Oliver Norwood played his last game for Coventry City at the weekend, though there was no fairytale ending as the already-relegated Sky Blues lost 4-0 to Premier League bound Southampton at St Mary\'s. The Northern Irishman has been a revelation since joining Andy Thorn’s squad in January, clocking up 18 appearances and scoring two goals. With the Championship season now over, bar the play-offs, the 21-year-old is set to return to United to discuss his future. Elsewhere, Joshua King and Robbie Brady both featured as Hull City ended their season with a 2-1 defeat to West Ham at Upton Park, consolidating an eighth placed finish for Nick Barmby’s men. The Hammers, aided by Carlton Cole’s brace, look forward to a play-off clash with Cardiff City. Scott Wootton was an unused substitute for Nottingham Forest, who beat Portsmouth 2-0, while Polish goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak missed out on Watford’s final game of the campaign, a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road. In League One, Reece Brown played another full 90 minutes as Oldham Athletic recorded a goalless draw with local rivals Bury. In total, the young defender made 19 appearances to help the Latics seal an 18th placed finish, just eight points above the drop-zone. Bebe returned to action for Turkish side Besiktas, coming on as a 68th minute substitute, as they lost 2-1 to Fenerbahce in their Super Lig play-off. John Cofie ended his successful spell with Belgian second division side Royal Antwerp with a 2-1 defeat to Standaard Wetteran. Kiko Macheda was again left out of Mark Hughes’ QPR team, which lost 6-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
