:00:12. > :00:18.second Midlands team to win promotion.
:00:19. > :00:27.And, what it's like to be a Coventry fan? The side with 46 away games in
:00:28. > :00:31.a season. Welcome to Late Khck Off. Coming up tonight: Wolves are
:00:32. > :00:34.leaving League One for a better place and they are already planning
:00:35. > :00:38.for the Premier League... ALL CHANT #ColourYellow We are going tp, I say
:00:39. > :00:41.we are going up! #ColourCyan Now we want to build on
:00:42. > :00:44.this, firstly by getting thd championship if we can, and then by
:00:45. > :00:46.really being excited about going in next year.
:00:47. > :00:50.#ColourWhite And Notts County are closer to the great escape, they are
:00:51. > :00:55.out of the bottom four. #ColourCyan It is all over at the Countx ground,
:00:56. > :01:04.a big win for Notts County. #ColourWhite CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:01:05. > :01:17.#ColourWhite We're joined as always by the Late Kick Off Supporters
:01:18. > :01:20.Crew. Also with us tonight, the Brummie whose plying his managerial
:01:21. > :01:23.trade in the Cotswolds ` a warm welcome to the Cheltenham m`nager,
:01:24. > :01:27.Mark Yates! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And with him, the biggest tweet in
:01:28. > :01:29.Football ` well, he HAS got half a million followers, ex`strikdr, Stan
:01:30. > :01:32.Collymore! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And it's party time for this week's
:01:33. > :01:34.mascots, you seen them alre`dy, helping us celebrate Wolves's
:01:35. > :01:37.promotion are Wolfie and Wendy! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. So, `fter two
:01:38. > :01:40.seasons of relegation miserx, Wolves can finally go wild. The long
:01:41. > :01:43.journey back to the Premier League may well have begun at Crewd.
:01:44. > :01:46.Ricketts slides a pass in towards Lee Evans, right hand side of the
:01:47. > :01:47.area, back to McDonald, corner of the box, deflection, goal!
:01:48. > :01:49.Ricketts slides a pass in towards Lee Evans, right hand side Kevin
:01:50. > :01:54.McDonald with a deflected shot puts Wolves in front in the last minute
:01:55. > :01:58.of the first half. McDonald forward, Edwards tries a short and oh, it has
:01:59. > :02:02.crept in, Dave Edwards has lade it 2`0 and Wolves on the verge now and
:02:03. > :02:05.they know it, one or two Wolves fans are breaking ranks but Edwards
:02:06. > :02:16.driving the ball in from thd edge of the box, surely sends Wolves to the
:02:17. > :02:19.Championship. They lead Crewe 2`0. The referee, I think, yes, he blows
:02:20. > :02:25.the whistle, Wolverhampton Wanderers are promoted. Wolves fans invading
:02:26. > :02:28.the field from all directions, embracing and lifting up thd players
:02:29. > :02:30.who have seen this immediatd recovery from the calamity of a
:02:31. > :02:48.second successive relegation last season. Wolves, with four g`mes to
:02:49. > :02:52.spare are promoted after be`ting Crewe Alexandra 2`0.
:02:53. > :02:56.So, a great day then for all Wolves fans and our reporter Nick Clitheroe
:02:57. > :02:59.was there to watch the celebrations. This was the day when their fortunes
:03:00. > :03:01.were finally going to changd. Successive relegations had knocked
:03:02. > :03:05.the stuffing out of these Wolves fans but now they knew a win would
:03:06. > :03:10.guarantee promotion and thex were determined to be there to cdlebrate.
:03:11. > :03:15.Everybody is here and we believe we are going up. Very confident, today,
:03:16. > :03:19.promotion. How confident ard you? Never been confident, it's Wolves.
:03:20. > :03:25.Nine months and 41 games have all come down to this momentous day
:03:26. > :03:32.Now, can these Wolves players take that final step? But Crewe @lexandra
:03:33. > :03:36.are also fighting hard to strvive in League One and the tension was
:03:37. > :03:38.obvious both on and off the pitch. Then with half`time approaching
:03:39. > :03:46.Kevin MacDonald's goal finally released that all that emothon.
:03:47. > :03:50.Surely now nothing could go wrong? But when you have suffered so much,
:03:51. > :03:55.it is hard to banish that ltrking fear of glory slipping throtgh your
:03:56. > :03:59.fingers. Nothing would ruin this day though, and David Edwards m`de sure
:04:00. > :04:02.the fans would get their party. The Wolves are going up!
:04:03. > :04:06.They were determined to soak up every moment of it. I have not
:04:07. > :04:10.missed a game for five and ` half years home and away. Kenny Jackett
:04:11. > :04:15.has restored pride in my cltb. Many of these players are local lads no
:04:16. > :04:18.wonder promotion means so mtch. The owners have put a lot of money in to
:04:19. > :04:22.develop an academy which can produce players who can win the club
:04:23. > :04:25.promotion and it is great for the fans to see home`grown playdrs come
:04:26. > :04:28.through and playing like thdy have done this season. We have to build
:04:29. > :04:32.on this, it is an exciting time for Wolves, and that is what I want it
:04:33. > :04:36.to be like, I don't want anxone to sit back, we have got to trx and win
:04:37. > :04:40.the league, if we can finish first, that is our aim. If you are not
:04:41. > :04:44.happy with this, then you are not going to be happy with anything At
:04:45. > :04:47.the end of the day we shouldn't have really been in this league, but at
:04:48. > :04:50.least it has been put right this season and we have been proloted and
:04:51. > :04:54.hopefully we will never see ourselves back in this division ever
:04:55. > :04:58.again. Amazing, absolutely `mazing. To sort of drag everyone up from
:04:59. > :05:02.where we finished at the end of last season and to put a young shde
:05:03. > :05:05.together, get rid of some of the dross that we had before, hd has
:05:06. > :05:07.done an absolutely tremendots job. The Championship will present a
:05:08. > :05:13.tougher challenge next season, but worrying about that can wait for
:05:14. > :05:17.another day. So, very many congratulations to Wolves f`ns. The
:05:18. > :05:20.manager, of course. Stan, promotion has been on the cards for a while at
:05:21. > :05:28.Molineux, but this is about the rebirth of a newly`built Wolves
:05:29. > :05:31.Yes, I was at Molineux when they lost 5`1 against West Brom `nd the
:05:32. > :05:34.trajectory between the two clubs, the two Black Country giants, could
:05:35. > :05:36.not have been more pronouncdd. West Bromwich Albion finished eighth that
:05:37. > :05:39.season and Wolves have had successive relegations. A lot of my
:05:40. > :05:45.friends who are Wolves fans were season`ticket holders and they were
:05:46. > :05:49.getting disillusioned. They felt there was a disconnect betwden the
:05:50. > :05:51.fans and the club, there was a lot of mess, there were disrupthons
:05:52. > :05:55.players coming out and verb`ls and all sorts. Now they have rebuilt
:05:56. > :06:05.with a manager who has given calm and stability, they have only lost
:06:06. > :06:08.five games in this division. They now have a locally`based hub of
:06:09. > :06:12.players that the fans can rdlate to and with that they can move on to
:06:13. > :06:15.bigger and better things in the Championship. They have looked at
:06:16. > :06:18.it, rectified it, the big step is for next season. And Mark, from a
:06:19. > :06:21.manager's perspective, you know success is not based upon bding the
:06:22. > :06:24.loudest of managers, becausd Kenny Jackett is calm and underrated but
:06:25. > :06:27.he has made changes that have spoken volumes. I think he was the
:06:28. > :06:33.appointment that they needed, a calm and assured way about him and he has
:06:34. > :06:36.personified that all season. Some of the decisions that he had h`d to
:06:37. > :06:39.make with bigger names going out of the club and him bringing the
:06:40. > :06:42.younger players through, but also some good younger players from other
:06:43. > :06:47.clubs who have been massive assets to them. There has been a rdal
:06:48. > :06:56.connection with the supportdrs. Let us speak to Lee. He was at Gresty
:06:57. > :06:59.Road. You are a big Wolves fan, Lee. How things have changed in ten
:07:00. > :07:02.months to the final day agahnst Brighton last season and here we are
:07:03. > :07:06.now, it is all about, I suppose trying to avoid the mistakes of the
:07:07. > :07:10.past few years. Yes, it is poles apart, we have seen the big names
:07:11. > :07:15.come in on big money and it did not work. Perhaps they got a little bit
:07:16. > :07:19.too big for their own boots. We are now going down the route of the
:07:20. > :07:22.academy with the younger kids and trying something different `nd it is
:07:23. > :07:31.working. Enjoy the summer. Definitely. Well done.
:07:32. > :07:33.Well, in the Championship, Leicester, of course, are already
:07:34. > :07:40.promoted. And the Foxes werd in action tonight at Reading.
:07:41. > :07:46.The promotion guaranteed, Ldicester have taken their foot off the gas
:07:47. > :07:56.but they were not in a charhtable mood. City managed a draw and are
:07:57. > :08:03.seven points ahead of Burnldy. Nigel Pearson's team would like to confirm
:08:04. > :08:09.that as soon as possible. Bdcoming champions, that is.
:08:10. > :08:12.OK, well, let's take a look at the other Championship teams st`rting
:08:13. > :08:15.with Derby who got a good home win against Huddersfield at the weekend,
:08:16. > :08:18.Stan. A second comeback win in a matter of days.
:08:19. > :08:21.against Huddersfield at the weekend, Stan. A second comeback win Yeah, I
:08:22. > :08:24.still think they can chase down what a ball that was by George
:08:25. > :08:27.Thorne by the way, a defence`splitting pass and Johnny
:08:28. > :08:30.Russell on the end of it. I still believe that Steve McClaren, Eric
:08:31. > :08:33.Steele that was in the studho a couple of weeks ago, they whll be
:08:34. > :08:37.thinking or certainly saying to the players, "We can catch up on
:08:38. > :08:40.Burnley, at least let us trx." I think they are safe in that third
:08:41. > :08:43.position in the play`off positions. But with games to go, they need a
:08:44. > :08:47.carrot, the players, I think that their carrot is to go and sde if
:08:48. > :08:49.they can chase down Burnley, they might not get there but it will
:08:50. > :08:54.certainly enhance their points position as they chase down a
:08:55. > :08:57.play`off place. The players will look at the eight`point gap with
:08:58. > :09:00.Burnley but I suppose it is down to Steve McClaren and Eric Stedle to
:09:01. > :09:03.make them believe it is possible but just 12 points to play for.
:09:04. > :09:07.Definitely, Derby have gone on good runs earlier this season and put
:09:08. > :09:10.four or five wins on the trot a couple of times and there is
:09:11. > :09:13.everything to play for for them Yeah, Vic, you were here last week,
:09:14. > :09:20.you are the representative for the Derby fans. You are back amongst the
:09:21. > :09:23.goals, 11 goals in the last three home games, that momentum you spoke
:09:24. > :09:26.about is starting to kick in. Yes, momentum is a very key in any
:09:27. > :09:30.promotion battle, eight points, it is not a lot, but you never know in
:09:31. > :09:33.football, so let us keep gohng for it. Do you think that home `dvantage
:09:34. > :09:40.in the second leg of the pl`y`offs is something that will be spurring
:09:41. > :09:43.the player is on? Yeah, we have a brilliant home record this season, I
:09:44. > :09:56.think that was our 12th homd victory the other week. That is going to be
:09:57. > :09:59.key. Thank you, Vic. Well, it's probably fair to say that
:10:00. > :10:02.Nottingham Forest's season has been falling apart. When this series of
:10:03. > :10:05.Late Kick Off began, they wdre fifth and still had a chance of attomatic
:10:06. > :10:09.promotion. Tonight, they ard 11th and found themselves on the end of a
:10:10. > :10:17.5`2 defeat at QPR, but they did show plenty of spirit early on, Stan
:10:18. > :10:23.Yes, but I think it has been a mess, hasn't it? You know, since we came
:10:24. > :10:26.on here, five or six weeks `go, Nottingham Forest were in a good
:10:27. > :10:29.position, a very good header there. They have a good squad with good
:10:30. > :10:32.players. They approached Nehl Warnock, nothing doing therd. Gary
:10:33. > :10:35.Brazil took over the team and now Stuart Pearce has been given the
:10:36. > :10:37.job. He is watching the gamds but will not take over until thd summer.
:10:38. > :10:41.Warnock, nothing doing therd. Gary Which is a bit strange. I thought it
:10:42. > :10:45.was a good idea to be that tntil preseason but now I am thinking that
:10:46. > :10:48.if he is going to the games, why not take over the team, get to the end
:10:49. > :10:52.of the season and then... Hd has commitments at the World Cup, of
:10:53. > :10:55.course... Go and have your two weeks at the World Cup but meantile, he
:10:56. > :10:59.can manage players and get one or two and idea as to how he w`nts to
:11:00. > :11:03.push the club forward and I think that is a little bit of a trick
:11:04. > :11:06.missed by Stuart Pearce and the Forest board. It is a legithmate
:11:07. > :11:09.question, isn't it? If Stuart Pearce is attending games, why has he not
:11:10. > :11:13.gone in the dugout, it's a puestion I asked Neil Warnock on Sattrday. It
:11:14. > :11:16.is a strange one for me. He clearly has his own reasons. Only Stuart and
:11:17. > :11:19.the club will know those re`sons and that is their own business. They
:11:20. > :11:23.were so close to the play`offs, right in amongst it really, it is a
:11:24. > :11:28.surprise that someone has not got hold of them and tried to m`ke it
:11:29. > :11:33.happen. For the players it hs a question of pride, is it not? Yeah,
:11:34. > :11:38.I think so, but the run thex have been on. Alarming really. Only
:11:39. > :11:42.Forest know what is going on. Let's move into League One `nd some
:11:43. > :11:44.good news for the City of Nottingham and arguably the comeback of the
:11:45. > :11:47.weekend which lifted County out of the bottom four and ended Port
:11:48. > :11:48.Vale's already slim chances of making the play`offs.
:11:49. > :11:50.and arguably the comeback of the weekend which lifted County out Who
:11:51. > :11:53.is it going to be this time? I fancy Myrie`Williams, it is. And hn goes
:11:54. > :11:56.the cross, flicked header, `nd it's in! It's an own goal. Notts County
:11:57. > :11:59.head in Jennison Myrie`Willhams s free kick. Here is Myrie`Williams,
:12:00. > :12:02.on the edge of the penalty `rea brings down his man but the referee
:12:03. > :12:06.doesn't blow. And Tomlin's there at the back post. Did that cross the
:12:07. > :12:09.line? It did! Port Vale lead 2` . Here's Campbell`Ryce, edge of the
:12:10. > :12:12.Port Vale penalty area. Takds it to the byline, cross goes into the back
:12:13. > :12:16.post, headed in and Notts County have got one back. Cuts inshde,
:12:17. > :12:18.great game to watch, I have to say, 12 minutes to go until half`time.
:12:19. > :12:22.Campbell`Ryce, the ball across goal, and it is in! Notts County `re on
:12:23. > :12:26.level terms. Jimmy Spencer. Enter the penalty areas, Port Vald must be
:12:27. > :12:29.careful not to give away a penalty. It is a goal, turned in by Jamal
:12:30. > :12:32.Campbell`Ryce! Port Vale cotld be caught on the counterattack. Notts
:12:33. > :12:34.County looking to kill it whth Grealish, tees up Jamal
:12:35. > :12:38.Campbell`Ryce for a fourth! And that is it. It is all over at thd County
:12:39. > :12:41.Ground, a big win for Notts County. Jamal Campbell`Ryce with his second
:12:42. > :12:44.of the afternoon, Notts County's fourth of the game. Having led this
:12:45. > :12:58.match 2`0, Port Vale fans hdad for the exit.
:12:59. > :13:03.Unbelievable game at Meadow Lane. Shaun Derry said afterwards he hopes
:13:04. > :13:06.that is the defining moment of their season, they have certainly breathed
:13:07. > :13:09.life into their survival calpaign. Yes, character, I can almost hear
:13:10. > :13:13.Shaun Derry saying after thd game, "If you can do that at 2`0 down
:13:14. > :13:16.against a team that are 14 points above you in the table, then you can
:13:17. > :13:20.do it against anybody" and that is how he will be selling it to the
:13:21. > :13:23.players and the dressing room. Young Jack Grealish, of course, on loan
:13:24. > :13:27.from Aston Villa. He had a very good game, a couple of assists there but
:13:28. > :13:31.I think he will go back to his parent club at some stage. He has
:13:32. > :13:35.done very well for Notts Cotnty and that is a massive victory, that is
:13:36. > :13:38.four wins out of the last fhve, they are certainly going in an upwards
:13:39. > :13:41.trajectory. Easy for you to say Couple of braces there, one from
:13:42. > :13:50.Jimmy Spencer, a player at June well. Yes, we took him on loan from
:13:51. > :13:54.Huddersfield a few years ago and he was superb for us in the se`son that
:13:55. > :13:57.we got to the play`off final. And I am really pleased for him bdcause he
:13:58. > :13:59.has had a slightly stuttering season. He went to Scunthorpe,
:14:00. > :14:03.didn't really pull up any trees went to the league above and he is
:14:04. > :14:06.now finding his feet but also finding a home where he is dnjoying
:14:07. > :14:10.his football and scoring go`ls. They have won six out of the last ten at
:14:11. > :14:12.home since the turn of the xear so it is encouraging form at Mdadow
:14:13. > :14:15.Lane. So to Coventry City and what a
:14:16. > :14:18.season it's been with Cov f`ns facing, effectively, 46 awax games,
:14:19. > :14:21.the latest at Peterborough. Well, we joined the long`suffering stpporters
:14:22. > :14:26.as they hit the road for thd 42nd time. Moz Baker of the Sky Blue
:14:27. > :14:30.Supporters Trust was our host. Since the beginning of the season Coventry
:14:31. > :14:32.City have been playing their home matches at Sixfields Stadiul in
:14:33. > :14:40.Northampton but for me, and for other fans, that will never be home.
:14:41. > :14:42.Coventry City should be plaxing in Coventry, we have a perfect
:14:43. > :14:51.state`of`the`art stadium, the Ricoh Arena, it was up to all the parties
:14:52. > :14:55.involved to sort it out. Thdy have not done so and we urge thel before
:14:56. > :14:58.it is too late and the club get into a position where it cannot recover
:14:59. > :15:02.from that they do something about it. The fans feel that they do not
:15:03. > :15:05.have a home`ground, they should be playing at the Ricoh Arena,
:15:06. > :15:08.unfortunately, we are playing at Sixfields Stadium which is 35 miles
:15:09. > :15:12.away. I for one will not tr`vel to Sixfields Stadium and the m`jority
:15:13. > :15:15.of fans feel the same. I will not go to Northampton and I never will But
:15:16. > :15:19.I will follow them away frol home and today, along with an arly of Sky
:15:20. > :15:30.Bllue fans, we are off to Peterborough. # We want to go home.
:15:31. > :15:39.# We want to go home. Is my local ground is down the road, we are not
:15:40. > :15:44.using it. It is inconvenient, and the principal, really. They have
:15:45. > :15:50.lost supporters in most of ly family, my husband and my
:15:51. > :15:59.daughters, and also it means that David can't go. We do go to home
:16:00. > :16:03.games but we don't go in thd ground. Most people watch and you c`n see
:16:04. > :16:16.two thirds of the pitch. Basically we are just chanting! Making
:16:17. > :16:21.nuisances of ourselves. Thex had 11,000, 12,000 attendances `t the
:16:22. > :16:32.Ricoh. It is a protest against the owners, not the club.
:16:33. > :16:45.We have arrived at the ground, about to go in. Hopefully a sky`blue
:16:46. > :16:57.victory. Hopefully we will do the business today. Chips it is and that
:16:58. > :16:58.is a goal. A powerful header into the net and Peterborough take the
:16:59. > :17:25.lead. Oh, well, didn't quite happdn today.
:17:26. > :17:35.We gave as good as we got btt just one of them. Back to the dr`wing
:17:36. > :17:42.board and at Sixfields on Friday against Swindon. I will not be there
:17:43. > :17:47.but I will be at the next away game. A lot of fans will get more and more
:17:48. > :17:53.despondent next season if it carries on like this. I don't see this
:17:54. > :17:57.situation getting any better. Slowly and slowly people are getting
:17:58. > :18:03.disheartened, thinking it is not worth it. Next season I think I will
:18:04. > :18:08.still do the same as I have done this year. How long that carries on
:18:09. > :18:11.I don't know. It is out of our hands really, as supporters, it is up to
:18:12. > :18:20.other people, particularly the owners. If you cut me I will bleed
:18:21. > :18:27.sky`blue. I will not go to ` foreign ground. I am not a quitter `nd one
:18:28. > :18:31.day I think the club will r`ise itself from the Ashes but at the
:18:32. > :18:36.moment that seems a long wax away but I can't give up, I won't give
:18:37. > :18:54.up, and I believe that hopefully the club will return the Coventry in the
:18:55. > :19:02.future. # Take me home, Ricoh.. What about the job that Steven
:19:03. > :19:09.Pressley has done. I think the timing of the deduction, he realised
:19:10. > :19:13.he had to get key players involved and on`board as quickly as he could
:19:14. > :19:18.with the likes of Murphy and Carl Baker, and what he did
:19:19. > :19:21.behind`the`scenes before thd season started, they amassed the points
:19:22. > :19:28.quickly and I think they `` he has done a really good job. Davd, first
:19:29. > :19:32.of all, the one thing that comes away from that DVT is the
:19:33. > :19:38.togetherness, the camaraderhe of the supporters. Certainly at thd real
:19:39. > :19:42.away games that is true. Gales at Northampton there is a division
:19:43. > :19:47.because only a few go into the ground, probably 15% of what there
:19:48. > :19:52.was going into the Ricoh. I will stand on the Hill myself and we have
:19:53. > :19:57.a good group up there. The crowd at away games is absolutely fantastic,
:19:58. > :20:05.you heard the cheering and chanting, everybody getting behind thd boys.
:20:06. > :20:10.The tickets go on sale for next season so it looks like you will be
:20:11. > :20:14.playing home games at Sixfidlds It is disappointing that they have got
:20:15. > :20:18.to the stage where they are selling season tickets and I don't dxpect a
:20:19. > :20:23.huge queue. It is not funny, it is tragic. The longer we continue in
:20:24. > :20:29.Northampton, the longer the future of the club is in doubt. Stdven
:20:30. > :20:34.Presley could be described of course as the Midlands manager of the year
:20:35. > :20:42.given what he has had to ovdrcome. On the Twitter forum we havd been
:20:43. > :20:47.discussing that for weeks. Dean Smith of Walsall also finishes
:20:48. > :20:57.heavily, as does Steven Pressley. Why should the Ginger Mourinho be
:20:58. > :21:01.manager of the year? Becausd he has brought in players with proven
:21:02. > :21:04.records at that level. He h`s also had no money to spend because we
:21:05. > :21:11.have a chairman who seems to want to keep the money himself basically. We
:21:12. > :21:16.have a new striker who has come through the reserves and he has got
:21:17. > :21:26.30 goals in the reserves and I think he has bags of potential to be next
:21:27. > :21:33.season's hot property. What about Gary Rowett. Very low budget
:21:34. > :21:39.compared to a lot of teams hn our league. Very solid defence,
:21:40. > :21:50.aesthetically pleasing, maybe not. But it is League two. Should Lee
:21:51. > :21:56.Clark be in the running? I think we should be higher in the table. That
:21:57. > :22:00.bucks the trend but thanks for your input. We will be monitoring your
:22:01. > :22:05.suggestions the manager of the year in Midlands and our last Late Kick
:22:06. > :22:14.Off we will be telling you what you have had to tell us. Here is a
:22:15. > :22:17.reminder of what to contact us on. Shoes Barry Town were on cotrse for
:22:18. > :22:30.an encouraging point until late heartbreak. `` shoes brewerx. ``
:22:31. > :22:40.shrews brewery. The keeper beaten by the shder pace
:22:41. > :22:46.of the former Wales international. It is Paul Parry.
:22:47. > :22:56.They went on to lose the gale against Tranmere, the second of
:22:57. > :23:12.three games. They have Crewd on Good Friday. They are on a good run of
:23:13. > :23:16.form so that was not surprising can Shrewsbury put a run of thrde or
:23:17. > :23:27.four together. It looks unlhkely to me. You have Colchester on the same
:23:28. > :23:30.number of points as Tranmerd. Old need to be looking over thehr
:23:31. > :23:33.shoulders but the teams are down the bottom because they have not put
:23:34. > :23:41.consecutive wins together too often through the season. I think old and
:23:42. > :23:50.Gillingham will be hoping that those below don't manage to do th`t. ``
:23:51. > :23:54.Oldham. Walsall had an outshde chance of the play`offs. Thdy were
:23:55. > :24:03.at home to Bristol city. It did not go their way. This penalty put paid
:24:04. > :24:09.to that. I can't wait to get in a striker that can score 15, 20 goals
:24:10. > :24:15.a season. They present `` they created plenty of chances. Xou can
:24:16. > :24:18.play all the great football you like at the confidence starts to ebb away
:24:19. > :24:24.if you are not putting the ball in the net. Missing the penaltx
:24:25. > :24:29.basically summed it up that afternoon. League two and
:24:30. > :24:37.Cheltenham, your boys did OK against Exeter. Yes, they took the lead and
:24:38. > :24:41.deservedly so but we took control of the first half eventually, scored a
:24:42. > :24:46.good goal, a bit of end to dnd in the second half and we had three or
:24:47. > :24:52.four really good chances right at the end. Disappointing. 15th goal of
:24:53. > :24:57.the season for Byron Harrison, ex`Stevenage. He is enjoying a
:24:58. > :25:09.purple patch after having a rocket put up him. It was two men having a
:25:10. > :25:12.chat. A bit more than a chat! We needed to clear a couple of things
:25:13. > :25:17.out and he didn't like one or two things being said. I took a step
:25:18. > :25:26.back, thought about it, the next day we had a chat, and he has bden
:25:27. > :25:30.brilliant since. The season has not quite gone to plan but are xou going
:25:31. > :25:36.to sign a new contract soon? Yes, this week hopefully we will get it
:25:37. > :25:42.done. It is a great club to work for and we want to be better next
:25:43. > :25:46.season. What about Burton Albion at the weekend? A moment their
:25:47. > :25:56.goalkeeper will want to forget. Yes, a poor goal that `` to concdde. I
:25:57. > :26:04.don't think he will be too happy about that. One other game to bring
:26:05. > :26:09.you and what a game, becausd it was Mansfield with the most impressive
:26:10. > :26:13.win in the region, three ` zero against title chasers Rochd`le with
:26:14. > :26:26.goals from Martin Riley and Matt Rhead and tapas elite sealed it We
:26:27. > :26:31.are playing them next Mondax, some powerful lads in their squad so we
:26:32. > :26:37.have to be careful. They ard on a really good run. I think thdy have a
:26:38. > :26:41.chance of getting into the play`offs. When you are looking at
:26:42. > :26:45.teams getting results against teams above you, it is a massive result
:26:46. > :26:50.the Mansfield. In the dresshng room they will be looking forward to
:26:51. > :26:54.playing games on the back of a decent run. They have Mark's lot
:26:55. > :27:06.next and I think they might nip in ahead of Oxford. Still an ottside
:27:07. > :27:12.chance. Burton have been on the other end of 1`0 victories this
:27:13. > :27:17.season, have they done away with their chances of a top thred finish.
:27:18. > :27:26.I think the top three will be the top three. The division is separated
:27:27. > :27:33.top to bottom by 37 points. The Championship is 54. It is a saint ``
:27:34. > :27:41.strange league. You are Burton fan, is it too much to do? I think
:27:42. > :27:48.realistically it is. A bit of a howler, the goalkeeper should have
:27:49. > :27:57.saved that. We'd probably h`ve too much to do but four at a fotr we
:27:58. > :28:01.will probably get there. I did not go on Saturday, apparently not a
:28:02. > :28:05.great performance, I hope the motivation is still there, we don't
:28:06. > :28:13.want to get too comfy in thd play`offs. We need at least one more
:28:14. > :28:17.win. That is it then for another Late Kick Off, an award`winning
:28:18. > :28:32.series. Last year's team have just been one `` awarded Regional Sport
:28:33. > :28:36.Programme of the Year. Give Mark and stand around of applause. Thank you
:28:37. > :28:44.to the supporters, Wolfie and Wendy, if you can... They have dond
:28:45. > :28:53.brilliantly as nonspeaking parts. You can see how to get hold of us on
:28:54. > :28:58.@lkomids. If you want to watch back any of the shows, it is avahlable on
:28:59. > :29:11.the BBC iPlayer later in thd week. From all of us, goodbye.
:29:12. > :29:26.Every time I see you, it's shorts and a dressing gown
:29:27. > :29:30.Oh, I've just seen your answer. OK. LAUGHTER
