:02:42. > :02:51.Great name, by the way. I made my debut at 24 which, in football
:02:51. > :02:59.terms, is really late. I didn't even expect to play my first season.
:02:59. > :03:07.You are very modest, mate. How did you find out you had the condition?
:03:07. > :03:17.I was 16, at the football club, and I had had the ball. As I came down,
:03:17. > :03:19.
:03:19. > :03:23.I collapsed. -- headed the ball. I remembered from this day, being
:03:23. > :03:31.carted off. 1 I woke up, did not know what had happened. It was not
:03:31. > :03:37.until I got to the hospital, and my mother said she -- I had had a fit.
:03:37. > :03:42.I said, what? When I was told I had epilepsy, that is when it kicked in.
:03:43. > :03:49.I was thinking, will I be able to play football still? I didn't
:03:49. > :03:57.wanted to affect me anyway. I went out and just got on with it. Tell
:03:57. > :04:02.me about how you treat your condition. It is simple. I have two
:04:02. > :04:08.15 milligrams twice a day, once in the morning and one in the evening
:04:08. > :04:14.at 6pm. I have it with dinner. It is as simple as that. I can't help
:04:14. > :04:20.but notice the T-shirt, "Passion, power, progress." It describes how
:04:20. > :04:25.a play. The progress with my epilepsy. It represents me. And you
:04:25. > :04:30.wear this under your skirt -- under your shirt? Yes, during games. I
:04:30. > :04:34.think it had -- I feel that it helps me. This is what I about.
:04:34. > :04:38.have seen the world of football coming together with Fabrice Muamba
:04:39. > :04:44.collapsing on the football pitch. For very different reasons. Did
:04:44. > :04:52.that bring any memories back off when you were 16? I can relate to
:04:52. > :04:55.being on the football field and collapsing and waking up. Do you
:04:55. > :05:00.believe there has ever been a time where a club has looked at you and
:05:00. > :05:08.found out that you have had epilepsy and said, maybe not?
:05:08. > :05:12.hoping not. It is kind of discrimination. I hope that is the
:05:12. > :05:18.reason, not because of what I have. I have played against teams that
:05:18. > :05:23.have actually let me go on trial, and they have said, no, not for us.
:05:23. > :05:29.I have played against these managers and one. It is a nice
:05:29. > :05:32.feeling to play against them and prove them wrong. Good to see in
:05:32. > :05:38.doing so well and positive news about Fabrice Muamba over the
:05:38. > :05:44.weekend. Do you think that incident, and some of the things we have been
:05:45. > :05:49.talking about in the light of this, will make a difference to screening,
:05:49. > :05:55.preventing this happening in the future? I hope so. It is great news,
:05:55. > :05:59.his recovery. There is a long way to go, but I was involved with the
:05:59. > :06:04.PFA for five years as chairman. I know the great work they have done,
:06:04. > :06:07.and they have started screaming scholarship players that come into
:06:07. > :06:12.full-time football. But there are a number of players that have come
:06:12. > :06:16.into the ranks, maybe from non- League, like Leon Legge, and we
:06:16. > :06:22.have some players at Charlton that have come in, and you have to test
:06:22. > :06:27.those boys. Normally, our club doctor has said that if you don't
:06:27. > :06:34.pick up a problem at 16, it is very rare to get it later. I know the
:06:34. > :06:37.people keep talking about constant screaming, but really, between 16
:06:37. > :06:41.and 21 is when you pick it up. should talk about Leon Legge
:06:41. > :06:47.because he came to the game quite late. You have seen him play
:06:47. > :06:54.recently. He is a big unit, I believe we would say. He is an
:06:54. > :06:59.inspiration for anybody out there who suffers from the same thing. I
:06:59. > :07:04.think Gary Matt Brittin was a diabetic. Football is a challenge
:07:05. > :07:09.anyway but to come in from non- League, 24, grabbing an opportunity.
:07:09. > :07:15.They won for nail, they played some excellent football against Carlisle.
:07:15. > :07:19.And back to winning ways of the weekend for Bradford. -- four 0.
:07:19. > :07:24.Their 10th on the table. Can you Their 10th on the table. Can you
:07:24. > :07:27.see them making a charge for the play-offs? They have to make double
:07:27. > :07:32.play-offs? They have to make double figures in term of home wins. They
:07:32. > :07:35.are eight points off. They have again in hand. Wheel was once the
:07:35. > :07:41.home team's to do well but I think it is going to be difficult for
:07:41. > :07:46.them. -- a game in hand. We have had a huge response to you being on.
:07:46. > :07:52.Chris, you have been at Cheltenham for 14 months. What has your
:07:52. > :07:57.biggest challenge been on the job? I had a big challenge last year, we
:07:57. > :08:03.had a really tough season. It was a tough baptism for me but I learned
:08:03. > :08:09.a lot about myself and my staff and my players. I was backed up well by
:08:09. > :08:14.the board. The key to it all was selling Carl Dickinson to Arsenal
:08:14. > :08:22.because it gave me some money because we are struggling
:08:22. > :08:26.financially. -- we were struggling. I made big changes on the playing
:08:26. > :08:30.side. I brought in a group of players that have really gelled.
:08:30. > :08:37.They really enjoy playing with the club and the supporters are happy
:08:37. > :08:40.with them. You have had a great with them. You have had a great
:08:40. > :08:46.season so far. It did not work out against Huddersfield. Jordan Rhodes
:08:46. > :08:53.scored goal number 484 of the season. You are not happy with the
:08:53. > :08:57.sending off. What happened? His 35th goal of the season. It is
:08:57. > :09:02.outstanding what he has done, and it was a penalty. And this was
:09:02. > :09:06.Darel Russell's sending off. That was the second bad tackle from
:09:06. > :09:10.Antony Kay. The first one was on Scott Wagstaff and it went
:09:10. > :09:13.unpunished. Darryl kicked out, so there was no problem I have no
:09:13. > :09:17.there was no problem I have no problem -- there is no problem. I
:09:17. > :09:21.have no problem with that because we are taught, if you retaliate,
:09:21. > :09:28.you go. I felt the player should not have been on the pitch to begin
:09:28. > :09:34.with. Three weeks ago, the gap was with. Three weeks ago, the gap was
:09:34. > :09:37.17 points. Thanks(!). It is down to nine. Is complacent and -- his
:09:37. > :09:42.complacency creeping in or have you done something differently? We have
:09:42. > :09:46.come to the business end. Everyone says that. It is true. Teams are
:09:46. > :09:50.fighting for different reasons. Maybe things that were not going so
:09:50. > :09:52.well, it is going to happen. You will have a blip. Whether people
:09:52. > :09:57.will have a blip. Whether people thought we should have had that at
:09:57. > :10:01.the start of the season, we have had a great time and we have to see

:10:10. > :10:19.are trying to find a good balance. I have not changed my team too much.
:10:19. > :10:28.It is about keeping calm, keeping our heads. We have four home games.
:10:28. > :10:34.It is there for us. It is a doddle(!). A question from Twitter.
:10:34. > :10:39."If any, which manager do you go to to ask advice?" I shouldn't really
:10:39. > :10:44.say but I have spoken to one or two. I am a fledgling manager. It is new
:10:44. > :10:47.to me. My first full season. I tried to remember what those
:10:48. > :10:52.managers are played under, Alan Curbishley, Alan Pardew, Nigel
:10:52. > :10:57.Pearson, Sven Goran Eriksson, what did they do in these situations?
:10:57. > :11:02.Ultimately, you have to look at yourself and interact with your
:11:02. > :11:08.staff. They have a role to play. Ultimately, it is about getting a
:11:08. > :11:13.group together and galvanising them. Charlton are desperate to get into
:11:13. > :11:14.the Championship next season. West Ham are desperate to get out of it.
:11:14. > :11:24.Ham are desperate to get out of it. Yet another disappointing results
:11:24. > :11:30.
:11:31. > :11:35.those were the words of exam after this one. But Burnley will be
:11:35. > :11:38.kicking themselves. Martin Berkeley opened the scoring after weaving
:11:38. > :11:42.through the West Ham defence. Kevin Nolan looked to have equalised but
:11:42. > :11:46.as he was celebrating, the officials were ruling it out for
:11:46. > :11:51.what they deemed to be a push. It got worse for the Hammers when
:11:51. > :11:56.Martin Paterson made it 2-0 before half-time. West Ham launched a
:11:56. > :12:03.fightback with a quarter of the game remaining. Two minutes later,
:12:03. > :12:13.James Tompkins equalised. A 5th successive draw leaves the Hammers

:12:19. > :12:24.four points outside automatic creative enough in this one. The
:12:24. > :12:30.Sussex side's day started unravelling late on, Sparrow took
:12:30. > :12:40.an early bath in his comeback match from suspension. Brighton succumbed
:12:40. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:49.in injury-time, Lynch capitalised on scruffy play in the penalty area.
:12:49. > :12:55.Both Watford and Ipswich needed to win to keep up the pressure for a
:12:55. > :13:00.play-off berth. Emmanuel Thomas capitalised on some slack defending.
:13:00. > :13:06.Michael Chopra was guilty of a real howler, conspiring to miss an open
:13:06. > :13:10.goal from two yards. The introduction of a substitute gave
:13:10. > :13:18.the Hornets and added edge and Shaun Murray made it count with his
:13:18. > :13:23.fifth goal for the club. The winner for Watford was all about tenacity,
:13:23. > :13:33.showing great composure to seal the win, leaving the Hornets within six
:13:33. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:39.points of the play-offs. The Palace manager said the opening

:13:49. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:55.ninth of the season for the Rams. Friedman made two changes at the
:13:55. > :14:04.break but his side went further behind. Gardner was penalised for
:14:04. > :14:13.handball. No mistake made from this spot kick. The manager praised his
:14:13. > :14:17.team for not giving up, and this bizarre goal came from a back pass.
:14:17. > :14:21.Quick-thinking Glenn lorry set up Chris Martin to score the sixth
:14:21. > :14:26.goal of his loan spell. Darren Ambrose further reduced arrears in
:14:26. > :14:33.the last minute, and the defeat means play-offs now look like they
:14:33. > :14:37.are some way off. Millwall's miserable home form
:14:37. > :14:42.continues and this time it was Leeds United who did the damage.
:14:42. > :14:48.McCormack got the only goal, helping them forget their midweek
:14:48. > :14:53.thrashing by Nottingham Forest. The Lions weren't without their chances.
:14:53. > :14:59.Alex Bruce took down another player, with this loose ball being fired
:14:59. > :15:04.into the net. Unfortunately the referee had already awarded a spot-
:15:04. > :15:14.kick. Unfortunate, because Millwall are still without a home win this
:15:14. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:31.West Ham, the slip continues. Too many draws. Draw specialists, apart
:15:32. > :15:39.from the win against Burnley. They have got nice strikers, they should
:15:39. > :15:44.probably start playing two up front, but they were drawn games. Reading
:15:44. > :15:49.is a huge game on Saturday, but five wins from the eight games, it
:15:49. > :15:55.is still in their own hands. When you think about where Brighton are
:15:55. > :16:01.now, fourth in the championship, it must be hard not to get the old
:16:02. > :16:06.dream machine going? So moving to aspire to, of course. Looking at
:16:06. > :16:13.Southampton and Norwich, they are the role models for clubs in League
:16:13. > :16:19.One, such as ourselves and the two Sheffields. You don't want to look
:16:19. > :16:24.too far ahead, but if you get this job done first, you can bring that
:16:24. > :16:29.momentum to the next season. I was at Leicester, got in the play-offs
:16:29. > :16:32.the following season, and it happens to promoted clubs that they
:16:32. > :16:38.have still got the good feeling running through the club and they
:16:38. > :16:42.can possibly go into the championship. It is the moment we
:16:42. > :16:49.have all been waiting for, sort of. We take one fan from each division
:16:49. > :16:55.to prove their club offers the best match-day experience. This might
