:00:12. > :01:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:01:05. > :01:10.that the two teams Burnley and Thank you. Two teams with a proud
:01:10. > :01:20.history looking for a return to the top flight. I am joined by Danny
:01:20. > :01:22.
:01:22. > :01:28.Mills. Thank you for turning up dress smartly. This is such a tight
:01:28. > :01:34.league. The Championship is always tight. Occasionally one team just
:01:34. > :01:43.runs away with it. But anyone could beat anyone else. Well let's have a
:01:43. > :01:48.look at your old club. In the last six games they had two wins, two
:01:48. > :01:55.defeats and two draws. We can catch up now with a roller-coaster few
:01:55. > :02:00.weeks. The results at the start of the
:02:00. > :02:10.campaign were far from ideal for Simon Grayson's site. Russell
:02:10. > :02:12.
:02:12. > :02:22.McCormick was in prolific form in front of goal. Nine goals in the
:02:22. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:26.opening 10 games. A run of five wins and two draws so at Leeds
:02:26. > :02:34.should up from 19th place to 5th and starting to look like promotion
:02:34. > :02:38.contenders. But goals and points have been hard to come by
:02:38. > :02:42.culminating in an embarrassing hammering to Blackpool. But with
:02:42. > :02:50.their tails between their legs, Grayson's team found their golden
:02:50. > :03:00.touch once again at Leicester. Adam Clayton and getting them back
:03:00. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:12.to their winning ways. Simon Grayson has chosen to bring some
:03:12. > :03:16.points back hopefully from Lancashire to Lincoln. They really
:03:16. > :03:21.need the goals today because they have had dodgy away form of late.
:03:21. > :03:27.It has been difficult for them. McCormack had a bit of a barren
:03:27. > :03:37.spell so he needs someone beside him. They have a lot of young
:03:37. > :03:42.players that have been away on-loan. But there is nobody yet, but they
:03:42. > :03:52.have not really found that striking partnership. And that is what they
:03:52. > :03:53.
:03:53. > :04:01.need. Jonathan Howson is always consistent. Absolutely and that
:04:01. > :04:06.partnership with Adam Clayton. They do have a good partnership.
:04:06. > :04:11.Jonathan Howson is yet to score or but they both want to play, they
:04:11. > :04:16.both want to pass the ball and they can control the game which is key.
:04:16. > :04:21.So they just need a little bit more or up front. Let's take a look now
:04:21. > :04:26.at Burnley. They have had a couple of defeats and they need to start
:04:26. > :04:31.picking up the points. They are in 18th place, just seven points
:04:31. > :04:36.behind Leeds. Just five points away from the bottom three so the next
:04:36. > :04:43.few weeks could define what has been a frustrating season of poor
:04:43. > :04:47.them so far. Cut the real Burnley please stand up? The site have
:04:47. > :04:52.delighted and frustrated in equal measure this season. For all points
:04:52. > :04:57.of the bottom of the table in September and growing discontent.
:04:57. > :05:06.But Charlie Austen's 6th goal of the season so them snatch a point
:05:06. > :05:11.from Southampton. And then they beat Millwall with a rare clean
:05:11. > :05:17.sheet. But with the defence was again at leaking goals and things
:05:17. > :05:24.drying up of the other end, it took something special glamorous -- rest
:05:24. > :05:32.Weller's to turn things around. Retailers continued to find the net
:05:32. > :05:42.ever since. But there Burnley, so have the opposition. The pressure
:05:42. > :05:46.
:05:46. > :05:50.is once again building. So Charlie Austen it seemed to be
:05:50. > :05:58.the main man and Paul Burley with eight goals already this season.
:05:58. > :06:02.Yes he had a fairy-tale start. At he does have a life for the goals.
:06:02. > :06:08.With barely where they are at the moment they needed to get that
:06:08. > :06:12.consistency. -- Bailey. Simon Grayson it was having a chat with
:06:13. > :06:19.me last night and he said that that is the key thing in this division,
:06:19. > :06:26.trying to get some results together on the trot. And that could just
:06:26. > :06:36.put them into the safety zone. macro is the most recent
:06:36. > :06:38.
:06:38. > :06:46.acquisition, he is on the bench today. -- Sam Vokes. I think he
:06:46. > :06:51.could do it for them. Again the consistency is the key. He need a
:06:51. > :06:56.good, solid base and a run of form. We have seen it in the past with
:06:56. > :07:04.Crystal Palace. They got promoted after a brilliant run around
:07:04. > :07:09.Christmas time. They need players who can find the back of the net.
:07:09. > :07:15.It is frustrating for the fans because they had that taste of the
:07:15. > :07:25.Premier League. Still in the position there in an owl, they
:07:25. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:34.expect them to be a little bit higher in Belleek. -- in the league.
:07:34. > :07:37.This game has a retro it feel to it. It is as double fixture. And
:07:37. > :07:45.hopefully we will live up to the billing to date and it should be a
:07:45. > :07:49.good game. It is a shame that Ross was could not make it. He has been
:07:49. > :07:55.an outstanding performer well as this season so he is a big loss
:07:55. > :08:00.today. But it gives someone else the opportunity. Lab been quite
:08:01. > :08:06.inconsistent this season. That is the biggest single area we have to
:08:06. > :08:11.strengthen. We had some good performances this year and then
:08:11. > :08:16.some not so good performances. would be fitting to serve up a good
:08:16. > :08:22.game in memory of Jimmy Adams and who died recently. Absolutely. We
:08:22. > :08:29.are fired up for the game there are a number of reasons. The passing of
:08:29. > :08:39.Jimmy, up we would to get a win for him today.
:08:39. > :08:57.
:08:57. > :09:01.And we were here about Jimmy Adams incredible career later on.
:09:02. > :09:05.I'm always intrigued to know what a young manager says in the dressing
:09:05. > :09:13.room. When you have players the same age or maybe a little bit
:09:13. > :09:23.older, how do you get the message over? Do you instantly get the
:09:23. > :09:29.respect? So it is intriguing. do you see happening today? IT that
:09:29. > :09:34.Leeds United will come in as the favourites. They always have a big
:09:34. > :09:40.following ad it will be a good atmosphere. Sometimes the early
:09:40. > :09:44.kick-offs, the players can take some time to get into their stride.
:09:44. > :09:52.Players love their routines and the early kick-off can flow of a man
:09:52. > :09:59.and Little. -- can flow them a little.
:09:59. > :10:07.There are coming out now on to the pitch. And we will have a minute of
:10:07. > :10:13.applause for the Bailey legends Jimmy Adams put -- Jimmy Adams.
:10:13. > :10:21.Time now to hand over to our match commentator. Guy Mowbray alongside
:10:21. > :10:31.Mark Wright. Good afternoon. It is a beautiful day. At a cracking and
:10:31. > :10:31.
:10:31. > :10:41.fixture in the N Power Championship. Finding consistency has been a
:10:41. > :10:46.problem for a burly. But in terms of points they are very close.
:10:46. > :10:51.It is with noting that in spite of it is slow at start and some dodgy
:10:51. > :10:57.performances, Leeds a one-point better off than the same stage last
:10:57. > :11:03.season. Great no always around the stadium
:11:03. > :11:08.as ever. They may have been in different divisions there a lot of
:11:08. > :11:18.that time over the years but there is a good health the rivalry
:11:18. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:45.Let's take a look at the teams. Benali, Keith Tracey comes in a
:11:45. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :12:05.foreign Ross Wallace. McIlduff is Leeds were dealt a blow yesterday
:12:05. > :12:07.
:12:07. > :12:17.with an injury problem, and Danny Pugh. Darren O'Dea is at the back.
:12:17. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:39.And Alex McCarthy is on loan from Jimmy Adams after the first half
:12:39. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:52.has been enjoy it. Six years as Burnley manager in the 1970s. 11
:12:52. > :12:57.days ago was a very sad day for the town when he died aged 82. And many
:12:57. > :13:07.of Leeds United supporters will remember him as he spent some time
:13:07. > :13:27.
:13:27. > :13:37.as their manager. Christmas can, J Moore will pay its respects with a
:13:37. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:03.one of its true greats with the death of Jimmy Adamson at the age
:14:03. > :14:13.of 82. He was at the Turf Moor Paul 30 years. As captain he guided the
:14:13. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:23.football club to Wembley in the FA Cup final. He made 486 appearances
:14:23. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:33.for Burnley. As manager, he led Burnley to the second division
:14:33. > :14:41.championship. He also managed Sunderland and Leeds United. Please
:14:41. > :14:51.join us in observing one minute of applause for the late, great Jimmy
:14:51. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :16:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:16:05. > :16:15.on all four sides of the ground. Now we are ready for the action
:16:15. > :16:20.between two of Jimmy Adamson's clubs, Burnley and Leeds. Some of
:16:20. > :16:27.you may have recognised some of the older faces in that line-up of
:16:27. > :16:34.Burnley legends. They will all be hoping for a Burnley win today.
:16:34. > :16:44.Leeds have any lost two of their last 11 games in the league. Their
:16:44. > :16:47.
:16:47. > :16:56.fans will fully expect them to win. Scott Mathieson starts proceedings.
:16:56. > :17:06.Early in their traditional claret and blue. The Leeds away kit got a
:17:06. > :17:14.
:17:14. > :17:24.mixed reception at the start of the season. Alongside me is Mark Bright.
:17:24. > :17:55.
:17:55. > :18:05.Burnley corner. A decent start. Rodriguez attacking early ball,
:18:05. > :18:22.
:18:22. > :18:32.just what you want when you are the another go at it. The ball was
:18:32. > :18:58.
:18:58. > :19:08.reaching a half-century of appearances for Burnley this
:19:08. > :19:24.
:19:24. > :19:28.you have started the season like he has done, you think you are never
:19:28. > :19:38.going to stop scoring. But they could do with some of his goals
:19:38. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:26.opening moments here. They are the the 18-yard box, Echenique to take
:20:26. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :21:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:21:07. > :21:17.a gamble. Anticipate somebody am not sure there was that much
:21:17. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:54.who was then caught and immediately the whistle goes for a free kick. -
:21:54. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:13.that he will ever since his head injury on his debut for Leeds a
:22:13. > :22:23.couple of seasons ago. He has had an injury nightmare, the Australian,
:22:23. > :22:57.
:22:57. > :23:05.only one appearance in the whole of ago at Leicester. He was closed
:23:06. > :23:15.down at the last minute there which makes him brush his shot. -- rushed

:23:16. > :25:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:25:04. > :25:14.pressure to Howson, he was not very Wolves. He is back at his home
:25:14. > :25:14.
:25:14. > :26:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:26:12. > :26:21.ground. He has been on loan eight advantages with Burnley. A
:26:21. > :26:29.wonderful cross, and Burnley have the lead! An absolute peach of a
:26:29. > :26:37.delivery from Trippier, met by their heads of Rodriguez. What a
:26:37. > :26:43.wonderful advantage played by a Scott Mathieson. What a cross from
:26:43. > :26:49.Trippier. This was the great decision, allowing the play to
:26:49. > :26:59.continue. Somebody has to come and close him down. A grade, deep
:26:59. > :27:17.
:27:17. > :27:22.delivery, downward header, just give yourself a mental pat on
:27:22. > :27:32.the back when that happens. Leeds will try to hit back straightaway
:27:32. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:50.the 1st October. 15 goals last season. Burnley born and bred,
:27:50. > :27:55.despite the exotic surname! It may strike us go through patches where
:27:55. > :28:03.you have a blinding spell and then that can be followed by a dry pouch.
:28:03. > :28:13.He has got the boot movement, a nice touch. -- he has got good
:28:13. > :28:16.
:28:16. > :28:22.movement. That was the kind of cross you ask for, coming away from
:28:22. > :28:28.the goalkeeper, making him straight. You had that role for many years.
:28:28. > :28:33.When you see that coming, do your eyes light up? It is the kind of
:28:33. > :28:37.all that strikers want at the end of a run. You commit yourself, you
:28:38. > :28:47.go 60 yards, and that is the kind of cross that you want, so that you
:28:48. > :29:27.
:29:27. > :29:37.as a Leeds United goalkeeper. Leeds throw, conceded by Duff. We have
:29:37. > :29:53.
:29:53. > :30:03.got what we expected - a goal. Better away than at home. Good
:30:03. > :30:22.
:30:22. > :30:32.decision. Good defending, too. decision for the ref. I am thinking,
:30:32. > :30:35.
:30:35. > :30:45.he is lucky to get away with that! There is a collision, that will be
:30:45. > :30:55.
:30:55. > :31:05.a Burnley free kick. Just trips Rodriguez over. Caught by gravity
:31:05. > :31:15.there, couldn't get off the floor. Stanlislas has yet to score for
:31:15. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :32:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:32:42. > :32:52.goal. Connolly stops him. Good play from Keith Treacy. Good control.
:32:52. > :32:56.
:32:56. > :33:06.Rodriguez is a threat when the ball is in the air. This is Trippier.
:33:06. > :33:39.
:33:39. > :33:49.just trying to steal a few yards. Clayton and Trippier know each
:33:49. > :34:18.
:34:18. > :34:28.other well. They were both members People talk about consistency in
:34:28. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:42.the championship. Should be a yellow card. Why would you debate
:34:42. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.that challenge? He is going to err on the side of leniency. A word in
:34:59. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:25.Michael Duff's ear. But it should be a yellow. Good deep cross.

:37:21. > :37:31.time as he would have liked. Austin could not hold it. Connolly foul on
:37:31. > :37:35.
:37:36. > :37:45.Treacy. Both teams giving away possession too easily. A clumsy
:37:46. > :37:46.
:37:46. > :38:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:38:56. > :39:06.player? He is. Talk is he will sign to get free of the attentions of
:39:06. > :39:39.
:39:39. > :39:49.Trippier off again. That is a decent touch from Treacy. A good
:39:49. > :40:01.
:40:01. > :40:11.save from McCarthy. Great acceleration to the 18 yard box.
:40:11. > :40:14.
:40:14. > :40:24.Straight into the side netting! Treacy gets the ball and just goes
:40:24. > :40:24.
:40:24. > :41:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds

:41:40. > :42:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:42:52. > :43:02.rash choices. O'Dea the offender in pain. He landed awkwardly.
:43:02. > :43:08.
:43:08. > :43:18.on his left side. Might be his shoulder. Major concern around him.
:43:18. > :43:24.
:43:24. > :43:34.Is is dislocated? It is just how you land. Looks painful. Never nice
:43:34. > :43:46.
:43:46. > :43:55.the major incidents so far. That was the main decision from the
:43:55. > :44:00.referee. Trippier goes too far without being confronted. It is a
:44:00. > :44:04.perfect cross for any striker. Still a little bit to do for
:44:04. > :44:08.Rodrigues but that happens in training every day. As a
:44:08. > :44:15.professional, you wish for that happen on the Saturday. Rodriguez
:44:15. > :44:25.was named the Championship Player of the Year at the north-west for
:44:25. > :44:52.
:44:52. > :45:02.manager, Eddie Howe. He is 34 in 10 days' time. And he were about to
:45:02. > :45:06.
:45:06. > :45:16.make up Port Vale debut! And Sam Vokes Fred is getting ready to make
:45:16. > :45:21.
:45:21. > :45:27.his debut. He only came yesterday. Unfortunate circumstances. That is
:45:27. > :45:32.one goal threat gone and I just wonder how long Charlie Austin will
:45:32. > :45:39.be gone for because that is obviously a serious arm injury. It
:45:40. > :45:45.is really good to see that Kisnorbo is the player attending to him.
:45:45. > :45:51.can go through these challenges all season, and nothing happens, it is
:45:51. > :45:59.just that one awkward one. It is just how are you land. It is a
:45:59. > :46:03.great shame. It looks as though his shoulder has popped out. Really
:46:03. > :46:13.unfortunate for him but an opportunity for Sam Vokes to come
:46:13. > :46:14.
:46:14. > :46:20.into the team. They Sam Vokes came on to score two in two minutes for
:46:20. > :46:30.Wales against Norway. One of his loan spells was at Leeds two years
:46:30. > :47:09.
:47:09. > :47:16.Rodriguez but I do not know why he stopped. He is in the middle of the
:47:16. > :47:26.pitch and if he continues to run he has a free strike at goal. I have
:47:26. > :47:54.
:47:55. > :48:04.fought the defender was going to Leeds fans who remember Bartley
:48:05. > :48:19.
:48:19. > :48:29.You make it difficult for your team mate to control that ball as it is
:48:29. > :48:45.
:48:45. > :48:49.Simon Grayson's team, to be honest. They are hovering outside the play-
:48:50. > :48:55.off position. They had a great run in September, unbeaten, which
:48:55. > :49:05.lifted them to the play-off positions. Then they any got one
:49:05. > :49:08.
:49:08. > :49:18.point in 10 games. -- they only got. We are getting confirmation that

:50:01. > :50:11.hand ball, how did they miss that? The arms were up to save it. Grant
:50:11. > :50:22.
:50:22. > :50:32.denying Leeds a clear goalscoring opportunity, as well. No doubt

:51:43. > :51:50.each. Cancel each other out, I he was. He is complaining to the
:51:50. > :51:56.referee but I think he was using his arm to pulled him back. He is
:51:56. > :52:02.saying McCormack died, but he appeared to me to have hold of him.
:52:02. > :52:12.This is a good position. He is the wrong side NGC him holding his hand.

:57:02. > :57:15.
:57:15. > :57:25.assistant has a great you of it. -- for the injury to Charlie Austin,
:57:25. > :57:38.
:57:39. > :57:48.in particular. The dislocated that is a good cross, into a good
:57:49. > :58:19.
:58:19. > :58:27.area. But Leeds have not really a moment, there was a player coming
:58:27. > :58:33.in on the overlap. For Burnley, Trippier has been willing to get
:58:33. > :58:37.forward and delivered the cross for the goal. But the backs for Leeds
:58:37. > :58:47.have not really ventured forward that much. A do not know that is
:58:47. > :59:10.
:59:10. > :59:20.part of the plan for the first half of a lot. His assistant should have
:59:20. > :59:32.
:59:32. > :59:42.helped him. Here is Treacy, taking on Clayton and beating him.
:59:42. > :00:00.
:00:00. > :00:10.just puts a deep cross in. Not much else he can do with that. McCarthy
:00:10. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:57.which did not get the better of Aiden White. That was close from
:00:57. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:18.McCann! Lovely piece of Burnley play. What a goal that would have
:01:18. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:37.been. The Burnley captain also has had problems with injury. Only
:01:37. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:05.seven games in the top flight. No card yet. We should have had one
:02:05. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:25.red possibly, for the keeper. Leeds players did not appeal. It
:02:25. > :02:35.probably will not even be spoken about in the changing room. Grant
:02:35. > :02:45.
:02:45. > :02:55.anticipated that well. Maybe third time lucky. He will get a third
:02:55. > :03:33.
:03:33. > :03:43.chance, the way this game is going. Trippier, I think that will be
:03:43. > :03:53.going in the book. Holds his hand up, fair cop. No question about
:03:53. > :04:05.
:04:05. > :04:15.that. He has committed himself all the way. Tippier lives up to his
:04:15. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:35.name! Rodriguez! Well saved by McCarthy. What a touch! Did
:04:35. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:54.everything right there. Both defenders chasing him. The referee
:04:54. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:06.is going to have to separate them. He did well to let play go on.
:05:06. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:37.McCarthy saves it! Great strike. Excellent save, full stretch.
:05:37. > :05:38.
:05:38. > :05:48.Stanislas corner, just too high for Edgar. What a good save that was.
:05:48. > :05:51.
:05:51. > :06:01.No question that it was going in. I think that tackle is too high. It
:06:01. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:28.looks reckless. Good finish. Lee Grant will be on for the second
:06:29. > :06:34.half. Trippier the only player half. Trippier the only player
:06:34. > :06:41.booked. It seems as if there should have
:06:41. > :06:46.been a lot rare goals. Great action, a great atmosphere. But it was
:06:46. > :06:53.Burnley who dominated that first 20 minutes or so. That goal was the
:06:53. > :07:01.proof of that. But dean macro did get back into it as it went on. --
:07:01. > :07:11.Leeds. Some controversial incidents which we will take a look at in a
:07:11. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:21.moment. Burnley just edging it. They had greater possession. Leeds
:07:21. > :07:26.just did not seem to get into that? It took them a while. This can
:07:26. > :07:32.sometimes happen with the early kick-off. Burnley came out and
:07:32. > :07:38.played really well. They got Leeds on the back foot and that continued.
:07:38. > :07:45.Leeds have not really got their game going. It has been about
:07:45. > :07:51.Burnley. They created some really good space down the flanks. Looking
:07:51. > :07:55.at the game, it seemed as if it was all Burnley. Leeds had a little
:07:55. > :08:00.spell but in general Burnley are dominated possession and created
:08:00. > :08:10.more chances. I think that Leeds have been sleeping and Burnley have
:08:10. > :08:14.had a go with them. Let's take a look of the goal. Rodriguez a much-
:08:14. > :08:21.fancied, highly rated player. started the game really well. The
:08:21. > :08:26.referee did really well letting this free-kick go. Sam gets sucked
:08:26. > :08:36.into the midfield. Not aware of what is behind him. That creates a
:08:36. > :08:46.big space over there. And look at the runner up front. Rodriguez
:08:46. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:53.behind him, he does not see that. And look at the space that the
:08:53. > :08:58.full-backs got. It is a fantastic cross. Once you have that
:08:58. > :09:03.midfielder going into the box. I think Leeds lacked a bit of
:09:03. > :09:07.communication, defensively. Not really terrible mistakes, but they
:09:07. > :09:16.have just been in the wrong positions. They have been a bit
:09:16. > :09:24.sluggish. They need to liven it up in the second half. Keep tree seat
:09:24. > :09:30.taking advantage of that. -- Keith Treacy. It is the same thing as the
:09:30. > :09:37.defenders, you have to be in the correct position. Look at that
:09:37. > :09:41.space they leave behind, no one is covering that. And in the end
:09:41. > :09:51.McCarthy makes a good save. But time and again they are getting
:09:51. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:07.into positions where they can cross the ball. It is poor defending. He
:10:07. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:13.cannot turn, cannot go anywhere. They make his mind up for them. By
:10:13. > :10:22.running at him like that they almost say, there is a big space
:10:22. > :10:27.behind. Disappointment for Burnley. We talked about Charlie Ulster a
:10:27. > :10:32.head of the match and how important he has been for them. But that
:10:32. > :10:41.shoulder injury has taken him out of the game. Added slowed things
:10:41. > :10:45.down. -- and it. The incident looks quite innocuous. You often see that
:10:45. > :10:51.in football, some of the worst injuries come about from almost
:10:51. > :10:55.nothing. It does not look as if he landed especially heavily. But he
:10:55. > :11:02.is in the wrong position. He could be out for at one months, three
:11:02. > :11:06.months. A row they were treating him, there was a bit of a break and
:11:06. > :11:14.Leeds seemed to just get back into it. They created a couple of
:11:14. > :11:19.chances. They had that handball that never was. The referee has had
:11:19. > :11:25.a decent game but how he missed this, I will never know. If that is
:11:25. > :11:31.not a handball, I do not know what is. That has to be as sending off.
:11:31. > :11:41.It has got to be. He is well outside the box, the Lions manager
:11:41. > :11:42.
:11:42. > :11:51.is looking directly at that. -- the lines plan. And in the end I think
:11:51. > :11:59.it is a decent save. Going back to the handball, none of the Leeds
:11:59. > :12:07.players appealed. Everyone else seemed to see it. We shouted hand
:12:07. > :12:12.ball straight away. Romiley eat you would have several players around
:12:12. > :12:17.the referee putting a bit of pressure on him. Leeds them kind of
:12:17. > :12:27.went off the boil again. And at the end of that half it was all Burnley
:12:27. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:34.again. Lurid Sammut IT has one or two problems. -- lurid Sam. He is a
:12:34. > :12:39.right winger. And the fashion now is to play the players on their
:12:39. > :12:45.wrong foot. He has been drifting inside were the time, leaving big
:12:45. > :12:53.spaces. And Burnley are making the most of that. But that is the job
:12:53. > :12:59.of the full-back. We talked before about standing still and that is
:12:59. > :13:07.not a bad thing to do it on a football pitch at times. He was
:13:07. > :13:15.doing a job by covering that area. And in injury time, Burnley out
:13:16. > :13:22.looking to convert none of their many chances. It was a long ball,
:13:22. > :13:31.gets a fantastic touch from Rodriguez. And he is away. He just
:13:31. > :13:41.did not get it away. I felt it should have grown in and the other
:13:41. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:05.That looked good could save when you first saw it and then you see
:14:05. > :14:11.it again and it is fantastic. He has kept them in with a chance.
:14:12. > :14:16.Simon Grayson has to say something positive at half-time. Mark Bright
:14:16. > :14:26.pinks the full-backs have got to get more involved. You may disagree,
:14:26. > :14:27.
:14:27. > :14:34.due often do! Time to consider at her and the legend. Jimmy Adamson
:14:34. > :14:40.captained the club and was crowned footballer of the Year in 1962.
:14:40. > :14:48.Jimmy Adamson was born in Northumberland. He escaped the pit
:14:48. > :14:53.to join Burnley at 17. He played the game simply but his economy and
:14:53. > :14:59.the skills dovetailed with his close friend Jimmy Mackle Roy.
:14:59. > :15:05.Together they powered Burnley to the league title in 1960. As a
:15:05. > :15:12.player, he reached his peak in 1962, voted English footballer of the
:15:12. > :15:22.years. He led to his team to the FA Cup final but Jimmy Greaves's
:15:22. > :15:25.
:15:25. > :15:29.Tottenham proved too strong. When he retired after 486 games for
:15:29. > :15:36.Burnley, he was rewarded with roles as coach and their manager, where
:15:36. > :15:43.he oversaw relegation, promotion and eventual stability. When he
:15:43. > :15:48.finally left his beloved Lancashire, success was harder to find. He
:15:48. > :15:55.returns to his adopted home town in 1980, never to work in football
:15:55. > :16:01.again. Over the years, affection remained. At his funeral on Monday,
:16:01. > :16:10.crowds lined the street and applauded, in salute of Jimmy
:16:10. > :16:16.Adamson, one player, one club, one word, legend. As we heard, his
:16:16. > :16:26.closest friend was Northern Ireland international Kimi Roy, who is
:16:26. > :16:29.
:16:29. > :16:37.sharing his memories now. What When I look back, I think how lucky
:16:37. > :16:42.I was to have a player of Jimmy Adamson playing behind me. In fact,
:16:42. > :16:51.when I played for Northern Ireland I felt lucky again, because I had
:16:51. > :16:56.Danny Blind Flower playing behind me. But to have somebody like Jimmy,
:16:56. > :17:05.he was a superb for Paula. He was Player of the Year up once and
:17:05. > :17:10.apparently I was second in that line-up. They will never be another
:17:10. > :17:16.Jimmy Adamson, as far as I am concerned. He went into management
:17:16. > :17:21.but he was a one-club player. He was offered the England job, why
:17:21. > :17:27.did he turned that down? I think he turned it down because we knew he
:17:27. > :17:33.would make a top-class coach. But I think that England job came too
:17:33. > :17:38.soon. If he had a year or or two more of experience I'm sure he
:17:38. > :17:44.would have taken it. But he was big enough to say I do not think I am
:17:44. > :17:49.good enough just yet. He would be happy with this Burnley performance
:17:49. > :17:55.this afternoon, wouldn't he? Yes, I think we are all happy. They are
:17:55. > :18:04.really playing better today, this is the best I have seen them play
:18:04. > :18:08.this season. Thanks, lovely memories of Jimmy Adamson.
:18:08. > :18:13.second harp is coming up shortly but there is another game under way
:18:14. > :18:23.in the Premier League. Norwich took the lead but Arsenal got back into
:18:24. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:03.Something Special tomorrow on Match Of The Day. Beautiful control,
:19:03. > :19:13.Fernando Torres! The world is gripped by this epic saga. He has
:19:13. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:21.crossed the divide. They are usually fairly entertaining
:19:21. > :19:31.matches! Chelsea against Liverpool and a look back of all today's
:19:31. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:42.action. Lee Dixon will be there. Who else is there? I am not sure!
:19:42. > :19:47.You just work on a day-to-day basis. What have Leeds got to do in the
:19:47. > :19:52.second half? They have to be more positive. They have sat back a
:19:52. > :19:56.little bit. McCormack has not had support and Keogh has not been in
:19:56. > :20:03.the game. They have great quality and they have to get players going
:20:03. > :20:07.forward. If not, it will be all Burnley. It has been a bit up and
:20:07. > :20:11.down for them so far this season. They look like they were losing
:20:11. > :20:20.touch of it and they have got themselves back in touch. Have they
:20:20. > :20:26.been not as consistent as last season? For me, Leeds our liking
:20:26. > :20:32.just one very special player. They have the basis of a good squat.
:20:32. > :20:37.Since Beckford has gone, the player he got 30 goals in a season,
:20:37. > :20:42.McCormack has done well but he has not found a strike partner. Keogh
:20:42. > :20:47.has come in and Doni scored a couple of goals. They lacked
:20:47. > :20:53.something special. Ken Bates says they should be higher up the table.
:20:53. > :20:58.It is such a competitive league and nobody saw Southampton or
:20:58. > :21:04.Middlesbrough coming in and doing so well. I spoke to Simon Grayson
:21:04. > :21:07.last night and he was saying we have not spent a lot, we have spent
:21:07. > :21:17.7 million bombed the crowned, he is juggling the books and doing the
:21:17. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:23.best he can with the players. -- �7 million spent on the ground.
:21:23. > :21:30.Bates came into Leeds when they were down-and-out and he saved the
:21:30. > :21:34.club. What do you think of him, he has done not a bad job for Leeds.
:21:34. > :21:39.Burnley not far from the relegation places but also not far from the
:21:39. > :21:44.top six. It is half-time and they are playing a very good Leeds side.
:21:44. > :21:49.If they get their passing game, they will have it tough half. But I
:21:49. > :21:54.have been impressed with Rodriguez up front. With the fans behind than
:21:54. > :21:59.they have a chance here. There was a big Leeds come back here last
:21:59. > :22:09.season. Let us rejoin the commentary team who have no doubt
:22:09. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:21.been enjoying the local pies, Mark Wright and guide may break. -- Guy
:22:21. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:34.coffee and a biscuit! Leeds were 2- 0 down here last November and they
:22:34. > :22:43.won 3-2. Burnley have not kept a clean sheet at home in 18 games.
:22:43. > :22:49.The last one was against Crystal Palace. Goal chances to come, I
:22:49. > :22:59.would think, for both teams. First- half, very enjoyable. It finished
:22:59. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:14.came here and sat back a little bit. The key thing is getting people
:23:14. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:29.forward, try to control the midfield area. It is less than 30
:23:29. > :23:46.
:23:46. > :23:56.miles as the crow flies, due west, pairing for Burnley in the first
:23:56. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:01.half. Treacy, and when he was at Blackburn, was rated by Sam
:24:01. > :24:11.Allardyce as their brightest prospect but he never quite got
:24:11. > :24:28.
:24:28. > :24:38.getting hold of 30 two Fred. Sometimes that kind of thing goes

:25:58. > :26:04.Winder. He is barrel-chested. -- three places with a win today.
:26:04. > :26:14.think Eddie Howe would say to them I want a clean sheet and much more
:26:14. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:50.in the second half. They are just keep the ball. All the way
:26:50. > :27:00.back to McCarthy because of the Burnley pressure. And could Burnley

:27:46. > :27:53.field. He does not seem to be playing with as much confidence as
:27:53. > :27:58.I had seen in the past. That was a poor decision. It was almost like a
:27:58. > :28:08.roll of the dice, that option. was so far out and there were a
:28:08. > :28:44.
:28:44. > :28:54.beat players who are in position. You have to have movement in the
:28:54. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :30:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:30:11. > :30:21.team. The whistle has been sounded Burnley fans. Trippier. Great touch
:30:21. > :30:29.
:30:29. > :30:39.from Vokes. But you have to have people gambling. Someone else has
:30:39. > :30:39.
:30:39. > :31:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:31:22. > :31:32.to come in and support him. Only positions. Snodgrass cannot get it
:31:32. > :31:42.
:31:42. > :31:52.through. Patient play from Leeds, a little bit better. Brian Easton
:31:52. > :31:52.
:31:52. > :33:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:33:29. > :33:39.lot better. Still plenty of time Easton going to wind up a long one
:33:39. > :33:58.
:33:58. > :34:08.here. Trippier, Howson invited to challenge for it. A powerful drive.
:34:08. > :34:16.
:34:16. > :34:26.And a free kick. Bartley did so well here, great determination. He
:34:26. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :34:52.draws the foul. An easy decision to give! Trippier and Stanislas have
:34:52. > :35:09.
:35:09. > :35:19.had one each. Maybe Treacy. Is he going to test the Leeds keeper
:35:19. > :35:25.
:35:25. > :35:35.again? He does, and McCarthy is up to it again! The important thing is
:35:35. > :35:56.
:35:57. > :36:06.it does not come loose. Howson trying to barge his way through. A
:36:07. > :36:11.
:36:11. > :36:21.Leeds free-kick. Takes a little chance there. Could have been a
:36:21. > :36:27.
:36:28. > :36:37.throw. Leeds not quite ready to make the changes yet. They have
:36:38. > :37:02.
:37:02. > :37:12.been waiting for a while. McCormack making way. Nunez and Becchio both
:37:12. > :37:39.
:37:40. > :37:49.scored earlier this week. Two for two? Two strikers? Keogh and
:37:50. > :38:11.
:38:11. > :38:21.McCormack have made way. Leeds need something else to change. Vokes in
:38:21. > :38:33.
:38:33. > :38:43.that near post position. He is winning them every time. He should
:38:43. > :38:51.
:38:51. > :39:01.be saying to the mid-field players, you have got to take a chance.
:39:01. > :39:20.
:39:20. > :39:30.solid game is what Leeds needed. Andy Lonergan still out with a
:39:30. > :39:39.
:39:40. > :39:49.broken finger. Blocked by Easton. Looking at the run of Burnley games,
:39:49. > :39:59.they have two won, two lost. Everyone talks about consistency in
:39:59. > :40:13.
:40:13. > :40:20.this league. That is the key thing here. I have watched a few games in
:40:20. > :40:30.the championship and you cannot tell who is up and who is down.

:12:33. > :12:39.Leeds came back into it in the second half, they were more
:12:39. > :12:44.positive. I think Burnley and will be disappointed but Leeds have
:12:44. > :12:50.shown great resilience. They kept going, kept pushing the are that
:12:50. > :12:54.little chance. They did not create golden moments but in the end they
:12:54. > :13:00.came away with three vital points. I think Simon Grayson got stuck
:13:00. > :13:04.into them at half-time. In the first half they did not have any
:13:04. > :13:10.fluidity to their passing. But then they came out a different kind of
:13:10. > :13:14.team. And Snodgrass put it under pressure at the other end. I think
:13:14. > :13:20.Simon Grayson will be pleased in the way that they are changed it
:13:20. > :13:28.and played a lot better. It is a good result. Burnley have to keep
:13:28. > :13:38.it going in the second half and they did not do that. Well weaken
:13:38. > :13:46.
:13:46. > :13:53.Was it in your mind that a similar thing happened last season? You s,
:13:53. > :13:57.it was. When you ourselves we had to get out here. Look at these fans,
:13:57. > :14:04.they are unbelievable. The game looked like he was slipping away
:14:04. > :14:08.from you and they had a lot of the ball. That is what happens. We knew
:14:08. > :14:13.what to do. Especially in this league, because everybody beats
:14:13. > :14:21.everybody. We know what to expect in this league. It is very tough
:14:21. > :14:27.every game. Burnley made it very difficult for us. But we have to
:14:27. > :14:37.keep on doing what we did in the second half. Can I dedicate their
:14:37. > :14:37.
:14:37. > :14:46.goals to my friend's kid who passed away one Europe go tomorrow. -- one
:14:46. > :14:53.years. I think they will be disappointed with how they gave the
:14:53. > :15:03.goal away, Burnley. I think the back four has to come out. It is
:15:03. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:21.too deep. But the offside rule Eddie Howe will be disappointed.
:15:21. > :15:25.The player at the far post does not know where Snodgrass is. He has to
:15:25. > :15:30.have his shoulders facing down the pitch so he can see everything. By
:15:30. > :15:36.the time the ball comes in, Snodgrass does fantastic do well
:15:36. > :15:40.because he has really gone with his wrong foot. A great ball in, but as
:15:40. > :15:43.a full-back on that far post you have to have your back to goal and
:15:43. > :15:53.you have been looking almost down the pitch so you can see who is
:15:53. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :16:02.coming behind you. Let us see the winner. Snodgrass takes the corner
:16:02. > :16:07.and follows the ball in. There is confusion and that is a great
:16:07. > :16:17.finish. He has done fantastically well. Because he has taken the
:16:17. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:24.corner, he trypsin, unmarked. He had to take that early. Was the
:16:24. > :16:29.goalkeeper a bit static? It is very close. He hits it into the ground
:16:29. > :16:36.and the bounce makes it awkward. You have to have two players on the
:16:36. > :16:46.post. They just had one on the near post. That us remind ourselves of
:16:46. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:53.the goal from Rodriguez in the first half. They were big gaps. Sam
:16:53. > :17:03.gets dragged into midfield which creates the space. He had one thing
:17:03. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:15.on his mind, to get the ball into the box. It is a great ball in.
:17:15. > :17:19.Again, Leeds had problems with the two wide players. It caused them
:17:19. > :17:24.problems in the first half but, to be fair, it Simon Grayson stuck
:17:24. > :17:30.with it and in the second half it worked for them. Was it a
:17:30. > :17:34.legitimate shed for a penalty? think we might disagree here. I do
:17:34. > :17:41.not think it was. If it was giving you could probably understand why
:17:41. > :17:47.it was given. But when you see it close there, he has a little bite,
:17:47. > :17:57.first of all. And I think that he gets the ball. I think he makes
:17:57. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:10.You have to give the referee credit because White does get a touch on
:18:10. > :18:20.the ball. He does not get a replay, and Digby guessing that, he is a
:18:20. > :18:22.
:18:22. > :18:28.better referee than I thought it was! The Leeds players did not
:18:28. > :18:35.protest on the pitch about this one. The linesman is literally looking
:18:35. > :18:45.straight at that. How he has not seem to a hand ball. An important
:18:45. > :18:47.
:18:47. > :18:52.three points for Simon Grayson. It keeps Leeds in position with some
:18:52. > :18:56.big games happening today. You have the South Coast derby and
:18:56. > :19:06.Middlesbrough also in action. puts pressure on those other teams.
:19:06. > :19:07.
:19:07. > :19:11.They are thinking now we have to Simon, many congratulations.
:19:11. > :19:16.Another comeback from Leeds. We did not play well enough in the first
:19:16. > :19:20.half. We gave them too much time on the ball. In the second up we knew
:19:20. > :19:25.we had to up the tempo and get in amongst them and get balls into the
:19:25. > :19:29.box. We should start games like that and be more positive in what
:19:29. > :19:33.we do. But ultimately it is a result business and we have played
:19:33. > :19:37.far better than that this season and lost. How do you explain this
:19:37. > :19:42.amazing away form that Leeds had the season? I think it has
:19:42. > :19:46.something to do with 4000 Leeds fans being here and backing the
:19:46. > :19:50.team. We have a tremendous character about the team that they
:19:50. > :19:53.never give up. They are learning team and have to do things better
:19:54. > :19:59.at times but you would not be able to question the character than they
:19:59. > :20:04.have. Do you have that you want the instant in the first half where the
:20:04. > :20:09.keeper handled outside the area? looks like he has handled it but
:20:09. > :20:14.the referee has missed it. It is easy for me to talk about a
:20:14. > :20:20.decision but we have won the game. Two goals for Robert Snodgrass, how
:20:20. > :20:24.important is he for you? He is a good player, he is an international
:20:24. > :20:29.player. We said to the two wide players do you need to get the ball
:20:29. > :20:35.back into the box a bit more and Snodgrass has reached the reward
:20:35. > :20:41.with two goals from the far post. That result will put you back in
:20:41. > :20:44.the play-off makes. Good night for Leeds. It is. We will see where the
:20:45. > :20:49.results go this afternoon. We have a lot to do and it is where you
:20:49. > :20:57.while at the end of April, but we feel we have an opportunity. We
:20:57. > :21:04.have done what we needed to do They go back to Yorkshire with
:21:04. > :21:14.three points. Plenty more football to come on the BBC today. Let us
:21:14. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:22.Plenty of football this afternoon for us to argue over in the studio.
:21:22. > :21:31.One games in the Premier League is already over and it happened at
:21:31. > :21:35.Carrow Road. Arsenal beat Norwich 2-1. Robin van Persie with two
:21:35. > :21:45.goals and five wins in a row for Arsenal. They had to come from
:21:45. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:57.But Arsenal took the three points and they are now up to sixth in the
:21:57. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:07.table. They are level with Chelsea and Spurs. Chelsea have won a game
:22:07. > :22:17.in hand, which is the game tomorrow against Liverpool. Norwich stake in
:22:17. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:27.That early results did not affect the bottom of the table but it
:22:27. > :22:33.highlights one of the big games, we can against Blackburn. There are
:22:33. > :22:43.some big battles in the lower half of that decision but there was a
:22:43. > :22:43.
:22:44. > :22:47.Very much so. You think how badly they started the season. Starting
:22:47. > :22:52.to put their consistency Together and moving in the right direction.
:22:52. > :22:56.It is difficult to go to Carrow Road, nobody else has bomb their
:22:57. > :23:03.this season. It has moved in the right direction and Robin van
:23:03. > :23:08.Persie is a delight to watch at the moment. You cannot forget how badly
:23:08. > :23:13.they started this season. I said a few weeks ago, when they were
:23:13. > :23:17.threatening to do this, that if they get it right, Arsenal, they
:23:17. > :23:25.will be a real threat. They will say that the table never lies but
:23:25. > :23:31.it does not tell the truth exactly. They are in fourth position, its
:23:31. > :23:35.same points as Chelsea, but of the teams, Chelsea are playing the
:23:35. > :23:40.lesser pop also Arsenal will now become a real threat. Another big
:23:40. > :23:44.game this afternoon is Manchester City against Newcastle. Two
:23:44. > :23:48.unbeaten sides in the Premier League. You would have had good
:23:48. > :23:55.money against that at the start of the season. You would, but they
:23:55. > :24:02.have put so much work into their team. Their work ethic, they are
:24:02. > :24:07.unbelievable. But Manchester City will be too good. It promises to be
:24:07. > :24:17.a fascinating games. If Newcastle get anything out of this I will

:24:59. > :25:07.back up-to- fourth place. At the bottom of the table, Burnley are
:25:07. > :25:17.still in 18th. Worryingly close to the drop zone. This afternoon, at
