    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Birmingham

    James Garner has the City Ground on their feet with a curling effort.

    It flashes just wide for Forest. It may very well have been tipped wide by goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham City are desperately searching for a equaliser.

    Brice Samba has certainly been the busier of the two goalkeepers for the past few minutes. Ivan Sunjic is the latest to be denied by the Reds man.

    Reading 1-0 Cardiff

    Everything's going Reading's way today and a second goal would go a very long way to securing their Championship survival.

    It feels like it would be a massive fall for Bournemouth if they don't secure second place, they've been so good all season.

    But having said that Forest are hitting the run at the right time and if they do [finish second] they'll deserve it. I think they play each other second-last game, so if it gets to that point it'll be really exciting.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Birmingham

    More trickery from the 24-year-old sees him turn and nutmeg his marker before skipping into space.

    He isn't allowed to get far as Nico Gordon fouls him and goes into the book for for his efforts.

    Swansea fans have a chant for Joel Piroe, and it's quite a simple one: "No Piroe, no party."

    The Dutch forward has had two shots so far today, and both have been beautifully taken, curling efforts which have found the net.

    That's 20 goals for the season now.
