Episode 3 Late Kick Off London and the South East

I am Matt Tubbs. My favourite go at season was this one at home. That

was my favourite Crawley goal this Hello, I am Dan Walker. That was

Matt Tubbs' favourite golf or Crawley, but he has joined League 1

Bournemouth. All that after scoring the winner in the FA Cup on

Saturday as well. Plenty to keep us busy in the Football League: Why

Brentford's keeper nearly quit the game for good. Your mind can be

quite a mysterious thing. I was dreading games. Dagenham &

Redbridge get their survival bid back on track. It is unfortunate

because we did not expect to be indisposition. Would come's

was cheering that I had gone or if they were sorry for me.

resident regular Mr Mark Bright is joined by Gareth Ainsworth. We will

talk about what come later in the programme coroner -- Wycombe.

are working hard to try and rectify things. We begin with a man who was

looking to keep Gareth's Wycombe on Saturday. Richard Lee almost used

to get so nervous before games he almost quit the game for good. He

says the secret is all in the mind. There are things that if you do

them, you are going to feel extraordinary. It is the edge

within yourself, it is that mental, emotional edge that is waiting for

you to tap into it. When I was a kid it was such an enjoyable game,

but the mind can be quite a mysterious thing and I found myself

dreading games and dreading football. Nerves will help release

adrenalin, it will help you feel fired up for a game and you can

utilise that fantastic weapon. If you do not know how to utilise it,

it can be destructive and it can be a lonely place and a tough place to

get out of. What we do to utilise your mind? A lot of it to do his

thought processes. Something I was not aware of what I was younger was

the idea I can choose my own state. I want to feel a certain way to

give myself the best chance of playing well. You cannot play well

every game, but you can give yourself the best possible chance.

On the pitch are you going through your techniques to help you focus

on the game? The big thing during the game is to focus on the moment

and when the final whistle goes, the final whistle goes. It is

fantastic, even in his warm-up, he does his visuals and he will go

away and stand in the goal and he will picture things he wants to do

in the game. He will picture catching a cross and saving a

penalty. He takes these positive things into the game. # 1 is the

loneliest number you will ever know... #. On a match-day

previously you have spoken about criticism from the fans and dealing

with that. What is it like when you can hear the fans could be a

criticism? Did it affect you? did. Like anybody, nobody likes to

be criticised. I did not have the tools when I was younger in order

to be able to deal with that. In the last couple of years I can take

the comments in and refocus and You are 3-0 up at half-time and

cruising and you can see straight after the restart and from the

sidelines at psychologically the body language of the Brentford

players changed. It is fascinating how the scoreline affect the game.

From a personal point of view it is ensuring all information is

positive and you remember we are 3- 1 up and we are playing great stuff.

I do not beat myself up too much and I will look at the video and

look at. I can improve and I will continue to improve. In terms of

the result today and the rest of the season, what can the team to

achieve? The team now have has the play-offs and that is not

unrealistic. We are in touching distance and providing we keep the

belief we have shown today, why not? We all feel very calm and

relaxed after watching that. Do you know players who really react to

the nerves and it gets the better of them and it makes them nowhere

near as good a player as they could be? This positive thing is horses-

for-courses. Some players needed and some players do not. If he

recognises he needs that, then fair play to him. It will definitely --

it definitely worked for him on Saturday. I am a big fan of the

positive thinking thing. A is that what you do yourself to get

Gurkhas? Is it more the music you get into? I think the experience I

have got now in football I am always ready. John Beck, going back

years, was a big person into positivity and psychology. And in

the 80s Mark coups things like that. There is room for that and again,

but there is also a time for going out and playing and entertaining

the fans. Their old school is you do not need this rubbish, if you

are good, you would just play a decent game, but players are

different. Have a go at anything. Yoga was introduced at one club I

was at and the powers of positive thinking, somebody gave me that

book and I read that when I was at Crystal Palace. You take a bit out

of it. To go to bed in the heat and think positive, put all those

things in your mind before you go into a game and they are a form of

psychology. You are on Twitter and footballers have do not talk about

the most brainy items, but this is a tweet from Richard Lee. Emotions

are habitual, you will never run out of happiness, learnt to

experience a pleasant emotions every day. That does not mean

beefburgers every day. That shows you what things are going through

his mind. In his important to him, but you will also get somebody who

just goes out there and plays and whatever they see their pass and

they just enjoy the game. People think about the game differently.

Most players will run over the game in their heads for hours. It did

not go particularly well. Which diddly played well and bred but

played well. Is it not looking for Wycombe at the moment? The gaffer

let us know in the first half, for all bread because -- burka's good

work, we were very poor. The deflections were going against us,

everything was going against us. Alexander gets a brilliant hat-

trick. They have come back really strong. He has got 10 goals in 10

days. It is better for him. They think they can get to the play-offs

and have a goal this year. They are playing better football. In the

second half we got back into the game. It looked like we could have

got back into the game, but the 4th and 5th goals were absolute killers.

You can say that about every 4th and 5th goal. It was a tough game

and to sit at the bottom of the table is.... Let's have a look at

it. It is going to be a scrap and difficult to get out of their best

season. In league to eat when you are at the top you get the

deflections and you get things going for you. When you are at the

bottom, you feel everything is against you. We have got a squad of

20 and we have got to try and get out of that. Chesterfield went up

as champions and they are struggling, but they have just

started to pick up results. We are still intact, that is the main

thing. Good, positive thinking. Just two of our other teams played

in League 1. Caroline Barker and Nick Godwin can talk us through the

Leaders Charlton now have a 10. Bulford to the play-off zone below

them. It was Exeter who made the early running. Charlton might have

taken the lead sooner than they did had anyone read Johnny Jackson's

intentions. His good work went unrewarded. Benny Green was a

persistent threat down the other side, but would have been as

surprised as anyone to see his cross end up in the neck. He

claimed the goal, the keeper was so dearly at fault. It should have

been two when Bradley Wright- Phillips swept across. The Grecians

were still in bed. -- still in it. Orient's dwindling play-off hopes

suffered a setback after last week's spirited win over Preston.

Kevin Lisbie has not scored since 10th December. The game's defining

moment, the cross was turned into his own net. Kevin Lisbie's long

run was brought to a halt by Tom Eastham, but the referee declined

the penalty it. It nearly got worse in the second period. Gavin Massey

was put through on goal and did everything but score. Lee Butcher

had to be alert to do Norway -- tonight Lloyd Thames. It was not

the home side's Dave. Butcher was in the thick of it again as court

jester looked to wrap the game up, but James could not find a way

through. A few of our teams were involved in

the FA Cup. We do not have the right, so we cannot show you that.

Apart from Watford. Watch out for a flash photography. They are all

still in the hat. These were the scenes at Crawley when the fifth-

round draw was made yesterday. Last year they went to Old Trafford to

take on Manchester United. This year they take on Stoke in round

five, without Matt Tubbs. Brighton are also through to round five for

the second year in a row. They will play Liverpool at Anfield. For the

players it is going to be great. Everybody talks about Anfield and

now they have got a chance to play at Anfield. Last year the FA Cup

was a good distraction last year. It is a brilliant competition and

we are delighted to be in the 5th round. Brian is very happy. Let's

have a look at the drop panned out. You know I am a Crawley Thanh. What

I don't think any Crawley Town fan wanted Stoke City. That is a tough

game for them, the way they play. A great draw for Brighton and the

players. They used to playing at that level and with the style of

football that they play, they have got a chance. I thought Millwall

would get a result again Southampton at home. They are still

in that tie, and if they win, Bolton at home, definitely!

Statistically, Brighton, when they last reached the Cup final, they

beat Newcastle and they won away at Anfield as well. Yes,

statistically! Do you know what, listen, they play good football.

They had a good start, they dipped, now they are coming Back again.

Going to Anfield for the FA Cup is fantastic. Yes, grid. Crawley Town

and Stoke City, I think that is the one team they did not want. No

disrespect, but they think they will win. -- I think they will win.

Thanks! We almost had a full championship

While we are plugging, remember all seven regional versions of Late

Kick Off on iPlayer from Tuesday morning for seven days. If you are

an exiled fans in the South East, you can watch your regional

programme. Or watch us again! Dagenham and Redbridge are not only

battling to stay in League Two, Femi Ilesanmi also fights weekend

engineering works on the Duke to get to games. Good news is that he

has just passed his driving test! - - on the tube.

Femi, another home game, another tube journey. Yes, I am going to

Dagenham East. The scenic route! It takes me an hour and 15 minutes.

That is a long time. Is it in a different time zone? Do we have to

adjust our watches? Usually you have always got the 22 home games,

but you have passed your driving test now. -- got the tube to home

games. But commiserations because this is probably your last ever

The goal difference, three up from the bottom, what is the mood in the

dressing room? Team spirit is still high. Everybody is still bonding.

It is unfortunate because we did not think we would be in this

position. You released from QPR recently and now you are starting

every game for Daggers. What are your aspirations? I just want to

play football, man. I have done that all my love, basically. At any

level. What do you think the manager will say in the dressing

room? When it comes to team talks, I think he has got it to a tee. He

knows all of the players. Hopefully we will be on it and do him proud.

Do you realise this is the last time that you will walk into this

car park? This is a big moment. I Here comes the barley and that is

the first goal of the afternoon. -- Jon Nurse! Yes! Little flip of the

word. Abu Ogogo shoots and Daggers have the lead! Baggers defend. Alex

Revell and it is two apiece. Everybody around the penalty spot.

Scott Doe off the near post for Daggers. He skips away in the

light! -- in delight. You were a different side in the second half.

What changed? He just hit home with what he said. It is our careers, it

is us. He can do nothing when we cross the white line. It is down to

us. We just gave everything that we have got. You are just out of the

relegation zone but you are back on the underground. One last journey.

It has been emotional. Take care. I can't believe he has not got an

Oyster card! You have got some players taking helicopters to

matches at the top of the game. That shows you that some players at

the bottom end of things are finding it tough. Yes, definitely.

He probably get an earlier train to training in the morning. There is

even earlier than match days. In the days of million-pound

footballers there are still the grassroots, the Femis of the world,

earning and grafting and wanting to be a footballer and that is great.

If you are going to be an honest professional, Dagenham and

Redbridge is a good place to start. Yes. The manager instills the good

strong work ethic in his players. I was pleased to see them win as well,

especially after going 1-0 down. It was a really good game for them.

You saw the statistics. Alarming amount of shots on target and only

scoring twice for Rotherham, but Dagenham had three shots and it all

went in. It happens sometimes in some games. The important thing for

them is to avoid relegation. That is the key thing. Still plenty of

games to go. John knows that. It is up and down, just getting out of

the bottom. You came across Femi at QPR. You know him to be level-

headed. Do you think you might make it in the game? He was the youth

team player at QPR and he tried with the first team. He really held

his own and you could see the graft and work ethic in him. He is paying

his weight to be a footballer. I hope that Dagenham's stay up. --

Dagenham stay up. They are rather wrong end of the table, so just

tell me about the importance of a win at this stage in the season.

The opposition have so many chances and failed to beat you, can that

give you the kick to get you up in the league? You are always looking

for springboards and gains. That is the first win of the new year. It

has taken them out of the bottom relegation zone. But it is just

touching distance or Plymouth and Northampton behind them. They are

looking to tried Hereford and Bradford into that their own and

climb above them. -- to drag. I have been to see them at Port Vale

and they were unlucky. It was just the little things. If they can put

the little things together, they can string it together. I am

confident and I am hopeful they can stay up. When you are in that

position, as a senior player, do you think it is you and others in

the team that have to take responsibility to be more mature in

that situation and dried the younger kids into it? You use your

experience and you want the boys to follow you and do it in the right

way. But as you were saying, you have that one win, Northampton are

still in touching distance. You have to back it up, win the next

week, and the week after, then you get out of the troubles there. You

need the runs to get out of trouble. I hope that they can survive this

season and us as well. We will start our lead to -- League

Two run down at Underhill. The Barnet manager believed his

team got away with it despite a comfortable scoreline. His Elma

cleared continued his phenomenal scoring record this season. --

Izale McLeod. He was brought down in the box. After that yellow-card,

he dispatched the goal. Crewe were down to nine men after half-time.

Alan Dove Dale dismissed for that tackle. The two man advantage told

on Crewe in the end. Michael Hector made it 2-0. Barnet are up to 17th.

This match was just 45 seconds in when Ross Flitney's can us throw

out led the way for Accrington Stanley to take the lead. Michael

Smith exacted full punishment as he was on hand to tap it in after one-

yard out. Danny Jackman equalised with his 5th goal of the season.

Accrington Stanley dominated the rest of the half. Michael Smith had

some neat touches in the box before getting his second. He then turned

provider to set up Luke Joyce before showing his predatory

instincts to complete a hat-trick. Ross Flitney was substituted at

half-time. It was not a busy time for his opposite number. He

provided Gavin Tomlin with the chance to make it four to two. It

Terry Brown was generous in his praise of Aldershot, saying they

did a really good job on them. Said Brown had to be shocked to deny

this header. Anthony Straker carved want to carve open Wimbledon. He

had a bit of help and he finished with a cool attitude. Sammy Moore's

Free -- free-kick took a handy deflection. Anthony Straker put in

a second one. At the other end, Wimbledon went in search of a

winner. This effort was saved by Ross warned. -- Ross Waller. The

decisive goal was only helped on its way by the goalkeeper.

Just talking there, you are both very impressed with Barnet this

season. They have just won their 4th game in a row and they have

pulled themselves 10 points clear of relegation. That is really

important for Sanchez and the boys. Izale McLeod is leading the line

and he is in double figures the scoring definitely Andy is leading

very well. The final next week as well. -- and he is leading very

well. Let's talk about Jews saved. Do you

look around the dressing room and think that somebody might go? --

let's talk about Tuesday. Is your telephone always ringing? I don't

really need to check mine! There is always a chance. We have a couple

of players that they are doing very well and we hope to keep them but

there are always chances. I went to Cardiff at 24 hours' notice and I

helped Cardiff get promoted in 2003, I think it was. I was really

pleased. If you think back to last year, we had Fernando Torres going

for 50 million and Andy Carroll for 35 million. It has been quite quiet

this January. I don't think the managers like it. Matt Tubbs has

moved, obviously. Let's not talk about that! If the telephone rings,

let us know! Thank you for coming in. Talking about transfers, with

things changing all the time, the best place to keep up to date is on

the BBC website with our minute-by- minute update. I will be back on

today night with much of the day with a round-up of the movers and

shakers. -- Tuesday night. You can contact us on Twitter and

As we have seen, it was not a great weekend for Ross Flitney, the

Gillingham goalkeeper. It is cruel to force him to relive his football

nightmare, but we are doing it anyway! This was filmed a few weeks

ago. He was a great sport. It took us back to the moment that should

have been an Old Trafford dream M Ross Flitney, the Gillingham

goalkeeper. My night -- nightmare came and I was playing for Barnet.

We had beaten Bristol City and Plymouth in the League Cup and it

was our chance to go toe-to-toe with the very best in 90 minutes.

For my part, it was one minute and a few seconds. Looking back, I feel

I still don't think it was a red card. I thought it was going to be

a yellow, free kick. I remember the applause. I don't know if it was
