Our penultimate game features another of the league's unbeaten

0:00:090:00:19
0:00:190:00:22

Evening. Hope you've been making the most of the mini-heatwave. And

0:00:220:00:25

with temperatures up in the 80s, you'd think the football season had

0:00:250:00:28

only just kicked off. But it's October and we're already a quarter

0:00:280:00:32

of the way through. And the Npower Football League continues to be

0:00:320:00:35

just as unpredictable as the weather. None of the Championship's

0:00:350:00:37

top five won in midweek, which meant Southampton, Middlesbrough

0:00:370:00:40

and Derby were level on ponts, heading into Saturday. Steve

0:00:400:00:43

Claridge takes us through the day's events across all three divisions.

0:00:430:00:46

So, here's what's coming up this evening. Derby County already have

0:00:460:00:50

one East Midlands scalp to their name this season - after seeing off

0:00:500:00:53

Forest, could Nigel Clough's men take another one in the form of

0:00:530:00:55

Leicester City? Malky Mackay's Cardiff toppled Southampton in

0:00:550:00:59

midweek - the Bluebirds were hoping to maintain that momentum when they

0:00:590:01:02

travelled to Hull. We've the best of the action from Elland Road

0:01:020:01:06

where, after a shaky start to the season, Leeds were looking up going

0:01:060:01:09

into their game with Steve Cotterill's Portsmouth. And I've

0:01:090:01:12

been spending my morning round at Nolberto Solano's house and my

0:01:120:01:14

afternoon watching his team Hartlepool United, who were hoping

0:01:140:01:17

to extend their club record unbeaten start to the season at

0:01:170:01:23

home to Sheffield Wednesday. Our first stop tonight is the East

0:01:230:01:27

Midlands, as rivals Leicester and Derby squared up to each other at

0:01:270:01:30

the King Power stadium. It was the 100th competitive meeting between

0:01:300:01:33

these two sides. Unbeaten in six games, Sven's Leicester were

0:01:330:01:35

showing signs of improvement while high-fliers Derby were gunning for

0:01:350:01:43

their seventh win in 10 league games. Leicester made three changes

0:01:430:01:46

from the team that played out the goal-less draw at Middlesbrough

0:01:460:01:49

While Derby were unchanged from the team that drew with Barnsley.

0:01:490:01:59
0:01:590:02:14

just palmed away. The former England international Paul

0:02:140:02:24
0:02:240:02:32

Fernandez. And they would reject is away, it is 1-0, 2 Leicester. --

0:02:320:02:41

David Nugent is away. And didn't he take it well? David Nugent with his

0:02:410:02:46

third goal of the season. He puts Leicester in front. Against their

0:02:460:02:56
0:02:560:03:25

local rivals. And that is what it Roberts. Gareth Roberts in the

0:03:250:03:32

right place, to clear away they header from Sol Bamba. They will

0:03:330:03:39

pay attention to Sol Bamba in the future, no doubt about that! No one

0:03:390:03:49
0:03:490:03:52

in a derby County Show able to get on the end of the cross. -- Derby

0:03:520:04:00

County shirt. The chase on for A king, and David Nugent! It did

0:04:010:04:05

appear to strike the hand of the Leicester City striker, and the

0:04:060:04:13

flag has been raised. The ball bounces up, just there. He can see

0:04:130:04:22

A fielding looking to the officials. The ball bounces up, there. --

0:04:220:04:32
0:04:320:04:41

sell, no doubt about this one. Leicester City thought they had

0:04:420:04:47

gone two up, and when his widow, they hat. That goal disallowed, but

0:04:470:04:55

Leicester not too happy about it. There I used to sell gets his

0:04:550:05:05
0:05:050:05:18

second goal of the season. -- Scottish international. Has a

0:05:180:05:25

couple of goals this season. As time goes on, Derby County are

0:05:260:05:29

going to have to throw more and more players forward, in an effort

0:05:300:05:39
0:05:400:06:04

his way through. Almost getting there as well. Leicester get a

0:06:040:06:10

corner. Steve Howard looking for one last effort from the Leicester

0:06:100:06:20
0:06:200:06:22

fans to help the home team on. It might be now! Jeffrey Schlupp! And

0:06:220:06:26

that is clearly over the line, even though Ben Davies look to the

0:06:260:06:36
0:06:360:06:38

assistant. There was no way he can claim it was even a close call. A

0:06:380:06:48
0:06:480:06:50

minimum of five minutes at that time to be played.-added time. Is

0:06:500:06:54

there time for Leicester to get another goal? It is true the legs

0:06:540:07:01

of brick building, and Lloyd Dyer makes it 4-0 in stoppage time. The

0:07:010:07:06

evening gets better and better for Leicester. For Derby County and

0:07:060:07:12

their goalkeeper in particular, it is head in hands time. Asset to the

0:07:120:07:17

lads that it is all right in one game. We will start again against

0:07:170:07:23

the league leaders and two weeks. We deserved to win. We played very

0:07:230:07:31

good football. In the first half, all the Porter five minutes,

0:07:310:07:38

chances, two goals. Second half, they came back, but the end of the

0:07:380:07:44

game was end to end. It was a good win and a very good performance. I

0:07:440:07:50

am very happy, as a team, with another clean sheet. Not happy with

0:07:500:07:53

the first half today but over the last 10 games I have nothing but

0:07:530:07:59

praise for the lads. It would have been nice to get a point to round

0:07:590:08:01

the 19 points of the 20, but it was the 19 points of the 20, but it was

0:08:020:08:10

not to be. The night belonged to Leicester City. You have not been

0:08:100:08:13

convinced by Sven Goran Eriksson's approach, but the team has clip at

0:08:130:08:20

the right time. I think there is a more measured look to Leicester

0:08:200:08:25

this season. There had been a scattergun approach with West --

0:08:260:08:28

Premiership players coming and going, but he has bought some

0:08:280:08:31

decent players at this level and you would think things are starting

0:08:310:08:39

to turn around for them. Four clean sheets in the last four games, give

0:08:390:08:46

you a good platform and foundation. And all of a sudden, going forward,

0:08:460:08:51

they were the real deal. Lots of players have come in and have

0:08:510:08:57

showed a good understanding of the opening goal. Yes, this was a

0:08:570:09:03

marvellous goal. One Patch. You have to have options, you have to

0:09:030:09:07

have that quality of all to play that sort of game, and the pitch

0:09:070:09:12

was fantastic. Three touches, perfectly weighted ball from

0:09:120:09:17

Fernandez, and a fantastic touch from David Nugent. It is perfectly

0:09:170:09:26

into his path, and it is a super finish. They were very positive and

0:09:260:09:35

certain things are coming together for them. The defence is looking

0:09:350:09:41

good, and Jermaine Beckford wasn't even playing, so Sven has options.

0:09:410:09:47

That is the thing. They must get to the play-offs at the very least.

0:09:470:09:53

And that is how it should be. If you spend that sort of money,

0:09:530:10:03

expectations were high. Now, after the Championship's top five all

0:10:030:10:07

dropped points in midweek, let's take a look now at how the other

0:10:070:10:09

early front-runners fared on early front-runners fared on

0:10:090:10:13

Saturday. Joint leaders Southampton went in search of that winning

0:10:130:10:18

feeling with the visit of Watford. A victory for Southampton against

0:10:180:10:23

what it would signal the club's best start to the season in more

0:10:230:10:27

than 50 years. And it was the home side to have the first clear chance

0:10:270:10:33

to take the lead midway through the first half. John Eustace got in a

0:10:330:10:37

tangle in front of Southampton's top scorer, Rickie Lambert, it was

0:10:370:10:43

a handball and a penalty and Vicky Lambert stepped up to score his 9th

0:10:430:10:50

goal in all competitions to establish a 1-0 lead. The chances

0:10:500:10:54

kept on coming. Adam Lallana almost broke the bar with this.

0:10:550:10:59

Southampton continue to dominate. 10 minutes into the second half,

0:10:590:11:04

they won another penalty, with Rickie Lambert being manhandled by

0:11:040:11:09

Adrian Mariappa. And he does that himself down to take the kick and

0:11:090:11:14

clean goal No. 10 for the season. By this time it was also at Hampden,

0:11:140:11:19

laying siege to the Watford goal, making it three two minutes before

0:11:190:11:23

time, with the Brazilian midfielder coolly knowing what he was doing

0:11:230:11:27

when he picked his spot Mac to perfection to score is doubly goal

0:11:270:11:34

of the campaign. Southampton went in search of a four. Richard

0:11:340:11:41

Chaplow going close, this time. Two minutes from time, Southampton's

0:11:410:11:51
0:11:510:11:54

persistence was rewarded, with this curling effort from Lee Holmes.

0:11:540:11:57

Southampton go into the international break as a great

0:11:570:12:03

championship leaders. -- about right. It may have seemed like a

0:12:030:12:06

scorching opening day of the season but that is October and

0:12:060:12:10

Middlesbrough have yet to taste defeat in the Championship. They

0:12:100:12:14

were soon warming the hands of Reading keeper Adam Federici who

0:12:140:12:24
0:12:240:12:34

made a brilliant double save from himself, there was a similar

0:12:340:12:44
0:12:440:12:51

outcome. Offside here. The third the Champion -- Championship play-

0:12:510:12:58

off seven years ago. West Ham appear the more likely top

0:12:580:13:02

flight candidates. The south London side took the initiative after six

0:13:020:13:12
0:13:120:13:17

their travels in the Championship. And they came up with a suitable

0:13:170:13:24

response. Nolan, who could hardly miss from there. Crystal Palace

0:13:240:13:30

came from behind to beat Brighton midweek. Marry macro scored in that

0:13:300:13:40
0:13:400:13:43

one and was at it again here immediately after the break.

0:13:430:13:47

Carew made an immediate impact of to preserve their unbeaten away

0:13:470:13:53

record. He showed a lot of character. On

0:13:530:13:57

the balance of play and the amount of domination in this game, we are

0:13:570:14:07

disappointed. Fantastic news, against West Ham. They have very

0:14:070:14:15

good experience, and the way we played was very encouraging to see.

0:14:150:14:23

A very good performance all round. For Ipswich entertained Brighton in

0:14:230:14:33
0:14:330:14:34

the first meeting between the two since April 2006. They almost took

0:14:340:14:40

the lead here, Anwar Al Awlaki somehow diverted this effort from

0:14:400:14:47

Michael Chopra. Brighton hoped things would get going again after

0:14:470:14:50

the first half when they took the lead. Michael Chopra lost

0:14:500:15:00
0:15:000:15:07

possession. Vicente ran on to open six minutes later they were level.

0:15:070:15:11

Michael Chopra redeeming himself for his earlier mistake with a

0:15:110:15:15

spectacular first goal on home soil since his move from Cardiff at

0:15:150:15:25
0:15:250:15:26

summer. Ipswich surge forward in search of another and got it. Sonko

0:15:260:15:32

choosing the perfect time to head his first for the club. Three

0:15:320:15:35

minutes they do, Ipswich put the game to bed, the Brighton defence

0:15:350:15:40

allowing Michael Chopra far too much time to take aim and shoot.

0:15:400:15:45

Five games without a win in all competitions now for Gus Poyet,

0:15:450:15:55
0:15:550:16:02

just 24 hours after signing a new Southampton suggested the Welsh

0:16:020:16:07

team are finding their feet under their new manager. They had to make

0:16:070:16:14

an early change when Miller was replaced after only nine minutes.

0:16:140:16:18

Cardiff nearly had another problem when their keeper Marshall was

0:16:180:16:26

tested soon after by Brady. Hull are unbeaten in five themselves.

0:16:260:16:32

The hosts made the breakthrough just after half-time. This neat

0:16:320:16:42
0:16:420:16:48

going further ahead. Stopping this long-range effort. It has been a

0:16:480:16:52

week for Joe Ralls who signed his first professional contract just

0:16:520:16:56

hours before coming on for his first professional debut. They

0:16:570:17:06

don't come much finer than that. The referee awarded a penalty for a

0:17:060:17:13

challenge by Hobbs on Filip Kiss. But the assistant then flagged to

0:17:130:17:16

reveal Filip Kiss had been offside in the build-up and the decision

0:17:160:17:24

was reversed. How Cardiff came to regret their decision. Barmby

0:17:240:17:29

showed he hasn't lost his scoring touch. That lifts them above

0:17:290:17:39
0:17:390:17:42

If the Lines man feels there was an offside but did not raise his flag,

0:17:420:17:46

and another phase of play for another 20 seconds, where the

0:17:460:17:51

referee gives a penalty. Remarkably the lines and decided he has got it

0:17:510:17:55

wrong and changes his decision. I find it incredible. He has

0:17:550:18:03

apologised. He says he is sorry. It doesn't make it any better. Let us

0:18:030:18:06

clear this up. The manager understandably annoyed. The

0:18:060:18:16
0:18:160:18:19

officials have made a mess of this assumption is the Lines man here

0:18:190:18:27

has not flagged. Hobbs things he is offside. The referee gives the

0:18:270:18:33

penalty. A bit everyone is looking across. What I do not understand

0:18:330:18:37

his he must have put it up at some stage, the Line's man. All the

0:18:370:18:44

players are saying, consult the linesman. Why has the referee given

0:18:440:18:50

a penalty? That confuses the whole issue. He must have put it out.

0:18:500:18:56

it up later. To be fair, they made the right decision but they went a

0:18:570:19:06
0:19:070:19:07

They can look back at a terrific start to the season. Their 25th

0:19:070:19:12

goal from 10 games. Seven goals clear of the next challenges, a

0:19:120:19:19

terrific start. A band at home, they are incredible. Five games.

0:19:190:19:26

Very good. I have seen them in the flesh a couple of times this year.

0:19:260:19:30

They are the real deal, the momentum from last year, they have

0:19:300:19:36

carried on. They have good players. Signed one or two over some of

0:19:360:19:41

which have made a real difference. You would be a fall to write them

0:19:410:19:46

off. Great comeback from Ipswich. They have had some good results.

0:19:460:19:52

Beaten West Ham, now Brighton. Paul jaw has stumbled across a winning

0:19:520:20:02
0:20:020:20:06

formula.. -- Paul Jewell. I went to the west Ham game. Ipswich played

0:20:060:20:16
0:20:160:20:21

He has settled on this side now and they're getting results and all of

0:20:210:20:31
0:20:310:20:33

a sudden, it is the King up. On to Elland Road. Leeds had a 3

0:20:330:20:40

Havant 3 draw against Brighton. Portsmouth have history on their

0:20:400:20:50
0:20:500:20:52

side, their last defeat to Leeds 21 opening-day fixture of rather than

0:20:520:20:59

one in October. Given these clubs's lukewarm start to their campaigns,

0:20:590:21:02

they would like to take the opportunity to start their season

0:21:020:21:08

again if they could. McCormack, nine goals in 11

0:21:080:21:18
0:21:180:21:19

appearances. Becchio is on the bench. Connolly macro comes in for

0:21:190:21:29

his second league appearance at the expense of Bromby.

0:21:290:21:33

The only change is in goal where Henderson makes his first league

0:21:330:21:37

appearance for the club, the 23- year-old comes from a family of

0:21:370:21:47
0:21:470:22:08

back. McCormack, fearing he might have scored his 10th goal of the

0:22:080:22:14

season, he looks to the sunny skies in disbelief. McCormack, denied by

0:22:140:22:24
0:22:240:22:42

penalty area and headed into the back by Pugh. Joining the club on

0:22:420:22:48

loan from Stoke. Peer macro scores his first goal for Leeds United.

0:22:480:22:55

There will be questions asked as this looping corner came in. 1

0:22:550:22:59

Portsmouth player had his head in his hands as Pugh roamed into the

0:22:590:23:05

six-yard area and powered his header past Henderson, no more than

0:23:050:23:10

Leeds deserved for the pressure they have applied. Virtually on his

0:23:100:23:20
0:23:200:23:29

knees as he headed it in past Stephen Ward. Dealt with well by

0:23:290:23:39
0:23:390:23:59

heading into the penalty area. He tries the shot against -- at across

0:23:590:24:07

Henderson and just wide of the far post. Again, Snodgrass with plenty

0:24:070:24:15

of space to exploit. Not be impressed, not being challenged.

0:24:150:24:25
0:24:250:24:34

And almost making Portsmouth paid. down the right. Snodgrass coming

0:24:340:24:38

forward, Pugh looking for a second goal. He drives the ball in which

0:24:380:24:48
0:24:480:24:49

his deflected from a defender. Denying Pugh a second goal. Leeds

0:24:490:24:59
0:24:590:25:25

are not afraid to move playing from free kick. A chance, Lonergan makes

0:25:250:25:31

a save with his outstretched right hand. This time, it strikes the

0:25:310:25:37

crossbar and cleared by Leeds United. Certainly the most dangers

0:25:370:25:42

Portsmouth have looked. Headed towards him, he was not marked.

0:25:420:25:49

Lonergan did well to save. The second attempt. This time, denied

0:25:490:25:59
0:25:590:26:12

Into the area. And again, Portsmouth have to clear their

0:26:120:26:20

lines. Portsmouth were not ready for that free kick, taken quickly,

0:26:200:26:30
0:26:300:26:58

Snodgrass through a gap, around the Nigerian. A decent ball in. Out

0:26:580:27:05

came Lonergan. A goal-kick, it was a midfielder who got the last touch.

0:27:050:27:10

A good start to the second half by Portsmouth who were furry

0:27:100:27:20
0:27:200:27:26

all people to be in that position on the field. What a strike at goal,

0:27:260:27:36
0:27:360:27:43

defensive role. Tal Ben Haim has been sacrificed the Portsmouth

0:27:430:27:53
0:27:530:28:02

from Mikael Forssell. A very flight of fit step over, creating space,

0:28:020:28:09

forcing the save out of Stephen Henderson. He might be 38 years of

0:28:090:28:16

age but that was good, quick feet by Mikael Forssell. That was the

0:28:160:28:23

Mikael Forssell who played for Chelsea and Birmingham, remember.

0:28:230:28:33
0:28:330:28:38

Portsmouth, killing. -- trailing. Just tipped over the crossbar from

0:28:380:28:45

Lonergan. The flight of the ball carried towards the far post, and a

0:28:460:28:49

very worried-looking and the Lonergan was forced to tip the ball

0:28:490:28:55

over his own crossbar. How does it feel to score in a game where Leeds

0:28:550:29:01

kept a clean sheet? That's was more important, the clean sheet, it was

0:29:010:29:08

a good day, really. In the first half they looked the fresher team,

0:29:080:29:13

and we look like it was her third game in eight days. We managed to

0:29:130:29:18

get in at half-time, and get them going, and we got going enough in

0:29:180:29:24

the second half, I thought, to have got something out of the game.

0:29:240:29:27

championship is relentless and Portsmouth a very good side. They

0:29:270:29:31

came out for the second half with the bit between their teeth, a side

0:29:310:29:36

packed full of good players. It was a welcome three points. Simon

0:29:360:29:41

Grayson will be just as happy with that first clean sheet in 12 games

0:29:410:29:51
0:29:510:29:52

in all competitions. It is long Yes, they have kept a clean sheet,

0:29:520:29:58

had to dig in in the second half. All of a sudden, things are

0:29:580:30:02

starting to come round and there are some positive vibes coming out

0:30:020:30:08

of their now. From Danny Pugh, that was a good finish. He is, Greg

0:30:080:30:13

Halford will wonder what he is doing there. He has got his head in

0:30:130:30:21

his hands, he is rather static, but it is a good finish, and you have a

0:30:210:30:25

six foot tall midfielder, he is going to be in and around that sort

0:30:250:30:31

of situation. Recovered just takes his eye off the player, and that is

0:30:310:30:36

all it takes. Portsmouth, with nine points from the first 10 games.

0:30:360:30:43

What is missing from them? They went to one up front, and change

0:30:430:30:46

that in the second half to something more positive. They were

0:30:460:30:51

far better than the second half. They have got some good players.

0:30:510:30:55

Some good players at the club. There is a decent level of

0:30:550:31:00

expenditure going out now. There first 11 compares with the best.

0:31:000:31:04

They it was always a lack of numbers. That is not the case any

0:31:040:31:10

more. They have got to start getting results, because this is

0:31:100:31:13

not a position they would expect to be in, with that level of

0:31:130:31:20

expenditure. Wes Brown up the rest of the Championship, starting with

0:31:200:31:25

Peterborough. Pour space Doncaster, aiming to continue their revival

0:31:250:31:32

under new boss, Dean Saunders.- Porsche faced Doncaster. A win and

0:31:320:31:36

the draw and there seems to be a recovery for Doncaster since Dean

0:31:360:31:40

Saunders took over. The Porsche manager, Darren Ferguson kept faith

0:31:400:31:45

with the same side to smash the draw at Pompey during the week and

0:31:450:31:55
0:31:550:31:58

McCann had a goal from a free kick. But Peterborough's defensive

0:31:580:32:03

records suggested Doncaster could find some way back into again with

0:32:030:32:06

the hosts yet to keep a clean sheet, and the strike, from Brian Stock,

0:32:070:32:12

make sure that run continued. Rovers have not even won a point on

0:32:130:32:16

their travels but had been energised by the goal those up Jon

0:32:160:32:21

Parkin was a whisker away from giving the visitors the lead.

0:32:210:32:27

Having ended a 19 match run without a win in the Championship,

0:32:270:32:30

confidence is creeping back into this Doncaster team. Kyle Bennett

0:32:310:32:34

took advantage of some generous Peterborough defending to score his

0:32:340:32:39

first League goal for the club. The visitors had to ride the luck,

0:32:390:32:44

searching for that first elusive away victory, and are quickly taken

0:32:440:32:49

free kick gave Tommy Rowe a chance to equalise, but he struck the post.

0:32:490:32:53

Paul Taylor managed to fashion himself a shooting opportunity but

0:32:530:32:58

also struck the post. It is now two wins and a draw, under Dean

0:32:580:33:05

Saunders of the Rovers. We were trying to play football, the full

0:33:050:33:09

length of the pitch and kick up the other end, we tried to drop off a

0:33:090:33:13

little bit, tried to contain them, try to catch them on the break and

0:33:130:33:20

we managed to do it. Blackpool had to do without the touchline

0:33:200:33:24

presence of manager Ian Holloway for their game with Bristol City.

0:33:240:33:27

Ian Holloway was confined to the stands after a midweek dispute with

0:33:270:33:35

an official. Jonjo Shelvey's long- range shot proved too hot to handle

0:33:350:33:38

and Gary Taylor-Fletcher was on hand to capitalise with his 4th

0:33:380:33:41

League goal of the season pulls of the visitors looked for the first

0:33:410:33:45

victory in eight matches and thought they had equalised, but

0:33:450:33:51

Albert Adomah's neat finish was ruled offside. The second half saw

0:33:510:33:57

the Posts t control. Jonjo Shelvey joined on loan from Liverpool on

0:33:570:34:03

Friday - how is that for a debut goal? The hosts made it 3-0, seven

0:34:030:34:07

minutes from time. Daniel Bogdanovic was allowed so much

0:34:070:34:12

space before tucking in his first goal of the season. Blackpool were

0:34:120:34:17

not finished. They continued to turn the screw as the visitors will

0:34:170:34:25

did. Craig Cathcart teed up Brett Ormerod for No. 4. Still, that was

0:34:250:34:29

not the end of the goals. There was time to add to the misery for

0:34:290:34:34

Bristol City. Thomas Innes opened up the defence with this run,

0:34:340:34:41

before setting up Daniel Bogdanovic to sweep in his second, and

0:34:410:34:45

Blackpool's per. Bristol City are now bottom of the Championship

0:34:450:34:53

table. -- Blackpool's better. said that to the players, I needed

0:34:530:34:57

them to do it as well because I cannot go on the pitch. All I can

0:34:570:35:01

do is try to give them direction in what we're going to try and achieve

0:35:010:35:05

and I will continue to do that. is about trying to get the blend

0:35:050:35:09

right. We have lost a lot of good players. But that is probably the

0:35:090:35:14

best we have been a season and we deserved it after the last two

0:35:140:35:21

games, getting one. Out of a possible six. Burnley's 51 win

0:35:210:35:24

against Nottingham Forest was their first home League victory of the

0:35:240:35:30

campaign. Eddie how's team hoped for more at Millwall postop Jay

0:35:300:35:34

Rodriguez scored his first goal of the season against Nottingham

0:35:340:35:39

Forest and was on target again. A run of seven games without a win

0:35:390:35:44

and just three goals has seen Millwall into the relegation zone.

0:35:440:35:47

Burnley, with back-to-back League victories for the first time this

0:35:470:35:53

season, held on, for a hard-fought victory. I knew that that was going

0:35:530:35:56

to be a difficult place to come. The crowd make it difficult for us

0:35:560:36:04

in the second half but we coped well. A first glance there seemed

0:36:040:36:11

to be only one likely outcome, a draw. Coventry have not done much

0:36:110:36:17

better, drawing four of their last six. Boasts got a crucial break a

0:36:170:36:21

minute before half-time when they won a penalty. Chris Hussey was

0:36:210:36:25

judged to have handled when he fell to the ground. The referee was

0:36:250:36:32

condensed. Andy Gray stepped up to send his kick past Joe Murphy, for

0:36:320:36:37

his 100 goal in professional football. Coventry have made their

0:36:370:36:42

way start to the season in 15 years. The prospects for recovery looked

0:36:420:36:48

even slimmer after the restart. And the gay conductor James O'Brien's

0:36:480:36:52

pinpoint cross. Andy Thorn was like a team had chances to get back into

0:36:520:36:57

the game but Luke Steele was equal to anything they could throw at him

0:36:570:37:02

in the Barnsley goal. Coventry without a victory on the road this

0:37:020:37:11

What a turnaround in fortunes for Doncaster Rovers. Dean Saunders

0:37:110:37:18

comes in and suddenly they are winning games. Is it just about the

0:37:180:37:23

style of play? What he has done is brought a little more balance to

0:37:230:37:29

their side. The emphasis is not on knocking the ball out, and playing

0:37:290:37:39
0:37:390:37:41

from the back. As for Blackpool, Jonjo Shelvey Olembe I don't Friday

0:37:410:37:44

and was instrumental in the biggest home victory in 10 years. We need

0:37:450:37:49

to see more than this because he has come with a huge reputation

0:37:490:37:53

that he might have lost during his time at Liverpool. The is always

0:37:530:37:57

the danger when you climb up to the Premier League that you can get

0:37:570:38:02

lost to stop what you need to do is go out on loan, establish yourself,

0:38:020:38:06

and go back to Liverpool with a stronger hand than he went there

0:38:060:38:10

with the first time. He is looking 2: that talent and get some

0:38:110:38:14

experience and games under his belt. Every player should do this, no

0:38:140:38:20

doubt about that, and he is going to come back a better player.

0:38:200:38:23

Millen was under pressure going into the game against Blackpool.

0:38:230:38:29

Where does this leave him tonight? Do chairman of Bristol City said

0:38:290:38:33

that the way this game panned out would tell them a lot about the

0:38:330:38:40

future of the club. And they probably could not have had the

0:38:400:38:42

worst performance under Keith Millen than this. The body language

0:38:420:38:50

spoke volumes for the way that the players applied themselves. And the

0:38:500:38:52

manager deserves a better performance than that. These are

0:38:520:39:00

difficult times. Right, to League One now and to one of the surprise

0:39:000:39:03

packages of the season. Six years ago, Hartlepool came agonisingly

0:39:030:39:06

close to reaching the Championship for the first time in their history,

0:39:060:39:09

eventually losing to Saturday's opponents Sheffield Wednesday in

0:39:090:39:12

the play-off final. After an unbeaten start to the new campaign,

0:39:120:39:16

Hartlepool are at it again - so Clem's been along to spend the day

0:39:160:39:22

with a man still loving his football up in the north east. It

0:39:220:39:26

is League 1's most recognisable name who has been grabbing

0:39:260:39:30

headlines at Victoria Park, a trumpet playing Peruvian

0:39:300:39:34

international whose wedding was screened live on national

0:39:340:39:39

television, whose face even appears on a postage stamp in Peru. But he

0:39:390:39:47

is very much at home, back in his adopted north-east. How are you?

0:39:470:39:56

Are you alright? Good to see you! This is the bit I liked. How are

0:39:560:40:01

you coping with having to wash you want it? It reminds me of 15 years

0:40:010:40:06

ago when I was a kid, playing in Peru. For me football is the

0:40:060:40:12

passion of my life. My mum said to me since I was four years old, all

0:40:120:40:16

the time in the street, kicking the ball, so it is difficult when you

0:40:160:40:23

try to say, I don't want to play any more, it is difficult. A you

0:40:230:40:27

realise this trumpet is never going to lead you. Every interview you do

0:40:270:40:37
0:40:370:40:39

somebody is going to ask you about I love the music, like everybody

0:40:390:40:48

else, I think, for me, doing music, I will not compare it with my

0:40:480:40:56

football as a passion, but it is very close. We know the qualities

0:40:560:41:00

that Nobby Solano can bring to a football club. He is a top

0:41:000:41:04

international. He showed what he can do for us, especially last

0:41:040:41:09

Saturday. You get a free kick on the edge of the box and he puts it

0:41:090:41:16

in the top corner. That is what he has done to it his career. In to

0:41:160:41:21

bowl you never lose the technique of the ability. You lose pace

0:41:210:41:25

because you're getting older, but apart from that, inside, I feel

0:41:250:41:31

like a young boy, I tried to do my best, helping the team when I get

0:41:310:41:37

the chance, when I have the ball. One South American has been in the

0:41:370:41:40

news. I cannot imagine that cures would cause anything like the same

0:41:400:41:46

trouble. I do Dixon. He is a pleasure to work with. He is no

0:41:460:41:54

problem. -- I don't think so. He brings a lot of jollity to the

0:41:540:42:04
0:42:040:42:11

training room and to the dressing You wash your own kit but you still

0:42:110:42:21
0:42:210:42:29

have got to carry your own toilet Wednesday last season that were no

0:42:290:42:33

laughing matter, two defeats with seven goals conceded, five Boruc

0:42:330:42:40

their own patch. Hartlepool were undone by a more accurate header at

0:42:400:42:46

the other end. This mighty throw met by Johnson after the half-hour,

0:42:460:42:51

leaving home side's unbeaten start to the season in jeopardy.

0:42:510:42:53

Hartlepool were not going to surrender that record without a

0:42:530:43:00

fight. It took the post to keep the scores level on this occasion.

0:43:000:43:06

Sheffield Wednesday were able to stretch their winning when to three

0:43:060:43:12

matches. Hartlepool all at sea, but Johnson defeated by the angle,

0:43:120:43:22
0:43:220:43:27

meaning that it stayed at the you like to win every week, added

0:43:270:43:32

to juror ambition to get into the play-offs, it is disappointing. --

0:43:320:43:37

and it is your ambition. We will come back to training on Monday.

0:43:370:43:43

much as you would love to, you will not win every game. For sure! It

0:43:430:43:47

had to come to an end. We knew it was a tough game and that it would

0:43:470:43:52

be tight. I am not surprised that just one goal separated the teams

0:43:520:43:56

because there was nothing between them. Our second half performance

0:43:560:43:59

was better than our first and I thought we did well in the second

0:43:590:44:06

half. I thought we had most of the possession, set play, attempts at

0:44:060:44:15

goal. I feel like her should be hugging you! I am all right!

0:44:150:44:21

thanks to Nobby Solano. Clem should come with a health warning. He has

0:44:210:44:29

done it again! Nonetheless, defeat after 10 games now, they can look

0:44:290:44:33

back at a dream start to the new season. That cannot be overshadowed.

0:44:330:44:37

Nothing will take the gloss off what he has achieved so far and it

0:44:370:44:42

has been fantastic. Ever since the manager has taken over, it has been

0:44:420:44:46

marvellous. All things considered, when you look at the relative

0:44:460:44:50

budgets and what he has available to him, he is up there with the

0:44:500:44:54

best in that division. For certainly is. As for the rest of

0:44:540:44:57

League One, there was a meeting of two of the division's heavyweights

0:44:570:45:00

at Bramall Lane, with third-placed Sheffield United up against the

0:45:000:45:03

leaders Charlton, in a game that graced the Premier League only six

0:45:030:45:13

gain some ground on the League One pace setters. But neither Neill

0:45:130:45:16

Collins or Chris Porter could find a way past Ben Hamer in a tight

0:45:160:45:19

first half. But two goals in, as many second half minutes swung the

0:45:190:45:22

result in Charlton's favour.Yann Kermogant stepped off the bench and

0:45:220:45:25

scored with his first touch to put the leaders in front. Soon after

0:45:250:45:29

Chris Powell's men sealed the win that extends their lead at the top

0:45:290:45:32

to five points. Collins guilty of taking his eye off the ball to

0:45:320:45:35

leaver Bradley Wright Phillips in the clear. A mistake that proved

0:45:350:45:39

fatal as the Londoners top scorer put away his 7th goal in 8 games to

0:45:390:45:43

put Charlton in charge. Ched Evans hit the woodwork late on but it

0:45:430:45:46

would have made little difference and even at this early stage this

0:45:460:45:49

could prove to be a significant result in the League One promotion

0:45:490:45:59
0:45:590:46:04

confidence boosting 2-2 draw at Huddersfield in their last match

0:46:040:46:07

but any optimism gained was lost just 2 minutes into this game with

0:46:070:46:10

Preston as Paul Coutts lashed home Jamie Proctor's cross. Despite

0:46:100:46:13

being rooted to the bottom of the table and without a win all season

0:46:130:46:16

Orient weren't deterred and found an equaliser 9 minutes before the

0:46:160:46:19

break. Phil Brown no doubt wondering how the smallest man on

0:46:190:46:23

the pitch was allowed to head home. 5 foot 4 inches Dean Cox getting on

0:46:230:46:26

the end of Kevin Lisbie's deflected cross. 10 minutes later, Cox proved

0:46:260:46:30

that he was equally as dangerous with his feet. After receiving the

0:46:300:46:33

ball from Stephen Dawson he set about ensuring the O's had a half

0:46:330:46:36

time lead. His long range effort too good for Andreas Aristidou

0:46:360:46:39

Having not won all season home fans would have been forgiven for being

0:46:390:46:42

nervous and their hearts would have been pounding just 2 minutes into

0:46:420:46:45

the second half. Scott Cuthbert climbed all over Brian McLean and

0:46:450:46:48

the referee pointed to the spot. But unlike 7 days ago against

0:46:480:46:54

Tranmere, Graeme Alexander couldn't find the net from 12 yards. Lee

0:46:540:46:56

Butcher pulling off a fine save. They're still bottom but Russell

0:46:560:47:06
0:47:060:47:07

tipping MK Dons to win League One. And this match did nothing to

0:47:070:47:10

change his mind. County in trouble from the second minute as Julian

0:47:100:47:15

Kelly needed to make a superb save. Just a shame he's not a goalkeeper.

0:47:150:47:18

Quite what the County players could find to complain about was hard to

0:47:180:47:21

fathom. Kelly was sent off, giving Shaun Williams the responsibility

0:47:210:47:25

of increasing the punishment. Stuart Nelson proved equally adept

0:47:250:47:30

with his hands but it was a short- lived reprieve. In the 11th minute,

0:47:300:47:33

Clinton Morrison released Angelo Balanta and his finish was

0:47:330:47:41

magnificent. But even with ten men County managed to make a game of it.

0:47:410:47:44

They weren't unlocked again until eight minutes from the end, as Dean

0:47:440:47:50

Bowditch crossed for Morrison. Now the Dons could be sure of three

0:47:500:47:53

points which would lift them into the top two. And they topped off

0:47:530:47:56

the win with an eye-catching third just a minute later. Daniel

0:47:560:47:59

Powell's determination crowning a good day for Karl Robinson's side,

0:47:590:48:09
0:48:090:48:16

season saw Brentford crushed. Huddersfield had already hit the

0:48:160:48:19

woodwork twice before Jordan Rhodes notched his 50th goal for the club

0:48:190:48:23

to open the scoring. That ensured the Yorkshire side would go to the

0:48:230:48:27

break on top and after it they went in search for more. Rhodes going

0:48:270:48:30

close to doubling his tally. And that's when Brentford's luck

0:48:300:48:34

finally ran out. Three goals in an eight-minute spell finished them

0:48:340:48:37

off. Tommy Miller's perfectly weighted pass picking out Lee Novak

0:48:370:48:43

whose finish oozed quality. Post match Lee Clark summed up the

0:48:430:48:46

display as outstanding and his team were well on their way to

0:48:460:48:48

stretching the Football League's longest ever unbeaten run when

0:48:490:48:55

Novak crossed for Rhodes to make it 3-0. The striker previously enjoyed

0:48:550:48:59

a loan spell with the Bees but was intent on trying to grab a hat-

0:48:590:49:02

trick on his return to the capital. After a driving run, the post

0:49:020:49:05

denied him the match-ball but Gary Roberts made sure his hard work

0:49:050:49:08

didn't go to waste by completing the rout to propel Clark's men to

0:49:080:49:18
0:49:180:49:22

league matches Dean Smith's Walsall came into this game desperate to

0:49:220:49:26

kick start their season. And they took the lead in the 33rd minute,

0:49:260:49:30

Will Grigg heading home his third goal of the season. Smith admitted

0:49:300:49:33

the visitors had the better of the second half and they could have

0:49:330:49:35

equalised almost immediately after the restart, but Jimmy Walker was

0:49:360:49:39

equal to Liam Noble's close range effort. While Walker was able to

0:49:390:49:43

save that shot from 6 yards, he had no answer to Matty Robson's free

0:49:430:49:46

kick a few moments later. Nobody really expected him to shoot but

0:49:460:49:50

shoot he did. And the result was a truly wonderful equaliser. While

0:49:500:49:53

that was spectacular for the right reasons, what followed in the final

0:49:530:49:56

10 minutes was spectacular for the wrong reasons. Substitute Francois

0:49:560:49:59

Zoko should have won the game for the visitors but somehow sent his

0:49:590:50:09
0:50:090:50:11

shot wide. No wins in 6 now for Bournemouth at mid-table Tranmere,

0:50:110:50:14

who almost enjoyed a huge stroke of luck when Jose Baxter's cross

0:50:140:50:20

flicked off Stephane Zubar. The crossbar sparing the Cherries who

0:50:200:50:24

appeared to have a good case for a penalty as Adam Barrett went down

0:50:240:50:27

in the box. Marc Pugh didn't make the most of the loose ball. Both

0:50:270:50:30

managers agreed the draw was a fair result. Wes Thomas was probably

0:50:300:50:33

kicking himself all the way home, having squandered another golden

0:50:330:50:43
0:50:430:50:45

September but the manner of their opening goal against Oldham

0:50:450:50:48

suggests confidence is still high. Daniel Nardiello finishing off a

0:50:490:50:54

wonderful move worthy of gracing any ground in the land. That

0:50:540:50:57

brought their overall tally for the season to just five goals but just

0:50:570:51:00

four minutes into the second half they secured the win that keeps

0:51:000:51:04

them in touch with their fellow strugglers. Guillem Bauza smashing

0:51:040:51:14
0:51:140:51:14

home to end Oldham's hopes of a third away win on the spin.

0:51:140:51:17

Scunthorpe secured their first win of the season last time out and the

0:51:170:51:21

confidence was clear for all to see when Eddie Nolan, the rarest of

0:51:210:51:24

goal-scorers tried his luck from 20 yards. Only the 23 year-old's

0:51:240:51:28

second career goal. The game was end to end in the second half as

0:51:280:51:31

Stevenage went in search of an equaliser but the Iron stood firm

0:51:310:51:35

and put the result beyond doubt 2 minutes in to injury time. A

0:51:350:51:38

mistake at the back allowed Michael O'Conner to fire home for an

0:51:380:51:43

unlikely angle. Stevenage were heading for 3 consecutive league

0:51:430:51:46

defeats for the first time since being promoted to the football

0:51:460:51:56
0:51:560:51:56

league. They did pull one back 60 comebacks was almost complete in

0:51:560:52:01

the sixth minute of stoppage time. Chris Beardsly got his shot in,

0:52:010:52:04

only to be denied on the line by Michael Nelson. Plenty of late

0:52:040:52:14
0:52:140:52:15

drama. But back to back wins for joy on the road but they couldn't

0:52:150:52:19

complain about their luck away at Chesterfield. The ball falling

0:52:190:52:22

kindly for Michail Antonio on the half hour which set the tone for

0:52:220:52:27

United's afternoon. The home side had plenty of chances to take a

0:52:270:52:30

share of the points. Alex Mendy cutting in from the wing to create

0:52:300:52:33

one of the best in the second half. Ben Williams was down sharply to

0:52:330:52:37

turn the shot wide. And, when the keeper was eventually beaten, more

0:52:370:52:40

proof it really wasn't the Spireites' day. Leon Clarke

0:52:400:52:45

thwarted by the post. Colchester collecting only their third away

0:52:450:52:54

win since the turn of the year. Yeovil were hoping to avoid a third

0:52:540:52:57

straight defeat against a Bury side who are finding life equally as

0:52:570:53:07
0:53:070:53:15

tough. And the early signs were promising as Kieran Agard forced a

0:53:150:53:18

fine save from Trevor Carson. But Agard did not have long to make the

0:53:180:53:21

breakthrough with an overhead kick doing the trick. The third goal in

0:53:210:53:24

three games for the striker signed from Premier League Everton in the

0:53:240:53:27

summer. The signs didn't look good for Richie Barker's men who have

0:53:270:53:29

struggled for goals since Ryan Lowe's departure to Sheffield

0:53:290:53:32

Wednesday but the man who came in the opposite direction from

0:53:320:53:35

Hillsborough had them level by half-time. Giles Coke driving his

0:53:350:53:45
0:53:450:53:51

way through to register his first for the club. Five minutes from the

0:53:510:53:55

end David Worrall set off on a sensational run and put the ball in

0:53:550:53:57

the perfect spot for Peter Sweeney. The former Yeovil loanee helping

0:53:570:54:00

his current club climb out of trouble and whilst dropping his old

0:54:000:54:03

one into the relegation zone for the first time this season.

0:54:030:54:06

Rochdale started this match in the last relegation spot, with Wycombe

0:54:060:54:09

just one place better off. And despite the home side creating a

0:54:090:54:12

good couple of early chances, it was the visitors who struck first.

0:54:120:54:14

Scott Donnelly showing good composure just 6 minutes in. After

0:54:140:54:17

the match Gary Waddock said his side's defending was not acceptable.

0:54:170:54:21

And the hosts had been knocking at the door when they found a way

0:54:210:54:23

through on 21 minutes. Ashley Grimes with plenty of time and

0:54:230:54:26

space to hammer home the equaliser. Rochdale have never beaten Wycombe

0:54:260:54:29

at Spotland but came close to taking the lead in the second half.

0:54:290:54:32

Some suspect defending allowed Grimes the chance to almost became

0:54:320:54:35

provider he fed through David Ball who was denied by Nikki Bull. When

0:54:350:54:38

the winning goal did eventually come, it was all too easy. From

0:54:380:54:41

Jake Kean's goal kick only one touch was needed. A brace from

0:54:410:54:48

Grimes securing Dale only their second home win of the season. A

0:54:480:54:54

good day for the bottom four sides. But first, Charlton, unbeaten in 11

0:54:550:55:02

games. But beating one of the title rivals is a huge psychological blow.

0:55:020:55:06

Absolutely, fantastic result. Maguire will like to see this one

0:55:060:55:11

again. And he gets some luck to keep the game going. They have been

0:55:110:55:15

very good. Nice touch from Chris Powell. He told us it was

0:55:150:55:19

spontaneous, not planned, telling the players what a great

0:55:190:55:23

performance it was from them. he is saying is quite aggressive

0:55:230:55:27

but he is not picking people up. It looks like a rollicking but he is

0:55:270:55:32

bracing them. He is telling them to stay tight and thanks for their

0:55:320:55:35

efforts, an amazing achievement so far. They have not achieved

0:55:350:55:40

anything so far but they are going along nicely. That game with

0:55:400:55:44

Sheffield United defied the form book, and so did later Nuria when

0:55:440:55:54

they defeated Preston. -- latent Leyton Orient. Coming back after

0:55:540:56:00

being two goals behind is quite something. Even though the tables

0:56:000:56:04

do not look so good, Leyton Orient have been showing that their

0:56:040:56:07

performances are there. It is just getting the performances and the

0:56:070:56:12

results along with it. That was a really good performance today. Dean

0:56:120:56:22

Cox is a real match-winner. Troubles since Ryan Lowe was sold.

0:56:220:56:27

This won't had eluded them for some time. He was a big player for them

0:56:270:56:32

and they did not win a game since he left. Giles Coakley, super goal.

0:56:320:56:38

Another player with undoubted talent and ability. Supposedly a

0:56:380:56:44

really big flu jab Sheffield Wednesday. It has not come off yet.

0:56:440:56:50

-- big future at Sheffield Wednesday. We will have a player on

0:56:500:56:54

our hands soon. Exeter lost some Bible players over the summer and

0:56:540:57:03

wins have been hard to come by, and goals. -- valuable players. It is

0:57:030:57:10

hard if you have not scored to win! That does not take a mathematician.

0:57:100:57:16

But they did better. It was a much- needed win. They have done

0:57:160:57:24

fantastically. I will not say they would do a bad year but we can

0:57:240:57:28

forgive them a couple of bad results because they have done

0:57:280:57:32

enough to warrant some latitude. But they will pick up again.

0:57:320:57:42

Huddersfield, unbeaten in 36. games, 13 draws, and lot of people

0:57:420:57:45

were thinking this would be a difficult game but it was an

0:57:450:57:50

excellent performance and the great performance means a real marker for

0:57:500:57:55

the future. Onto League Two now and for once we start with one of the

0:57:550:57:57

games that took place on Friday night.

0:57:570:57:59

Southend and Shrewsbury met at Roots Hall knowing that whoever

0:57:590:58:02

took all three points would leapfrog Morecambe to the top of

0:58:020:58:05

the table. Southend made all the running at Roots Hall in their

0:58:050:58:10

quest for a fourth straight win. Shrewsbury keeper Ben Smith soon at

0:58:100:58:13

full stretch to keep out Ryan Leonard's deflected effort and Liam

0:58:130:58:23
0:58:230:58:27

had the lead. Jermaine Grandison nudged Neil Harris away from the

0:58:270:58:30

dropping ball, presenting Dickinson with another chance to open the

0:58:300:58:39

scoring. The lanky striker's fifth goal of the season and fourth from

0:58:390:58:42

the spot rewarded Southend's first half dominance. It was a long time

0:58:430:58:48

though before they could be sure of hitting the top of the table. Smith

0:58:480:58:51

punching the ball against Mark Phillips as the match moved into

0:58:510:58:55

stoppage time, and Shrewsbury's fate was sealed. Sub Ryan Hall

0:58:550:58:59

supplied the free-kick which caused that chaos.. His short spell on the

0:58:590:59:09
0:59:090:59:10

pitch extremely productive. Hall also won the penalty which gave the

0:59:100:59:13

scoreline an even more convincing look. Converted this time by Neil

0:59:130:59:16

Harris, to leave boss Paul Sturrock happy though wishing the victory

0:59:160:59:19

had been made safe a lot sooner. Body played well going into the

0:59:190:59:22

second half. You have got to give credit to Shrewsbury for coming out

0:59:220:59:32
0:59:320:59:37

and making a game of it. A chance for Morecambe top reclaim to spot.

0:59:370:59:40

Jim Bentley's side putting their unbeaten away record on the line

0:59:410:59:50
0:59:510:59:52

against a Torquay team that don't give away much on their own patch.

0:59:520:59:55

But 8 minutes from time, Morecambe rescued a draw that keeps them

0:59:550:59:58

right in contention there didn't seem too much danger when Kevin

0:59:581:00:02

Ellison picked the ball up in his own half but he clearly only had

1:00:021:00:06

one thing on his mind After a sensational run he kept his cool to

1:00:061:00:13

earn his side a deserved point. Matt Tubbs was a former team-mate

1:00:131:00:17

of which at Bournemouth. He showed nose and that for his former

1:00:171:00:22

captain and with five minutes to go, he doubled the league for Crawley.

1:00:221:00:25

But that plan of's exit from administration agreed, the visitors,

1:00:251:00:32

too, had cause to celebrate. They a -- the biggest club in League 2,

1:00:321:00:36

Plymouth Argyle. I was speaking to their board of directors and it

1:00:361:00:42

looks like their takeovers going to happen. You could see the

1:00:421:00:46

travelling support they had, and those are the big winners today. We

1:00:461:00:52

will keep plugging away, and get the club, as all, to two things the

1:00:521:00:56

right way. It is a work in progress and we are trying to lay the

1:00:561:01:06
1:01:061:01:07

foundations. Having shipped seven goals in their two previous games,

1:01:071:01:10

Rotherham's rearguard needed to be at their best against the Football

1:01:101:01:13

League's top scorers. But with 18 minutes on the clock, Millers

1:01:131:01:17

keeper Conrad Logan let a free-kick from Marc Richards slip through his

1:01:171:01:21

fingers as Port Vale went in search of their first win in three. Just

1:01:211:01:23

eight minutes after opening the scoring, Richards was all smiles

1:01:231:01:27

again, this time the Vale striker getting on the end of a flick from

1:01:271:01:30

former Miller Tom Pope to doubled the advantage. Richards back from

1:01:311:01:35

suspension in style, but the Millers on the slide. There was a

1:01:351:01:39

hint of the old days at Plough Lane about the goal that got Wimbledon

1:01:401:01:44

off to a flier against Gillingham. Christian jolly capitalising on

1:01:441:01:50

this slip. The Dons showed there is more to their game than latching

1:01:501:01:56

onto Walpole long balls. This diving header had them two up after

1:01:561:02:03

only 12 minutes. The striker was proving handful, with his

1:02:031:02:06

persistence causing panic at that back 10 minutes later. The match

1:02:061:02:14

was almost sewn up the 10 minutes into the second half bus-stop Terry

1:02:141:02:18

Brown's team were well on the way to their put successive win there

1:02:181:02:23

and just outside the promotion places. Gillingham pulled one back

1:02:231:02:27

with the goal of the game from Charlie Lee, but that sloppy start

1:02:271:02:32

cost them dear. Hereford have the worst goal difference in League 2

1:02:321:02:35

this season having scored the the stomach of goals and the Football

1:02:351:02:40

League. But they could have taken the lead at Edgar Street if it

1:02:401:02:46

wasn't for the fine reflexes of Ryan Clarke. Then Oxford's

1:02:461:02:51

defensive frailties were exposed. 17-year-old Robert Hall opened the

1:02:511:02:56

scoring. That solitary goal enough to secure Oxford their third away

1:02:561:03:03

victory in a row. Phil Parkinson's wait for the first win continues

1:03:031:03:07

but he will not get a better chance than this, what a terrific opener

1:03:071:03:11

from Kyle Reeves giving Bradford the lead. It was a dream start for

1:03:111:03:21

the Yorkshire club to double their advantage with only 15 minutes late.

1:03:211:03:25

Seven minutes before the break, Billy Kay continued to scoring

1:03:251:03:29

streak. His third in as many matches give the alongside a

1:03:291:03:33

platform to build on, and he should have been celebrating pitting his

1:03:331:03:36

side back on level terms shortly after this. Having somehow managed

1:03:361:03:42

to miss, he delivered a blow that caused panic in the travelling

1:03:421:03:49

racks. This gave it Justin Richard the chance to continue as scoring

1:03:491:03:54

one. He kept his cool from the spot, to preserve Prutton's unbeaten home

1:03:541:04:04
1:04:041:04:06

record. -- Burton's. Macclesfield bounce straight back from their

1:04:061:04:11

defeat at Planet, but not without the obscure postop Rafael a good

1:04:111:04:15

veto scuffed the shot back when a clean shot back would have given

1:04:151:04:20

Swindon the lead. Swindon fell behind in the second half thanks to

1:04:211:04:25

an excellent solo goal from George Donnelly, who refuse to be stopped.

1:04:251:04:29

Swindon's Matt Ritchie was at the centre of the match's main talking

1:04:291:04:34

point. He appeared to be told when one-on-one with the keeper, and

1:04:341:04:41

staying on his feet prove counter- productive, leading Paolo di Canio

1:04:411:04:45

to say that the future he will tell his players to dive. Another fine

1:04:451:04:51

finish from Macclesfield, with a swastika confirming Swindon's 50 a

1:04:511:05:01
1:05:011:05:05

week that beat in 6 games. -- with Country derby looking for back-to-

1:05:051:05:10

back wins for the past in the season, but fell behind when

1:05:101:05:14

Muhammad ran half the length of the field Angeles before finishing past

1:05:141:05:18

Scott Bevan. Rover straw to stamp any authority on the match and fell

1:05:191:05:25

to behind just before half-time. After the match, the pie is boss

1:05:251:05:29

Phil Buckle said his side conceded three dead-ball goals. Muhammad

1:05:291:05:33

capitalised again three minutes into the second half postop league

1:05:331:05:35

ground pulled back a consolation the 20 minutes remaining. But it

1:05:351:05:40

was not enough to stop Bristol Rovers fans during their side of

1:05:401:05:50
1:05:501:05:57

the pitch for the second game in succession. -- booing. This Cross

1:05:571:06:00

gave the lie by Germaine McGlashan, and Danielle Prince to give

1:06:001:06:04

Aldershot an early lead. The despair did not last long. Shaun

1:06:041:06:08

Hessay let fly with this free kick. The home team would go to the break

1:06:081:06:14

second best. This free kick met by Hilton at the post, to restore

1:06:141:06:19

order short's hopes of stretching their unbeaten run on the road to

1:06:191:06:23

four matches. Stanley have not tasted success is the end of August

1:06:231:06:29

but were determined to * October and a positive note. Danny Boyle

1:06:291:06:33

put out to level the scores. On balance the hosts should have

1:06:331:06:38

settled for a point. But two Minster on the end, the Spanish

1:06:381:06:42

from Charlie Barnet, measured to perfection, help them claimed all

1:06:421:06:52
1:06:521:06:58

where crew seemed set to stretch the on-site losing when there are

1:06:581:07:01

half-a-dozen games, as they broke the deadlock with five minutes --

1:07:011:07:05

15 minutes remaining. She would have thought that the Daggers would

1:07:051:07:12

have been bereft of confidence given their recent run, but Gavin

1:07:121:07:14

Tomlin surged into the box, opening the way for some Williams to level

1:07:141:07:19

the scores Just A Minute later. There was worse to come for crew,

1:07:191:07:23

who switched off five minutes into stoppage time. That for the header

1:07:231:07:27

from Richard Rose getting October of they are great start of Dagenham,

1:07:271:07:30

after going all the way through September without collecting a

1:07:301:07:40
1:07:401:07:41

described the 4-0 defeat to Swindon in the last match as not good

1:07:411:07:49

enough. Aside almost made the perfect start, and Ricky Wolves

1:07:491:07:56

struck the woodwork. Mark Marshall's pace and all in cause

1:07:561:08:00

problems, allowing Holmes to lash in from the edge of the box. That

1:08:001:08:04

was his first League goal of the season, but some elementary

1:08:041:08:09

defensive mistakes presented their opponents with an equaliser.

1:08:091:08:13

Barnett made a double substitution the 10 minutes to go, as they went

1:08:131:08:17

in search of the winner, but the visitors struck the killer Owen 88

1:08:171:08:23

minute, with Ben Tozer firing home. Three the fees in a row now, for

1:08:231:08:31

Barnett. -- three the piece. Testing times for Lawrie Sanchez,

1:08:311:08:37

at Barnet. The story of the Bikey End has to be Southend, topping the

1:08:371:08:42

table for the first time in five years. There is a lot has happened

1:08:421:08:47

years. There is a lot has happened in those five years. Almost went

1:08:471:08:52

out of business. Only had one player on registration. They have

1:08:521:08:56

won the last four games but three of them are Gillingham, Rotherham

1:08:561:09:03

and Shrewsbury. Those of good results, as you say. The second

1:09:031:09:10

goal scored by Mark Phillips, who you know quite well. He got

something of a knock from the celebration. Yes, he did, they and

1:09:171:09:24

a bit enthusiastic, aren't they? If you're going to get injured, that

1:09:241:09:31

is not the way to do it! A couple of players jumping on his back.

1:09:311:09:37

it is not serious? No, no. ESE Wimbledon into their highest league

1:09:371:09:41

position and three goals in 20 by the wrist against promotion

1:09:411:09:47

hopefuls Gillingham. That is no mean feat. It is a fantastic start,

1:09:471:09:52

3-0 up after 22 minutes. Some defending leaves a bit to be

1:09:521:09:58

desired. But take nothing away from Wimbledon. Up to 4th in the table,

1:09:591:10:05

a side that has carried on that momentum. And a jolly good job he

1:10:051:10:10

has done. Whatever hair that John Steele has got left he would have

1:10:101:10:14

been cheering them out after losing that game with two goals against

1:10:141:10:19

Crewe. No better time to score their one goal they have managed in

1:10:191:10:26

each game so far. They needed both of them. It is easy to get carried

1:10:261:10:29

away with were Dagenham & Redbridge should be because they are only

1:10:291:10:33

recently promoted. It is easy to forget how much they might have

1:10:331:10:39

achieved in a short space of time. Yes, look at this -- at the size

1:10:391:10:42

and scope of that club and they have no right to be anywhere else

1:10:421:10:49

other than where they are now. It is a fantastic achievement. Let's

1:10:491:10:59
1:10:591:11:10

There is no movement in the bottom 5 although Bradford picked up 1

1:11:101:11:14

point and Dagenham left it late to pick up their first win in 7. There

1:11:141:11:17

were also good wins for Accrington, Macclesfield and Northampton. In

1:11:171:11:20

League One, Charlton extend their lead to 5 points after beating

1:11:201:11:23

Sheffield Utd and because Preston lost at Leyton Orient. MK Dons are

1:11:231:11:26

up to second and Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield are up

1:11:261:11:30

in to the top 6. Huge relief for Leyton Orient after picking up

1:11:301:11:33

their first win of the season and Exeter their second although both

1:11:331:11:39

remain rooted to the bottom. The other two sides that started the

1:11:391:11:43

day in the bottom four were Rochdale and Bury. They both won as

1:11:431:11:46

well and are replaced by Wycombe & Yeovil. In the Championship,

1:11:461:11:50

Southampton move two points clear at the top after that impressive 4-

1:11:501:11:53

0 win over Watford. Middlesbrough, Derby, West Ham and Brighton all

1:11:531:11:57

failed to win, so Hull move in to the top 6 and replace the side they

1:11:571:12:01

beat Cardiff. Doncaster move off the bottom of the table after that

1:12:011:12:04

2-1 victory at Peterborough and move up 4 places. Bristol City

1:12:041:12:08

replace them at the foot of the table. All of the current bottom

1:12:081:12:11

three lost and also failed to score this weekend. A reminder, Forest

1:12:111:12:14

take on Birmingham at the City Ground on Sunday. If you have

1:12:141:12:16

missed any of the goals tonight, don't forget the Football League

1:12:161:12:21

Show is on the red button. And on for review, but only until quarter

1:12:211:12:31
1:12:311:12:32

to four in the morning, otherwise, it is on BBC iPlayer all week.

1:12:321:12:36

Football coverage continues over the weekend that much of that the

1:12:361:12:41

two. Highlights of the north London derby between Arsenal and Spurs.

1:12:411:12:45

We're back on Saturday at five to midnight and because it is
