    BT Sport football commentator Adam Summerton on his preparation for today's play-off match between Chesterfield and Notts County.

    He literally does bring a lot to the table.

    Game and a half at Wembley - Chesterfield and Notts County level at 2-2 with 8 minutes of extra time left. Shame one team has to lose really.

    Notts County back in the EFL.
    Made the decision to sub their goalkeeper at the end of extra time - and it paid off. Their young sub made two good saves...

    Finishes 2-1. A lot to play for in the 2nd leg.

    Another title for Man City.

    Brighton very impressive again particularly after the hammering v Everton .

    Shame their manager and players will probably be picked on by bigger clubs .

    I listened to the match commentary on the way back from the west country: sounded very impressive. Why oh why couldn't they beat neverton 3-0 and lose 5-1 to Arsenal?
    The commentary team felt that BHA could now be a "destination" for players rather than a "stepping stone". They also had three 18 year olds on the pitch and, whisper it, one of our former players scored one and made one. Exciting times ahead if they secure European football - if they miss it, then I think the vultures will come in.

    Unfortunately no doubt they will but European football might help and they will embrace it unlike other clubs .

    I think Brighton made a few changes v Everton so maybe got a bit complacent ?

    Things looking grim for Leicester - looks likely that they'll be back at The Vic next season.

    Mr Lineker probably won’t be watching Leicester on MOTD at this rate .

    Doesn’t look good for them .

    Got Newcastle next week too.

    EDIT: Sorry @Bolton's Boots !

    I guess that the departures that normally go hand in hand with relegation might mean that they'll be hanging on to Choudhury.

    Not that we could have afforded him anyway.

    From what I read, Leicester are in a financial pickle and maybe will not be able to afford him any more than we can.
