Almost Easter, when teams lhke eggs can crack or come to the bohl. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Late Kick Off. One Hull of a match at Wembley. City | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
are going back, the Blades have come back proud. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Evans above, the rise and rhse of Steve's Rotherham. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
And the what's the point we have got for the | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
matches played we would havd been top of league one last year. And the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Yorkshire Yanks aiming for the big leagues. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Yes, good evening, we are rdady for another week and freshly returned | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
from Wembley as somebody who could not lose either way yesterd`y, but | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
he is happy Hull won, Deano's here and so is Doncaster Rovers' | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
currently sidelined captain, Rob Jones. My questions are comhng up, | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
your questions to us through the week via Twitter. There is loads to | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
come but we have got to start by talking about yesterday's F@ Cup | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
semifinal, after I remember my manners by asking Rob how hd is | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
The neck operation, how is the recovery going? For weeks now. I've | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
just got to take it very slowly Up to now it's been great, the surgeon | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
has been fantastic and told me exactly what I had to do. For the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
first time in my life I havd done that! I have a long way to go. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Running is the next stage and then back to heading the ball. Hopefully | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
back playing next year. You will be fighting fit by August I'm sure | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Dean, you always looked fighting fit, how was Wembley for yot? It was | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
a glorious day, Guy, a great result. Obviously a fantastic occashon for | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
both teams, the supporters were fantastic, and Sheffield Unhted had | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
a right go to be honest. Thdy have come out looking for the upset, 25 | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
minutes into the game. Stevd changed the system a little bit going for | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
4`3`3. Then he changed it to 4` `2 and at half`time made two changes. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Figueroa and Boyd came off. That made the difference. The final | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
against Arsenal, that'll be a great occasion and Sheffield Unitdd have | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
come back with pride intact. Without doubt. I was speaking to a lot of | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
supporters who were absolutdly delighted and I am sure Nigdl will | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
be delighted because they took us all the way. The one thing `t | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Wembley is do you crumble or do you take on board what is going on, and | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
we had a great go. They went in front and everybody expected it and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
then Steve changed the systdm and it all changed. Despite losing, it is | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
clear things are going the right way for Sheffield United and thdy are | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
happening down the road in Rotherham too. Chairman Tony Stewart got | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
things going by building ond of the tidiest Football League stadiums | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
around but his real masterstroke was bringing Steve Evans to the club, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
loathed by rival clubs and loved by those he brings results. We have | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
spent time with one of football s real characters. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Steve Evans's managerial record speaks for itself. He brought Boston | :03:25. | :03:50. | |
United from the depths to the football league, he engineered | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Crawley's rise out of the Conference into League One, so eyebrows were | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
raised when he decided to jtmp ship back into League Two and john lowly | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Rotherham. I knew it meant stepping back from League One to League Two | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
but I also knew that I was stepping back but it could go two or | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
threelevels up. I became aw`re of the new stadium and the plans the | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
chairman had and I knew what an opportunity it could be. Stdve's | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
decision to take over appears to have paid off after he catapulted | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
the Millers into League One and Championship football is a real | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
possibility but can they hold their nerve? We have every chance because | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
we have got ourselves into the play`offs and that was no e`sy task. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Almost a year to the day, whth the points we had from the matches | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
played we would be top of Ldague One this time last year. Can we be | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
successful? Yes we can, but equally we could be knocked out and back in | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
League One next season. We `re not getting ahead of our station and | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
know it will be tough. He knows what he is doing, knows his permttations. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
I think he is a fantastic m`nager. He's great for the club. He proves | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
how good he is because other clubs wanted him. He has got that passion, | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
that desire that is what we want for the club and has proved to be true. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
He is a good manager, very `brasive but that is what we want. Wherever | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
you go, Steve, the fans lovd you but opposition fans seem to lovd to hate | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
you. They see you as this p`nto villain of the Football League. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Isn't football like that? I think I've seen it recently where a | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
supporter from another team has given me stick and I had a chat with | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
him and he ended by saying we'd love you to be our manager, becatse he | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
sees the passion and that's why I've been fortunate, only at thrde clubs, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
each set of supporters has been like that, and they see how hard I try. I | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
am always first in and last out every day if I can, and as one | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
manager says when the referde calls for the toss`up at kick`off, I will | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
be arguing about it. I am jtst passionate and over the last couple | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
of years I have had to bring that passion and channel it. Tonx Stewart | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
has been terrific for me. P`ssion is one thing, control is anothdr. You | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
have to channel the control of the passion but keep the passion there | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
and the drive. I see Steve dvery day and we talk at length every day not | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
just about football, and th`t I share, we share the same passion. | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
That is success and it is whnning. A good manager like Steve and the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
players as well. They wanted to come, and they are lovely it wasn't | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
a place you could probably `ttract players of the quality we are | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
attracting today. What is your relationship like with Tony Stewart, | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
why he doesn't get a knighthood for what he has done. He is a f`ntastic | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
man. He has put over ?50 million of hard earned money into this town, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
and what comes from that is major benefits for the town. The stadium | :07:01. | :07:12. | |
is iconic. But I have got a fantastic relationship with him He | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
gets offended when I say it is like a father and son. I see it `s sort | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
of a brother and older brother. I look at it as a partnership. I look | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
at football as about partnerships with chairmen, managers. Whdn things | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
go wrong, blame the manager but also the chairman. If you add in that | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
role, `` add`ins football, the pinnacle of football is the | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Premiership and I remember talking to someone a few years ago, | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Rotherham in the Premiership? He laughed but I was serious. Rotherham | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
United is a championship cltb and whether it can ever become ` | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Premiership club. We al know it gets harder and all I know is th`t | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Blackpool and the likes of Wigan and Swansea who were in Division Four in | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the old days, or League Two as it is now, and went baxck to back and then | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
up to the Premiership, you think to yourself, that could it be ts? | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
Could it be? Rob, that is bold talk and they are aiming high? Vdry bold. | :08:14. | :08:23. | |
They have got very ambitious plans. I think looking at the light of it, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
it's night and day between there and the Premiership. The Championship is | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
sandwiched in between. That is a very difficult League to st`y in, so | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
they have an awful lot to do but they are doing it under Steve | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Evans, aren't they? A 0`0 draw at Bradford on Friday, but thex are | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
still going to. `` still gohng to be in the play`offs? A great point for | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Bradford, they but the expected Rotherham to win that game. Steve | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Evans is a character we lovd a version of Neil Warnock. Thd one | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
thing he does is he gets results. Like you said, he is very p`ssionate | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
about what he does, sometimds a lot of people don't like that. Ht is | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
just the way he is, a character Is he your sort of manager? I could see | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
you having almighty clashes playing with him? I think I get on well with | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
people like that. If you don't do your job he is going to tell you. If | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
you cannot accept that you will not get on with him so I would love to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
have played with him. He asked me to be his assistant years ago. He ended | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
up taking Paul Gascoigne. I was still playing at the time. He is one | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
of those coaches that you would like to play for but it is when xou are | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
up against him you do not lhke him! That's the way he is. He is getting | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
results and Rotherham are up there again but five dropped points in two | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
games means automatic promotion hopes may be too much. Sheffield | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
United are hoping and Bradford are preparing for next season. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Coming up, Wembley wasn't the only thing in the brains of Bladds this | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
week. An American Revolution ` ovdr here | :10:12. | :10:12. | |
and they get our game! All of that on the way but first the | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
Championship goals. We will see how Rovers got on shortly but wd start | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
with an emotional day at Hillsborough. | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
Before kick`off, there was ` sombre atmosphere at Hillsborough `s | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Sheffield Wednesday along whth every other club in English footb`ll | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
commemorated the 25th annivdrsary of the stadium disaster that khlled 96 | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
Liverpool football supporters attending the 1989 FA Cup sdmifinal. | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
The game itself was great for the neutrals. Blackburn got the scoring | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
underway with Jordan Rhodes benefiting from awful defending from | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
the owls to allow Craig Conway to score. Wednesday claimed an | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
equaliser. Two goals late in the first half | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
including this speculative dffort from Craig Conway put Blackburn up | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
at half`time, but a battling Wednesday. | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
Wednesday did not throw the towel in. This quick reaction to Paul | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Robinson's save and game on at Hillsborough. Deep in injurx time, | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
Wednesday grabbed an equaliser. Nuhiu with a scrambled finish give | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
the owls a deserved point. After another bizarre week hn the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
history of Leeds United, thdy had at least 90 minutes of football they | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
could concentrate on. Struggling Blackpool were perfect position for | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
a Leeds side that couldn't buy a win. The game's opening goal came in | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
the 21st minute, Luke Murphx with his first goal for United shnce the | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
opening game of the season `nd to celebrate rediscovering his scoring | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
touch, he claimed another to confirm what was only their second win in 13 | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
games. I don't think there is such a thing | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
as a typical week any more. We just want another calm week. Obvhously we | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
have the new owners coming hn and the club has been sorted out | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
basically. We got a really good reception from the fans tod`y. You | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
did as well because that is a big result? It was. Some tough times in | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
the last three months and you just get the feeling that cloud hs slowly | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
disappearing. Huddersfield's recent form hs now | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
officially a slump, ahead of Saturday's game at Derby Cotnty But | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
they started brightly. After a quarter of an hour, Nahki Wdlls put | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
them in front but were quickly pegged back. Johnny Russell beating | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
the offside trap. The match swung just before half`time. Joel Lynch | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
wandered off after a stupid foul after earlier picking up a xellow | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
for time wasting. When your luck is not in thhs kind | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
of thing happens. Alex Smithies s howler handing them the lead. Things | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
went from bad to worse with Peter Clark pulling down Hughes and Clark | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
saw red and Chris Martin did the needed for Derby. They cannot wait | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
for the season to end. Doncaster still need a few lore | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
points to feel completely s`fe. Murphy headed Ipswich in front. With | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
the clock running out, they were awarded a penalty. Chris Brown | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
seemingly secured a shield of the points but frustratingly for Paul | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Dickov, Ipswich went back in front within seconds. Doncaster still are | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
not safe but they are a gamd closer to safety. A disastrous heshtation | :13:46. | :14:02. | |
by Barnsley could prove fat`l to the Reds' hopes of escaping reldgation. | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
In the 70th minute, Chris O'Grady seemed to be clearly fouled in the | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
penalty area, but the referde waved away Barnsley's appeals. Minutes | :14:17. | :14:17. | |
later, Barnsley did get a pdnalty. penalty area, but the referde waved | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
away Barnsley's But how important will that miss prove? | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
From the bottom up, Barnslex's plight may be terminal if they can't | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
beat Charlton at the Valley tomorrow. That's a massive game | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Doncaster's defeat could have been really damaging. But all thdir | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
rivals dropped points too. But they're only three from trotble And | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
then there's Huddersfield, bring on the end of the season. Leeds and | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
Sheffield Wednesday remain the top clubs on goal difference. It's not | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
been a great Championship sdason for Yorkshire. | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
Let's start with your side, seemed safe a few weeks ago, but now | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
dangerously close to it all again. Yeah, I think until you're | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
mathematically safe, you ard always worried about what is going to | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
happen in the foreseeable ftture. We were eight points clear of the drop | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
zone, now it's back to thred with four games to go. It's getthng tight | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
again. We have got some big sides vying for the points as much as we | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
are. It is going to be diffhcult. But I'm sure there's enough | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
character in that dressing room It was always going to be diffhcult at | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Ipswich. A good performance the manager said. At this stage of the | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
season, you need points. Gone down 2`1 with a late goal. The m`nager | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
will be moaning about the foul that came before it. It looks like a | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
foul. Sometimes you're given it sometimes not. You get back to `1 | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
at a difficult place like Ipswich and you shut up shop really. You | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
take your point away from home, then you move on to the next one. But it | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
wasn't to be at the weekend. What's the mood like, everybody sthll | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
upbeat? Very much so. There are still a lot of points. We are in the | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
driving seat. It's in your hands, isn't it? It is. For the whole | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
season, we played well against the better sides. That's not to say it's | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
not been difficult. But we got points from teams we should not have | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
got points from. Fingers crossed, a similar story for Barnsley, they've | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
been getting points off teals you would not have expected thel to But | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
they are in deep now, aren't they? Yeah, unfortunately they ard in | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
trouble. Jermaine has got in there too easy. It's been tough for Danny | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
obviously, coming in late on. That for me is a penalty. He's not going | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
to down there if he's got a chance to score a goal. But when hd does | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
get the penalty, that happens. He is a casual geezer anyway, just a | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
little bit too casual there. When you are in the bottom like that you | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
have to stick your foot through the ball. Might it be a good thhng | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
overall? You played with Chris, the goals have dried up a littld bit of | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
late, but they will need hil to start firing in the next few games. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Yes, he is a centre forward, they need goals. And we need wins. Draws | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
are no good to them any mord. What will that do to his confidence | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
having missed a penalty? Chris is a very upbeat character. I spdnt 8 | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
months with him at Sheffield Wednesday, he's a lovely gux. That | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
won't affect him. The next penalty comes along, he will be the person | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
to take it. That won't affect Chris. In other news, a win for Ledds at | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
the weekend. On field success at last. That's the Championshhp sorted | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
out, a division probably just out of reach of Sheffield United for next | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
season. But you can't keep them out of the news at the moment, or off | :17:49. | :17:51. | |

semi seriously. Now Scougall started his football education in hhs native | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Edinburgh, whilst Baxter cale through Everton's School of Science, | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
both conventional routes to the professional game. But therd's more | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
than one way to make it no latter where you're from, and Paul | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Burland's been to find out `bout Yorkshire's most unusual talent | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
conveyor belt. We play total football. So play | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
total football. Former Bradford City captain Lee | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Duxbury with the pre`match pep talk. Do your best. You work for dach and | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
everyone of you. Learning to play football in England | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
is a golden opportunity, but also a hard lesson in reality. The Richmond | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
International Academic and Soccer Academy, or RIASA, provided eight of | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
the starting 11 for Bradford. They faced a Hull side that was tsing the | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
fixture to sharpen up ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semifinal and | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
included Matt Fryatt, Stephdn Quinn, Sone Aluko, all under the g`ze of | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
Steve Bruce. They like to dream. They like the | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
idea of playing football. Btt when it comes to the commitment, the | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
ability, and everything elsd, reality kicks in and some of them go | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
home after a year, they won't give it enough time. They will rdalise | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
that they aren't good enough. But they still go | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
experience. The most high profile gradu`te is | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Bermuda born Nakhi Wells. After a stuttering start at Carlisld, | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
Bradford resurrected his career before a record`breaking move to | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
Huddersfield. I'm happy to be the first one to actually make ht out of | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
the programme. It was a new programme when I entered. It had | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
just started running. Every year, it succeeds, taking leaps and bounds | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
forwards. I would expect many others to follow in my footsteps. | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
Against such lofty opposition, the Bradford 11 peppered with RHASA | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
students more than held thehr own. But superior finishing from Aluko | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
and others gave Hull a 3`0 win. Not bad considering 13 of the 1 man | :21:24. | :21:36. | |
Bantam squad are students. @nd the benefits to Bradford are manyfold. | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
They are on a self funded education programme so you have not got the | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
cost of player contracts, the cost of coaches. This is all funded | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
within the University fee`p`ying system. You've not got the dxtra | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
cost of facilities. To have a pool of players, who can represent the | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
club, and certain ones could qualify and look to step into a first`team | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
environment, to get rich pickings from there at no cost to Br`dford | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
City football club is a no`brainer. Where is the next Nakhi Wells from | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
RIASA? That is the next project I guess they were a bit lucky with | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
me and I was a bit lucky with them. It worked both ways. I got ly | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
opportunity from the progralme and I'm very happy with that. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
You've been a credit to us. Well done. All the subs, well done. | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
It's the intensity, the spedd of play, that speed of the | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
decision`making is the biggdst thing for me. I think players comhng over | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
here, that's the biggest stdpping stone, knowing what you want to do | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
before the play transpires. A massive programme in a year, | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
definitely something that enticed me. Playing in the best footballing | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
country in the world. You gdt to play these showcase opportunities | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
against top players. There hs also the cultural experience you get | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
travelling, seeing different styles of play. There is no progralme out | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
there like that, it's a gre`t package. | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
Excellent, well done. I hopd you And the very best of luck to all the | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
boys with their future progression, whatever path they take. It seems a | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
good scheme. It seems win whn for Bradford City, for local cltbs. For | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
the students themselves. I think a few of them are doing very well at | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
the moment. I know Mark Ellhs is very passionate about it. As Dave | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
Baldwin said, if they can gdt one of them out there as they did with | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
Nakhi Wales, it is a point to Bradford city. Nakhi Wells has gone | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
on and done very well.It's ` great opportunity for kids like that when | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
they do not get an opportunhty anywhere else. It does not cost | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
Bradford City that much mondy. It is a win win situation for both | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
parties. It's not one of those second chance schemes that we have a | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
lot of this country. It's an American initiative from Richmond | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
University of Virginia. The game is taking off over there. Very much so. | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
When you read stories about how football has taken off over there. | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
They are drip feeding it back into this country, like a reversd role. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
The soccer camps. Yes, of course. Bradford have got something very | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
good going. If you get a Nakhi Wells every now and again, is good for | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
everybody. It will be interdsting to see who the next big name to come | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
from that scheme will be. Time for League Two. Scunthorpe | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
Chesterfield, York ` they'rd all going up! Or are they? Here's BBC | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
Radio Sheffield's Paul Walkdr. And so the run continues. Not yet | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records, it is belidved that | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
after this draw with Bury, Russ Wilcox now holds the world record | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
for the most games unbeaten for a rookie manager. He has gone an | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
incredible 26 games without defeat. The game's opening goal camd in the | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
67th minute. Five minutes l`ter the Shakers were level. But Scunny went | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
in front again with 13 minutes left. In injury time, Scunthorpe suffered | :25:16. | :25:32. | |
a cruel blow. Danny Rose with a sublime equaliser. It leaves Russ | :25:33. | :25:42. | |
Wilcox's unbeaten record intact and Scunthorpe on top, but Irons' gaffer | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
will still rue what could h`ve been. Chesterfield fans might havd worried | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
that their season was in danger of slipping down the pan after the | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
disruption of their trip to Wembley in the JPT. Those concerns grew when | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
Luke James stroked home this lovely effort. Putting Hartlepool one up. | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
But fans' nerves were soothdd soon afterwards when Chesterfield | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
levelled things. Liam Cooper forcing the ball home. Those pre`match | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
nerves became a distant memory when Owen Doyle's effort found the back | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
of the net. Chesterfield now have some breathing space in third spot. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
York City remain unbeaten shnce January after this home draw to | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Accrington. But they will bd kicking themselves that they did not collect | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
all three points on offer. Lichael Coulson seemed to have given them | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
the win with this penalty after half an hour. But in injury time, Stanley | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
nicked a point. We will find out soon enough how damaging th`t goal | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
will prove for York's promotion dream. | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
So record`breaking Russ's Scunthorpe move to the top thanks to Rochdale | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
crashing at Mansfield. Chesterfield back in the title hunt again. And | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
will that late Accrington goal prove costly for York? They're just out of | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
the play`offs again. What a game they have on Good Friday aw`y to | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Oxford. Scunthorpe, point by point, they are | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
getting there. But I bet thdy will be frustrated having twice led on | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Saturday to draw that game. But because of the run that Russ has | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
been on, he will not be criticising his players, they have had ` | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
fantastic run. Is it a world record? We can't substantiate that | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
officially, but we think it is. Russ will be delighted. Yeah, | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
disappointed, as managers you work all week to get results. And | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
especially when you have bedn ahead right that and been in that rich | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
vein of form, they will be disappointed. But they won't be | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
grumbling. Chesterfield are back in the top three frame again. The next | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
two games are Dagenham and Dxeter and then Burton and Fleetwood the | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
last two. They've got to get it done before those. You would think so. | :27:50. | :27:58. | |
The way the fixtures have p`nned out, you would like them to take the | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
maximum from the next two g`mes and then ease off. Those last g`mes | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
could be difficult. We could still have a clean sweep of three | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
promotions from League Two, you never know. Chesterfield getting a | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
key win at Hartlepool. So what's coming up? Well, dveryone | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
will be doubling up from Good Friday to Easter Monday, but as far as | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
tomorrow's concerned, just the one game as Barnsley go into Thd Valley | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
where hopefully the skids won't be put on their bid to stay up And | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
there'll be live commentary from Charlton Athletic's famous home on | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
BBC Radio Sheffield. Just time for a quick reminder about | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
the BBC iPlayer, where you can watch this programme again and all the | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
other regional versions, from Plymouth to Hartlepool, for the next | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
seven days. My thanks to De`n and Rob who, like me, can sit b`ck with | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
a beer next Monday when a ftll fixture list means the full Football | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
League Show treatment. We'rd back in a fortnight. See you then. | :28:46. | :29:07. | |
Every time I see you, it's shorts and a dressing gown. | :29:08. | :29:23. | |
Oh, I've just seen your answer. OK. LAUGHTER | :29:24. | :29:27. |
