:00:19. > :00:28.
:00:28. > :00:33.A city divided. We watch Wednesday with the man who won the club's
:00:33. > :00:40.last major trophy. Will the blades be blunted? What united be playing
:00:40. > :00:49.catch-up after the evening fixture? And Harry Houdini can sleep safe as
:00:49. > :00:52.Good evening. I had to fight my way through a very disappointed Guy
:00:52. > :00:56.Mowbray fan club outside the Late Kick Off studio tonight. He has
:00:56. > :01:01.been busy tonight at the Etihad Stadium. You're stuck with me,
:01:02. > :01:06.George Reilly, instead. Define not sufficient star quality, two
:01:06. > :01:12.managers alongside me, Dave Bassett and John Hendrie, who managed
:01:12. > :01:17.Barnsley. In fact, Dave succeeded John as Barnsley manager in 1999.
:01:17. > :01:21.No fighting, please. League One is where the drama is
:01:21. > :01:26.far sides. Wednesday started a point plus goal difference behind
:01:26. > :01:31.their city rivals. With United kicking off late, the Owls had a
:01:31. > :01:41.great opportunity to leapfrog them for only a few hours and perhaps so
:01:41. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:47.at a seed or two of doubt in their the fear city rivalry has an ever
:01:47. > :01:56.unravelling sub-plot. There is an almighty score to settle in
:01:56. > :02:06.To mark against ago, one point the difference. The pursuit has been
:02:06. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:20.relentless and the steel city is on Unbeaten in 12 matches, Griffin
:02:20. > :02:27.Park was the venue as Wednesday looked to move second in League One
:02:27. > :02:30.on Saturday. A1 promotion through the play-offs in 2005. The last man
:02:30. > :02:34.to mastermind an automatic assent was Ron Atkinson. He took them back
:02:34. > :02:41.to the old First Division in 1991, as well as winning the Rumbelows
:02:41. > :02:44.Cup. What does it take to see the job through? The key is to hold
:02:44. > :02:49.your nerve. From both points of view, but especially Wednesday,
:02:49. > :02:54.they have an experienced manager that will keep them calm. They are
:02:54. > :02:59.in good form, which is a big thing. Very importantly, they have front
:02:59. > :03:04.players that can win games. Being back in the second tier is the
:03:04. > :03:09.least Big Ron expects from one of English football's great old clubs.
:03:09. > :03:12.For me, Sheffield Wednesday are one of the biggest clubs, not just
:03:12. > :03:17.outside the Premier League, I would include it. From a club point of
:03:17. > :03:22.view and a fan base point of view, they could hold their own with any,
:03:22. > :03:27.they are potentially a top-ten Premier League club. The crowd,
:03:27. > :03:32.what has happened, heaven only knows. To be even playing at this
:03:32. > :03:37.level, of their standing, it's a joke. On the final weekend of
:03:37. > :03:42.February, Sheffield Wednesday beat United at Hillsborough. It proved
:03:42. > :03:46.to be Gary Megson's final act as manager. Milan Mandaric, whose
:03:46. > :03:52.bravery was never questioned, found that his wisdom was. But the
:03:52. > :03:56.decision to appoint Dave Jones has paid dividends. He's done excellent.
:03:56. > :04:01.It's a difficult situation. There was a lot a motion because of the
:04:01. > :04:06.fan's relationship with Gary Orr Nixon. But I think he made the
:04:06. > :04:10.right decision. -- Gary Megson. He's got them playing football. The
:04:10. > :04:15.players are more relaxed on the pitch. They are not committing
:04:15. > :04:17.errors, they just get on with it. It's a masterstroke. Not many
:04:18. > :04:21.people were supportive of the decision to Ruiz Gary Megson after
:04:21. > :04:25.the great Derby victory. In hindsight, what a great decision.
:04:25. > :04:28.He told the players to go and play an attacking way, have the
:04:29. > :04:33.confidence we knew they had. Maybe they were a little bit inhibited in
:04:33. > :04:37.the way that Gary Megson wanted us to play. Sheffield Wednesday, if
:04:37. > :04:41.they win here, they will be in second in League One for a couple
:04:41. > :04:44.of hours at least. What would he be saying to your team now? The brave,
:04:44. > :04:51.don't leave anything in the dressing room. Go and play your
:04:51. > :05:01.football. Let's not be saying if only. So, Wednesday needed bravery.
:05:01. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:09.You know what they say, fortune work with this effort. -- Jonathan
:05:09. > :05:15.Douglas found the woodwork. Wednesday struck first. What little
:05:15. > :05:20.room there was, Keith Treacey found it. It came from a former Lownie to
:05:20. > :05:23.Sheffield United. It Brentford barrage after the break. When
:05:23. > :05:29.Donaldson was felled by Mark Beevers, he picked himself up to
:05:29. > :05:34.level from the spot. The lead lasted four minutes. A right-wing
:05:34. > :05:38.corner of the faintest of touches from Llera, but it was the winning
:05:38. > :05:44.touch. It was hard out there. I said to the players, we have to dig
:05:44. > :05:48.deep. I said, we are not playing as well as we are capable of. The sign
:05:48. > :05:53.of a good team is when you can begin. I thought the penalty was
:05:53. > :05:59.harsh, but we showed good character by getting the winner. What do you
:05:59. > :06:04.do, watch, listen? I'm going to go and have a drink and see what I do
:06:04. > :06:08.from there. It's going to be some final day. I hope so. Sheffield
:06:08. > :06:12.Wednesday have done their bit at Griffin Park. A 2-1 win. It wasn't
:06:12. > :06:20.pretty, but they got over the line and took second spot, if only for a
:06:20. > :06:26.couple of hours. They had to grind out three.? Very much so. Brentford
:06:26. > :06:31.played very well. Super game, Wednesday really have to dig deeper.
:06:31. > :06:34.They had to battle and scrap. Now they are in a situation where it is
:06:34. > :06:37.possible for them to go up. It's going to be difficult, they are
:06:37. > :06:42.depending on other results. At least they know they have done
:06:42. > :06:46.their part of business. Sheffield Wednesday take second spot. It
:06:46. > :06:53.might only be for a couple of hours, but for now it is over to Sheffield
:06:53. > :06:56.Just half-an-hour after that game finished, Sheffield United were
:06:56. > :07:06.kicking off in Sheffield, knowing exactly what they needed to do to
:07:06. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:13.go second again. Paul Barnes went Sheffield United fans turned out at
:07:13. > :07:17.Bramall Lane on Saturday, knowing that two more than league wins
:07:17. > :07:22.would guide them back into English football's second tier. Just a year
:07:22. > :07:27.after suffering the pain of relegation. The man who has
:07:27. > :07:34.overseen the reversal in fortunes is, of course, Danny Wilson. He was
:07:34. > :07:39.seen as a controversial appointment at the time. His past as both a
:07:39. > :07:44.player and manager was with the blue half of Sheffield. Many fans
:07:44. > :07:48.voiced their disapproval. Wilson is aware of his past, but hopes United
:07:48. > :07:52.fans are more concerned with the present. When I first came in, it
:07:52. > :07:56.is nothing I can change, its history. I'd like to say that I am
:07:57. > :08:00.sure the fans that we have had will seek the commitment we said we had
:08:00. > :08:04.at the beginning of the season. That not only transpires in the
:08:04. > :08:08.games you play. I'd like to think some of the performance as the boys
:08:08. > :08:11.have put in this year, some of the results, some of the great
:08:11. > :08:17.entertaining games, I genuinely feel the fans are starting to
:08:17. > :08:23.believe in what we are trying to do. In an ideal world, would he like to
:08:23. > :08:26.take their neighbours up with them? Of course. Irrespective of whatever
:08:26. > :08:29.loyalties lie in the fans, what they have done, professionally, is
:08:29. > :08:35.they have pushed us to the limits. I think we pushed them to the
:08:35. > :08:39.limits as well, in footballing terms. If we could, in an ideal
:08:39. > :08:42.world, get promoted together, it would be brilliant if we had this
:08:43. > :08:47.type of inspiration in the next league. If it's happening that way,
:08:47. > :08:52.it is going to drive the results on. That would be good for the city.
:08:52. > :08:56.months have passed since Wilson took over. I United fans now
:08:56. > :09:01.adopting him as one of their own? was apprehensive when he arrived,
:09:01. > :09:05.being a Wednesday manager. But he's done well. You can't argue with the
:09:05. > :09:09.position the club is in. He's turning into a hero. If he can get
:09:09. > :09:14.has promoted, he definitely will be. When he arrived, I wasn't too keen.
:09:14. > :09:18.But he's done brilliant. Fantastic football, we'd been excellent. Toby
:09:18. > :09:23.we can do it today. It didn't really bother me. I know his past,
:09:23. > :09:28.playing for Sheffield Wednesday, I just wanted him to bring a good
:09:28. > :09:33.standard of play and he has. Very sceptical at the time. Big links
:09:33. > :09:38.with Wednesday. He played for them, he managed them. But he's done well.
:09:38. > :09:43.He'd done good. Initially, a very bad move. I've warmed to him a
:09:43. > :09:51.little bit more. If we go up, he'll be the best thing since sliced
:09:51. > :09:54.bread. I think they are enjoying the football. We wanted people to
:09:54. > :09:59.come to football games and enjoy what they are seeing, hopefully see
:09:59. > :10:02.a winning team as well. In that respect, if you've turned their
:10:02. > :10:07.attitude around slightly, great. I think we are going in the right
:10:07. > :10:11.direction if that happens. A sell- out crowd to cheer it on united in
:10:11. > :10:14.anticipation of a vital home win. But Stevenage silenced the home
:10:14. > :10:20.supporters with the opening goal after 30 minutes. Jill Byron
:10:20. > :10:24.connected with Patrick Agyeman's cross. Worse was to come in the
:10:24. > :10:34.second half, A Scott Laird deflected shot found the back of
:10:34. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:41.one back with this neat header to give United a glimmer of hope. And
:10:41. > :10:47.with five minutes remaining, the comeback was almost complete. Mark
:10:47. > :10:50.Oaten's a terrific volley squared the game at 2-2. James Beattie
:10:50. > :10:56.almost won it in stoppage time to complete a thrilling end to the
:10:56. > :11:01.match. But it was not to be, as both sides had to settle for a
:11:01. > :11:06.point. United have a tough task to gain automatic promotion. Very
:11:07. > :11:11.disappointing. The second half, we got at them a bit more and got Tim
:11:11. > :11:17.goals. But it was a little too late. There is a lot of football still to
:11:17. > :11:22.go, a lot of things can happen. We will be going into the game next
:11:22. > :11:27.week ready to take the three points. Next week, who knows what happens?
:11:27. > :11:31.Whom would have thought it would be too-to today? You just don't know.
:11:31. > :11:36.We try to keep focused on our job, try to win at Exeter next week. You
:11:36. > :11:40.just never know. If we have to go to the play-offs, we go to the
:11:40. > :11:44.play-offs. It's a great way to go up, if you go up. Ideally, you
:11:44. > :11:49.would like to be automatic. It's not going to be that, we stay
:11:49. > :11:52.positive and go the other way. Danny Wilson's side dropping vital
:11:52. > :11:56.points at home to Stevenage, the race for the second automatic
:11:56. > :11:59.promotion spot is now out of their hands. Sheffield Wednesday host
:11:59. > :12:03.Wigan, knowing that three points will see them return to the
:12:03. > :12:13.championship. In a season that has ebbed and flowed from start to
:12:13. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:23.finish, who knows what might leaves the top of League 1. It is
:12:23. > :12:33.narrow Wednesday from United by a single point. The impetus is with
:12:33. > :12:36.Dave Jones came in, at the time a massive call from Milan Mandaric,
:12:36. > :12:42.removing a manager who had his team third and he has come here and
:12:42. > :12:46.antique has been almost faultless? Yes, it has come after a good time
:12:46. > :12:51.because normally managers gets sacked when you are down the bottom
:12:51. > :12:57.of the league! He has kept the momentum going, increased it, they
:12:57. > :13:03.have kept car in their performances. I was at Brentford on Saturday and
:13:03. > :13:06.Lady Luck was with them. Brentford pass the ball better and had better
:13:06. > :13:10.chances but sometimes when these things happen, the important thing
:13:10. > :13:14.is when you look back their right games that you win there and you do
:13:14. > :13:20.not deserve to which perhaps makes up for things earlier in the season
:13:20. > :13:26.when Wednesday perhaps deserve to win. It looked like lunacy but 29
:13:26. > :13:32.points in 11 games since. Decent choice in hindsight. Yes. He has
:13:32. > :13:37.come in and relax these players. That is what Dave Jones is about.
:13:37. > :13:43.He is calmness personified. Whatever will be will they. He has
:13:43. > :13:48.prepared his players for this weekend and that is important. No
:13:48. > :13:52.distractions going into Saturday's game against Wycombe. But they need
:13:52. > :13:56.a bit of luck as well. We saw there with United. Very unfortunate. They
:13:56. > :14:02.got a couple of deflections there against Stevenage. You need a bit
:14:02. > :14:06.of luck as well. I am sure that during the course of Saturday the
:14:06. > :14:09.pendulum may swing to on one will two occasions. Listening to
:14:09. > :14:13.Sheffield United, the manager and players, they were a bit shell-
:14:13. > :14:18.shocked from the results but the body language was not great. They
:14:18. > :14:23.were disappointed because they have been up there and they wear
:14:23. > :14:28.expecting to get enough points out of Milton Keynes and to beat
:14:28. > :14:33.Stevenage. When you see it at this late stage you see destiny is not
:14:33. > :14:37.in their hands. They will not want to go into the play-offs. But
:14:37. > :14:43.they're experienced players. If it happens, they have got to go out
:14:43. > :14:48.against Exeter and win the game. They could have almost won that
:14:48. > :14:54.with James Beattie there. They almost got out of jail BET. Yes, he
:14:54. > :14:58.hit it. That could easily have flown in the net. They did not
:14:58. > :15:02.start as brightly as they wanted to. There are 2-0 down at half-time but
:15:02. > :15:07.they showed good spirit. What they can do is beat Exeter and then it
:15:07. > :15:11.is up to Wednesday to win. Football does change and if they end up in
:15:11. > :15:15.the play-offs, they have got to look at it and say, well, we are
:15:15. > :15:19.still in the play-offs. They might have settled for that at the start
:15:19. > :15:25.of the season. They must not let the disappointment of possibly
:15:25. > :15:29.having automatic promotion take away from them. It is still
:15:29. > :15:34.unsettling and how important has losing their star striker bit. This
:15:34. > :15:39.is the match-day programme. He doesn't exist, Ched Evans. There is
:15:39. > :15:44.no number 9. Yes, I do not know who made that decision to take his name
:15:44. > :15:49.off. He has played the part -- his pot this year with the goals he has
:15:49. > :15:53.scored. If United do not make it I am sure our lot of supporters will
:15:53. > :16:00.use that as an excuse. Let's remind ourselves of the picture still to
:16:00. > :16:06.come for bedsides. Wednesday at home to Wycombe. An away game for
:16:06. > :16:13.Sheffield United. What is your gut instincts? The ball is in Sheffield
:16:13. > :16:19.Wednesday's McCourt. All three points would see them over the line.
:16:19. > :16:24.Still to come. What is the future for Nick Barmby at Hull City? After
:16:24. > :16:33.his suspension. And will be O'Dea killed the radio stars. Radio Leeds
:16:33. > :16:37.show us how a quiz should be The tension at the top of League 1
:16:37. > :16:42.is excruciating. Spare a thought for fans of Chesterfield whose
:16:42. > :16:50.dream of the Great Escape is now over. The rest of the League 1
:16:50. > :16:54.Yeovil Mervyn a win would keep them in with a shout of staying in
:16:55. > :17:00.League 1. He's far right side still needed results to get their way but
:17:00. > :17:04.when Jordan Bowery was her in the Hayes minute the great escape was
:17:04. > :17:09.on. But Chesterfield came back, Dominic Blizzard finishing off a
:17:09. > :17:13.sweeping move he had started. Spireites fans again have hope when
:17:13. > :17:23.Danny Whitaker's strike from 25 yards to take the deflection into
:17:23. > :17:27.Yeovil's net. But the heads were broken by Kieran Agard. The
:17:27. > :17:31.Spireites had their chances. Craig Westcarr shot this golden
:17:31. > :17:35.opportunity wide. Their heads of final extinguished with ten minutes
:17:35. > :17:41.to go when Andy Williams got a goal, that means Chesterfield will start
:17:41. > :17:45.next year in League 2. After the High of last season and winning the
:17:45. > :17:50.cup, are one to improve in sheer and it is obviously very
:17:50. > :17:55.disappointing to go straight back down. But all I can do is try to
:17:55. > :17:59.hit the ground running and I just have to prepare for next season.
:17:59. > :18:02.Had a still dropped two points at Walsall and with the MK Dons
:18:02. > :18:06.winning it means the Terriers looks set to finish fifth in the table.
:18:06. > :18:10.Novak have put town up 1 up in the second minute but Walsall were
:18:10. > :18:13.fighting for their own lives and probably deserved their share of
:18:13. > :18:18.the spoils. Not much for Scunthorpe or
:18:18. > :18:22.Bournemouth to play for at Glanford Park. McDermott had put the
:18:22. > :18:27.Cherries ahead just before half- time but substitute Thomson made it
:18:28. > :18:31.1-1 with ten minutes to go. A draw a fair result.
:18:31. > :18:35.Huddersfield now it is MK Dons in the play-offs and and as there is a

:18:55. > :19:04.region and he has taken his side down. It was the 70 match winners
:19:04. > :19:09.Brehme. -- 17 matcha Brehme with no wins. I do not merit it to the
:19:09. > :19:12.players a long time to adjust but they lost a lot of points and that
:19:12. > :19:17.is very hard. The Johnstone's Paint Trophy did not do them any favours.
:19:17. > :19:20.It is fantastic to have won it but really, they would have been better
:19:20. > :19:23.getting points in the league. It is a shame that they have learnt a lot
:19:23. > :19:28.this year and that should hold them in good stead for getting back next
:19:28. > :19:33.year. They did have the chance of a great escape but it did not quite
:19:33. > :19:38.come to it. Huddersfield as well, they notice a MK Dons in the play-
:19:38. > :19:46.offs. We do not know whether it is home or away. -- they know it is MK
:19:46. > :19:50.Dons. Stark contrast to last year. They managed to get to the finals
:19:50. > :19:55.against Peter Brand were favourites. They are not favourites this year.
:19:55. > :19:59.There is not as much pressure on them. -- against Peterborough.
:19:59. > :20:09.Whatever team loses at will be the favourites. I am sure Simon Grayson

:22:25. > :22:28.Nick Barmby as manager of Hull City? Although things started
:22:28. > :22:32.brightly under his stewardship, they dipped in February and the
:22:32. > :22:37.Tigers missed out at the players. Barmby has been vocal about the
:22:37. > :22:42.need to strengthen his squad. If rumours are correct, that is the
:22:42. > :22:46.reason for his suspension. Saturday, West Ham held out hope of automatic

:24:10. > :24:14.for a foul that it lies outside the box, Jason Scotland scored to seal
:24:14. > :24:19.the win. A late goal reduce the deficit but it was too late. Their

:24:52. > :24:56.representatives in the top half of the table. 14th players finish for

:25:05. > :25:09.Hull City flying the flag in terms of our Championship sides. We yet
:25:09. > :25:15.manager at Nick Barmby have been suspended, we believed dead to a
:25:15. > :25:19.couple of interviews where he appeared to put pressure on the
:25:19. > :25:26.hierarchy to spend cash on players. If that is the case what would your
:25:26. > :25:30.reaction be? If he is asking for more money, or transfers to improve
:25:30. > :25:33.the team, most managers in League 1 and the Premiership are doing that
:25:33. > :25:39.all the time. Neil Warnock is saying Ken Bates has to improve the
:25:39. > :25:43.team. So are find that rather strange. Even if the hierarchy...
:25:43. > :25:48.Baker at events say to Nick, you are not getting any money. -- they
:25:48. > :25:53.could even say to Mick. Any manager would want to improve the team. He
:25:53. > :25:57.has probably gone and said we need slightly better players. How did
:25:57. > :26:02.you see his position? He would never use the media to manipulate
:26:02. > :26:06.the situation. Nothing sinister whatsoever. He is as honest as you
:26:06. > :26:09.get. He would just have been telling the truth. Maybe he has
:26:09. > :26:13.been naive in what he has said but I do not think it was anything
:26:14. > :26:19.sinister. Do you think he will be there next year? I would like to
:26:19. > :26:23.think so. He has a -- day and a good job. He needs time. Rotherham
:26:23. > :26:26.fans may well be wondering what might have been. They already knew
:26:26. > :26:31.they were missing out on the play- offs for another year but on
:26:31. > :26:38.Saturday the Millers contested a thriller at Aldershot. The pick of
:26:38. > :26:43.year put a spring in their step and Steve Evans will her back continues
:26:43. > :26:48.when he takes his side to the club's New York Stadium in August.
:26:48. > :26:52.De Millers went in front against Aldershot 3 egg Gareth Evans
:26:52. > :26:55.penalty but the hosts the levels. Rotherham were back in front before
:26:55. > :27:00.half-time. Hustings with a slightly fortunate effort that looked more
:27:00. > :27:03.like a cross and a shot. For the game be distributed to all when Guy
:27:03. > :27:09.Madjo nodded her and just after the break, a sending off for a east
:27:09. > :27:14.side of no consequence. Bradford City said at half-time
:27:14. > :27:20.thanks to his low effort. But immediately after the restart Jimmy
:27:20. > :27:24.Spencer levelled things. The on- loan Huddersfield striker got his
:27:24. > :27:29.second just after the hour mark. Berger's sealed the win for
:27:29. > :27:34.Cheltenham. Bantams fans will be hoping for better next season.
:27:34. > :27:40.One game to get. Rotherham can man not make it into the play-off
:27:40. > :27:48.places. At the wrong end of the table, Bradford City. Is that good
:27:48. > :27:54.Stay 50 -- save before Bradford City but not the best table for
:27:54. > :27:59.Bantams brands. -- safety for Bradford. They have done better
:27:59. > :28:03.against the top teams. The quality of players that Parkinson has there,
:28:03. > :28:07.they should be higher up the table. I am sure he has more contracts to
:28:07. > :28:13.sort out in the summer. They will be known around the play-offs next
:28:13. > :28:18.season. A quick word on Rotherham United. Too little, too late.
:28:18. > :28:21.they got into a new stadium, they would have liked to get promoted
:28:21. > :28:25.but the stadium should improve the crowds. No fixtures until next
:28:25. > :28:31.Saturday but I sense United and Wednesday fans are counting the
:28:31. > :28:39.sleeps already and no doubt struggling to get to sleep. Twitter
