    GOAL: Blackpool 4-0 Birminghampublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 18 April 2022

    Jake Beesley (56 mins)

    Look away now Blues fans.

    Another Blackpool corner routine catches them out. As the ball bounces around the area, Birmingham defenders are like statues but Jake Beesley isn't.

    He reacts quickly after Callum Connolly's effort is saved by Zach Jeacock to make it four and grab his second of the afternoon.

    Blackpool 3-0 Birmimgham

    Without wishing to anger Birmingham fans any further, if it was not for points deductions, they would be in the Championship's bottom three.

    Maxime Colin came on at the break for Jordan Graham while Lyle Taylor has been denied by Chris Maxwell as he tries to pull one back.

    Blackburn 0-1 Stoke

    A big half-time team talk was required from Tony Mowbray for Blackburn. They just have not been the same team since Christmas and need a stirring 45 minutes to put pressure on Sheffield United.

  12. Injury concerns for Hatterspublished at 15:57

    HT: Cardiff 0-0 Luton

    It's not been a great half for play-off chasing Luton and to make matters worse they've lost the two Jameses - Shea and Bree - through injury.

    They have been replaced by two Harrys - reserve goalkeeper Isted and forward Cornick.

    Bree had already gone off before Shea suffered a collision with one of his own players and was not fit to continue.

    The Hatters have had it tough with injuries in the last couple of months, so it makes their results even more impressive.
