Episode 10 Late Kick Off Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

Listen, could that be the start of squeaky bottom time? Welcome to

late kick-off. There Chesterfield and they have been to Wembley. Lee

Clark hits out about managers. Backstage at the home of English

football. Good evening, loads and loads to

get through as usual tonight. And with me to discuss the action and

the issues. They nicknamed him the Ginger

Mourinho, it's Sheffield Wednesday's former boss Gary Megson.

And alongside him, they've never called him the blond Sir Alex, but

maybe we should. John Hendrie. But we can only start with

Chesterfield tonight. 20,000 Spireites fans at Wembley tells me

that the Johnstones Paint Trophy matters. And we were hardly going

to miss out on the party were we? Rob Jones went along for a fan's

eye view. As the clocks went forward, the people of this market

town could be forgiven for staying in bed, but this all seemed

different - the town was on the move. On most Sunday mornings

Chesterfield fans had been pretty sad with their team boss mother

League but not today because there on the way to Wembley. -- because

they are bottom of the League. It was an early start and fairly

pedestrian progress but it was all worth it as Wembley emerge. --

emerged. Most of these fans are enjoying the new Wembley for the

first time but we know a man who has a better knowledge of this home

of football. And have been here before - unlike Chesterfield. The

excitement is the same every single time. We have three hours to kick-

off and people are very happy. will win? Chesterfield! It was

incredible. Such a great day for the town and the fans. We're really

looking forward to it and we are optimistic. I have been a heat --

here few tens to watch England's but this is great to be here for

your own town. If we win here, it will be a better season than last

year. First time to the new Wembley, it is pretty impressive. Everyone

is excited and cheering. faithful have the chance to enjoy

the occasion and soak up the London sunshine has been a thought for

those who have to put a shift in. It is beautiful weather, Wembley

weather but the real action takes place in the dark recesses of the

stadium. This is where cover of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final is

produced. It is not much of their view, especially compared to these

two. This is us, ready to do the commentary for the Football League

Show tonight. Wembley final! I love the final because it gives you the

opportunity to fans who would not otherwise get the opportunity to

come to Wembley and they genuinely enjoy it. You can see them coming

along and walking along the outside, they are genuinely expected to be

here. This is the first time for both these teams to be in the final

and no means a lot for the fans. Over 20,000 Chesterfield fans took

their seat. Pleasantries exchanged, Chesterfield look to have made the

perfect start but the offside flag denied Jack Lester. I am not sure

he got that right. I do not understand why he called that off.

A debatable decision to say the least. Jack Lester was then forced

off with injury. Maybe it wouldn't be Chesterfield day. Alex Mendy has

turned it end, it is an own goal. Chesterfield have the leader.

Oliver Risser put the ball into his own net. Craig Westcarr should have

put the game beyond doubt, but the striker miscued. That could be

massive! That might have one Chesterfield the trophy.

supporters were living on their nerves before a late crowning

moment. Westcarr is true - he has his second opportunity. This time

no mistake. Chesterfield have won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy! It is

Chesterfield FC! A but now the troubles of the league can wait and

Chesterfield fans can just enjoy their day in the sun. Four

fantastic day out. Again, a well deserved. The team did brilliantly.

Swindon came back as by the second half was all us. It has been the

best state of my life, apart from getting married and divorced. I

really enjoyed it great to see the lads do it. Team organisation.

Perform in the league this season but the one today, at good work and

a good goal. I nearly bounced down to a halfway line after that second

goal. It is so good we're not going back to town to celebrate, we will

have a good celebration here. What a fantastic day. A manager John

Sheridan it is a second piece of silverware in as many years. -- for

manager. It has been a blue day and the best thing is when you walk up,

it was not a dream. It really was a wonderful day at Wembley. Do you

think just a few deserve to win? depends what you mean by deserve.

Swindon had a lot of possession but Chesterfield had the best chances

and they took them, so they deserved it. It was a great day for

the town. John Sheridan will be enjoying this, he has worked hard

for this. Absolutely. He has done well, they got promotion and a new

stadium. Now it is back to work. They have a game on Wednesday night

against Sheffield Wednesday. For me they are running out of games. They

have to get promotion sooner rather than later. There was a key player

in the second half of the game - Craig Westcarr, he was involved in

everything. If you see the first one, he had it under his feet at

the last second. In this one, one of the last block him off and

obviously you should not do that obviously you should not do that

but he got away with it. This is much more like it. He gets down and

finished it with a great deal of style. But really, he should not

style. But really, he should not have been on this pitch at that

stage. John Sheridan - I tell you what's - the next game he will not

be able to celebrate. He will have to be totally focused on the match

on Wednesday. We're talking about the league because that is what

matters to Chesterfield. Well they get abused from this? -- will they

get a boost from this? It is different because there scrapping

at the bottom of the table by looking at their fixtures, it is

difficult. It will be a big ask but it is not impossible. I bit better

than their results say? They are. - are the better. They brought the

lad clerk in from Swindon, he has gone so it has been a bit Topsy

Turvey. They are better team than the position suggests. The stuff

they did in the Cup Final is exactly what they need. It should

galvanise the club and get them together. That is that this that

Chesterfield made. Coming up - all her Football League goals from the

weekend. And who was see it BBC Radio Sheffield have their brains

tuned in on their head to head. Well, a week ago, Rotherham's Andy

Scott received his P45. Just the latest of over a dozen in the last

dozen months in our area. And with Gary here tonight, we obviously

must talk about the current spate of managerial sackings. Had he come

to terms with leaving Hillsborough? Knoll. It has happened in the past,

I do not think I have ever been sacked for results. But this one

from a personal point of view, it rankles a great deal. The

circumstances and the fact that I view Wednesday as my club. I have

supported them since I was five. When I was given the job, I was so

pleased as it was a dream come true. To lose it when things are going

well, sticks in my throat. How it is not just that it is years club

but you will position? Yes, we're more than well positioned. We

played the second half of the derby game against Sheffield gin painted

and I was speaking to Chris Evans afterwards, we will go up now. I

stopped something in 45 minutes in terms of drive and desire like that

had when I was that Sheffield Wednesday. As seriously thought we

will not get beat again this season. Two then lose your job three days

afterwards, is harsh. What we just sit there is some of the fans who

are saying, we're flying? I am one of them, I am a Wednesday supporter.

They have got better but nothing has changed. It is the same players.

Nothing has changed. In any walk of life, the sign of a good leader is

what you leave behind. I joined the club one of the 16th, I have left

under protest when it was third. I am really pleased with the job I'd

it at the football club. And even more pleased with the fact that

Sheffield Wednesday. It is given the club momentum to go forward.

are not unique in our region, Simon Grayson was sacked when the club

has done well. We had been speaking to Lee Clark as well this week and

he mentioned due. The ironic thing was that not long after I had been

relieved of my duties, Gary Megson was one of their manager's eyes

spoke to and he was one are the ones to call me up saying he was

surprised at the decision. Unfortunately, for Gary it a couple

of weeks later the same thing happened to them. I think as well

in his case, even though he created -- I created a great relationship

at Huddersfield, Sheffield Wednesday was Gary's Club, lots of

family history. His father played there. It was very special for him,

so I would imagine it was even harder for him to take. Is it the

right way to operate, so many clubs changing managers? We took the club

forward. We were constantly improving them, we were getting

automatic promotion. It owner has obviously seen something he did not

think it was right. He is said in public, I do not know the exact

word... He said he could handle the pressure. That must be frustrating

to hear someone say that about you when you played at the top level?

Possibly because we had lost the one before. I have had pressure

since I was 15, captaining the England schoolboys. I played every

week in front of 52,000 people. That was pressure enough. That is

just a flippant remark in terms of the pressure. All I can say is, he

put the current squad up for sale at the end of the season, 6-7 of

those will go up and I know already because I had been part of the

process when there has been big offers made for three or four of

them already. Clubs are watching other ones, so I know you put them

on the open market and you sell them. The chairman won't be in

SEAC 8 o'clock will make money and whether they get promoted or not?

Come the end of this season, it will be about finances. But can

they make the sort of the man's that Simon Grayson's will need. But

that most important relationship at a football club is between the

chairman and the football manager. He sounded a bit better and with

the record he had, you can hardly blame him. From my own point of

view, he was saying he needed to spend a bit of money and bring

players in. He spent a �500,000 on Jordan Rhodes and he would be worth

a lot more now. I brought and 14 loan players in seven months, but

you still need to bring in some quality. As he was saying, if they

try and sell these players they will get a lot more for them.

all these managerial sackings when clubs are doing well, is the world

going upside down? Yes, invariably, it may be happens that there is a

split between the chairman and manager and it is not really about

results. It hurts to see the league position and it seems to be

something that is creeping into football of late. Right, time for

some action. If they had not made the final, Chesterfield would have

it Sheffield Wednesday knew that a win would put it there city rivals

under pressure. Huddersfield kept up the pressure with a one-goal

victory over Charlton, courtesy of Jordan Rhodes. Scunthorpe and Notts

County played out a goalless draw. The League One table add nothing

between the teams at the top. Charlton's defeat to Huddersfield

means that they could still be caught. At the bottom, Chesterfield

now have work to do despite their We will talk firstly about

Sheffield Wednesday. The goalscorer Reda Johnson. Yes, he came to the

club as a left-sided centre-half, but since he moved to left-back, he

has scored seven goals, most of them through set-pieces. We worked

very hard done that and he is very brave and attacks at the ball.

defender Matt gets goals is a very nice, but you need a striker to get

the goals and, once again, Jordan Rhodes did it again. 35 goals this

season. Amazing. His dad was mad as a brush and if he is anything like

that M he will be nuts. But he also get a cap for Scotland this year.

There will of the cab a lot of talk about them. There has been one for

West Ham may be an forum that in the summer. Let us see what happens

if Huddersfield get up. Back into the championship. - Saturday was a

chance to repair some damage. Two did, two didn't. Neil Morrow takes

recovered from the midweek week hammering by Nottingham Forest.

Ross McCormack got the one goal which earned them a victory at

Millwall. There was an air of inevitability about the Southampton

against Doncaster match. Billy Sharp should put them ahead after

the hour and this same player scored a second. There was a

reunited between Hull city and they're all manager. Matty Fryatt

at Holyhead, but goals from Lloyd Dyer and Ben Marshall air not less

than the win. Hugs at the end, but this was a painful defeat for Hull

city the top of the championship table. Hull city and Leeds united

are or two and see places respectively away from the play-

One win in 84 Doncaster is their current run. The loss again by two

goals to Billy Sharp. Yes, that was pretty predictable. It was always

going to be a very hard game up and down at Southampton. Now, Leeds

united appear to have been doing all the right things and then the

wet and shipped seven goals against not enough for us! But they

actually write in the play-off hunt. Down to Millwall on Saturday and

they have what Ford this weekend. After the Nottingham Forest game,

they were written off by a lot of people. You like Ross McCormack?

Yes, not just because he is Scottish. He is the good player and

will always get in in front of players at the near post and his

goalscoring record this season is very good.

That is the Championship. League Two in a moment, after we turn the

tables on two of our own. BBC Radio Sheffield's Paul Walker and Andy

Giddings are used to asking the questions. Let's have some answers.

Andy, 31, sports journalist, Paul, 35, sports journalist. What you did

BBC Radio Sheffield first cornea? He had their 1861. 1967. Bramall

Lane is one of two grounds to host international football in its

Yorkshire, name the other. Who is the older club, United on

Wednesday? United. And note, a Wednesday. But movie starring Sean

Bean feature Sheffield United. Saturday comes. Which club was

formed first, Doncaster Rochester The result is 7-2. I just want to

find out who forgot the tambourines!

We finish tonight with League Two then, as Rotherham's caretaker boss

Darren Patterson took the team to Crawley, looking to make it two

wins out of two. With that, and the action from Bradford versus

well beaten at Crawley Town. Billy Clarke opened the scoring, Gary

Alexander added a second shortly afterwards and the No 17 mmac

finished the scoring. Gillingham pushed into a two-goal lead at

Bradford, with goals from Lewis Montrose and name 14 mmac own goal.

But the fight fight back began with Nahki Wells. After much discussion,

at Jamie Hanson effort was allowed to stand. One point each. Bradford

now at four points away from the Do you think Andy Scott was harshly

treated? Yes, I think so. When he was there, they had a top striker

there and that was the difference between them be any good side at

the struggling side. I think it is really unfortunate. Now, to valet

parade and Bradford. You were at their game at the weekend. Where

they unlucky or were lucky? He is, it was a lucky goal, but they were

unlucky to have the gold chopped off before that. I must admit,

there are not many referees that would have allowed a goal to stand.

But they do deserve it. At the end, Gillingham were hanging on.

Before the cocoa, time for a quick look at what is on this week.

On Tuesday, Doncaster go to Crystal Palace and they will have an ear on

what is happening with Hull's trip to Portsmouth.

Also on Tuesday, Bradford host Crawley for the very first time.

And on Wednesday evening, the rearranged game between Sheffield

United and Chesterfield. Huge for both, for very different reasons.
