Signing off
A great victory for the Blues today leaves them on the brink of safety. They aren’t quite there but they are within touching distance. A pleasing afternoon all round.
Thanks for joining us for this afternoon’s coverage, we’ll be back next weekend for the trip to Grimsby Town.

Two from Rooney, one from Richards and one from Shaw give the Blues the points.
Standing ovation
Kane Richards deservedly gets a standing ovation from the home crowd as he is replaced by Danny O’Brien.
That's that
Mahon’s cross held up by Richards who prods through to Shaw to poke home from close range. Game, set and match.
Hobson enters the fray
Craig Hobson comes on for James Alabi, who has put in a shift today.
Well deserved
Kane Richards has been excellent today and he gets his reward, chasing on to a long ball, out-sprinting Joey Taylor before bending an effort past Rodak from 10 yards. 67 minutes. Superb from Richards.
Dangerous
Ben Heneghan’s push in the back on Bakare sees a free-kick awarded. 25-yards, centre of goal.
Over the bar
Rooney fires over from 15 yards after working into space following a neat passage of play involving him and Ryan Lloyd.
Get in!
Great work from James Alabi as he outmuscles Joey Taylor on the right, making it to the deadball line before pulling it back to an unmarked Rooney who stabs home his second. Get in!
