:00:00. > :00:11.Tonight, Reading faced Leicester City at the Madejski Stadium.
:00:12. > :00:13.The Foxes have a place in the Premier League. But who's going to
:00:14. > :00:31.join them? Welcome to Late Kick Off. All eyes on Reading tonight.
:00:32. > :00:36.Extended highlights of their key match with Leicester coming up.
:00:37. > :00:39.Royals fans desperate for a win. Bournemouth and Brighton fans hoping
:00:40. > :00:43.they don't. But a world away, survival in the
:00:44. > :00:46.Football League is at stake. A relegation special from Bristol
:00:47. > :00:51.Rovers. Plus we reveal the dark arts. For
:00:52. > :00:54.the first time on TV, what fans and the referee aren't supposed to see
:00:55. > :00:57.on the pitch. And how banging the drum for
:00:58. > :01:01.Plymouth is a lifelong dream for this rock star.
:01:02. > :01:05.Welcome to the show and welcome back to Steve Fletcher. Joining him on
:01:06. > :01:13.the sofa is former Brighton and Crystal Palace defender Gary
:01:14. > :01:17.O'Reilly. The big game tonight, Reading versus Leicester. The Royals
:01:18. > :01:20.really needing a win just to keep pace with their local rivals in the
:01:21. > :01:24.championship play-off race. The clash at the Madejski Stadium will
:01:25. > :01:27.be the main course for us tonight. But we've got some great appetisers.
:01:28. > :01:29.We start by assessing Reading's rivals. Gary, your boys Brighton
:01:30. > :01:33.have just kick-started their season in the nick of time.
:01:34. > :01:40.A day to forget for Diego Poyet. Jesse Lingard picked up the loose
:01:41. > :01:43.ball and cut through Charlton's defence. Outside the right boot
:01:44. > :01:47.gives the keeper no chance. Intelligent movement and power!
:01:48. > :01:53.Power that drives the Albion forward. Forster-Caskey creates and
:01:54. > :01:58.takes Albion's third. A good point for Yeovil. Bournemouth
:01:59. > :02:02.frustrated, though, with a draw. Kieffer Moore stands still to create
:02:03. > :02:06.his own space and slams one home to give Yeovil the lead. However, Brian
:02:07. > :02:11.Fraser gets a bit fortunate and creates his own luck. Looping in
:02:12. > :02:18.over the keeper. And again, straight in the chops, but straight in the
:02:19. > :02:22.back of the net. At the bottom of the Championship,
:02:23. > :02:27.Yeovil are off the foot. But they're still five points from safety, with
:02:28. > :02:29.four to go. As for the top, that could all change after extended
:02:30. > :02:33.highlights of Reading and Leicester, which are coming up later.
:02:34. > :02:38.Gary, let's talk about Brighton. It's changed for them in the last
:02:39. > :02:44.week why? ?? YELLOW Maybe the goal scoring boot's on the right feet. It
:02:45. > :02:47.may be something as simple as that. He had gone a little bit off the
:02:48. > :02:51.boil. You've got Mackail-Smith coming back. His influence will be a
:02:52. > :02:54.little bit weak. But he scores two against Leicester. Yet another at
:02:55. > :02:58.the weekend. When you've got a striker in form, you feel like you
:02:59. > :03:03.are going to score goals. You feel like you are going to win games. And
:03:04. > :03:06.the win at Leicester was the kind of surprise one. Getting four that
:03:07. > :03:10.night. That seemed to galvanise them a bit. You put four past a team like
:03:11. > :03:13.Lester, you start to believe maybe you can achieve something. Fletch,
:03:14. > :03:17.on paper, everyone I suppose expects Bournemouth to go to Yeovil and win
:03:18. > :03:22.no problem. So a disappointment only to draw? Well, you might say so. But
:03:23. > :03:27.I think it is a good point. We were 15th in the league over a month ago.
:03:28. > :03:31.We have had an amazing run. We played QPR, Reading and turned them
:03:32. > :03:36.both over in the space of three days. It might have took a bit of
:03:37. > :03:40.spark out the boys. But who knows? That point at the end of the day
:03:41. > :03:42.could prove vital to us. And a cracking performance against
:03:43. > :03:45.Reading. Steam-rollered them last week. Especially after the result
:03:46. > :03:49.against QPR. Fantastic to come three days later. Doing what they do best,
:03:50. > :03:55.diving header at the near post. What an impact. For Yeovil, is there any
:03:56. > :04:00.sense in which we can say maybe the pressure is coming off them a little
:04:01. > :04:04.bit? It looks a long way back for them now. But if they relax, maybe
:04:05. > :04:08.they will get a few surprise results. You would not want to say
:04:09. > :04:12.to the guys in the dressing room to relax. You've got to drive on. If it
:04:13. > :04:16.is mathematically possible, you push them. Plus you want to stay in the
:04:17. > :04:19.highest level of football possible. They get relegated, their wages get
:04:20. > :04:21.reduced. Big incentive. All still up for grabs.
:04:22. > :04:24.Still to come... Plymouth's most famous and avid fan, Bastille's rock
:04:25. > :04:25.drummer Woody joins us from California.
:04:26. > :04:28.For Reading, tonight's game is crucial for their play-off hopes and
:04:29. > :04:31.those of Bournemouth and Brighton. Extended highlights coming up.
:04:32. > :04:35.And how to bend the rules. Dark deeds at corners will be revealed.
:04:36. > :04:39.Five of our sides are still in danger of dropping out of the
:04:40. > :04:42.Football League. And the result of our featured weekend game now sees
:04:43. > :04:45.rock bottom Torquay live to fight another day. But their win over
:04:46. > :04:49.Bristol Rovers sees the Gas slide further into danger. Lewis Coombes
:04:50. > :04:53.has been to the Memorial Stadium for us. With the trap door to the
:04:54. > :04:58.Conference looming, you would think Rovers fans would be nervous going
:04:59. > :05:01.into this game. I reckon it will be a good result for Rovers today.
:05:02. > :05:05.Fine, yeah, not nervous at all. We are confident. If he scores, what is
:05:06. > :05:10.your celebration? A bottle of champers? He's buying, yeah? ??
:05:11. > :05:14.YELLOW Yeah! Thank you, enjoy the game.
:05:15. > :05:16.So, before kick-off, an air of optimism. Torquay fans, however,
:05:17. > :05:20.they seem to have accepted their fate. I think it is inevitable that
:05:21. > :05:23.we are definitely going in the Conference. It's preparing yourself
:05:24. > :05:25.for it and just enjoying the last few games of Football League, that's
:05:26. > :05:41.all you can do. For Rovers, today is a chance to
:05:42. > :05:45.pull away from the bottom. For Torquay, it is last chance saloon.
:05:46. > :05:47.Because if results went against them, Torquay would have been all
:05:48. > :05:54.but down. After a first half to forget for
:05:55. > :05:58.both sides, Torquay took the lead just past the hour.
:05:59. > :06:03.Shaquille Coulthirst headed home from close range. The goals were
:06:04. > :06:08.soon two up. Lee Mansell's deflected shot nestled in the top corner. And
:06:09. > :06:13.after having his initial shot saved, Rovers Danny Woodards tucked the
:06:14. > :06:19.ball away amid the confusion. But Torquay would hang on. For Rovers,
:06:20. > :06:23.pre-match optimism had vanished. Very disappointed. We lost to the
:06:24. > :06:28.worst team in the division. And we were awful as well. Very
:06:29. > :06:32.disappointing. I think we've got a Conference manager for a Conference
:06:33. > :06:37.team. A win for Torquay means there is just the glimmer of hope.
:06:38. > :06:39.Fantastic! I think we still have a slight chance. A glimmer is still
:06:40. > :06:45.there. Torquay fans don't ever give up hope
:06:46. > :06:49.until the end. Until the impossible, we will never give up hope. I am
:06:50. > :06:54.delighted for the lads. To give them a little bit of respite in their
:06:55. > :06:58.lives for a week. And we live to fight another day, don't we?
:06:59. > :07:02.Both managers were as honest and frank as you can be after the game.
:07:03. > :07:05.We've put their full interviews up on our Facebook site. Just go to
:07:06. > :07:10.Facebook and search for LKO South. Let's catch up with the rest of the
:07:11. > :07:13.drama at the bottom of League Two before we dissect a nerve wracking
:07:14. > :07:16.end to the season. We'll start with Portsmouth as the Pompey Trust
:07:17. > :07:19.celebrate their first anniversary in charge at Fratton Park.
:07:20. > :07:25.Three successive wins for Portsmouth. They are almost safe.
:07:26. > :07:29.Danny Hollins creates his own space at the far post smashes it home. And
:07:30. > :07:33.you can see the confidence back amongst the players. One might have
:07:34. > :07:38.gone to waste when things were not going so well. Drennan popping up on
:07:39. > :07:44.the far post. He could not miss. Simple nod home. And another Drennan
:07:45. > :07:51.was the pick of the bunch. A great diagonal, taking the shot. Back of
:07:52. > :07:54.the net. Job done for Pompey. Andy Awford challenged his players
:07:55. > :07:58.to raise their game after wins in his first two matches in charge. He
:07:59. > :08:01.was thrilled with the response. Jed Wallace with Pompey's fourth. So
:08:02. > :08:04.will Awford get the manager's job full time now?
:08:05. > :08:07.Struggling Exeter got a point against mid-table Cheltenham. Jordan
:08:08. > :08:10.Moore-Taylor popped up. Reacted better than the defenders and gets
:08:11. > :08:14.exactly what he deserves. Byron Webster, though, no more than an
:08:15. > :08:19.instinctive toe poke in the back of the net.
:08:20. > :08:24.Portsmouth are now five points clear of the drop. Wycombe lost 2-0
:08:25. > :08:27.against Newport. They join the relegation scrap with Bristol Rovers
:08:28. > :08:32.and Exeter. Torquay are seven points adrift at the bottom.
:08:33. > :08:36.But at least celebrating that victory at the Memorial Ground at
:08:37. > :08:39.the weekend. Delaying the inevitable, really, for them? Could
:08:40. > :08:43.be. But while it is mathematically possible, for fans and players and
:08:44. > :08:47.coaching staff, all clinging to the opportunity to stay in the league.
:08:48. > :08:52.But it is out of their hand. People around them have got to completely
:08:53. > :08:55.implode. Who is best equipped to actually survive the drop? Whoever
:08:56. > :08:59.takes the bull by the horns, really, isn't it? Who is mentally strong?
:09:00. > :09:02.When you are down near the bottom scrapping for your lives. Looking
:09:03. > :09:07.for maybe big players as well in there. Who could be a turning
:09:08. > :09:11.point? The only goal scorer in the bottom three of the teams is O'Toole
:09:12. > :09:15.from midfield. If he can get his goal scoring boots back on, it will
:09:16. > :09:19.be one goal either way in those games can turn your season. 15 for
:09:20. > :09:23.him this season. It is just survival football now. A lot of things go out
:09:24. > :09:28.of the window. Everything comes down to you get the result however which
:09:29. > :09:31.way you can achieve it. ?? YELLOW if you've got the right mentality,
:09:32. > :09:34.you'll have a better chance of surviving. But the reason you are
:09:35. > :09:38.down there is because you probably haven't had the right mentality. If
:09:39. > :09:42.you can bring that out of them, you have a much better chance of
:09:43. > :09:45.survival. A real dogfight down at the bottom. Loads of our teams
:09:46. > :09:48.involved. So what do you think? You can tweet me at TonyHusbandBBC. Use
:09:49. > :09:53.#upsanddowns. We will retweet some of the best ones.
:09:54. > :09:56.To the League Two race for the play-offs now. Oxford and Plymouth
:09:57. > :09:59.were going head to head at the weekend. Fletch, you spent time at
:10:00. > :10:02.Plymouth. Fans there don't want to be League Two for too long. But this
:10:03. > :10:10.was a big win for Oxford. It was. Disappointing for Plymouth.
:10:11. > :10:14.But someone of the quality of Kitson, he's going to punish you.
:10:15. > :10:19.Too good for this division, Kitson? I think so. Great skill, great feet
:10:20. > :10:23.for a big man. And that was a big moment as well. Because that is the
:10:24. > :10:27.red card for Blanchard. Plymouth about to make the triple change at
:10:28. > :10:30.that point. Is that the point they lose the game? It is really. Because
:10:31. > :10:34.the manager was probably going to change things tactically. The keeper
:10:35. > :10:37.gets a touch of that and it is an unbelievable save. And then,
:10:38. > :10:42.Constable does what he does best. Bangs it in. I am not saying that is
:10:43. > :10:44.the end of Plymouth's dreams. But they are only four points off the
:10:45. > :10:48.play-offs. ?? WHITE yeah. Gary Waddock,
:10:49. > :10:51.hopefully, starting to move Oxford in the right direction. A tough
:10:52. > :10:59.start. But Oxford go back into the top
:11:00. > :11:01.seven. And now, a massive game against York on Good Friday.
:11:02. > :11:05.Plymouth's defeat leaves them four points shy of the play-off spots. So
:11:06. > :11:09.Argyle fans have little more than hope to hang on for now perhaps.
:11:10. > :11:14.The Brit Award-winning rock group Bastille may be on their world tour.
:11:15. > :11:18.But their drummer Woody is a fanatic Argyle fan. And we've caught up with
:11:19. > :11:22.him in California. I am currently sat in our hotel room in Hollywood.
:11:23. > :11:27.Very nice. Not much Hollywood from Argyle just recently. But
:11:28. > :11:31.nevertheless, what lengths do you go to to keep up with the scorers when
:11:32. > :11:35.you are drumming all over the world? A few mediums, basically. If
:11:36. > :11:39.I am anywhere near Wi-Fi, I will try to get onto the Argyle commentary. I
:11:40. > :11:44.will get the BBC Radio Devon commentary. Failing that, it is
:11:45. > :11:52.generally following the Twitter updates of the Argyle account. But
:11:53. > :11:55.any means possible, really. And as your career and Bastille's success
:11:56. > :11:58.has grown, you have had a real roller-coaster time watching your
:11:59. > :12:02.team, though. It has been an up and down time for Argyle, hasn't it?
:12:03. > :12:07.Pretty much. I have seen them playing in every league except the
:12:08. > :12:11.Premiership, sadly. I mean, if I am really honest, I think both myself
:12:12. > :12:15.and my dad is a die-hard fan. We would have taken mid-table at the
:12:16. > :12:21.start of the season, given our past few seasons of relegation battles.
:12:22. > :12:25.But it is disappointing. And with this Oxford game just gone south,
:12:26. > :12:28.and Exeter as well. If we had won those two games, we would have been
:12:29. > :12:32.sitting pretty in the play-offs right now. Also disappointing as
:12:33. > :12:37.well, because we have kind of choked a little in front of home fans. When
:12:38. > :12:41.you are performing with Bastille all around the globe, do you ever get
:12:42. > :12:46.somebody come up to you at the end of a number and say, here is the
:12:47. > :12:50.Argyle score? When we play live, we have headphones to try and hear what
:12:51. > :12:55.we are doing. And I have live communication with the crew. Quite
:12:56. > :13:00.often, I will shout at them, what is the Argyle score? What is the
:13:01. > :13:03.cricket score? Excellent! And going back to your life following the
:13:04. > :13:12.club, what is the first thing that you remember? What was the first
:13:13. > :13:17.game that you saw? I think the first game I saw was at home to Blackburn.
:13:18. > :13:24.It would maybe have been about '93 or '92. We lost 3-2. But the kind of
:13:25. > :13:29.first full season I properly attended with my dad was 1993-1994.
:13:30. > :13:32.That was our ultimately failed play-off season under Peter Shilton.
:13:33. > :13:38.One of the great seasons. Some of the best football ever seen that
:13:39. > :13:41.year. ?? YELLOW I'd still maintain the best football I've seen was
:13:42. > :13:46.probably under Ian Holloway. I mean, we had some fantastic players there
:13:47. > :13:51.at the time. So much so, I find it kind of painful now watching updates
:13:52. > :13:54.on Saturdays. Because there is quite a lot of ex-Argyle players banging
:13:55. > :13:59.in goals in the Premiership and Championship. We could do with that
:14:00. > :14:03.now. Your career is on the up. Bastille have done brilliantly. Can
:14:04. > :14:06.your football club join you and be worldwide one day? I would say
:14:07. > :14:11.Champions' League is pretty much nailed on in the next ten years. It
:14:12. > :14:22.would be silly to bet against it, really. Champions' League for
:14:23. > :14:26.Argyle. We can but dream. And before we leave Argyle, we must mention our
:14:27. > :14:28.very own Sparksy. The BBC Radio Devon legend marked a special moment
:14:29. > :14:31.this weekend with his 30th anniversary as an Argyle
:14:32. > :14:34.commentator. His first game was the famous FA Cup semifinal against
:14:35. > :14:36.Watford at Villa Park. Who can forget that?
:14:37. > :14:39.From the Green Army to the dark arts. I'm not talking Harry Potter.
:14:40. > :14:42.This is the stuff the fans aren't supposed to see and the ref is
:14:43. > :14:46.definitely not supposed to spot. But it happens at almost every corner
:14:47. > :14:49.and set piece in every match. If you think this is a haphazard barging
:14:50. > :14:52.match, you'd be so wrong. Hours of practice go into set pieces,
:14:53. > :14:55.especially at corners. As we're about to find out, it's like a dance
:14:56. > :14:58.routine meets American football line of scrimmage. And this man, along
:14:59. > :15:08.with Ady Williams, is a past master. Have a look at this masterclass.
:15:09. > :15:14.This move is all about creating space for a free header at the front
:15:15. > :15:19.post. I drag my man forward and pretend I'm expecting the ball. When
:15:20. > :15:23.it doesn't arrive, I will turn and walk back. My team-mate starts his
:15:24. > :15:31.run. I then block his marker taking up both defenders, allowing no
:15:32. > :15:35.player a free header. -- allowing my player a free header. For this, it
:15:36. > :15:38.is all about the cell acting. You have got to con the defence into
:15:39. > :15:44.believing that you are the target. There we go. Here is the move in
:15:45. > :15:48.action against Sheffield United. No chance. Andy Hughes heading back
:15:49. > :15:56.after faking a run, blocking my man and allowing me into space unmarked.
:15:57. > :16:02.Decent header that, by the way. Practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
:16:03. > :16:06.morning, we make sure it is spot on. It is all about timing and the
:16:07. > :16:11.quality of delivery on the box. I will come to here and then turn and
:16:12. > :16:13.then you go. Come closer to me. It will work better. Ready? Same ball.
:16:14. > :16:25.Go. We will have that! It is not
:16:26. > :16:29.cheating. It is pushing it to the boundaries, pushing it to the
:16:30. > :16:37.limits, that what is it is. If the referee doesn't see it, he doesn't
:16:38. > :16:41.see it. It is a goal. Three points. One of the biggest danger men in the
:16:42. > :16:45.box is Steve Fletcher. Here is how to get a free header at the back
:16:46. > :16:49.post. This is a typical block. I am in the crowd with my defender and I
:16:50. > :16:52.will take him two yards. My team-mates are not going to move.
:16:53. > :16:56.Their movement will be when I turn back. They will come and block my
:16:57. > :17:04.man. I have taken him into the crowd, blocking him. Free header.
:17:05. > :17:07.Bang. It is all about getting the yard, just that one yard, away from
:17:08. > :17:12.your defender. In this scenario, people always say, how come the
:17:13. > :17:16.forward had a free header? There are a lot of the different situations
:17:17. > :17:19.that go on in the box unseen by the referee, probably unseen by the
:17:20. > :17:23.majority of the crowd as well, that go on before the man heads towards
:17:24. > :17:27.goal. First and foremost, my man is tight. I am going to take him in two
:17:28. > :17:31.yards, no more. I want to check back and take him into the crowd of
:17:32. > :17:34.players and they will get a block on, hopefully without the ref
:17:35. > :17:40.seeing. Secondly, I have got to keep my eye on my man in the corner. If I
:17:41. > :17:44.turn this way, I lose sight, I can't see the ball. By the time I turn,
:17:45. > :17:50.the ball could be already in the air. I have got to readjust my run.
:17:51. > :17:53.Always focus on the ball and your man. Thirdly, the timing from the
:17:54. > :17:57.corner man has got to be perfect. He has got to time it so that when I
:17:58. > :18:01.check back, he plays the ball. If he plays it too early, I will not get
:18:02. > :18:05.round back in time. Too late, the man marking me in the crowd will
:18:06. > :18:09.break free and get a challenge on me. There are a lot of scenarios to
:18:10. > :18:16.get the timing right to allow me the free header. That is how to get a
:18:17. > :18:24.yard of space for a free header. Great. Really enjoyed it. Learnt a
:18:25. > :18:27.lot. Thanks to the Winchester University football team for that as
:18:28. > :18:30.well. Now, you are shattering some people's dreams here. You are
:18:31. > :18:34.prepared to do anything, bend the rules, break the rules. Where is the
:18:35. > :18:39.line? I put somebody 5ft six so I definitely got the header in. You
:18:40. > :18:42.were always going to win! I made sure of that. It is not bending the
:18:43. > :18:45.rules, it is playing the game. It happens in every sport up and down
:18:46. > :18:49.the country. Rugby, ice hockey, whatever sport you play. It happens,
:18:50. > :18:53.it is part and parcel. If you get the yard and gain an advantage, you
:18:54. > :18:57.have got one over on your marker. As a defender, what did you do to stop
:18:58. > :19:00.it? That is why a lot of players get their shirts tugged because things
:19:01. > :19:04.like that happen and you have to deal with it. If someone is going to
:19:05. > :19:08.block you, you bash them out the way. Your job is to mark your man. I
:19:09. > :19:11.enjoyed it. Good knowledge. We have another one to come before the end
:19:12. > :19:16.of the series as well. It will be really good to see.
:19:17. > :19:17.League One now. Our teams are all but safe. But Swindon's play-off
:19:18. > :19:30.hopes are really fading. A deserved penalty, dribbling in the
:19:31. > :19:33.box. Nice defending. -- naive defending. Referee with no other
:19:34. > :19:36.option but to point to the spot. You can argue all you like, definite
:19:37. > :19:40.penalty. Michael Smith steps up. This is tame. Too easy to save.
:19:41. > :19:43.Should have been the lead, but it wasn't. But then again, Brentford,
:19:44. > :19:47.if you play around at the back and you are not any good at it, this is
:19:48. > :19:49.what happens. Louis Thompson steps up and pinches it and slides it
:19:50. > :19:53.home. Bristol City in black are all but
:19:54. > :19:57.safe in league one. Brilliant pressure from Bristol city. Forced
:19:58. > :20:05.the error out of the defender. Another penalty. Job done.
:20:06. > :20:10.Crawley are 15th after their 2-0 win at MK Dons. Bristol City 13th. In
:20:11. > :20:15.the top half, Swindon, it looks good in one perspective, doesn't it? But
:20:16. > :20:17.they are seven points shy of the play-off places despite sitting in
:20:18. > :20:21.seventh. Our recurring question about Swindon this season has been,
:20:22. > :20:24.can they make the play-offs? What do you think?
:20:25. > :20:28.Mathematically possible. However, the teams above them have got to
:20:29. > :20:31.fall apart and it is unlikely because their incentive is to be in
:20:32. > :20:35.the play-offs, to get promotions. Swindon might miss out this time
:20:36. > :20:39.around. Bristol City, they will want to take this form into next season
:20:40. > :20:43.because their fan base will expect a good season next year. Their manager
:20:44. > :20:46.would expect. Steve Cotterell is very driven, the coaching team
:20:47. > :20:50.around him, they will all be expecting to take things forward and
:20:51. > :20:52.I would expect them to deliver. Right, the waiting's over. Time for
:20:53. > :20:56.tonight's crucial Championship match, Reading against Leicester.
:20:57. > :21:01.The Royals' play-off ambitions are on the line. And their form at the
:21:02. > :21:04.Mad Stad is a cause for concern. Without a win on home turf in six
:21:05. > :21:11.games. Your commentator is John Roder.
:21:12. > :21:26.Leicester in grey. Leicester in front! It is not going to count. The
:21:27. > :21:31.flag is up on the far side. An offside position. Let us have
:21:32. > :21:43.another look. That is very close indeed. It is a tight decision but
:21:44. > :21:54.it has been ruled out. Pavel Pogrebnyak. A foul by Wes Morgan. It
:21:55. > :22:05.is in! Reding in front through Alex Pearce. Fantastic header from the
:22:06. > :22:08.central defender. That is a good sign for Reading. 20 times
:22:09. > :22:18.previously this season, they have scored the opening goal. 16 wins and
:22:19. > :22:22.four draws from the times when Reading have struck first. Alex
:22:23. > :22:37.Pearce makes room for himself and guides the ball into an area which
:22:38. > :22:38.the goalkeeper has not got covered. Excellent start for Nigel Adkins and
:22:39. > :22:51.his team. Plenty forward for the Royals.
:22:52. > :22:56.Claiming handball, Pavel Pogrebnyak. He says it struck the hand of Dean
:22:57. > :23:17.Hammond. He might have a case. He has got past the defender! How
:23:18. > :23:27.close was he there to getting a second for Reading? It comes off the
:23:28. > :23:35.feet of Kasper Schmeichel. Terrific save.
:23:36. > :23:50.Leicester pressing hard as they search for an equaliser.
:23:51. > :24:08.Driven indeed. -- in deep. Blocks. Reading cannot clear. Danny
:24:09. > :24:19.Drinkwater strikes and scores! The championship leaders are back on
:24:20. > :24:21.level terms. Danny Drinkwater. Leicester have the best record in
:24:22. > :24:29.the championship for coming back after going a goal down. Reading
:24:30. > :24:37.failing to clear the ball away. Doesn't Danny Drinkwater strike it
:24:38. > :24:41.well through the gap? You wonder whether the goalkeeper he was
:24:42. > :24:54.unsighted. He hardly moves. This might show us better.
:24:55. > :25:05.Garath McCleary on the chase. Kasper Schmeichel on the save again. So
:25:06. > :25:12.close for Garath McCleary. Amazingly, the referee has given a
:25:13. > :25:18.goal kick here. That is a definite save from Kasper Schmeichel, pushing
:25:19. > :25:31.it behind to deny Reading a second goal.
:25:32. > :25:42.Driven long towards Pavel Pogrebnyak.
:25:43. > :25:58.It is off the base of the post. The gentlest of headers. That was from
:25:59. > :26:03.Pavel Pogrebnyak. Reading again come so close to restoring their
:26:04. > :26:06.advantage. On the line, can't quite get there. Leicester saved by the
:26:07. > :26:29.upright. In Hilbert space, David Nugent.
:26:30. > :26:42.Danny Drinkwater is through -- in a little bit of space. He felt that!
:26:43. > :26:51.Nigel Pearson, what a terrific job he has done this season, guiding
:26:52. > :26:54.Leicester into the Premier League. A challenge. This is going to be a
:26:55. > :27:05.yellow card for the Reading substitute. This game is therefore
:27:06. > :27:13.either side to take. Who will rise to the occasion?
:27:14. > :27:22.I challenge. He could be in trouble here. The referee is reaching for
:27:23. > :27:26.his pocket. It is a red card and Reading will play the final four
:27:27. > :27:30.minutes plus stoppage time a man down. Booked twice, Mikele
:27:31. > :27:43.Leigertwood. We are into the last few seconds of
:27:44. > :27:48.the minimum of five minutes additional time at the end of the
:27:49. > :27:55.match. Reading with the corner. Kasper Schmeichel gets it away. That
:27:56. > :28:03.is it. Seven without a win now. Reading into the play-off places
:28:04. > :28:06.with four to play. Wigan away, Middlesbrough, Doncaster and
:28:07. > :28:12.Burnley. The table could not be closer.
:28:13. > :28:17.Reading are back in the play-off places. Bournemouth are just two
:28:18. > :28:22.points behind. Alex Pearce's tarring header not enough. With four games
:28:23. > :28:26.to go, it could not be closer. And there's just time to say goodbye
:28:27. > :28:29.to my guests, Gary O'Reilly and Big Fletch. Great as ever, guys. Late
:28:30. > :28:32.Kick Off takes an Easter break, but all the holiday action can be seen
:28:33. > :28:36.on the Football League Show. We'll be back for the vital end of season
:28:37. > :28:39.fortnight with two programmes not to be missed. Hope you can join me
:28:40. > :28:42.then. And in the meantime, all the Late Kick off shows are on iPlayer.
:28:43. > :28:44.Lots on Twitter and our facebook page. See you in a fortnight.
:28:45. > :28:49.Cheerio.
