th league goal of the season.

    Play-off bound Bournemouth are behind against Stoke City, 19-year-old Billy Forrester putting them 1-0 up on his debut.

    As it stands, Barnsley will move above the Cherries up to fifth which would make the play-off line-up Bournemouth v Brentford and Barnsley v Swansea.

    Could all change still though before full-time....

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    A big couple of defensive headers by George Edmundson deal with a cross into the Derby box and then the resulting corner.

    Adam Reach then fires over for the Owls.

    It's been a baptism of fire for Wayne Rooney.

  7. Rotherham need to score againpublished at 13:07 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    Michael Pearlman
    BBC Sport Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium

    Impossible to overstate how much Rotherham are dominating this game, they are absolutely all over Cardiff in every area and have missed a host of chances.

    They could/should be winning by more.

    If I was a Rotherham fan I'd be very worried by the fact the scoreline is only 1-0, because the performance merits more.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 0-2 Wycombepublished at 13:06 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Garath McCleary (33 mins)

    Wycombe look to be heading down on a high.

    The Chairboys get some breathing space as some good hold-up play by Admiral Muskwe sets up their second.

    The on-loan Leicester striker shields the ball, gets to the byline and cuts the ball back.

    Garath McClearly is there to get on the end of it with a scrappy finish as he stumbles onto the ball. Either way, he divers the ball in.

    Wycombe still need another 11 goals, and one for Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff.

    Rotherham are clearly up for it in their game at Cardiff.

    It's just very tense at Pride Park. The visitors have had more of the ball, but neither side has been able to register an effort on target so far.

    With so much at stake, the first goal could be absolutely crucial. Any mistake could be catastrophic.

  10. Cagey opening continuingpublished at 13:05 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Ian Woodcock
    BBC Sport at Pride Park

    About 30 minutes in and it's probably been what we expected.

    There's been a lot of challenges in midfield, a LOT of shouts of "second ball!" from Wednesday centre-back Chey Dunkley and not a huge amount of quality.

    It feels like a set-piece could be the key to breaking this deadlock.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 13:04 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    The visitors are really pushing for what could be a vital second goal.

    Cardiff keeper Dillon Phillips fails to clear a high free-kick into the box, and Angus MacDonald stabs the ball towards goal.

    But Phillips manages to recover to pull off a good save.

    Moments later, Matt Smith fires wide for the Millers.

  12. More goals in the other gamespublished at 13:01 British Summer Time 8 May 2021

    Barnsley are heading for the play-offs next week and Cauley Woodrow gave them the lead against champions Norwich City.

    But Emi Buendia quickly levelled it up for the Canaries a couple of minutes later with a header to make it 1-1 at Oakwell.

    Kristian Pedersen meanwhile has given Birmingham City the lead at Blackburn Rovers and Charlie Austin keeps on finding the back of the net to put QPR 1-0 up against Luton Town.

    And there's more goals at the Madejski Stadium where Yakou Meite has put Reading 2-1 ahead against Huddersfield Town after they had fallen 1-0 behind not long ago.

    Dan Umphray: As a Derby fan watching from Sydney, pulling the screen of my phone for updates every three seconds. Painful. Almost as painful as seeing our world-class keeper, David Marshall on the bench. Beyond confused.

    The Scotland international was dropped at the end of April, and Kelle Roos starts for the third straight game today.

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    Another big chance for Rotherham to make it 2-0 goes begging.

    Matt Crooks combines with strike partner Michael Smith.

    He races forward to meet Smith's cut-back, but then Crooks slices his effort wide.

    He really should have hit the target.

    Wycombe come close to doubling their lead.

    Jordan Archer makes a good save to tip an effort from Admiral Muskwe from a tight angle behind for a corner.

    The Chairboys have been left with too much to do to stay up, but have battled bravely in the final weeks of the campaign.

    There's goals flying in left, right and centre.

    It's what we want to see as fans, but I'm gutted that fans can't be there to see their team making history.

    Derby 0-0 Sheff Wed

    There are some tasty challenges going in at Pride Park, particularly from Sheffield Wednesday,

    Owls forward Callum Paterson has already had a couple of talking-tos from referee Mike Dean.

    Dean has kept his cards in his pocket so far. Neither side can really afford to go down to 10 men.

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    Rotherham keeper Jamal Blackman has some work to do.

    He saves an effort from Cardiff top scorer Kieffer Moore at the second attempt.

    Lee Bowyer's a fighter, it's within his character.

    He's gone in, galvanised the squad, injected some positivity and really got them defending.

    Cardiff 0-1 Rotherham

    Struggling Rotherham should be 2-0 up.

    Captain Richard Wood heads just wide of the Cardiff goal from a corner, although the centre-back was under pressure.

    The Millers are staying up as things stand, but they could do with a cushion.
