    Omar Bogle (90+2 mins)

    Omar Bogle finds his second!

    Poor defending.

    But wait a minute ....

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:22 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Colchester 0-1 Mansfield

    We are playing nine minutes of injury time at the Job Serve Community Stadium.

    More than enough time for a couple of goals!

  3. MISSED PENALTY: Callum Camps (Stockport)published at 14:22 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Stockport 1-1 Hartlepool

    IT'S SAVED!!!

    Callum Camps beat Ben Killip with a penalty in the first half but this time around the Pools goalie gueses right and turns it away.

    He REALLY wont need to buy a drink next time he's in Northampton!

  4. PENALTY: Stockportpublished at 14:21 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Stockport 1-1 Hartlepool

    Wow!

    Can the home side put some late pressure on Northampton?!

    Bradford 1-1 Leyton Orient

    Four minutes of added time at Valley Parade.

    Bradford would just settle for the whistle now, and prepare for the play-offs.

    Stockport 1-1 Hartlepool

    Ben Killip might not need to buy a drinnk should he ever be in the Northampton area.

    The Hartlepool goalkeeper has had a fine game today.

    He saves from Callum Camps to stop Stockport retaking the lead late on and heaping a bit more pressure on third-placed Northampton.

    Sutton 1-1 Carlisle

    Joe Thompson
    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    It's an important goal because Carlisle don't want to go into the play-offs off the back of a loss to this Sutton team.

    They've got the equaliser and they are firmly in those play-off positions.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Walsall 2-1 Doncasterpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Bobby Faulkner (84 mins)

    Goals are flying in all over the place in the closing minutes.

    Bobby Faulkner has one back for Doncaster.

    A cross sailed past everyone and landed for him to blast into the top corner.

    Can the visitors find an equaliser in the final minutes?

  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Salford 0-1 Gillingham

    Into six minutes of injury time at the Peninsula Stadium.

    Salford are hanging on to their play-off spot by their fingertips.

    Tranmere 0-1 Northampton

    The away side make a double change with about four minutes to play.

    David Norman and veteran striker Danny Hylton are on.

    Colchester 0-1 Mansfield

    A HUGE chance for Will Swan to make it 2-0.

    He's clean through in the Colchester box, but he only finds the side-netting.

    Head in hands time!

  12. goal

    GOAL: Sutton 1-1 Carlislepublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 8 May 2023

    Joe Kizzi own goal (86 mins)

    There it is! Carlisle are level.

    It's harsh on Sutton and in particular Joe Kizzi who ends up diverting it into his own net.

    Ben Barclay launched the throw, Sutton didn't clear and it flicked in off Kizzi.

    All-square.

    Sutton 1-0 Carlisle

    Almost into the last five minutes at Gander Green Lane, and mid-table Sutton are going to end their season with a win as it stands.

    Carlisle remain in the play-offs but will lose the home advantage for the second leg if they don't pull this back.

    They need an equaliser for confidence reasons more than anything.

    Colchester 0-1 Mansfield

    Last roll of the dice from Nigel Clough as Ollie Clarke and Jordan Bowery are thrown on.

    The 1,350 Stags fans are encouraging their players for a huge last push.

    They need to add to Riley Harbottle's opener.

    Toby Sims (74 mins)

    The Sulphurites have found an equaliser.

    Defender Toby Sims gets on the end of a cross at the back post.

    Only a few minutes left in this one.

    Stockport 1-1 Hartlepool

    Stockport want a penalty but nothing doing!

    Akil Wright goes down in the area but the referee is unmoved.

    The Hatters MUST win and hope that Tranmere equalise against Northampton now if they are to pinch third.

    Kieron Bowie shootsImage source, PA Media

    End-to-end!

    Ethan Bristow flashes a dangerous ball across the face of goal for the home side.

    Moments later, Kieron Bowie takes aim from range for the away side and his effort flies a couple of yards over.

    Been a really entertaining match this.

    Well, certainly for me as a neutral... Not sure how much Northampton fans will have enjoyed some of it.

    They'll be enjoying the score if if it stays as it is though.

    Colchester 0-1 Mansfield

    There is definitely a carrot now for Mansfield's play-off chances thanks to that Gillingham goal at Salford.

    They need TWO goals.

    Bradford 1-1 Leyton Orient

    Ten minutes to go, and Bradford are still on course for the play-offs.

    Gillingham's goal against Salford has put them in the jeopardy with Mansfield sniffing.

    Might that quell some of the tension?
