That's as far as we go here on what has been another incident-packed Saturday in the EFL.

Nottingham Forest claimed a 2-0 win over Birmingham City to go up to third and close the gap on second-placed Bournemouth to six points.

Hull City stunned Middlesbrough with a 1-0 victory on Teesside to dent Boro's play-off push.

In League One, leaders Wigan claimed a 3-1 win at Lincoln and look bound for the Championship, while Crewe lost 2-0 at Doncaster and have been relegated.

In League Two, Forest Green could only draw with Hartlepool but they stay top and Scunthorpe were thumped 4-0 at home to Mansfield and their relegation out of the league is just a matter of time now.

We'll be back at 14:45 BST tomorrow for Fulham's home game against Coventry.

A win for Marco Silva's champions-elect will send them 19 points clear of third-placed Forest.

Hope you can join us then.

Cheers!

The current managerial team and the squad of Crewe Alexandra players will look back on the 2021-2022 season as one of the worst in the modern-day history of the club.

Unfortunately the team's poor performances have led to many unwanted statistics, which are now associated to this group.

But the loss of their League One status is top of that list.

The loss of five players who featured heavily last season all moving onto Championship clubs, dreadful recruitment, long-term injuries, and the switching of systems and personnel far too often have all played a part in why Crewe are swapping Charlton for Colchester come next August.

At any other club than Crewe, with such a shocking set of results, the manager would have been fired.

But it looks pretty certain that David Artell will be handed the opportunity to lead a massive rebuilding programme - and he will need to hit the ground running in August or he may not be around to celebrate a sixth year in charge.

• Nottingham Forest beat Birmingham City 2-0 to go third in the table, six points behind second-placed Bournemouth.
• Middlesbrough's play-off hopes are dented as they fall to a surprise 1-0 home defeat by struggling Barnsley.
• Millwall thump lowly Barnsley 4-1 to close the gap on the play-off places and fellow strugglers Derby beaten 2-1 at Swansea.

• Stoke win 3-1 at West Brom and Preston beat QPR 2-1.

Nottingham Forest cruise to victory and are up to third in the table!

They are on a fantastic run and consolidate their spot in the play-off places. Can they go on a snatch automatic promotion? Their form certainly suggests they will give it a good go.

For Birmingham, there will be a lot of concern for goalkeeper Neil Etheridge after he went off with a suspected head injury.

Championship bottom side Peterborough manage to salvage a draw against Bristol City with 10 men.

The Posh still have an unlikely battle ahead to avoid the drop.

Crewe are relegated to League Two after falling to a 2-0 defeat by fellow strugglers Doncaster.

Swansea hold on for the win and they are up to 13th in the table.

Defeat in Wales compounds Derby County's relegation concerns. They remain nine point adrift of safety but have only five games left to play,

That goal was far too late for QPR as they suffer their fifth straight defeat. Their play-off hopes take another massive hit.

A chastening day for struggling Barnsley.

Millwall score four goals and they're now four pints off the play-off places with five to play.

Reading looked to be going 11 points clear of the bottom three after Lucas Joao gave the lead.

However, the Bluebirds levelled through Alfie Doughty before Will Vaulks won it for the away side.

A result that does very little for Blackburn's ailing play-off hopes.

Sub Bradley Dack thought he'd won it for the home side but his effort was ruled out for offside.

How big a result could this be in the play-off race?

Middlesbrough fall to a 1-0 home defeat by struggling Hull City and they remain two points outside the play-off places.

After that stoppage at the City Ground following Neil Etheridge's injury there will be 12 minutes of added time.

There are three minutes of added time at Swansea. Derby are to go all out to try rescue a point.

As it stands they remain nine point adrift of safety with five games remaining. Can they close that gap?

Aaron Connolly meets Jonny Howson's free-kick at the back post but heads wide as the home side look for an equaliser.

Jack Bonham makes a huge save for Stoke City, denying Andy Carroll with an acrobatic effort in goal. The ball looked destined for the back of the net.

West Brom are left painfully frustrated again.
