:05:41. > :05:46.has been lost and a long day draws to a close. A good day in the end
:05:46. > :05:49.for Rotherham. We'll talk Rotherham in a moment, but first here's the
:05:49. > :05:57.action from our other three sides in League Two. And Paul Burland starts
:05:57. > :06:02.with Bradford who are targeting to return to Wembley in May. Bradford
:06:02. > :06:07.city's late promotion - continues. They beat Burton on Saturday thanks
:06:07. > :06:13.to a gratuitous James Hanson: The stroke of half-time. With extra
:06:13. > :06:19.losing again, Bradford are definitely in the play-offs. But
:06:19. > :06:23.Chesterfield will just miss out. They went in front. Two tremendous
:06:23. > :06:31.efforts either side of the break from Mark Richards stretch the
:06:31. > :06:36.advantaged. Ultimately last Tuesday's defeat has proved fatal to
:06:36. > :06:40.their hopes this year. Another win for your work, this time against
:06:40. > :06:46.Southend but they are still not safe. Adam Reach pick one up. They
:06:46. > :06:54.were pegged back 20 minutes later, comedy defending a learning Ryan
:06:54. > :07:02.Leonard to score. Defending was not much better at the other end. Your
:07:02. > :07:09.will still be playing league football next year. The draw against
:07:09. > :07:13.Aldershot will almost certainly be enough. Bradford have made the
:07:13. > :07:17.play-offs and their hopes remain alive. Chesterfield missed out so it
:07:17. > :07:22.is league two for them next year. York city know that a draw at
:07:22. > :07:27.Dagenham next year -- next week will Dagenham next year -- next week will
:07:27. > :07:33.keep them in the football league. A worthwhile trip for the Rotherham
:07:33. > :07:39.A worthwhile trip for the Rotherham fans. The supporters turned out in
:07:39. > :07:47.numbers. It is a long trip. Certainly, Rotherham are no just
:07:47. > :07:53.needing one point from Aldershot. It looks automatic. It has been a
:07:53. > :07:57.brilliant year for them. They have moved to the new ground and that has
:07:58. > :08:02.been a catalyst. Just one point required against the bottom team
:08:02. > :08:07.next week. We all thought they had blown it a few weeks ago when they
:08:07. > :08:12.had a wobble. Great win at Bradford on Tuesday night. To go down there
:08:12. > :08:18.and get three points is great. They deserve it but they cannot take it
:08:18. > :08:23.for granted. They have to keep their feet on the ground on Saturday. At
:08:23. > :08:27.this stage in the season, you cannot wait for Saturday. The tension is
:08:27. > :08:35.building up. Promotion was the brief of the manager and he is almost
:08:35. > :08:40.there. When he got the job, that was the discussion. They were favourites
:08:40. > :08:48.at the start of the season anyway. It was promotion or nothing really.
:08:48. > :08:58.Yes. Steve is not everyone's cup of tea but he gets results and gets the
:08:58. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:06.job done. He will be delighted. He is a colourful character. He took a
:09:06. > :09:11.gamble as well. A few people thought his appointment at Rotherham was a
:09:11. > :09:14.strange one but he has done well. saw what the fans had to go through
:09:14. > :09:22.to get down there and they raise some money as well, all's well that
:09:22. > :09:27.ends well. They will forget all about that, as long as their team
:09:27. > :09:36.gets results on the day and gets promotion. And they raise some money
:09:36. > :09:42.for charity as well. Knowing that Aldershot was the last game of the
:09:42. > :09:51.season. What a fantastic opportunity. Bradford will
:09:51. > :09:53.definitely have another shot at Wembley. Same as Rotherham, we did
:09:53. > :09:56.not think they would get there. We certainly did not then Bradford city
:09:56. > :10:03.would get there. We have seen some goals this weekend. Shocking
:10:03. > :10:10.defending there. You can see five-year -- five weeks ago they be
:10:10. > :10:17.got a hammering at Exeter. The last eight games they have done superbly.
:10:17. > :10:22.I think they have won five. They are hitting form. Just one reservation
:10:22. > :10:28.about Kyle Reid, he is an influential player. The pitch is not
:10:28. > :10:36.great. Looks like they will be at home in the first leg of the
:10:36. > :10:44.play-offs. Chesterfield will be disappointed with this season.
:10:44. > :10:49.have fallen short. They did have some cracking goals. Mark Richards
:10:49. > :10:57.is a good player. I like him at that level. It is a shame they have not
:10:58. > :11:02.stepped up. A lifeline for your city as well. It is a shame, they were
:11:02. > :11:08.eight minutes away from survival yesterday and Wimbledon scored. They
:11:08. > :11:12.have got to get a point at Dagenham this weekends. They will go down
:11:12. > :11:18.there with confidence. They are on a good run, they have won three and
:11:18. > :11:22.drawn two in the last five. A big result, as we saw there. Still to
:11:22. > :11:32.come. The Tigers creep closer to the premier league. And two Spikey
:11:32. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:41.spirites go Man On. It has been a difficult as exciting 12 months for
:11:41. > :11:44.Barnsley fans. A change of manager has breathed fresh life into the
:11:44. > :11:54.South Yorkshire side. With the season heading to the climax, there
:11:54. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:59.are genuine reasons to believe they can avoid the drop. Barnsley's
:11:59. > :12:04.season has been a game of two halves, slumped at the bottom of the
:12:04. > :12:10.championship at Christmas, form and hope had deserted them. The board
:12:10. > :12:14.felt a change was essential and sacked the manager. Step forward the
:12:14. > :12:18.assistant - David Flitcroft and he hasn't looked back. While still far
:12:18. > :12:26.from safety, they have a fighting chance of playing second tier
:12:26. > :12:31.football next season. Mentally I left when Ian got the sack. You have
:12:31. > :12:36.a period of reflection. I had that while still working at the club. I
:12:36. > :12:44.knew was only short-term. In that period, I reflected where we had
:12:44. > :12:49.failed. It was important for me as a human being to galvanise people. It
:12:49. > :12:54.is about the players and the fans and about the board and being able
:12:54. > :12:58.to unify the club. When you had unification in any organisation you
:12:58. > :13:02.have the chance of doing special things. The games we have one and
:13:02. > :13:08.the points we have got, it is remarkable year in position
:13:08. > :13:11.fighting. Yesterday saw his side make the
:13:11. > :13:16.short trip south to achieving chasing promotion at the other end
:13:17. > :13:21.of the table. Barnsley's forms and the turn of the year has been
:13:22. > :13:29.impressive. They have picked up 29 points from a possible 44. Perhaps
:13:29. > :13:35.no coincidence the form has arrived with the arrival of David Flitcroft
:13:35. > :13:39.as manager. Do they have enough in the tag to avoid the drop? I think
:13:39. > :13:43.we need points, perhaps three points today and then follow that up with
:13:44. > :13:52.another win on the final day. Look at where Huddersfield is, it could
:13:52. > :13:58.go down to the wire. We have a tough run-in. We get knots forest. If
:13:58. > :14:02.anybody is capable of getting it it is best team, they really are
:14:02. > :14:09.playing. David Flitcroft has done a good job of things round. What with
:14:09. > :14:14.the implications be of relegation? One would be the money you get from
:14:14. > :14:18.Solidarity and the basic rewards, that would be reduced. The
:14:18. > :14:25.championship is a very competitive league. Arguably one of the best in
:14:25. > :14:31.the world. It has been a privilege and exciting being part of that for
:14:31. > :14:38.the last seven years and we do not want to lose that. We're in the best
:14:38. > :14:45.industry in the world. We have the world, player, coach manager, kit
:14:45. > :14:51.man. The job is so different from any other job. Make it exciting. I

:18:23. > :18:30.thing is that Watford have two massive games. They have big games.
:18:30. > :18:40.That is probably the saving grace for me, as at the moment, nine goals

:19:31. > :19:35.world, we want to Leicester to win on Friday night and then Barnsley to
:19:35. > :19:39.win against Hull. Our region, that is what we want. It is a twist in
:19:39. > :19:43.the tale. David Flitcroft is a fascinating
:19:43. > :19:48.bloke to listen to. When he was talking about mentally leaving when

:20:00. > :20:05.when his predecessor got it wrong. He has come in, change things around
:20:05. > :20:10.and he has them playing with spirit with a bit of character. He has them
:20:10. > :20:17.all together. It was a shame last week that with Derby County, they
:20:17. > :20:21.conceded that the 90th goal. A huge win for Huddersfield town and they
