:00:08. > :00:18.Enough of white handshakes and Harry. We have a Rotherham went to
:00:18. > :00:27.
:00:27. > :00:31.Sheffield divided - United and Wednesday battle for Providence and
:00:31. > :00:35.promotion. Marching on together - Leeds fans
:00:35. > :00:39.take a height -- hike and what the man in Monaco to be the same.
:00:40. > :00:44.And Access All Areas at Bramall Lane to see how the show gets to go
:00:44. > :00:47.And with me tonight, two gentleman we already know well, and who've
:00:47. > :00:53.already shaken hands - Tony Dorigo, ex of Leeds & England, of course,
:00:53. > :00:57.and the man who took to the Tigers to the top level, Mr Phil Brown.
:00:57. > :01:00.Our reporter Rob Jones has been seeing quite a lot of the West
:01:00. > :01:03.Country in recent weeks. He's been to Bristol twice in the last two
:01:03. > :01:06.weeks and was supposed to be seeing how Scunthorpe got on at Yeovil on
:01:06. > :01:10.Saturday. But with the game called off at 10.00am, our intrepid
:01:10. > :01:20.reporter got back in the Fiesta and headed a little further down the M5
:01:20. > :01:23.
:01:23. > :01:27.to Exeter where Sheffield manoeuvre at the top of League One
:01:27. > :01:30.at the moment and three Yorkshire heavy weights are clamouring to
:01:30. > :01:33.fill the second automatic promotion place. Sheffield United,
:01:33. > :01:37.Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday are all within touching
:01:37. > :01:41.distance in what promises to be a ferocious bite to the finish. Since
:01:41. > :01:45.the turn off the year, all three clubs have occupied all three
:01:45. > :01:48.positions and second spot has changed hands on all four occasions
:01:48. > :01:52.will stop the combinations of Cup commitments and inclement
:01:52. > :01:57.conditions have further complicated the issue. But as the game at
:01:57. > :02:00.Leyton Orient on Saturday was postponed, the focus is still on
:02:00. > :02:04.postponed, the focus is still on the Steel City's two teams.
:02:04. > :02:07.Sheffield Wednesday arrived in the automatic promotion places in these
:02:07. > :02:09.-- League One. The game against Exeter City came at the end of the
:02:09. > :02:14.week were the club's supporters could have been forgiven for having
:02:14. > :02:17.a lot undermines. The chairman has rescued Wednesday, but where would
:02:17. > :02:22.they be if he was found guilty for tax evasion alongside Harry
:02:22. > :02:27.Redknapp? He was cleared of all charges. But there was still some
:02:27. > :02:32.on-field matters to worry about. With the St James's Park turf
:02:33. > :02:36.survived the big freeze, would it be 500 mile round trip in the in?
:02:36. > :02:41.The fixtures felt the frost on Saturday, but this match was never
:02:41. > :02:44.any serious doubt. With the game definitely on, concerns goods which
:02:44. > :02:49.do the worrying recent record against the regions. Wednesday fans
:02:49. > :02:53.will have far from happy memories seen their manager stand here. At a
:02:53. > :03:03.5-1 defeat on this ground last season proved to be one of the last
:03:03. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:08.over the years, but Wednesday had never won away at Exeter. Their
:03:08. > :03:14.fans believe they had what it takes to triumph in the race for the
:03:14. > :03:17.championship. A lot of Wednesday fans like Gary. The talks sense and
:03:17. > :03:26.at the end of the day, he is a great manager. He will get us up
:03:26. > :03:31.Naturally, it will be a fight right to the end. Hopefully, I will be
:03:31. > :03:35.there and Sheffield United as well. It would be good for the City of
:03:35. > :03:43.the boat went up. How impressed have you been with Johnson in
:03:43. > :03:51.recent weeks? I like him. But he does do daft things at times. When
:03:51. > :03:54.he has the ball, you think something will happen. Wednesday's
:03:54. > :03:57.potential for support for his tremendous. To get the numbers that
:03:57. > :04:01.they do at home games and away games when they have been playing
:04:01. > :04:06.not particularly well these last few years is tremendous. I think
:04:06. > :04:11.that is what will be the edge in the end. Wednesday's game was one
:04:11. > :04:15.of only three League One fixtures on Saturday. United's first league
:04:15. > :04:20.match against Wycombe was intriguingly another. Such is the
:04:20. > :04:24.nature of this promotion battle, but team's fortunes changed sharply
:04:24. > :04:28.in the space of 45 second have minutes. Germaine Johnson and
:04:28. > :04:32.netted his fourth goal in six games down in Devon to put Wednesday
:04:32. > :04:35.ahead and United seemed subconsciously rallied as will
:04:35. > :04:39.Hoskins did the same at Bramall Lane. Wednesday's advantage was
:04:40. > :04:47.short-lived. A Billy Jones free- kick levelled things up. In
:04:47. > :04:51.contrast, United put the game almost beyond doubt. It was still
:04:51. > :05:01.time for a sting in the tail down south. David Noble scored his
:05:01. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:07.There had been a six-point gap between the sides at one stage on
:05:07. > :05:17.Saturday. As Kevin MacDonald made it 3-nothing to United, just one
:05:17. > :05:18.
:05:18. > :05:22.point separated them.... 3-0. bitterly disappointed and angry. We
:05:22. > :05:26.wasted it and we did not playing the right manner. I will accept
:05:26. > :05:30.people passing it wrong or controlling the ball whatever it
:05:30. > :05:32.might be, but just strutting about because you have a blue and white
:05:32. > :05:37.shirt on and it makes you a different type of flair, it does
:05:37. > :05:41.not. We have a huge prize that we are going for it and it did not
:05:41. > :05:44.look like it out there today. It looked like we had a few more
:05:44. > :05:48.interested in other things as opposed to the actual result but we
:05:48. > :05:52.need to get. Your home form is always important. That is the
:05:52. > :05:56.priority for us away from home will always be bonus time. But home is
:05:56. > :06:00.always important. It gives you a good chance of staying in the
:06:00. > :06:03.shake-up at the end. But I did not feel from my point of view that we
:06:03. > :06:07.deserve anything but the three points. Ride the bike through the
:06:07. > :06:10.game, I thought all be needed to do was up the ante and showing some
:06:10. > :06:15.more desire. It is a strange thing to be talking about, a lack of
:06:15. > :06:19.these things. I knew a lot of people were not playing today and
:06:19. > :06:23.we could have really got that result. We trotted away.
:06:23. > :06:28.Wednesday may still be in position of the coveted second spot, but
:06:28. > :06:34.United and Huddersfield are hot on their feels -- fuels. It can be
:06:34. > :06:37.afternoons like this that make so much difference.
:06:37. > :06:41.Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town house swap places ahead of
:06:41. > :06:51.tomorrow night's huge clash. Both teams have Wednesday night firmly
:06:51. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:01.Let's cut straight to the chase. Who is more equipped to go up,
:07:02. > :07:06.United are Wednesday? Listen to the managers and I know
:07:06. > :07:10.who I'm going to go for. Danny Wilson seemed a lot more confident.
:07:10. > :07:16.Nine wins in 11 games. That is important. Home form, coming to the
:07:17. > :07:19.end as well, that is important. If they can get away with the point,
:07:19. > :07:25.Sheffield United are looking pretty good.
:07:25. > :07:28.And Wednesday, you had a wry smile watching that. Exeter way - it does
:07:28. > :07:32.not one you ever enjoy, is it? Listen to the Commons after the
:07:32. > :07:35.game by the man Ager and he has had a pop at his players. He would not
:07:35. > :07:39.have had that Popat he did not think the players could handle it.
:07:39. > :07:42.But you go to places like St James's Park and I am not talking
:07:42. > :07:46.about Newcastle United, I am talking about Exeter, and you have
:07:46. > :07:52.to adapt to the surroundings. It sounded as if these players did not
:07:52. > :07:59.quite fit the bill. They went 1- Nihal -- 1-0 up and that is the
:07:59. > :08:03.most important part. Exeter came back with an unbelievable winner.
:08:03. > :08:08.You would agree with Tony but Sheffield United by the fear that.
:08:08. > :08:14.But again, it is down to the next game. He has levelled that
:08:14. > :08:17.criticism and now wants a response. Stevenage at home, the top six are
:08:17. > :08:21.all playing each other tomorrow night at tonight. For me, it is an
:08:21. > :08:29.important game. You have to give Gary his credit. He has levelled
:08:29. > :08:33.that criticism because he knows he Where do you stand on that? I like
:08:33. > :08:38.it when managers have a go at players. I think it's refreshingly
:08:38. > :08:42.honest. Some do it at half-time! think it's good. As players, you
:08:42. > :08:46.did not like to be criticised in public. But the right sort of area,
:08:47. > :08:51.the dressing room, that is right. Sometimes, players need a kick up
:08:51. > :08:55.the backside. With that many games to go, he needs a reaction. He's
:08:55. > :08:58.seen something in that game, maybe in training, they might be thinking
:08:58. > :09:01.they are better than what they are. Get back to what got you there.
:09:01. > :09:06.He's given the players a kick up the backside at the right time.
:09:06. > :09:13.you look at the timing of it, I listened to an interview that my
:09:13. > :09:16.own manager, Sam Allardyce, gave. They got beat 5-1 of Ipswich. The
:09:16. > :09:20.next game is the important one. He's done them with criticism and
:09:20. > :09:25.got the right response, let's see it. Wigan at home, that was just
:09:25. > :09:29.what they wanted. Huddersfield away, this was at the weekend,
:09:29. > :09:36.Huddersfield away is coming up on Tuesday night. Must not lose, or
:09:36. > :09:40.must win? I've never worked that out. Huddersfield are the MK Dons
:09:40. > :09:46.of late. Clarke seems to have that knack of not losing. Winning is
:09:46. > :09:50.important, but it's not losing. He has a resilience. Tomorrow night,
:09:50. > :09:54.maybe a draw. Both sides settling for a point, and then move on.
:09:54. > :09:58.huge game. Plenty of teams in action throughout the week.
:09:58. > :10:05.Coming up, two Terriers tackle the head-to-head hot seat. And the best
:10:05. > :10:09.of the rest of the action from the championship and League Two.
:10:10. > :10:15.All of that and more to come. Now the latest down Leeds United away.
:10:15. > :10:17.You might have heard Alex McGleish say this weekend that fans
:10:17. > :10:22.protesting and marching was something of a fashion at the
:10:22. > :10:26.moment. It seems to have been at Leeds for a while now. A good
:10:26. > :10:36.number of fans walked from the town to Elland Road calling for changes
:10:36. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:45.They arrived in their hundreds and their message was simple. The march
:10:45. > :10:50.was organised by the Leeds United Supporters Trust as part of their
:10:50. > :10:54.campaign for change. Supporters have said this is not an anti-Ken
:10:54. > :10:57.Bates protest. But you only have to listen to the chanting and look at
:10:57. > :11:01.the banners to know that it is very much a campaign against the current
:11:01. > :11:07.chairman with a lot of anger and disenchantment. They all have one
:11:07. > :11:11.thing in common. They all want to see Ken Bates out of Leeds United.
:11:11. > :11:15.He took charge in 2005, even referring to himself as the saviour
:11:15. > :11:19.of the club. They might have believed it then, things are very
:11:19. > :11:22.different today. We are very unhappy with Ken Bates's
:11:22. > :11:26.stewardship of Leeds United. We are here to tell him we have had enough.
:11:26. > :11:30.We want transparency at the club to see what is going on. If he refuses
:11:30. > :11:34.to talk to us, this is the only way we can show any passion about what
:11:34. > :11:39.is going on. There is no consideration for the fans. It is
:11:39. > :11:42.purely for the board. We are sick of the line is and we are sick of
:11:42. > :11:46.the mistrust. We are sick of play has been sold. The recent decision
:11:46. > :11:52.to sack manager Simon Grayson seems to have got some fans even more
:11:52. > :11:57.heated. If you hate Ken Bates clap your hands! It was a noisy and
:11:57. > :12:00.highly visible demonstration of the frustration keenly felt by many.
:12:00. > :12:07.While Ken Bates remains at Elland Road, the prospect of
:12:07. > :12:10.reconciliation between club and fans seems as far away as ever.
:12:10. > :12:14.There is the problem, I think. A lot of fans think the club is
:12:14. > :12:18.marching in a different direction to the way they want to go. I
:12:18. > :12:21.mentioned Alex McLeish, your old club, Aston Villa. A similar thing
:12:21. > :12:25.going on there at the moment. But this doesn't appear to be the
:12:25. > :12:29.fashion, it has been going on for a while? There is no doubt that the
:12:29. > :12:32.fans want to voice their opinion and be heard. Rightly so, they are
:12:32. > :12:36.passionate supporters. They want to see their team where they think it
:12:37. > :12:43.belongs, in the Premier League. When you see Norwich, Swansea, they
:12:43. > :12:48.came up with the needs -- Leeds A few years ago. Look what is
:12:48. > :12:51.happening with those teams. Leeds don't seem to be progressing. It's
:12:51. > :12:55.difficult for Simon Grayson and Neil Redfearn, if you are going to
:12:55. > :13:02.sell your best young players, not signed a one-year contracts, not
:13:02. > :13:05.get them to progress, you're not going to move on. It's a very level
:13:05. > :13:08.indeed, with a bit of Investment, with the players they have got,
:13:08. > :13:11.they could make a good goal of trying to get into the Premier
:13:11. > :13:17.League. That is the frustration, I understand that and the fans want
:13:17. > :13:21.some answers. Rightly so. Norwich, just to rub it in, with Leeds
:13:21. > :13:25.players now. That seems to be the way. You must have put some
:13:25. > :13:29.interesting to the Leeds job? as an out-of-work manager, you
:13:29. > :13:35.would be foolish not to. The contract at Preston has allowed me
:13:35. > :13:39.to do just that. Rightly so, I put my CD for wood. At the end of the
:13:40. > :13:44.day it is Leeds United, one of the greatest clubs in the country. -- I
:13:44. > :13:47.put my CV forwards. They lie in the championship and they look like
:13:48. > :13:51.they will have another season in the championship until they can
:13:51. > :13:57.raise their game. It's still capable, I still believe that Leeds
:13:57. > :14:01.United have a chance of sneaking into the play-offs. But once you're
:14:01. > :14:05.in the play-offs, a you are lead united, a big club. That size can
:14:05. > :14:11.carry you through. That outweighs all of this stuff going on? You
:14:11. > :14:15.would still go for it? You've got to look at the prospects. You are
:14:15. > :14:19.managing Leeds, it is a massive responsibility for anybody. For me,
:14:19. > :14:25.it is a club... I wouldn't have said in disarray, but it certainly
:14:25. > :14:29.has a chance. A walking advert, fill down -- Phil Brown's
:14:29. > :14:39.managerial talents. Neil Redfearn is in poll position at the moment.
:14:39. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:50.Time to see how Leeds fed on since Simon Grayson's exit at
:14:50. > :14:55.Elland Road. Luciano Becchio could easily have punished Albion's
:14:55. > :15:00.keeper, but he pushed wide. Craig Mikhail-Smith scored the opener
:15:00. > :15:05.with 15 minutes to go. The lead lasted less than two minutes.
:15:05. > :15:10.Luciana Becchio was on target. The hearts of the home fans were broken
:15:10. > :15:15.when Alan Navarro scored a late goal to condemn Neil Redfearn to
:15:15. > :15:18.his first defeat as caretaker boss. Hull gave Nick Barmby the 38th
:15:18. > :15:27.birthday present he would have most wanted with an emphatic win over
:15:27. > :15:33.Bristol City. The Tigers where head early on. Jack Hobbs's header took
:15:33. > :15:36.a deflection. Robert Koren's header was unstoppable. The visitors
:15:37. > :15:41.threatened to come back. Albert Adomah hit the crossbar. The
:15:41. > :15:49.follow-up had to be scrambled off the line. The win was sealed on the
:15:49. > :15:59.hour mark when Matty Fryatt rounded the former England number one to
:15:59. > :16:11.
:16:11. > :16:19.complete a comprehensive win. Where Well, Hull City, your old stamping
:16:19. > :16:23.ground, the region's top club again. Unbeaten since Nick Barmby came
:16:23. > :16:27.full-time manager, in the league? Good to see him doing well.
:16:27. > :16:31.Hopefully they might get to the Premier League again. People talk
:16:31. > :16:36.about momentum at this time of year. Blackpool got that momentum going,
:16:36. > :16:41.so have Birmingham. You had it when he went up? Absolutely. What Hull
:16:41. > :16:43.have got his consistency. Consistency both defensively, and
:16:43. > :16:47.hopefully that will open the floodgates. They scored three on
:16:47. > :16:50.Saturday, but they kept a clean sheet and that will be the most
:16:50. > :16:56.pleasing thing to him. The biggest win of the season. Do you really
:16:56. > :17:02.fancy them to get up in the play- offs? I do. It's not just about
:17:02. > :17:05.form and consistency. It is about experience as well. Not long ago
:17:05. > :17:09.Nicky Barmby was one of the main players, when we got promoted. He
:17:09. > :17:13.will take that into his players, into the dressing room, and players
:17:13. > :17:16.will be able to bounce off him. He's been there, seen it and done
:17:16. > :17:23.it and players will relate to that. The AIDS have dropped a little bit
:17:23. > :17:33.of the play-offs. Such fine margins, or which football future is decided.
:17:33. > :17:33.
:17:33. > :17:40.They gaze Brighton, and all right Normally Elland Road is a fortress.
:17:40. > :17:43.It has not been this season. Late, last-minute goals. Neil Redfearn
:17:43. > :17:47.came out and said about their professionalism, that is a big
:17:47. > :17:51.question for the players. There is a lot of positive thought around
:17:52. > :17:56.the area, but you have to do get the players out there. The new
:17:56. > :18:01.manager might come in, it might be the manager that is there now, you
:18:02. > :18:07.have to impress. His concentration, conceding goals, it has to stop or
:18:07. > :18:12.they will not get near the play- offs. Two more games for Neil
:18:12. > :18:15.Redfearn at least, we understand. Now for the only thing that gets
:18:15. > :18:24.players over-emotional. It is not Mastermind, it is barely
:18:24. > :18:30.Blockbusters, it is Head To Head. This week it is Huddersfield.
:18:30. > :18:34.Nick Colgan, 38, Huddersfield Town. Brian Allinson, 18, Huddersfield
:18:34. > :18:42.Town. You're one minutes starts now. Who were the winners of the X
:18:42. > :18:47.Factor? Little Mix! Current holders of the Champions' League. Barcelona.
:18:47. > :18:56.Who wears 21 for Huddersfield? back! Manager of Barnsley? Keith
:18:56. > :19:01.Hill! Who did the record 10-one win in 1930 come against? Tranmere?
:19:01. > :19:11.right, I will give you a chance. Rotherham. Blackpool. Who is your
:19:11. > :19:17.final game of the season against? Notts County. No. Not got a clue.
:19:17. > :19:22.Yeovil. Who did Jordan Rovers make his Scotland debut against? Cyprus.
:19:22. > :19:27.What was the previous stadium called? Leeds Road. Capital city of
:19:27. > :19:37.the USA. Washington DC. Which team plays their home games at Underhill.
:19:37. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:49.Barnett. Leading scorer in the Nick Colgan, dispelling the myth.
:19:49. > :19:56.Goalkeepers are not stupid, but they are all barmy. Well, you have
:19:57. > :20:00.to go in with your head when the You know what it is like when you
:20:00. > :20:03.have to prepare for weekend visitors. How about 20,000 of them
:20:04. > :20:09.nearly every fortnight? That is what the good people behind the
:20:09. > :20:17.scenes at Bramall Lane have to do. We got a guided tour of some of the
:20:17. > :20:19.work that has to take place to make each and every match-day possible.
:20:19. > :20:22.Almost 20,000 supporters pass through the turnstiles every
:20:22. > :20:27.fortnight at Bramall Lane. But there is so much more to match day
:20:27. > :20:29.than just 90 minutes of football. I've come a long bright and early
:20:29. > :20:34.to peek behind the scenes at Sheffield United, with the senior
:20:34. > :20:37.match day supervisor and with the temperature below freezing we had
:20:37. > :20:43.better start with a quick pitch inspection. The match will be on
:20:43. > :20:47.today. The undersoil heating has been on since... Well, the last
:20:47. > :20:52.couple of weeks. They said that the temperature today, on ground level,
:20:52. > :20:57.is ten degrees. It might be minus one in the stadium, but I would say
:20:57. > :21:03.the game will definitely happen. Preparing the ground for kick-off,
:21:03. > :21:08.time for a spot of lunch. On a match day I arrive at about 12:30pm.
:21:08. > :21:13.My job is basically to look after the sponsors that I here. We do a
:21:13. > :21:18.quiz, we generally have a good laugh. I tell a few jokes,
:21:18. > :21:22.hopefully people laugh at them. Not all of the time. I used to be the
:21:22. > :21:26.physio, I now do the announcing in the sponsor's lounge. It's a good
:21:26. > :21:29.day out. The sponsors are very important people. So of the fans.
:21:29. > :21:34.The sponsors but a lot of money into the club and they looked after
:21:34. > :21:39.very well. After lunch, time for a spot of retail therapy at the club
:21:39. > :21:44.shop. From about one point 15 he will find the club shop packed. At
:21:44. > :21:48.the end of the match, people do come into his seat if they want to
:21:48. > :21:51.buy the last bits of souvenirs. From you to world, a quick visit to
:21:51. > :21:55.the club museum to find out what happens to memorabilia from the
:21:55. > :22:00.past. If you don't have them on display, they are in cupboards or
:22:00. > :22:04.drawers. This gives a chance for the supporters, the guests and the
:22:04. > :22:07.kids of the city to finally get to find out a bit of the fantastic
:22:07. > :22:12.history of Bramall Lane and Sheffield United Football Club.
:22:12. > :22:16.Also for families to feel the sense of pride that their dad or
:22:16. > :22:19.grandad's medal, shirt or cap is out there for people to see. It
:22:19. > :22:22.helps keep their names alive and that is another big part of what we
:22:23. > :22:26.are trying to do. Talking of legends, the love for the club is
:22:26. > :22:32.still very much alive for this former player. The heart is always
:22:32. > :22:38.there. You know, we are always rooting for them. When things go
:22:38. > :22:42.wrong we have an little moan and it is always exciting. We always look
:22:42. > :22:46.forward to the match. At the other side of the ground, Janet Island
:22:46. > :22:49.runs United's Disabled Supporters Club, providing fans with a place
:22:49. > :22:58.to socialise before each game, as well as giving them a chance to
:22:58. > :23:03.We would both we would both like to be here every week, but those days
:23:03. > :23:06.are gone. We like seen the good work they do in the community.
:23:06. > :23:11.think it is important that they have something to do other than
:23:11. > :23:14.just watch football matches. We also take them to away grounds and
:23:14. > :23:18.the coffee bar money is to subsidise that trouble.
:23:18. > :23:22.As kick-off draws near, preparations are almost complete
:23:22. > :23:27.and as the crowd streamed into the ground, all we need now are the two
:23:27. > :23:31.teams. This is what the last five hours all boils down to. It is
:23:31. > :23:41.nearly 3pm and both teams are ready. So I suppose it is time to go and
:23:41. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:06.For it is 5 o'clock and the end of a very long and successful day on
:24:06. > :24:10.and off the park at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United beat Wycombe by
:24:10. > :24:16.three goals to nil to keep their hopes alive. It is time for me to
:24:16. > :24:22.go home but I wonder where you can is - I am dying for a cup of tea!
:24:22. > :24:25.He has his eyes on that champion! You lot turn up and play, but look
:24:25. > :24:30.how much work goes on to let you do that.
:24:30. > :24:34.It is unbelievable. You have had four or five the front examples for
:24:34. > :24:38.we, as players, just used to turn up and perform. But for these guys,
:24:38. > :24:42.it is a full day's preparation. Anything could go wrong during the
:24:42. > :24:47.course of that. They cannot hide that. If it goes wrong, the
:24:47. > :24:51.supporters have a horrendous days. And if the gay -- days called off,
:24:51. > :24:53.it makes it even worse. Back to seeing some goals. Two from
:24:53. > :24:56.League Two, to be precise. Rotherham's trip to Southend beat
:24:56. > :25:06.the freeze on Friday night. And even better, the Millers beat the
:25:06. > :25:13.
:25:13. > :25:16.is the way to make new friends! Rotherham avenge safe 4-0 defeat at
:25:16. > :25:26.home in September and Alex Revell sealed the points seven minutes
:25:26. > :25:28.
:25:28. > :25:31.from time. Sheffield United nil, Rotherham United 2. Only seven so
:25:31. > :25:34.really play for. And no real need to look at the
:25:34. > :25:44.bottom on the table. Bradford didn't play and nor did many of
:25:44. > :25:45.
:25:45. > :25:49.Rotherham on the costs of the play- off, but not quite there yet.
:25:49. > :25:52.will be those signings that were made in January that determine how
:25:52. > :25:56.successful they will be. That could be the difference between the mid-
:25:56. > :25:59.table and the play-offs. So what's next for your club? Well,
:25:59. > :26:01.as I'm sure you know, everyone's in Football League action tomorrow
:26:01. > :26:05.night. In the Championship, Hull have a
:26:05. > :26:09.big task at Birmingham. Barnsley are at Burnley. Leeds are at
:26:09. > :26:12.Coventry. And just Doncaster at home of our teams, welcoming Ian
:26:12. > :26:15.Holloway's in-form Blackpool. In League One, obviously
:26:15. > :26:19.Huddersfield vs Sheffield United is our really big one. Wednesday play
:26:19. > :26:23.Stevenage. Chesterfield go to Bury. And Scunthorpe vs Rochdale is a
:26:23. > :26:26.six-pointer at the bottom. Well done to all who went down to
:26:26. > :26:29.Glanford Park yesterday to help clear the pitch. It's been too long
:26:29. > :26:32.since the Iron last played. And in League Two, Bradford vs Port
:26:32. > :26:35.Vale and Rotherham vs Accrington. Can you think of a better way to
:26:35. > :26:44.spend your Valentine's night? Take your significant other with you.
:26:44. > :26:49.York vs Ebbsfleet in the FA Trophy for me and Mrs Mowbray!
:26:49. > :26:53.What about the fixture of the week? Huddersfield against Sheffield
:26:53. > :26:58.United, we touched on it earlier. Who will then it?
:26:58. > :27:06.It is going to be a draw! I know you said that earlier! Leaves at
:27:06. > :27:09.Coventry? This is a peddles All's fixture. Leeds have Doncaster after
:27:09. > :27:13.that and all hell could reclusive they do not get results out of that.
:27:13. > :27:16.They cannot afford to lose at Coventry. They must go out and show
:27:16. > :27:21.what they're about from a struggling Coventry. Doncaster, the
:27:21. > :27:26.same sort of thing. We know how these games against the local
:27:26. > :27:30.rivals can be. There really could put Leeds nose out of joint. If you
:27:30. > :27:34.take six points from those two games, you are looking at in the
:27:34. > :27:37.play-offs if not pushing for them. It is a fantastic week.
:27:37. > :27:42.You have already said you fancy the Tigers for the play-offs. They
:27:42. > :27:45.could not get a much sterner test than Birmingham City. I was on my
:27:45. > :27:52.way to Barnsley against Birmingham on Saturday but it was called off
:27:52. > :27:59.at 1:30pm. We just turned up for the game and if it is off, we went
:27:59. > :28:04.to a different game. He might get a rude awakening scene Hull at the
:28:04. > :28:07.DEC Stadium! They really nitty-gritty - there
:28:07. > :28:11.are only two more games to the end. Certainly. It is how you cope with
:28:11. > :28:15.that. This is the business end of the season. We have seen so many
:28:15. > :28:19.teams and players ball down at this point. Who can keep their heads and
:28:19. > :28:22.he can get the momentum going? It is all about results and confidence.
:28:22. > :28:27.Just went gains and get on to the end of the season.
:28:27. > :28:30.Let's hope so for some wins from our teams. You'll get the finest
:28:30. > :28:40.commentary reports on your local BBC radio stations. Keegan does
:28:40. > :28:41.
