0:00:22 > 0:00:32Hello. Today the Football League Show is on the road. Our focus
0:00:32 > 0:00:33
0:00:33 > 0:00:40falls on Leagues One and Two. Mr Claridge has gone to find a dark
0:00:40 > 0:00:43room someone to look at the transfer activity.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48I'm at Bramall Lane, where Sheffield United could go to the
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Top of League One with a win against Bury.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55With Charlton not playing until Monday and the MK Dons away at
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Carlisle, Sheffield United knew a win today could take them to the
0:00:58 > 0:01:01top of the pile. The bottom two clashed as
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Chesterfield welcomed Leyton Orient, the only team in the NPower Leagues
0:01:05 > 0:01:15without a point. In League Two, Paolo Di Canio has
0:01:15 > 0:01:15
0:01:15 > 0:01:19been in the news this week for all the wrong reasons,.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23So, we'll start here at Bramall Lane where Danny Wilson's team have
0:01:23 > 0:01:26won both their home games. In fact, the Blades are unbeaten in
0:01:26 > 0:01:30the League. They welcome a Bury team who have
0:01:30 > 0:01:37been stronger on the road than at home and who are unbeaten on their
0:01:37 > 0:01:42home and who are unbeaten on their travels so far.
0:01:42 > 0:01:52COMMENTATOR: Good effort and good save from Belford. Another good
0:01:52 > 0:01:54
0:01:54 > 0:01:58ball from Quinn. Now Mendez-Laing. Quinton, Sheffield United are at
0:01:58 > 0:02:04head. Chris Porter's second goal in a week. This one comes against a
0:02:04 > 0:02:14club where his career began. Bury looking to try to get back into it
0:02:14 > 0:02:18here. Jones! Not far wide from Mike Jones. Mendez-Laing has caused
0:02:18 > 0:02:25problems this afternoon. Mendez- Laing with a cross. It's gone in.
0:02:25 > 0:02:33What on earth has happened there? An absolute howler from Cameron
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Belford, gift Mendez-Laing his first for the club. Not that they
0:02:38 > 0:02:48are complaining. Sheffield United have been dominant this afternoon,
0:02:48 > 0:03:06
0:03:06 > 0:03:16causing Bury all kinds of problems. Lowton makes it 3-0, his second of
0:03:16 > 0:03:18
0:03:18 > 0:03:25the campaign. Jones, over the set- piece. Williamson's corner. Belford
0:03:25 > 0:03:33doesn't get there. Here's Erik Tonne, it's four. Excellent finish
0:03:33 > 0:03:41from Erik Tonne. His first League goal for the club, Bury are buried.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47There's the whistle. Sheffield There's the whistle. Sheffield
0:03:47 > 0:03:51United unbeaten start to the season continues. They feel they could
0:03:51 > 0:03:55nick something of the game. If I was in the position of Richie on
0:03:55 > 0:03:59the other side I would have been disappointed to lose it then.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03wins and a a draw, you arrived on the back foot, you are winning them
0:04:03 > 0:04:07over? The players are. Some of the football they played has been
0:04:07 > 0:04:10terrific. Today, more than anything, that is the first time where we
0:04:10 > 0:04:15have been in total command, from our point of view, and played how
0:04:15 > 0:04:19we want to do. Not having to react to the opposition. Some of the good
0:04:19 > 0:04:23football was good. The work ethnic was good for me today. One or two
0:04:23 > 0:04:27teams haven't won a game yet. They haven't played the quality we have
0:04:27 > 0:04:33played. In terms of losing the players. If you are successful,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37people want to buy your players. If we were sitting second from bottom
0:04:37 > 0:04:41no-one would have bought our players. We have to accept we are
0:04:41 > 0:04:46doing something rietion right. We have to accept people will want to
0:04:46 > 0:04:50buy our players. We are doing things right.we will move on. I
0:04:50 > 0:04:54believe and the players believed we could get something, it's not the
0:04:54 > 0:04:57end of the world we haven't. We have to compete with the teams in
0:04:57 > 0:05:07and around us. Well, there were nine other games
0:05:07 > 0:05:11in the NPower League One, so let's in the NPower League One, so let's
0:05:11 > 0:05:18catch up with them. COMMENTATOR: MK Dons deserved their
0:05:18 > 0:05:22spot at the summit of League One. Their football was too strong to
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Carlisle. They failed to clear their lines when they had the
0:05:27 > 0:05:32chance. Porter clipped over the perfect cross for Charlie MacDonald.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Three goals in as many matches for the new signing from Brentford have
0:05:38 > 0:05:43helped to make up the for the loss of Sam Bullock. When the Dons
0:05:43 > 0:05:53returned from the dressing room they were back in the groove. Adam
0:05:53 > 0:06:00Smith playing in Stephen Gleeson who picked up Dean Bowditch, simple.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Lee Miller put Carlisle back in contention. It had the fans in full
0:06:06 > 0:06:13voice, a deafening noise, according to Robinson. His players didn't
0:06:13 > 0:06:19stray from the smooth passing philosophy. The Dons aren't short
0:06:19 > 0:06:24of fire power. In the four previous trips away they have racked up 11
0:06:25 > 0:06:34goals. That tally is up to 14 thanks to this eye-catching move
0:06:35 > 0:06:40
0:06:40 > 0:06:43that guaranteed three more points. Lewington rounded off this win.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Walsall's enkor couraging start to the campaign gave their followers
0:06:47 > 0:06:55every reason to be optimistic this season. That was the case before
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Brentford arrived. They never recovered from a woeful first half.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Donaldson had them cruising towards the break. The home side set about
0:07:05 > 0:07:10repairing the damage. Ryan Jarvis almost had them level with this
0:07:10 > 0:07:15thunder bolt. Brentford were full value for the win, they are up to
0:07:15 > 0:07:18value for the win, they are up to fourth. It was a lacklustre first
0:07:18 > 0:07:22half performance. Unlike us. Second half performance I thought we
0:07:22 > 0:07:32thoroughly deserved to get a share of the game today. Disappointed
0:07:32 > 0:07:32
0:07:32 > 0:07:38of the game today. Disappointed that we didn't. It was a game of
0:07:38 > 0:07:48frue chances. It corner found an unmarked Taylor whose flying header
0:07:48 > 0:07:51
0:07:51 > 0:08:01was as good as it got. Yeovil struggled to create many students.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05
0:08:05 > 0:08:10David Raven committed to a point saving challenge. Lee Hughes had a
0:08:10 > 0:08:20pain in the neck for days, he became one for Bournemouth's
0:08:20 > 0:08:25
0:08:25 > 0:08:35defence. Ben Burgess made his first out of the campaign and Mann made
0:08:35 > 0:08:38
0:08:38 > 0:08:46his debut. Flahavan kept them in with a shout. Arter's ball found
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Marc Pugh, who did the pass justice. Pugh's team hadn't won on the road
0:08:52 > 0:09:02since mid-April. Their own success was at Meadow Lane no. Repeat this
0:09:02 > 0:09:07
0:09:07 > 0:09:17time. Krystian Pearce restored back League defeats behind him.
0:09:17 > 0:09:17
0:09:17 > 0:09:23Corners were proving fruitful. The home side victory made safe by
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Montano who is on-loan. The arrangement has been extended for a
0:09:26 > 0:09:30arrangement has been extended for a month. That was fantastic passing
0:09:30 > 0:09:38performance. Everyone wants to see it played on the grass. We have an
0:09:38 > 0:09:43option with Big Ben up front. We have good players. We have left a
0:09:43 > 0:09:52couple out. One out, two out from last week. They were unlucky.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Brought in, what is his name, Mann, who is great for us, isn't he?
0:09:57 > 0:10:05Burgess is another experienced one. I hope this week we will get one
0:10:05 > 0:10:09more in which will take our game to more in which will take our game to
0:10:09 > 0:10:14another improved level. Scunthorpe's wait for a first
0:10:14 > 0:10:24League win goes on. They had more than enough chances to put one to
0:10:24 > 0:10:26
0:10:26 > 0:10:36bed. The Essex club failed to heed the warning. Barcham had another
0:10:36 > 0:10:38
0:10:38 > 0:10:46chance to set his sights. Cousins kept them at bay. Bobby Grant got
0:10:46 > 0:10:53his sixth goal in all competitions. Jimmy Ryan stretched the home
0:10:53 > 0:10:57side's advantage and ran into this player. As they argued orn over the
0:10:57 > 0:11:01challenge, Grant added his own two pennies worth. Having already been
0:11:01 > 0:11:11booked, the referee had no choice but to reach for his pocket for a
0:11:11 > 0:11:18
0:11:18 > 0:11:28second time. The ten men held tonne their lead until second way -- half
0:11:28 > 0:11:29
0:11:29 > 0:11:39way through the second half. Frustrating day. They deserved to
0:11:39 > 0:11:46
0:11:46 > 0:11:56take maximum points. Barcham's finishing let them down. Hartlepool
0:11:56 > 0:11:57
0:11:57 > 0:12:06were on their best run of form in five-years. After five minutes Gary
0:12:06 > 0:12:15Liddle got the goal and nicked the glory. Flinders had to be sharp.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21The striker on-loan from QPR saw his effort palmed over. Solano
0:12:21 > 0:12:28showed his class. He struck the post from range. Again, the keeper
0:12:28 > 0:12:34was alive to the rebound and denied him for a second time. Flinders
0:12:34 > 0:12:42kept his side ahead stopping Nardiello's effort. The points were
0:12:42 > 0:12:47sealed a minute from time. Monkhouse picked out Luscombe, who
0:12:47 > 0:12:57took Hyslop time, they have an unbeaten run in the League now of
0:12:57 > 0:12:59
0:12:59 > 0:13:09six. Craig Reid set them on their way against Rochdale. The lead was
0:13:09 > 0:13:13
0:13:14 > 0:13:20wiped out by the half hour thanks to Gary Jones. Deal were hoping for
0:13:20 > 0:13:26maximum points. Chris Beardsley had desthried prospect. The keeper was
0:13:26 > 0:13:36unlucky that Beardsley was lurking. The striker's second and fourth of
0:13:36 > 0:13:40
0:13:40 > 0:13:45the season already was much more spectacular. A mixup Saul Trotman
0:13:45 > 0:13:55credited with an own gaul goal that Reid would have been delighted to
0:13:55 > 0:14:03
0:14:03 > 0:14:07claim for himself. Ball got a goal claim for himself. Ball got a goal
0:14:07 > 0:14:17he is on-loan. Our forward game was much better. Quality of our playing
0:14:17 > 0:14:24
0:14:24 > 0:14:29in forward area was improved. We looks to be an excellent piece of
0:14:29 > 0:14:39business for Oldham. Six minutes into his depute he gave his new
0:14:39 > 0:14:44team the lead against Huddersfield. But Anthony Kay put Huddersfield
0:14:44 > 0:14:51back into the match, setting it up nicely for the second half. This
0:14:51 > 0:14:56was always going to be a tight encounter, and with 14 minutes left,
0:14:56 > 0:15:05and ill-timed lunge by five -- by Bradley Diallo led to the ultimate
0:15:05 > 0:15:15punishment. The home side just about held on but were given a real
0:15:15 > 0:15:23
0:15:23 > 0:15:33tough side to this season, with the fleet years defences in the
0:15:33 > 0:15:43
0:15:43 > 0:15:49division. Alex Mendy almost opened the volley from Jack Lester was the
0:15:49 > 0:15:53best of a lot but still they drew a blank. Leyton Orient nearly grabbed
0:15:53 > 0:16:03victory in the second half through Dean Cox, he should have done
0:16:03 > 0:16:06
0:16:06 > 0:16:16What about League Two? Our feature game is at the County Ground with
0:16:16 > 0:16:17
0:16:17 > 0:16:24managers outside the Premier League. Paulo Di Canio will be hoping for
0:16:25 > 0:16:30or a positive end to what has been a forgettable week. They had a
0:16:30 > 0:16:37calming cup exit which ended with an angry pit side row with his
0:16:37 > 0:16:45striker in front of the fans and media. Paulo Di Canio has vowed
0:16:45 > 0:16:50never to select Clarke again. There are five changes in all, including
0:16:50 > 0:16:56the Italian goalkeeper, and with his debut. The impressive start by
0:16:56 > 0:17:06Rotherham to the campaign has been jilted by the sale of their top
0:17:06 > 0:17:28
0:17:28 > 0:17:38striker to Reading. Alex Revell it man's land, I think he was hoping
0:17:38 > 0:18:17
0:18:17 > 0:18:23debut, he marked his first appearance as a Rotherham United
0:18:23 > 0:18:27player by scoring against Leyton Orient, as he did last season. It
0:18:27 > 0:18:37is their first attempt on target and they have scored from it. The
0:18:37 > 0:18:47man brought in to replace the prolific striker announces to his
0:18:47 > 0:18:47
0:18:47 > 0:19:47Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds
0:19:47 > 0:19:54of the battered and bruised shot from Matt Ritchie is deflected
0:19:54 > 0:20:04in! He takes the plaudits, and Swindon are level. He goes straight
0:20:04 > 0:20:11over to the manager, to show the degree of unity. Matt Ritchie
0:20:11 > 0:20:21strikes it, who does it hit last? It is an own goal. But Matt Ritchie
0:20:21 > 0:20:21
0:20:21 > 0:21:17Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds
0:21:17 > 0:21:23does not care and neither did his to Rotherham. Really good skills,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27quick feet and good balance. Rotherham have largely been pressed
0:21:27 > 0:21:35back by Swindon but have an opportunity here. And they have
0:21:35 > 0:21:41taken that a opportunity! And it is Alex Revell again! A great leap and
0:21:41 > 0:21:51a good header. And Swindon, who dominated the early minutes of the
0:21:51 > 0:22:10
0:22:10 > 0:22:16second half, find themselves behind have given a free kick. And it is a
0:22:16 > 0:22:23second yellow card for Danny Schofield and off goes Danny
0:22:23 > 0:22:31Schofield. That was the challenge and I do not think Danny Schofield
0:22:31 > 0:22:36can argue too much about it, having been booked in the first half. A
0:22:36 > 0:22:46substitution for Swindon. Alan Connell coming on, striker for
0:22:46 > 0:23:10
0:23:10 > 0:23:20straight into the back of the net ten men could not hold out for more
0:23:20 > 0:23:22
0:23:22 > 0:23:32than about 20 seconds -- game on. It brings this reaction from the
0:23:32 > 0:24:03
0:24:03 > 0:24:09Alan Connell is there again! It was a wicked ball by Matt Ritchie,
0:24:09 > 0:24:14attacked by Alan Connell, and he buries it into the same corner in
0:24:14 > 0:24:24which he put Swindon level a few minutes earlier. And Paulo Di
0:24:24 > 0:24:33
0:24:33 > 0:24:41Canio's pretty miserable week is Comazzi, and he got one in the
0:24:41 > 0:24:46first half, and he has gone! For the second time in the match, a
0:24:46 > 0:24:56second yellow card for the same player, and that means read, for
0:24:56 > 0:24:59
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Once again, we show how we can play against the best side in the league.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09I told my lads that they are up there not for coincidence but
0:25:09 > 0:25:19because they played good football, they are real athletes, they have
0:25:19 > 0:25:19
0:25:19 > 0:25:26good physical condition. But if we play the way we did against
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Southampton or against Oxford, we will then the game. We always said
0:25:30 > 0:25:35that with Paulo Di Canio in charge it would be lively at Swindon Town,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and we were not wrong. Let us see what happened at Burton Albion,
0:25:40 > 0:25:49because they were taking on a cash- strapped Plymouth side for whom the
0:25:50 > 0:25:54
0:25:54 > 0:25:59fans were not quite sure what kind business as usual for Peter Reid he
0:25:59 > 0:26:06was relieved at most of his squad available after the players opted
0:26:06 > 0:26:13again strike action. The black cloud a -- the black cloud hanging
0:26:13 > 0:26:22over their Clarke showed little sign of moving on. With the home
0:26:22 > 0:26:26side in front, Calvin Zola accepted a gift from the goalkeeper. Despite
0:26:26 > 0:26:36all the off-field problems at Home Park, the players have continued to
0:26:36 > 0:26:41
0:26:41 > 0:26:47work hard but have not had the best I can do better. At the other end,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Zola showed his skill before suffering the same fate. The
0:26:51 > 0:26:55troubling green army had their moment of light relief later on.
0:26:55 > 0:27:05There remain many questions to answer at Home Park, including were
0:27:05 > 0:27:06
0:27:06 > 0:27:10It is tough. The players just up to keep working hard and I want to get
0:27:10 > 0:27:20some strength in the side imperfect positions. Keep on working hard,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22
0:27:22 > 0:27:27left it late as Phil Parkinson took charge for the first time. Traffic
0:27:27 > 0:27:31problems meant a delayed start for his opening match at Morecambe. No
0:27:32 > 0:27:35doubt the new boss will have been encouraged after taking his side to
0:27:35 > 0:27:44the break all square, but just before the hour, the home side got
0:27:44 > 0:27:52into their stride. The thunderous finish divided the two teams until
0:27:52 > 0:27:57deep into store much time when two substitutes combined to learn Lee
0:27:57 > 0:28:02point. At that there Johnsons paint trophy success in the week,
0:28:02 > 0:28:08suddenly there look looks much brighter for Bradford -- after
0:28:08 > 0:28:13their success. Crawley are back on track. Eight --
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Tyrone Barnett got the final touch to establish a lead which they
0:28:18 > 0:28:23doubled just before the half-hour. Some quick-thinking set up Ben
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Smith. No stopping that and the same was true after the break, when
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Matt Tubbs showed why Crystal Palace and Charlton were said to be
0:28:31 > 0:28:39sniffing around during the week. The only consolation for Bristol
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Rovers was the mishit cross from Lee Brown 10 minutes from the end.
0:28:44 > 0:28:54There was no reason for Bristol Rovers to celebrate. This was still
0:28:54 > 0:29:09
0:29:09 > 0:29:15a trouncing. Four goals for Tyrone their 100% record at breeze filled
0:29:15 > 0:29:21and the goalkeeper kept the minute with a string of good saves. The
0:29:21 > 0:29:28home side should have taken the lead to. The referee had no
0:29:28 > 0:29:31hesitation in giving the decision. Danny Kewell has already scored
0:29:31 > 0:29:39twice from the spot but the Shrewsbury goalkeeper was equal to
0:29:39 > 0:29:45the effort. The game was heading towards a stalemate went the
0:29:45 > 0:29:51goalkeeper and needlessly attended McAllister. The referee ordered to
0:29:51 > 0:30:01retake. Again it was down to Nicky Wroe, who insured the 0.4 Graham
0:30:01 > 0:30:05
0:30:05 > 0:30:15Hereford's step after their first League One since early April. It
0:30:15 > 0:30:23
0:30:23 > 0:30:33seemed like it was going to be the aim old story. Winnall struck the
0:30:33 > 0:30:36
0:30:36 > 0:30:46blow just before time. Port Vale manager felt it was criminal they
0:30:46 > 0:30:50
0:30:50 > 0:30:56didn't a point at Wimbledon. Dodds was denied by this clearance. Ben
0:30:56 > 0:31:06Williamson's missed out. His radar was not quite locked in. Wimbledon

0:31:24 > 0:31:31got the rebound. Dodds was denied again on the line. He must have
0:31:31 > 0:31:41wondwhaerd he had to do to get on the scoresheet. Dodds didn't give
0:31:41 > 0:31:41
0:31:41 > 0:31:47the Dons a chance to get a man back on the line. Relief all round. That
0:31:47 > 0:31:56only lasted until the hour mark. Gwillim scored. Hard to believe his
0:31:56 > 0:32:01last goal was almost three years ago. Vale were not to be undone.
0:32:01 > 0:32:11Mosy levelled things again. Surely that would be enough a to take a
0:32:11 > 0:32:15
0:32:15 > 0:32:23point back. In time added on, Jolley sent Dons fans home happy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28The finish a final dagger through Vale fan's hearts. Four defeats
0:32:28 > 0:32:38from their first five games highlights what a miserable start
0:32:38 > 0:32:42
0:32:42 > 0:32:47to the season it has been for Crewe. They saw off Oxford. Miller opened
0:32:47 > 0:32:55the scoring. Miller got the second. United boss felt his side could
0:32:55 > 0:33:03have got something. Pass the hour, Crewe were out of sight. Leitch-
0:33:03 > 0:33:11Smith timed his run to perfection. The visitors refused to give up.
0:33:11 > 0:33:18Smalley set up Liam Davis. The home team were facing an anxious ten
0:33:18 > 0:33:28minutes. Davis fancied his chances from range. Crewe hung on for their
0:33:28 > 0:33:32
0:33:32 > 0:33:41first win at home. Macclesfield held their own in the firs half,
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Torquay turned the screw after the break. Nobody was going to stop
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Saah from opening his account for the club. That header was the first
0:33:51 > 0:33:59time Macclesfield had conceded in four league games. It wouldn't be
0:33:59 > 0:34:09the last. Three defenders confronted Lee Mansell but none
0:34:09 > 0:34:11
0:34:11 > 0:34:19attempted a tackle. Torquay saved the best to last. O'Kane made it's
0:34:19 > 0:34:26Macclesfield's heaviest defeat so far. Both managers weren't over the
0:34:26 > 0:34:36moon by their side's performance. Aldershot brought Cheltenham's good
0:34:36 > 0:34:45
0:34:45 > 0:34:54run to the end. Jermaine McGlashan went close to breaking the deadlock.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Aldershot's unbeaten run stands at four games in all competitions. For
0:34:59 > 0:35:09the best part of an hour things could hardly have gone better for
0:35:09 > 0:35:12
0:35:12 > 0:35:21Southend. Mohsni got this terrific strike. Ryan Hall let fly after the
0:35:22 > 0:35:30break. 59 minutes gone and Southend seemed comfortable. Akinfenwa was
0:35:30 > 0:35:34unstoppable. North Hampton had lost their last five games in all
0:35:34 > 0:35:44competitions. This was a real tonic for the boss who missed the match
0:35:44 > 0:36:04
0:36:04 > 0:36:09through illness. This equalliser had them on course for a point.
0:36:09 > 0:36:19Nick McKoy departed the pitch slightly earlier than his team-
0:36:19 > 0:36:19
0:36:19 > 0:36:24mates after this tackle. It's never good when there are more red cards
0:36:24 > 0:36:28than goals in a game. The first man to go was Charlie Barnet. There is
0:36:28 > 0:36:37little argument that his two-footed lung didn't deserve instant
0:36:37 > 0:36:45dismissal. The loss of manpower did little to put off Stanley who were
0:36:45 > 0:36:51inspired by the situation. Fletcher raced clear to set up Ian KCraney.
0:36:51 > 0:36:57This effort skimmed the post. Crane was a torn in Barnet's side, so
0:36:57 > 0:37:06much so they left him alone. This clip nearly returned the form for
0:37:06 > 0:37:11Fletcher, who was unable to convert. Kevin Long judged to have stopped a
0:37:11 > 0:37:15goalscoring opportunity. No hesitation for the referee to go to
0:37:15 > 0:37:25his pocket. Despite being done to nine they hung on for a valuable
0:37:25 > 0:37:35nine they hung on for a valuable point. Now a look at the League
