    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Town defender Ollie Turton is down getting some treatment after a clash of heads clearing a corner.

    Quite a lot blood coming from a cut on the back of his head.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Barnsley still having a bit of a go.

    They win a couple of corners in front of their small (and I would guess getting smaller) contingent of fans.

    Carlton Morris' cross-shot is hacked away from in front of the line.

    Kevan Sangster: Amazing season for Huddersfield but to be honest we’d be happy with 4th behind Bournemouth & Forest. Home second leg play off and then anything is possible!

    Chris Lowther: Great to see us (Huddersfield Town) upsetting the pundits again. A lot had us to go down this season, same as last time we got promoted. We may not be a fashionable club but we do live up to our nickname

    Kevan looks like he's got it all planned out!

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Barnsley go for the triple sub.

    Matty Wolfe, Cauley Woodrow and Domingos Quina are all off.

    Aaron Leya Iseka, Callum Styles and Isaac Christie-Davies are on. The latter is making his debut.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Better from Barnsley.

    Great switch of play from Remy Vita from left to right finds Cauley Woodrow in a good area 20 yards out.

    He brings it down well but fires his shot wide of the post.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Cauley Woodrow tees up Romal Palmer for a shot on the edge of the Town area but his effort sums up Barnsley's day and indeed season.

    Not very good.

    A Barnsley goal would at least breathe a bit of life into the closing stages of this.

    The away side get the ball into a decent area but... it comes to nothing

    We'd love to hear from fans of either side here this evening.

    Barnsley fans, where do you go from here with relegation just over 30 minutes from being confirmed?

    Town fans, could you yet end up in the shake-up for second place?

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    The body language from the Barnsley players is not a nice thing to see just now.

    There's a lot of arms being thrown up and fingers being pointed (not at the same time).

    The Tykes, with just six wins from 43 games all season, look likely to finish bottom of the table, below a Derby side who have been deducted 21 points.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 56 mins

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    OUCH!

    That's not good at all.

    Romal Palmer becomes the third Barnsley player to be booked this half for a nasty tackle on Lewis O'Brien out on the touchline.

  11. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Town open up Barnsley and big pals Harry Toffolo and Lewis O'Brien nearly link up for a lovely third.

    Toffolo cuts it back for the onrushing midfielder but he miscues his effort.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 52 mins

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Speaking of needless bookings for Barnsley players...

    Defender Liam Kitching is booked for dissent and I have literally no idea what he could possibly have been moaning about.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 51 mins

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    Matty Wolfe crunches through Jordan Rhodes on the halfway line and the Tykes man is booked.

    Understandable that Barnsley's players will be feeling frustrated but that was needless.

    That Harry Toffolo goal just before the break really knocked out whatever remaining stuffing Barnsley had.

    Town have been utterly dominant in the opening exchanges of this half and I expect that pattern to continue.

    Huddersfield 2-0 Barnsley

    We're back under way.

    Huddersfield have taken off Danel Sinani and brought on Scott High.

    Barnsley need to score three goals without reply if they're to avoid being relegated this evening...

    Pigeon at the Crucible! 'Have you ever seen anything like this?'

    I talked about Barnsley needing snookers to stay up at the start of this live text and of course not a million miles away from Huddersfield (and indeed Barnsley) the Snooker World Championships are currently being held at the Crucible in Sheffield.

    You can watch live action by clicking here or just watch this amusing video of a pigeon who found its way into the venue earlier if you'd like.

    Right place, right time for Jordan Rhodes' early goal.

    It wasn't brilliant after that but you could see that when Town do put something together they can take Barnsley apart when they want to.

    Barnsley are 45 minutes from being relegated to League One.

    Jordan Rhodes headed them into an early lead after the referee over-ruled the assistant's offside flag because the ball came into this path from a Tykes player.

    The away side did improve greatly after a sluggish start but Harry Toffolo slid in a second just before the break after some neat interplay and I would be shocked if that isn't that now.

    Really good, one-touch passing.

    It's a long way back now for a team who have only scored 31 this season.

  20. League Two updatepublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 22 April 2022

    Newport 1-0 Colchester

    Dom Telford has just scored his 26th goal of the season to give Newport the lead against Colchester on the verge of half-time.

    This fixture is the only one taking place in League Two this evening and Telford finds the net from close range inside the Colchester box.
