Good evening. It does not seem that long ago since Reading and Swansea | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
brought to an end a thrilling NPower Championship season. This | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
season, the Football League includes Birmingham City, Crawley | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Town and AFC Wimbledon. Those teams have been in action already. We | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :00:59. | ||
will see how they got on in the Brighton have finally got a place | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
they can call home. Their first league game at the Amex Stadium was | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
against Doncaster Rovers. Southampton came up with Brighton. | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:22. | ||
They were at home to Leeds United. There has been the usual Mary -- | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
managerial merry-go-round. We will see how the first week panned out | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
for the new boys. And in League 2, familiar name his back. Nine years | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
ago, AFC Wimbledon held... Five promotions later and they are | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
preparing for the visit of Bristol Rovers. We'll know how difficult it | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
is to get on the property ladder at this -- these days. Spare a thought | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
for Brighton and Hove Albion. They have waited 14 years for a place of | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
their own. Finally they have got one. After a long drawn-out Sagar, | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
Brighton now only the Amex Stadium. Doncaster Rovers were the visitors | :02:16. | :02:26. | |

for the first League match. Martin Brighton and Hove Albion. -- and | :02:30. | :02:38. | |

only just survived last season. Craig Mackail-Smith, Brighton's | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
record signing, makes his debut. LuaLua is back on loan from | :02:48. | :02:58. | |

The referee reaching into his pocket. A yellow card. I think it | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
:04:13. | :04:22. | ||
was a Mama must attempt to get the while a while. For trying to win | :04:22. | :04:32. | |

couple of minutes. The referee coming to the sidelines to have a | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :04:59. | ||
word with his assistant. What is the problem for the Uruguayan | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
Brighton coach Kim Accy has been sent into the stands. -- he has | :05:06. | :05:11. | |

is too close to the field of play. ball. George rain cleared off the | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
:06:18. | :06:25. | ||
Naylor. It is a yellow card. He was launching in, Richard Naylor. His | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
foot was high. He was not in control of the challenge. It is all | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
:06:45. | :06:53. | ||
The goal is given. Billy Sharp missed a very good chance earlier. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
He puts this one away. Joy for the travelling Doncaster Rovers | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
supporters. It had to be Billy Sharp. The surging run by Ryan | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Mason. He fancied his chances. The ricochet was fortunate. It kissed | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:23. | ||
the post and crossed the line. First blood to Doncaster Rovers. | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
Had they cast in the role of party poopers after all? -- are they | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:51. | ||
the game. The referee could not have been better positioned to give | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
that decision. What a terrible way for Billy Sharp to start the new | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
season. Applauded from the pitch by his own fans. Another injury for a | :08:03. | :08:13. | |

Sean O'Driscoll did -- to contend line. Into the back of the net x | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:28. | ||
back what a thumping strike. Will Buckley it was that let rip. The �1 | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
million man, Will Buckley, who has only just come off the bench, get | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
the honour of being the first Brighton goalscorer at the Amex | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
Stadium. What a strike it was. Beating the goalkeeper at his near | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :10:05. | ||
post. It could not have been placed Smith! That would have been a | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
:10:15. | :10:36. | ||
wonder strike. On the volley, first volley was James Hayter. Now he has | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
taken a knock. A sea of bodies diving in. Sean O'Driscoll has | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
:10:56. | :11:16. | ||
already used his three substitutes. -- 2-1. Will Buckley, deep into | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
injury time. One of Gus Poyet's summer signings. He does the | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
:11:34. | :11:36. | ||
business. What a pass. Quite at finish from Will Buckley. To open | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
his body and guided in past the What disturbs you about the | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
refereeing decisions first half? You should show it. It is not for | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
me to talk about the referee. I'd just got sent off. At the end of | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
the day, if you kill the actions while Owello was on the floor three | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
:12:14. | :12:16. | ||
times -- Lola. He was wrong. You like me or you do not? You take me | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
how I am a or Ike go home and played golf. You must have great | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
:12:33. | :12:34. | ||
pride? Yes. But it is more important that we want. -- won. | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
fairy-tale start for Brighton. What an atmosphere beforehand. It looked | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:53. | ||
absolutely fantastic. It lived up of the hype. Gus Poyet thinks the | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
Owello was wrongly done by here. You have sympathy? -- LuaLua. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
he did was run into the back of James Hayter. It is not a penalty. | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
But it is certainly not a dive. Poyet was frustrated. What was a | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
bad start to the day got better? looked like everybody got caught up | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
in the atmosphere. You cannot lose a lot of nervous energy like this. | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
That is what it looked like to appoint back row. They were three | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
main talking points in this game. - - there were three. Fantastic | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
strike. Difficult skill. Great technique. Teams cannot defend | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
against this because it is players running from deep. He goes past the | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
centre half, breaks the line and it was a good finish. The day of mixed | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
fortunes for Doncaster Rovers. For Billy Sharp, of course. It turned | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
horribly sour for them? Yes. They probably just about deserved to | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
take the lead. The game turned on the substitution for Brighton and | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
you have got to say Billy Sharp's injury. At that stage they were in | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
the game. After he goes off, they suffer another blow. This puts them | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
down to ten men. Brighton took advantage. They scored in the 90th | :14:41. | :14:50. | |
minute and one of the game. -- 98 minute and won the game. Sean | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
O'Driscoll must be cursing his luck? Yes. You normally expect to | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
start the season with a fully-fit squad. But to have a couple of | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
players still injured after last season, that does not help. | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Fantastic start for Brighton. Let's find out what happened to the two | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
teams that came up whip them, Southampton and Peterborough. | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:41. | ||
Southampton were at home to Leeds The strike was spooned away by | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
:15:51. | :16:04. | ||
cole mack back in the division for Southampton. -- goal. Hammond's | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
first goal for a year and a half. The perfect start for Southampton. | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
:16:23. | :16:44. | ||
Adam Lallana. -- they have got a second! Adam Lallana. Steered the | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
:16:54. | :17:26. | ||
ball off the post into the bottom Connolly. He was so deadly in pre- | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
season. It is a good combination. How about the finish? Southampton - | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
- Southampton simply too strong in front of goal. David Connolly. | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
Three in five at the end of last season. He continues that form and | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
:17:55. | :17:55. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :17:55. | :18:38. | |
referee says that are. I think it is more or stumble. There was a | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :19:24. | ||
Chaplow. Does the keeper saved it? Yes he does. Super stop. No penalty | :19:24. | :19:34. | |
:19:34. | :19:48. | ||
being waived. Handball. Penalty. -- waved. Martyn with the arm. Max | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
Gradel scores. He shatters Kelvin Davis's clean sheet. Far too little, | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
:20:08. | :20:09. | ||
We have scored three very good goals. We have had to compete today. | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
We gave our souls some problems. We want to play football. We get a | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
valuable three points. We gave a poor goal away at the end which we | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
:20:30. | :20:32. | ||
was in charge of Preston. He returned to the Championship of 12 | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
months later as Peterborough boss. Crystal Palace were their first | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
:20:49. | :20:50. | ||
opponents. Grant McCann went close. Palace had never won a league game | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:19. | ||
at London Road going into this game. the hour. McCann levelled things. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Palace flirted with relegation for much of last season. This campaign | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
has not started to well. Peterborough came from behind to | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
take the points. David Ball with the winner. A perfect return to the | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:47. | ||
before at a different level. I thought we deserved a win. I | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
thought of role we were the better That will do Peterborough of the | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
Word of God. Yes. I'm sure Darren Ferguson looked at it and thought, | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
first home. These are the sort of games they need to win. Will they | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
:22:19. | :22:20. | ||
struggle for Poles? -- goals. not know. It is amazing what | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
happens. Things are not one on one player. If you have got a good team, | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
everything does not fall apart because one of their leaves. -- one | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
of player leaves. We saw Southampton playing the Tunited. | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
They played with real verve and energy. Yes. The three close that | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
came into this division last year did very well. -- clubs. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
Southampton are a big club. They will expect to come up and do well | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
and be competitive. After what Norwich have achieved, they will be | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
thinking the same? Yes. They have got size, stature and a good | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
infrastructure. We start our round- up with the team that came down | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
last season. With West Ham but playing until Sunday, the spotlight | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :24:12. | ||
fell on Birmingham City and caressed the outside of the goal. | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
:24:22. | :24:36. | ||
Made for him by Taylor-Fletcher. It Barmby over the bar. What an | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:55. | ||
opportunity for a whole city. -- Fletcher! Blackpool at last take | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
the lead. Taylor-Fletcher, who scored the first goal of the | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Premier League campaign for Blackpool last season, scored the | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
first goal of the NPower Championship campaign. It was a | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
:25:22. | :25:23. | ||
thumping strike. The points destined for the visitors. One more | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:33. | ||
chance maybe. Simpson! He has put it over. Blackpool caught square. | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
Gilks in no-man's-land. Simpson higher and well over the top. | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
scored a goal and they did not. If they had got the first goal, it | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
could have been them. For a us it should have been worst case | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
scenario, a draw. It was a good finish, to be fair. But there -- | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
having seen the goal again there are aspect I am rather too pleased | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
about. We have still created plenty of chances. Stuart of won of the | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
game. -- should have. Chris Hughton's first competitive match | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
in charge a Birmingham City saw them travelled to meet Derby County. | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
-- Travel. They were in good shape early on. Ridgewell came close. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
With 19 minutes played Birmingham moved in front. Curtis Davies on | :26:37. | :26:46. | |
hand. With nine signings, Nigel Clough has reshaped his team over | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
the summer. It was one of those new arrivals who equalised, Jason | :26:50. | :26:58. | |
Shackell. Derby turned the match in their favour just before half-time. | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
:27:08. | :27:09. | ||
Steve Davis was given too much time and space. Derby ended last season | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
with four consecutive league defeat. There were no signs of that here. | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
Jamie Ward hit the woodwork. Chris Hughton's side went in search of a | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
late equaliser and they almost got it. Stephen Carr fired into the | :27:26. | :27:36. | |
:27:36. | :27:40. | ||
lot of good teams to play. If we can take that same energy and at -- | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
enthusiasm into the next games and true good result. -- I am sure we | :27:48. | :27:56. | |
will get results. There was no need for a brolly at the City Ground. It | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
never rains goals for Nottingham Forest on the opening day. Barnsley | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
have a new manager. Keith Hill's team could have taken the lead. | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
Forest should have put an end to their opening day jinks. Lewis | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
McGugan was presented with a great chance. But he could not finish. It | :28:21. | :28:30. | |
ended in a draw. We just lack did in the final third. At the end of | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
the day what is a football match about? It is about what you do in | :28:33. | :28:39. | |
your box to keep a clean sheet, and the other box do we win the game. | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
We succeeded that one and failed at the other. -- at one. Another | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
former England manager was on show at the Ricoh Arena. Coventry and | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
Leicester City was an early kick- off. The bad feelings surface after | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
10 minutes when the riots Vassell lungs that Richard Keogh. The | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
former England striker received the first red card of the season. The | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
Sky Blues looked to make the most of their advantage. David Bell | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
tried his luck from distance. But a new Fox's keeper Kasper Schmeichel | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
was equal to it. -- the new Leicester keeper. The last four | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
meeting had ended in a trough. The teams were level in terms of | :29:29. | :29:35. | |
dismissals before the break. Carroll Baker was sent off. -- Carl | :29:35. | :29:44. | |
collecting new players this summer. Seven of the ten new signings made | :29:44. | :29:54. | |
:29:54. | :29:57. | ||
their debuts in this game including David Nugent. The first were Lee | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
David Nugent. The first were Lee Peltier. | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
It was a very difficult game, a local derby. They are moving around | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
the ball very good. A technically good team and we have to chase a | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
lot when they have the ball, but we won and of course, I'm happy. | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
I felt we let them off the hook today because, you you know, when | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
they went to ten men, even more so. That's a lesson we've got to learn. | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
We dominated the game and then through lack of professionalism we | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
let them back into it. We dealt with that in the dressing room and | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
with that in the dressing room and it won't happen again. | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
Millwall began their League campaign. Their hosts were looking | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
to shake off the hangover of defeat in last year's play-off final. | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
James Henry and Darius Henderson combined, the latter heading in on | :31:00. | :31:08. | |
his debut having signed from Sheffield United. Brian McDermott's | :31:08. | :31:15. | |
side responded positively. The Duchess of Cambridge is a | :31:15. | :31:25. | |
:31:25. | :31:29. | ||
Reading fan, but John Marquis doubled the visitors advantage. | :31:29. | :31:39. | |
:31:39. | :31:49. | ||
The Royals went on the offensive. Mathieu Manset is super sub. Three | :31:49. | :31:55. | |
minutes later, he was at it again to complete the Reading recovery as | :31:55. | :32:05. | |
he headed in this perfect cross to Another team would have thought | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
that was it. To give credit to the players, they kept going and showed | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
fantastic resilience. If you offered me a draw at the | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
start of the week, I would have taken it. After looking like we | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
were in a good position, with not much time on the clock, we were | :32:21. | :32:31. | |
:32:31. | :32:35. | ||
much time on the clock, we were the championship's only rooky | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
manager as last season the Lancashire club had done the double | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
over the visitors. They are without Danny Graham. That didn't seem to | :32:44. | :32:52. | |
matter on the stroke of half-time. Watford doubled their advantage | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
mid-way through the second half. Mark Yeates celebrating his victory | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
following his move from Sheffield United. | :33:01. | :33:07. | |
Within an opening day defeat staring them in the face, the | :33:07. | :33:16. | |
Clarets rallied. Charlie Austin with the final touch from Keith | :33:16. | :33:26. | |
:33:26. | :33:33. | ||
Treacy's shot. Treacy Marking his To come up here and take the game | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
to them as we did for a large part of it, we knew they would try and | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
create chances because they played open and just at the end we | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
couldn't see the game out. A really good fightback. It was | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
always going to be difficult, but Keith came on and gave us real | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
impetus and the lads kept fighting for each other and we were pleased | :33:54. | :34:04. | |
:34:04. | :34:08. | ||
two seasons disastrously. They start this one with a long trip to | :34:08. | :34:17. | |
Middlesbrough. The Dutch striker finishing in some | :34:17. | :34:27. | |
style. A Portsmouth squad saw more | :34:27. | :34:36. | |
departures, Steve cot Steve Cotterill only managed to name four | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
substitutes. Seven minutes later, Middlesbrough were ahead again as | :34:42. | :34:49. | |
Nicky Bailey threaded the ball through to Rhys Williams. | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
Middlesbrough back in front and a painful 310 mile trip loomed home | :34:55. | :35:05. | |
:35:05. | :35:06. | ||
for those who travelled to watch It was a good, entertaining game. I | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
don't know how many people were here. It was an entertaining game. | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
It was full of goals and what the championship is about. | :35:13. | :35:22. | |
We played with a lot of players 6'4", 6'3". We suffered a few times | :35:22. | :35:29. | |
6'4", 6'3". We suffered a few times last year and we did again today. | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
Bristol City won one of their eleven championship games last | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
season. They were looking for a better start this year. Visitors | :35:37. | :35:43. | |
Ipswich have been busy in the transfer market over the summer. | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
They may have lost Conor Wickham, but he has been replaced by Michael | :35:49. | :35:58. | |
Chopra. City will be hoping that Nicky Maynard can stay injury free. | :35:58. | :36:04. | |
Maynard was ruled off side. Ipswich have a strong recent record against | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
the Robins, they hadn't lost in their last six meetings and they | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
went further ahead thanks to Lee Martin. City suffered a 3-0 home | :36:14. | :36:24. | |
dpe feet home defeat to Millwall last year. Rice and James can share | :36:24. | :36:34. | |
:36:34. | :36:35. | ||
Everyone spoke this week in the papers about how tough the league | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
is. It is a real tough league. Bristol City are a descent team. | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
Today, it was our day. It is the worst possible start | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
really. The manner of defeat is hard to accept. We gave three bad | :36:47. | :36:53. | |
goals away. A great start for Ipswich Town. | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
They have been tagged as dark horses for promotion, is that the | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
way you see it? I think they are real live wires. They brought seven | :37:02. | :37:08. | |
in. They have gone down the route of paying descent wages. I see that | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
good form continuing. I expect them to be there or thereabouts this | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
year. We saw Blackpool beat Hull on | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
Friday night. It is tricky, we are not sure what we are going to get | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
from the Blues considering their situation at board level? I don't | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
think anyone can pinpoint what season they will have until we get | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
to the end of August. The problem is we don't know who will stay and | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
who will go. They will look to get this month out of the way as soon | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
as possible. Reading blew away all talk of a | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
play-off hangover thanks to their super sub? I have been in a | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
situation where I lost play-off games and you say, it can affect | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
you at the start of the next season, no, it was deja vu, they have given | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
themselves a mountain to climb as they did in the play-off final. | :38:00. | :38:05. | |
They have managed to get themselves out of a sticky situation. He comes | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
on and it was a tough start when he went to Reading at first. It is a | :38:10. | :38:18. | |
big ask coming from Hereford. Talking of the leading runners for | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
promotion, Leicester are up there alongside West Ham, they have worn | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
out the chequebook, but they need the players to gel. It is a great | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
start for for Sven, but that's what everyone was expecting? We talk | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
about players to gel. If you put players in their right positions, | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
they will play well. It is not a case of getting players to gel. | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
That was the case last year, it was a scatter gun approach. This year, | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
it looks more measured. Being an ex-Leicester boy, there is a good | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
gel. Sven know that is. No room for failure. | :38:55. | :39:04. | |
Let's look at League one. United are joining Sheffield | :39:04. | :39:14. | |
:39:14. | :39:20. | ||
Wednesday. The Blades open their after his controversial appointment | :39:20. | :39:28. | |
in the summer. Harry Maguire crashed in Stephen Quinn's corner. | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
Wilson's arrival was hardly popular given his tie to say Sheffield | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
Wednesday, but maybe his critics will revise their opinion after a | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
comfortable display. Chris Porter sent Quinn on his way who delivered | :39:41. | :39:51. | |
:39:51. | :39:54. | ||
sent Quinn on his way who delivered the perfect cross for Cresswell. | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
They have got got good, experienced They have got got good, experienced | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
players. With 18 goals in Colchester's last | :40:04. | :40:14. | |
three season openers. This year, they stuck four past Preston. | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
Ian Henderson finished last season with five goals in six games. He | :40:18. | :40:25. | |
picked up where he left off after half-time, doubling the lead after | :40:26. | :40:34. | |
some lax Preston defending. Neil Meler is back at Deep Dale | :40:34. | :40:41. | |
this season. He finish from Graham Alexander's pass. | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
But five minutes later, Colchester's two goal cushion was | :40:46. | :40:54. | |
restored. Henderson celebrating his second after the Preston defence | :40:54. | :41:04. | |
:41:04. | :41:04. | ||
went AWOL. Phil Brown's men still weren't done. | :41:04. | :41:10. | |
They made it 3-2. It was all in vain. This close | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
range finish confirmed the points and another memorable start to the | :41:14. | :41:23. | |
We have beaten a very good team today. It could have gone | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
differently, but we have managed to find four goals against a good side | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
that I would back to be in the top two or three come the end because | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
they have got good strikers and we managed to pinch it today. I'm | :41:37. | :41:47. | |
:41:47. | :41:53. | ||
pleased about the way we've gone season for Bristol Rovers. | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
Scunthorpe hit back before the break. The Michaels combined for | :42:00. | :42:05. | |
Nelson to head home. It was an entertaining match with plenty of | :42:05. | :42:11. | |
chances at either end and Gareth Ainsworth clipped the post with a | :42:11. | :42:17. | |
volley. Tempers threatened to boil over | :42:17. | :42:27. | |
:42:27. | :42:30. | ||
when Ben Strevens through himself into a challenge. Strevens was | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
shown the red card. With time running out, Scunthorpe pushed on | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
and thought they would nick three points, but this header was ruled | :42:38. | :42:48. | |
:42:48. | :42:55. | ||
out for off side. It finish 1-1 -- their fair share of of first day | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
disappointments. This goal helped buck the trend against newly | :43:00. | :43:09. | |
promoted Chesterfield. Andy Robinson and Adam ma girk, a result | :43:09. | :43:19. | |
:43:19. | :43:27. | ||
last season, are Huddersfield still nursing a hangover? They got lucky | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
will Cullen was denied what looked like a clear penalty. The tide soon | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
to be turning in the second half. Roberts gave Huddersfield the lead | :43:36. | :43:46. | |
:43:46. | :43:46. | ||
when he converted from Lee Novak's cross. But that served only to | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
inspire Bury. Tremendous away form paved the way from their pro | :43:51. | :44:01. | |
position from -- promotion from League two. Peter Clarke cleared | :44:01. | :44:09. | |
off the goal line. Ryan Lowe got 28 goals last year | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
and the first of his campaign was enough for a point. | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
We could have been better with the ball and without the ball. Credit | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
to Bury they have come and done a good job on us. | :44:23. | :44:28. | |
Stevenage built their success last season on being hard to beat. This | :44:28. | :44:34. | |
looks likely to continue as they earned a point against Exeter. In a | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
match where chances were at a premium, the home side nearly took | :44:39. | :44:49. | |
:44:49. | :44:51. | ||
the lead. Big nell had time and space. | :44:51. | :45:01. | |
:45:01. | :45:03. | ||
Stephenage start life in League one asking to face Bournemouth at the | :45:04. | :45:11. | |
start of next season too. Having seen them on day one of last year. | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
Bobby Wright-Phillips setting up Dale Stevens to put Chris Powell's | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
men on course for a comfortable win. After the break, Charlton doubled | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
their lead in spectacular fashion. This fabulous volley left their | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
opponents well and truly floored. After reaching the the play-offs | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
last term, Bournemouth will be expecting to be challenging this | :45:34. | :45:41. | |
time and hopes of a recovery were raised as Phew wriggled his way | :45:41. | :45:51. | |
:45:51. | :45:58. | ||
forward. It got worse when Adam Barrett clipped the shins of | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
Wright-Phillips. Not hard to see why Charlton are one of the | :46:01. | :46:11. | |
:46:11. | :46:27. | ||
to curse their luck at home to Hartlepool. Carol Robinson's side | :46:27. | :46:34. | |
dominated possession. Adam Boyd's header. A period of pressure at the | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
start of the second half paid off for last season's play-offs semi- | :46:39. | :46:49. | |
:46:49. | :46:49. | ||
finalists. With the visitors under the kosh, kosh, three minutes later | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
this goal looked like giving Hartlepool their first ever win at | :46:54. | :47:04. | |
:47:04. | :47:07. | ||
stadium MK. 91 minutes were showing when this | :47:07. | :47:17. | |
:47:17. | :47:30. | ||
but the manager will be hoping for more this seasonment he has | :47:30. | :47:37. | |
reshaped the squad and one of his new signings made an appact. Adam | :47:37. | :47:45. | |
Chambers punished his former employers with this effort. | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
Orient missed out on the play-offs last season. They created the two | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
best chances. James Walker made a good save. | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
Smith thought he earned his side a point when his header looked to be | :47:59. | :48:09. | |
:48:09. | :48:15. | ||
going in, but Walker proved to be Rob Jones got Wednesday off to a | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
flyer after a whopping through from Julian Bennett. | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
After being dominated in the first- half, the Lancashire club found | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
confidence. Ashley Grimes almost levelled the score, but the post | :48:28. | :48:38. | |
:48:38. | :48:41. | ||
came to Wednesday's rescue. The Owls rattled the woodwork too. | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
This latest success was their fifth victory in six matches at | :48:45. | :48:51. | |
Hillsborough, sealed in thunderous fashion. | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
We know that Rob will score gels from set piece. David, we have | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
spoken to all our players and to me saying whatever you have done in | :49:00. | :49:05. | |
the past, you are expected to chip in and certainly, you know, it is a | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
fantastic goal by David in front of the cop on his first debut at | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
Hillsborough. He set himself a standard that we will look for him | :49:14. | :49:24. | |
:49:24. | :49:43. | ||
Jones. Gary Alexander was successful from the spot. | :49:43. | :49:53. | |
:49:53. | :50:05. | ||
The Bees eased to victory. A second a habit for grabbing the headlines | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
for right and wrong reasons. He played a big part in the Magpies | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
first having knocked over Peter Murphy. He looked to Jeff Hughes to | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
tap home. A debut goal for the former Bristol Rovers man for the | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
travelling fans to enjoy. The goal was contested by the home side who | :50:24. | :50:34. | |
:50:34. | :50:34. | ||
felt that Murphy was fouled in the build-up. Hughes made it three | :50:34. | :50:44. | |
:50:44. | :50:57. | ||
when Murphy and Hughes clashed, the referee spotted this. A yellow card | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
was the players final act in the match as he was substituted with 22 | :51:02. | :51:12. | |
:51:12. | :51:13. | ||
minutes to play. That was little in the build up to that game. What | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
they need is more than three points on the opening day, is stability at | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
that football club? Yes, I think they have got it now. Martin | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
steadied the ship last year and made sure they were all right. They | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
have started very well. I know they will be well organised. He has got | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
them very, very ready for whatever them very, very ready for whatever | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
is coming. It is fair to say Danny Wilson | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
ruffled a few feathers. He needs to get the fans on side | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
and nothing like three points to do that? That's the good thing about | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
football things can change quickly. Someone's perception of you - a | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
couple of descent results and suddenly you are everyone's ket | :51:52. | :51:58. | |
afish. -- kettle of fish. | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
As for Charlton, a huge change on and off the pitch. 15 new signings. | :52:03. | :52:10. | |
It is fair to say he is stamping his mark on that side? He is able | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
to take two or three months to see what was good enough and what | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
wasn't. He knows they needed to be better this year. Massive changes, | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
but I am impressed with some of the signings he made and I'm expecting | :52:25. | :52:33. | |
them to punch their weight. A great finish by Wagstaff there. | :52:33. | :52:41. | |
A nightmare start for Phil Brown's men men. Preston were difficult to | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
play against and difficult to beat. You wouldn't put a side that | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
couldn't buy a win away from home and found it difficult to win on | :52:48. | :52:58. | |
:52:58. | :53:03. | ||
their travels, scoring four against them particularly at Deep Dale. | :53:03. | :53:11. | |
big Football League welcome to the new football manager. | :53:11. | :53:18. | |
It has been given a degree of latitude in the transfer market. | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
The Swindon manager does his work. He puts the things in place to have | :53:22. | :53:26. | |
a good season and you get the feeling that could be the same with | :53:26. | :53:33. | |
Brentford. Bury, away to Huddersfield. League | :53:33. | :53:43. | |
two now. The latest stage of an incredible | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
rebirth in South West London. It sounds like the perfect story for | :53:48. | :53:53. | |
Mark Clemmant to kick off his Football League season. | :53:53. | :54:03. | |
:54:03. | :54:09. | ||
The AFC Wimbledon story is a Formed as recently as 2002, their | :54:09. | :54:19. | |
:54:19. | :54:23. | ||
creation came when Wimbledon FC moved. Quite a few reacted by | :54:24. | :54:32. | |
forming their own club, AFC Wimbledon. Describe the feelings | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
running amongst the supporters when the FA did sanction the move to | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
Milton Keynes? A lot of sadness. A lot of anger really. A lot of it | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
was a real empty feeling in your stomach, what are we going to do | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
now? We can't go up there to watch football and it wouldn't be | :54:49. | :54:59. | |
:54:59. | :55:02. | ||
Wimbledon anyway. They were humble beginnings for AFC, | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
they didn't have any players and they held trials on Wimbledon | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
Common. He is no good, don't sign him! As a | :55:10. | :55:15. | |
new club they had to start at the bottom and work their way up. They | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
moved their way through the leagues and then the two conference | :55:19. | :55:25. | |
divisions. Just nine years and five promotions later, AFC Wimbledon are | :55:25. | :55:35. | |
:55:35. | :55:35. | ||
in the Football League! We have been doing the Football | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
League Show for two years, I don't think I have ever had to use an | :55:39. | :55:44. | |
umbrella, what does that tell you? I can see you're hardly prepared | :55:44. | :55:52. | |
for the rain! These boys here behind me have | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
created history by getting us in the Football League and I've got | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
utter faith and utter belief that this group of lads can take us to | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
another level, if not this year, within the next three years. | :56:05. | :56:15. | |
:56:15. | :56:18. | ||
What are you serving Nicky? Chinese. Chinese. | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
He is 18 years old, look a the state of him. | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
We never try to emulate the crazy game. It was brilliant for that | :56:26. | :56:33. | |
time and I think it is time now for AFC Wimbledon to create their own | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
history and we're starting to do that. | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
So you you stand on the terraces and you watch as a fan of the old | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
Wimbledon when they get relegated out of the Premier League and now, | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
you are going to be playing your first game in the Football League | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
for AFC, your story is every bit of the club itself? Yes, it has been | :56:54. | :57:02. | |
an interesting ride to get to this point. It will be a massive honour. | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
Oh dear. The team spirit is deaf fitly there. -- definitely there. | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
That is what the old Wimbledon was built on. If we can get that half | :57:12. | :57:18. | |
right, we will behalf way there. You will be tingling when you walk- | :57:18. | :57:24. | |
out against Bristol Rovers. It will be an awesome day. It is big enough | :57:24. | :57:30. | |
walking out in my first Football League day and with the media | :57:30. | :57:37. | |
attention it will be a hell of a day really, yeah. | :57:37. | :57:44. | |
The Dons walked out in white. But a new look Bristol Rovers side | :57:44. | :57:47. | |
arrived determined to spoil the arrived determined to spoil the | :57:47. | :57:53. | |
party. The perfect start for the new boss, | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
Paul Buckle whose starting line-up included ten new faces. These two | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
were separated by two divisions last season and three minutes later | :58:01. | :58:07. | |
they were separated by two goals. McLeish showing another side to his | :58:07. | :58:14. | |
game. Seb Brown denied him a second. The former Leyton Orient striker | :58:14. | :58:24. | |
:58:24. | :58:26. | ||
kept his composure. Plenty of the Dons boss to consider. | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
The newcomers came out for the second half with a point to prove. | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
The crazy gang days may have been consigned to history, but it seems | :58:32. | :58:40. | |
some habits are harder to break. Route one, the favoured option, was | :58:40. | :58:45. | |
they pushed for an equaliser. Hopes of a fairytale ending disappeared | :58:45. | :58:51. | |
with five minutes left on the clock. The referee singling out Johnson | :58:51. | :58:56. | |
for handball. Hard to tell at first first glance, but after a second | :58:56. | :59:04. | |
viewing, proof the decision was a right one. Virgo slammed home to | :59:04. | :59:12. | |
It was a fantastic game. We are delighted to win it. Wimbledon | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
might feel aggrieved they didn't take a point. On chances created | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
and the tempo, we deserved to win it and it was a wonderful day. | :59:20. | :59:27. | |
A draw would have been great, but I don't think we deserved it. They | :59:27. | :59:32. | |
they deserved to win. We didn't create enough chances. We looked | :59:32. | :59:37. | |
susceptible, we committed suicide on all three goals and I'm going to | :59:37. | :59:47. | |
:59:47. | :59:47. | ||
have nightmares watching them An emotional day for all concerned. | :59:48. | :59:54. | |
Here is what happened elsewhere in League 2. Crawley Town went to Port | :59:54. | :00:04. | |
:00:04. | :00:07. | ||
Conference last season, Crawley Town have already been installed as | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
:00:17. | :00:17. | ||
one of the favourites for promotion. One of their new signings, Tyrone | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
Barnet, opened the scoring. Port Vale responded quickly. Richards | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
equalised. But the leak to a new boys were not to be put off their | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:49. | ||
task. -- League 2. McFadzean put them ahead. Defender Jon Dunster | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
woke findings of a little unfortunate to be facing a ban. -- | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
Jon Dunster. 14 minutes remain, could the new boys hang on for a | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
famous victory? With time ticking down, they threw everything at | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
:01:17. | :01:17. | ||
probably 10. They made the extra man pay. Dogs and Port Vale a share | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
of the spoils. -- Dodds. We have played some super football. People | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
say we are grisly, too. It is important that we played with | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
quality. We try to pass it. After two successive relegations and | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
beset by financial problems, just starting the season is an | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
achievement for a Plymouth. They fell behind at Shrewsbury through | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
Collins. Peter Reid's Rockies have an average age of 23. Even with | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
:02:04. | :02:08. | ||
Carl Fletcher in the side. He measure at the County Ground to | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
with this Paolo Di Canio pick his first steps into football | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
management. -- Witless. It took Swindon until the stroke of half- | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :02:32. | ||
time do break the deadlock. Kennedy scored from the penalty spot. Known | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
for his theatrics and clowning around as a player, Di Canio has | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
warned his team not to try anything similar. It appears he has allowed | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
certain exceptions. Risser made a two with a volley to Canio himself | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
would have been proud of. The victory was rounded off by Aidan | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:17. | ||
But now you put yourself in trouble. Everybody will wait for you. If we | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
have good enough to handle that situation we will have a business | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
in that the future. All the action in this one came in the second half. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Dagenham & Redbridge opened the scoring. Elito nipped-in on the | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
:03:42. | :03:44. | ||
line. Macclesfield went close themselves. A long ball downfield | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
should have been easy to deal with for Dagenham. After Miss | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
communication, Lewington was adjudged to have handled and was | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
then sent off. They hung on to were opened the new campaign with a win. | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
:04:12. | :04:12. | ||
Accrington Stanley are looking for an improvement on the road this | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
season. This free kick was there highlight. Having flirted with | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
relegation last season, Northampton boss Gary Johnson is under more | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
pressure to improve matters. Robinson went closest. Northampton | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
:04:42. | :04:43. | ||
have now managed two wins in 21 league games. You can always rely | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
on at the English Riviera to provide some opening day sunshine. | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
Burton took a second half lead. The striker was soon celebrating his | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
second. Park's what the goalkeeper in trouble and Richards did the | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
rest. He is good with his feet, to it is now down to Martin Ling to | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
pick up the pieces after last season's play-off defeat. Howe | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
provided the start for a fight back. The Devon club stretched their | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
unbeaten run of first-day fixtures to 10 with nine minutes remaining, | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Mansell scoring the equaliser. Burton boss Paul Peschisolido | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
admitted a draw left a bitter taste in his mouth. Probably not helped | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:57. | ||
day of last season when they shared the points. Gillingham went one | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
:06:07. | :06:09. | ||
better this time. Lewis Montrose took a 22nd month lit. The home | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
:06:19. | :06:27. | ||
nearly doubled their advantage as eight minutes from time when Rooney | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
was dismissed for a rash challenge. The referee had no hesitation in | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
showing him a red card. The sending off had little impact on the game. | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
Gillingham and ran out comfortable winners. There were plenty of new | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
faces on show at the Don Valley Stadium. Some enjoyed better | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
fortunes than others. Michael Juba re failed to find the net. -- | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Michael Duberry. Grabban was one of five Rotherham players handout at | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:17. | ||
debut. His spectacular effort made it am very start. -- a good start. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
It might have been better for the new boy. 9th last year, automatic | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
:07:34. | :07:38. | ||
promotion is the aim at this time Hereford, hoping to avoid a 10th | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
consecutive defeat against Southend. It was a much tighter affair this | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
:07:54. | :07:57. | ||
time. A well-worked move saw Bilel score first Southend. Paul | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Sturrock's men ramped up the pressure in the second half. Harris | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
almost got that bit you goal. The veteran striker was kept off the | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
scoresheet. He was left even further frustrated when Bartlett | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
:08:21. | :08:24. | ||
saved at his feet. Still a winning Bradford permanently after | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
returning to the club on an interim basis in February. He will have | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
plenty to think about. Aldershot lost just one of their last nine to | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
:08:45. | :08:45. | ||
finish the season. They took the lead when Danny Hylton scored. It | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
was right when there was a constant threat in the Bradford team. He was | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
instrumental in the second for Aldershot. At Threlfall own goal. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
That kind of defending will give Jackson real cause for concern. His | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
team were better in the second half. They managed a late consolation. | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
:09:17. | :09:24. | ||
making headlines, original Crazy Gang member Lawrie Sanchez was | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
pulling off a minor miracle. Barnett claimed an opening-day win | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
at more come. They rode their luck. Barnett finished stronger of the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
two pins. Only a fine save prevented Marshall from giving them | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
the lead. Their first opening-day win was confirmed by Mark Byrne. | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
And the will mack contender for goal of the month. -- and early | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
Lawrie Sanchez will be delighted by that Whing. They will have to defy | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
the odds this season? The first priority will be to stay in the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
League and then build on what they have got. I do not think they will | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
settle for staying in the league. Their ambitions will be higher. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
for the favourites to get out of the division, it is not often you | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
see teams from the Conference labelled as favourites. Crawley | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
Town were denied that opening day when at the death by Port Vale. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
They had a lot of scalps last year, Torquay. No reason why they cannot | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
more than cope at this level. It is a difficult place to go. It is a | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
good result. Crawley up there with the bookies alongside Swindon Town. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
12 players in at the county town. - - County Ground. It could be | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
interesting times? It could. There are quite a few football the clubs | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
who have brought in a lot of players so far.'s football League | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:20. | ||
clubs. A lot of them have had good results today. Can there go up at | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
the first attempt? It is very early. People have got to bed down. On | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
that performance alone they will expect to be there just might there | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
about. Another League season is only 90 minutes old. But here are | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :12:16. | ||
weekend. None of the newly promoted teams from League 2 could manage | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
went. Three were held to a draw. In the Championship, Ipswich are top. | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
A great start for Southampton, Brighton and Peterborough. It was | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
not the start Bristol City and Leeds United wanted. West Ham | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
United play Cardiff on Sunday. You can watch the show back a variety | :12:41. | :12:50. | |
