0:00:23 > 0:00:27Good evening and welcome to Park two of our double bill over Easter.

0:00:32 > 0:00:37of manager with Crawley waiting to see how their promotion campaign
0:00:37 > 0:00:43will unfold after Steve Evans' decision to join Rotherham. Our
0:00:43 > 0:00:47steed is still with us and here is a glimpse of what is coming up: We
0:00:47 > 0:00:54threading not in Acton, West Ham are looking to close the gap at the
0:00:54 > 0:00:58top. The Hammers were up against a team in form, Birmingham. At the
0:00:58 > 0:01:03other end the games do not come much bigger than Bristol City and
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Coventry. With all the action from a tense affair at a rain-soaked
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Ashton Gate. Days surprised everybody when they emerged from
0:01:13 > 0:01:17the pack to take their place in the Premier League two years ago it.
0:01:18 > 0:01:25Can Blackpool do it again? We are with Ollie and the boys for a
0:01:25 > 0:01:30seaside rendezvous. Will we see our first relegation of the season?
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Chesterfield and Exeter are hanging by a thread in League One.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We start with matters at the top of the Championship and if the games
0:01:39 > 0:01:49on Friday and Saturday were anything to go by, we could be in
0:01:49 > 0:01:51
0:01:51 > 0:01:57Reading are not in action until tomorrow and West Ham face the team
0:01:57 > 0:02:03just below them in 4th place, Birmingham. We begin with
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Southampton and Crystal Palace. The dramatic derby draw with Portsmouth
0:02:08 > 0:02:13had done nothing to dent Southampton's enthusiasm. One point
0:02:13 > 0:02:18from their last six was far below this season's expectations and knew
0:02:18 > 0:02:28it was time to get back into the winning habit. Crystal Palace has
0:02:28 > 0:02:37
0:02:37 > 0:02:44lost three of their last four, but the offside flag had been raised.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50This was almost a fantastic story to tell. Instead, as usual, it was
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Rickie Lambert who made the headlines, no flag this time. His
0:02:53 > 0:02:5825th league goal of the season arrived six minutes before the
0:02:58 > 0:03:03break. If Chris Martin could have been as deadly, Palace would have
0:03:03 > 0:03:11gone to the dressing room level. And within 10 minutes of the
0:03:11 > 0:03:18restart Lambert showed him how it should be done. They established an
0:03:18 > 0:03:26unassailable lead. That recurring theme, that shipped to the far post,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30continued to baffle Palace. It was Jose Fonte on the end of the cross.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Saints have set themselves up nicely for a crunch match with
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Reading on Friday. We stay in the here and there now still, there is
0:03:40 > 0:03:45a long way to go, four gains. We have been in the top two for the
0:03:45 > 0:03:50whole season and our endeavour is to stay there. We have led the
0:03:50 > 0:03:54division for a long period of time, but we know other teams will do
0:03:54 > 0:04:04their best to stop us doing it. We will stay focused on what we have
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Bunch of players. Southampton are seven points clear. How would the
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Hammers respond to the challenge? They take on inform Birmingham City
0:04:15 > 0:04:25with West Ham in pursuit of their first home win since February. Sam

0:05:28 > 0:05:36box. The referees says, not this good save for West Ham. For me
0:05:36 > 0:05:46Chris Burke is a good half a yard or so beyond the last defender.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50
0:05:50 > 0:06:00That was a great header, and a centre back. He has scored five
0:06:00 > 0:06:06
0:06:06 > 0:06:16headers this season, and you can Robert Green standing and leaves
0:06:16 > 0:06:28
0:06:28 > 0:06:34More home loans on the West Ham horizon perhaps. You wonder how
0:06:34 > 0:06:44they are a goal down given to possession so far. That is Marlon
0:06:44 > 0:06:46
0:06:46 > 0:06:55King for Birmingham. West Ham in disarray once again. Head-shaking,
0:06:55 > 0:07:01head-scratching. West Ham's see promotion and the top two position
0:07:01 > 0:07:11dropping ever more so out of their grasp. West Ham are seeing their
0:07:11 > 0:07:26
0:07:26 > 0:07:34promotion hopes ripped to shreds in staying in the end. West Ham close
0:07:34 > 0:07:40to a lifeline and a way back in. Robert Green hit that as long as he
0:07:40 > 0:07:50could to Ricardo Vaz Te. That is going to be a corner. West Ham are

0:07:50 > 0:08:47Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
0:08:47 > 0:08:57hopeful of getting one back before bouncing bomb from Chris Burke.
0:08:57 > 0:09:09
0:09:09 > 0:09:19before half-time. It never rains, Sam. The natives here are not at
0:09:19 > 0:09:48
0:09:48 > 0:09:58Lansbury was the man he was pushed furious, West Ham. They are livid.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59
0:09:59 > 0:10:06But play goes on for Birmingham. Gary Caldwell holding on and
0:10:06 > 0:10:11pulling back on the arm. Then he wins the ball. Before that did he
0:10:11 > 0:10:21pull back and fell Carlton Cole. The challenge is fair afterwards,
0:10:21 > 0:10:39
0:10:39 > 0:10:43but before I did he pull him back? the grandstand finale. Carlton Cole
0:10:43 > 0:10:53with 20 minutes left to play has got West Ham back to within one
0:10:53 > 0:11:07
0:11:07 > 0:11:17extremely close. Really good stuff at Upton Park. The NPower
0:11:17 > 0:11:47
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Championship has come up trumps Penalty. The ball was sent in at a
0:11:51 > 0:12:01rate of knots. That is harsh because there was so much pace on
0:12:01 > 0:12:06
0:12:06 > 0:12:16that. Ricardo Vaz Te. Three apiece. West Ham hopeful, optimistic, it
0:12:16 > 0:12:49
0:12:49 > 0:12:59Ed. Exam's team have given their all. -- Big Sam's team have given
0:12:59 > 0:13:04their all. It was a disappointing first half in terms of playing into
0:13:04 > 0:13:10the opposition's can. It has cost us dear today. Had we gone in even
0:13:10 > 0:13:14which does slip ups at 2-1 and not gifted them another goal, and let
0:13:14 > 0:13:19them go to the other end and get a corner, we probably would have won
0:13:19 > 0:13:24this game in the second half performance. The amount of long
0:13:24 > 0:13:28balls and diagonal balls that came in became relentless. For the large
0:13:29 > 0:13:38majority of the game we dealt with it, but it is hard to deal with it
0:13:39 > 0:13:39
0:13:39 > 0:13:44An incredible game at Upton Park. Birmingham shocked West Ham into an
0:13:44 > 0:13:49amazing comeback. Ultimately it was just for point which does West Ham
0:13:49 > 0:13:55no good at this stage. Magnificent game. We could have filled the
0:13:55 > 0:14:01whole programme. A point is not a lot of good to either side. We know
0:14:01 > 0:14:06they are both in the play-offs. If West Ham had won that, they might
0:14:06 > 0:14:13have snuck into the automatic places. I keep watching West Ham, I
0:14:13 > 0:14:16keep seeing them starting games well. But when they haven't all in
0:14:16 > 0:14:20the game, they concede. It makes the game, they concede. It makes
0:14:20 > 0:14:25life difficult. Allardyce saying they need to make it count. Let's
0:14:25 > 0:14:33look at the contentious issue which brought West Ham level. Was the
0:14:33 > 0:14:40referee right? Yes. The arms are raised. Raised in an unnatural way.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45He was turning away with his arms coming up. You are not balancing
0:14:45 > 0:14:51yourself by doing that. It stopped the ball. No option but to give a
0:14:51 > 0:15:01penalty. West Ham will see it as two points dropped. Let's take a
0:15:01 > 0:15:01
0:15:01 > 0:15:07look at the run in. How do you see it panning out? Southampton, I
0:15:07 > 0:15:11imagine, are pretty much there. After that,, the game against
0:15:11 > 0:15:19Reading will be big, but you are looking at West Ham to catch
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Reading. Reading have won 13 out of the last 15. At this stage of the
0:15:22 > 0:15:28season, generally the teams informed do what they have to do
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and get the job done. West Ham are relying on somebody else. Make up
0:15:33 > 0:15:40your own mind. I know which dressing room I would rather be in.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Hammers and the play-offs? You're asking for something extra. Reading
0:15:45 > 0:15:49doped look likely to drop any points. Let's get to the bottom of
0:15:49 > 0:15:55the Championship. Everything to play for. This is how things looked
0:15:55 > 0:15:58before kick-off. Eight teams looking to avoid relegation. Four
0:15:58 > 0:16:08of them faced each other today. Forest were at Peterborough and
0:16:08 > 0:16:15
0:16:15 > 0:16:18there was a crucial game between victory for either Bristol City of
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Coventry at a sold-out Ashton Gate would be significant in the quest
0:16:24 > 0:16:29for survival. The defeated would go into the final four games in the
0:16:29 > 0:16:33relegation places. It could be a pivotal afternoon. Bristol City
0:16:33 > 0:16:41might have won at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but two games in less
0:16:41 > 0:16:47than 48 hours has led to changes. Kerry has dropped out, with wood.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Stephen Pearson has recovered from a chest infection. Two changes to
0:16:52 > 0:16:59the Coventry side that drew with Peterborough. Clive Black passed a
0:16:59 > 0:17:09fitness test. -- Clive Platt. Keegan comes into the mid- field. -

0:17:22 > 0:17:27target. He didn't quite get his bootlaces through it. A first sight
0:17:27 > 0:17:33of goal for Bristol City. Her first sight of goal for the returning
0:17:33 > 0:17:43Brett Pitman. Really neat work by Foster to create the opportunity.
0:17:43 > 0:17:54
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Just needed to put his boot through Murphy. The first time he has been
0:17:59 > 0:18:09really tested in the Coventry goal and he was equal to it. -- been
0:18:09 > 0:18:40
0:18:40 > 0:18:46perhaps feels as though he could be a priceless goal. He has
0:18:46 > 0:18:53just thrown himself at it. A really dangerous ball in and it is John
0:18:53 > 0:19:03Stead who gets his head on it. He diverted it beyond the goalkeeper
0:19:03 > 0:19:15
0:19:15 > 0:19:25and what a moment that could be for make amends. -- John Stead. Bristol
0:19:25 > 0:19:31
0:19:31 > 0:19:41City have an early corner. Within anybody in the second half, John
0:19:41 > 0:19:42
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Stead. It is in! They have equalised. John Stead. He scored at
0:19:46 > 0:19:55one end just before the break and he has equalised just after half-
0:19:55 > 0:20:00time. Within 90 seconds of the restart, they are level. It was not
0:20:00 > 0:20:07dealt with and John Stead was on the line. He threw his right foot
0:20:07 > 0:20:13at it. He diverted it into the back of the net. It is a big moment for
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Bristol City, but it is a moment of immense relief for John Stead. His
0:20:18 > 0:20:28fourth goal of the season cancels out the own goal he scored in the
0:20:28 > 0:20:53
0:20:53 > 0:20:58first half. Another change for introduction and what a moment for
0:20:58 > 0:21:03him to perhaps call the goal to put daylight between Bristol City and
0:21:03 > 0:21:09the relegation places. He had been on for a matter of seconds and he
0:21:09 > 0:21:19has given Bristol City the lead. It is his first goal for Bristol City.
0:21:19 > 0:21:19
0:21:19 > 0:21:27How precious might it be? Courtesy of a deflection, it found its way
0:21:27 > 0:21:33over the goal line. Into the back of the net. It could be a massive
0:21:33 > 0:21:43goal for Bristol City in their quest to extend their stay in the
0:21:43 > 0:21:43
0:21:43 > 0:22:24Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
0:22:24 > 0:22:34much time as possible by the corner is red. It looked it the minute
0:22:34 > 0:22:34
0:22:34 > 0:22:37that he went diving in. Pitman has had a monstrous afternoon, busying
0:22:37 > 0:22:47himself, but a moment of recklessness means Bristol City
0:22:47 > 0:22:59
0:22:59 > 0:23:07keeper. He did not get a full contact on it and the keeper of
0:23:07 > 0:23:17gleefully falls on it. Platt threw himself at it. That is what it is
0:23:17 > 0:23:28
0:23:28 > 0:23:38towards goal again. But what a job he has done to win his team a
0:23:38 > 0:23:43
0:23:43 > 0:23:48corner kick. They have come from behind. Would! That is the moment
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Bristol City will win the game and Bristol City will open up a four
0:23:53 > 0:23:58point gap between them and the bottom three. Nothing is decided
0:23:58 > 0:24:04today, but this could be a huge result in their quest to play
0:24:04 > 0:24:12Championship football next season. Coventry just couldn't deal with it,
0:24:12 > 0:24:17could they? When the ball fell to him, he slammed the ball into the
0:24:17 > 0:24:22back of the net. The match winner on Saturday and Nottingham Forest,
0:24:22 > 0:24:29the clinching goal this afternoon the clinching goal this afternoon
0:24:29 > 0:24:33at Ashton Gate. Today showed the club in a really good night. The
0:24:33 > 0:24:36support filled the place out, got behind the team. We did it the hard
0:24:36 > 0:24:42way with 10 men but we have shown enough quality to get the job done
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and we deserved it. When the end goal goes in, you think it will be
0:24:45 > 0:24:55one of those days. But I kept working hard and I got my chance
0:24:55 > 0:25:00with a scrappy goal. First half we were OK. But I felt we were dead on
0:25:00 > 0:25:10our feet in the second half. Games caught up with us. Couldn't really
0:25:10 > 0:25:13
0:25:13 > 0:25:18freshen things up. Probably caught Doncaster. A 4-0 drubbing at
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Leicester on Saturday had left them eight points adrift at the bottom.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Anything but the win at home to Burnley and Rovers could all but
0:25:25 > 0:25:28kiss goodbye to their second level status. Dean Saunders made nine
0:25:28 > 0:25:38enforced changes to a side ravaged by injuries but there was nothing
0:25:38 > 0:25:39
0:25:39 > 0:25:46anybody could have done to prevent Burnley leading at half-time. Chris
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Brown must have the strength to draw Rovers level. But with a
0:25:52 > 0:25:57quarter of an hour to go, the home side shot themselves in the foot. A
0:25:57 > 0:26:01clumsy and a legal challenge and it was a penalty. -- illegal. The
0:26:01 > 0:26:05opportunity was duly taken by Charlie Austen and what little hope
0:26:05 > 0:26:09of survival remained at the key note, was pouring out of the Exits
0:26:09 > 0:26:16with the home fans. George Friend could have salvaged a point at the
0:26:16 > 0:26:20death. Doncaster not mathematically relegated just yet, but the South
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Yorkshire club's stake in the Championship looks all but ladle --
0:26:25 > 0:26:29over. They made a lot of changes to their team today. We knew it would
0:26:30 > 0:26:35be a tough game. I thought we were excellent and I was really, really
0:26:35 > 0:26:38pleased with the performance. I thought we should have won by more.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44I was playing at Bradford when we beat Liverpool in the last game of
0:26:45 > 0:26:48the season. Wimbledon lost the last 10 games of the season, I think.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53They ended up getting relegated and we stayed up. Stranger things have
0:26:53 > 0:26:58happened. But I knew it was a tough job when we took over. We had only
0:26:58 > 0:27:04got one point from seven games and hadn't won for 20 games and we were
0:27:04 > 0:27:09favourites to get relegated anyway. But I have come in to try to keep
0:27:09 > 0:27:13the club in the league. Saturday's defeat at Bristol City left
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Nottingham Forest sitting far from comfortably, just four points above
0:27:17 > 0:27:21the relegation zone so their nerve would be tested against a
0:27:21 > 0:27:26relatively relaxed Bidborough team. Forest were firing on all cylinders
0:27:26 > 0:27:30from the off, especially Lewis McGugan. Posh fortunate to escape
0:27:30 > 0:27:34that time, but their luck ran out seven minutes before the break.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Garath McCleary's impressive turn of pace and Dexter Blackstock's
0:27:39 > 0:27:43predict treat instincts had Forest in front. It would not be a cruise
0:27:43 > 0:27:47to the finish, though. 12 minutes from the end, McCleary's
0:27:47 > 0:27:51contribution was a lot less helpful. A lunge at Grant McCann which the
0:27:51 > 0:27:56referee punished with a straight red card. Forest still landed
0:27:57 > 0:28:03maximum points to look considerably safer. We think we could have been
0:28:03 > 0:28:063-0 up in the first 20 minutes. We didn't take our chances and we may
0:28:06 > 0:28:12be going tougher. To keep a clean sheet at Peterborough is no mean
0:28:12 > 0:28:15feat. It was again too far for us. The boys had nothing in the tank. I
0:28:15 > 0:28:20thought Forest were excellent, they played really well. The writing is
0:28:20 > 0:28:24on the wall as far as Doncaster are concerned. 11 points adrift. Also
0:28:24 > 0:28:30at the bottom, a significant win for Bristol City over Coventry.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36Very much so. It was a difficult game. I thought they just about her
0:28:36 > 0:28:39and that victory. It was a hard fought victory. Coventry have been
0:28:39 > 0:28:49on a decent run, they did not play as well as we thought they might
0:28:49 > 0:28:50
0:28:50 > 0:28:55have. But they gave it everything, The major blemish was the sending
0:28:55 > 0:29:03off of pit man. You are going to be without a striker for a three over
0:29:04 > 0:29:10those last four gains. There is no doubt they have got back up. You
0:29:10 > 0:29:14are leaving yourself with so little room for manoeuvre. He continues to
0:29:14 > 0:29:20go for the ball. That is such a dangerous challenge. He has got to
0:29:20 > 0:29:24go. When he looks back at that he will think, I have not got much of
0:29:24 > 0:29:29a leg to stand on regarding that decision because it was an off a
0:29:29 > 0:29:34challenge. There is a new-found resolve about Nottingham Forest.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39They held out against Peterborough with ten men in the latter stages,
0:29:39 > 0:29:45but they won it with a quality goal from Dexter Blackstock. It is a
0:29:45 > 0:29:51decent move, to be fair. I liked the way that as the ball comes in
0:29:51 > 0:29:54he makes himself a yard and he knows whether the offender is. As
0:29:55 > 0:29:59the defender comes to mark him, he takes it away from the defender.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05You still have to know where you are with regards to the goal. He
0:30:05 > 0:30:11does not smash it, he places it past the keeper, fantastic. Have
0:30:11 > 0:30:17they done enough? Yes, undoubtedly. One team who will wear secure a
0:30:17 > 0:30:21while ago, but who are now getting twitchy are Barnsley. They had a
0:30:21 > 0:30:25nightmare run of eight defeats in 10. Earlier today they featured
0:30:25 > 0:30:31Blackpool who are looking to be a good bet to feature in the play-
0:30:31 > 0:30:38offs. Clem it went to the seaside to see how Ian Holloway's team will
0:30:38 > 0:30:43fare in the challenge. Come on, Blackpool. Blackpool left it late
0:30:43 > 0:30:48to take the final play-off place two years ago before securing a
0:30:49 > 0:30:53memorable campaign in the Premier League that ended in relegation
0:30:53 > 0:30:58against champions Manchester United on the final day of last season.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02This time around they have started their assault on the top flight and
0:31:02 > 0:31:10despite wholesale personnel charges and the departures of several key
0:31:10 > 0:31:13names, and a manager who took time to privatise again. I think you are
0:31:13 > 0:31:19over your hangover and I think the relegation thing was under your
0:31:19 > 0:31:24skin, but you seem to be back to yourself. Yes, it is bound to
0:31:24 > 0:31:30affect you, it affected everybody at the club. It was such an
0:31:30 > 0:31:36exciting season and the lads played so well for so many seasons. That
0:31:36 > 0:31:4039 tally would have kept us up. But such is life and I am very pleased
0:31:41 > 0:31:48with the lads. They have stepped in and there is a whole new group and
0:31:48 > 0:31:54I am pleased with them. Nice to see you. Are you OK? Good, thanks.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00do things compared to two years ago? We were unfortunate that 39
0:32:00 > 0:32:04took us down and you would probably stay up with about 35. We have not
0:32:04 > 0:32:08sulks about it and we have a fighting chance to get back-up.
0:32:08 > 0:32:16boys have got a bit between their teeth and they realise how serious
0:32:16 > 0:32:20this is and we cannot afford any mishaps. We have had one or two. We
0:32:20 > 0:32:25know the focus you have to get. It suits me to be here because the
0:32:25 > 0:32:30club is exactly like that. No matter what we have got, it does
0:32:30 > 0:32:37not seem to change. The very chair you are sitting on came out of a
0:32:37 > 0:32:47skip. We got loads of money, but that was an NHS chair and week I
0:32:47 > 0:33:03
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I tell you what, this could be an unbelievable thing. You were on
0:33:06 > 0:33:13loan from us when seat and you did it with Swansea last year and are
0:33:13 > 0:33:17you are back yet again. I am here to help the gaffer and the boys
0:33:17 > 0:33:23achieve what they want to do this year and if I can carry on in the
0:33:23 > 0:33:28form I am in just now, hopefully it will be enough. Everybody's dream
0:33:28 > 0:33:33is to play in the top flight and be good enough. Whenever I start
0:33:33 > 0:33:38something, I want to finish it. We have got five games left and it is
0:33:38 > 0:33:44in our hands at the moment. It is pretty tough. It is the best
0:33:44 > 0:33:50journey I have ever been on. Things did not go to plan for the home
0:33:50 > 0:33:54side. Keith Southern's reckless challenge was deemed worthy of a
0:33:55 > 0:34:04red card. Blackpool were down to 10th after just 20 minutes with Ian
0:34:05 > 0:34:09
0:34:09 > 0:34:14Holloway condensed Foster was the goal. Barnsley have lost their last
0:34:14 > 0:34:24seven on their travels, but finally found their way through Blackpool's
0:34:24 > 0:34:25
0:34:25 > 0:34:28last ten men. Stephen Dobie had scored four goals in three games
0:34:28 > 0:34:38since being on loan from Swansea and almost made it five as they
0:34:38 > 0:34:40
0:34:40 > 0:34:43continue to threaten. He could not quite take advantage. If there was
0:34:43 > 0:34:53one man Blackpool wanted their best chance to fall to it would have
0:34:53 > 0:35:18
0:35:18 > 0:35:25You were rotten! Thanks a lot. You were wrong. You are clearly unhappy
0:35:25 > 0:35:30with the sending off. Yes, I felt it was a good, old fashioned, full-
0:35:30 > 0:35:36blooded tackle by my fellow and he did not jump and put two feet into
0:35:36 > 0:35:41it, whereas their fellow did. I am totally confused. The referee is
0:35:41 > 0:35:48talking about the laws of the game and angles and his ankle definitely
0:35:48 > 0:35:53saw my player commits a reckless challenge. I am glad I am not
0:35:53 > 0:35:56playing any more, I would have been off every week. Ian Holloway is
0:35:56 > 0:36:06furious, and there might be a difference of opinion. Let's have
0:36:06 > 0:36:11
0:36:11 > 0:36:21a little bit short. He definitely wins the ball. Keith Southern comes
0:36:21 > 0:36:22
0:36:22 > 0:36:26through it and the stunts are up That is the correct decision.
0:36:26 > 0:36:34Stephen Foster has gone in as if he is making that two-footed challenge,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37but he finishes off short and Keith Southern comes in late. Foster does.
0:36:37 > 0:36:45The challenge is high and it is late and I cannot see how you can
0:36:45 > 0:36:50argue with that. He is a good player. He does all the nasty stuff
0:36:50 > 0:36:54and breaks things up and is a good player. For Barnsley it is much
0:36:54 > 0:36:58better after what they dished up against West Ham the last time
0:36:58 > 0:37:08around. We start with the team Blackpool beat in the play-off
0:37:08 > 0:37:11
0:37:11 > 0:37:15final two years ago, Cardiff. They Wales with a record which suggested
0:37:15 > 0:37:19they could do some serious damage to the Bluebirds. They have won
0:37:19 > 0:37:23five of the last seven before Friday's defeat at Blackpool and
0:37:23 > 0:37:30was starting to wonder about sneaking into the top six
0:37:30 > 0:37:33themselves, but Ben Turner showed this could be a tricky assignment.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38The Cardiff midfielder's first start for two months ended with a
0:37:38 > 0:37:43suspected broken ankle. It might have been a downbeat half-time
0:37:43 > 0:37:53dressing room, but spirits were lifted to us before the whistle.
0:37:53 > 0:37:53
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Kenny Miller borrowed Don Cowie's cross. They knew they might needed
0:37:58 > 0:38:03a second and Miller could have hardly gone closer. Now, Watford
0:38:03 > 0:38:08rallied, showing off their own aerial power. David Marshall had to
0:38:08 > 0:38:17be on his toes to keep out Martin Taylor. Tomasz Kuszczak was equally
0:38:18 > 0:38:24agile. The value of that saved was apparent with eight minutes to go,
0:38:24 > 0:38:29with a rare goal from a Nyron Nosworthy. We need to try and win
0:38:29 > 0:38:33every game. To be on the safe side you have to do that. There are a
0:38:33 > 0:38:41few teams there or thereabouts and everybody is cutting each other's
0:38:41 > 0:38:45throat. It is probably a bit too much for us at the moment to get
0:38:45 > 0:38:55into the play Alps. But you have seen they are ready to keep going
0:38:55 > 0:38:59and keep playing. No wins in seven had seen medals per slip out of the
0:38:59 > 0:39:04Championship plate of spots. They made a short trip to Hull who
0:39:04 > 0:39:11themselves have lost touch with the top six. It was the visitors who
0:39:11 > 0:39:19got off to the perfect start. The offside trap was all out of kilter.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24It was his 30th League goal of the season. Vauxhall Ampera manager
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Nick Barmby had demanded a brave performance. Joshua King took
0:39:29 > 0:39:36responsibility to drag them back into the game. It was their first
0:39:36 > 0:39:43goal in over four-and-a-half hours of football. Matthew fry it kept
0:39:43 > 0:39:48his cool two minutes from time. The Tigers could have added a
0:39:48 > 0:39:56flattering sheen to their first win in seven games after King did once
0:39:56 > 0:40:02again everything right, only for Khoury Evans to get it all wrong.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06It was on the break and it rocked us, but I got them in at half-time
0:40:06 > 0:40:11and said, keep the way you are playing and keep the commitment and
0:40:11 > 0:40:17I thought we deserved to win the game. I could not see them scoring
0:40:17 > 0:40:21and we gifted them the goal and it was a poor goal to concede. It gave
0:40:21 > 0:40:28them a bit of belief on the pitch and the terraces. They got their
0:40:28 > 0:40:35reward quite late on. Barring an unlikely turn up events, probably
0:40:35 > 0:40:43just pride for both these clubs to play for at Elland Road. The Rams'
0:40:43 > 0:40:47recent record against Leeds was remarkable, six successive wins.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Their prospects of a seven success increased dramatically, LEAs were
0:40:52 > 0:41:00reduced to ten men for the third match running, with more than an
0:41:00 > 0:41:05hour to play. Craig Bryson made the most of the extra space. A stunning
0:41:05 > 0:41:13finish for his 6th goal of the skis and. These are dismal days for
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Leeds. Geoff Hendrick was blocked out, but not Steven Davis. Derby
0:41:18 > 0:41:23making a strong finish to the season, but Nigel Clough concedes
0:41:23 > 0:41:28it has probably come too late for a play-off place, while Leeds cannot
0:41:28 > 0:41:33wait for it all to end. Neil Warnock is still waiting for his
0:41:33 > 0:41:36first home win and is promising lots of changes in the summer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:46Brian Clough says he will be working hard to keep his team
0:41:46 > 0:41:48
0:41:48 > 0:41:58together. Leicester travel to Portman Road for her an encounter
0:41:58 > 0:42:04between two surprising low achievers of the season. Grant's
0:42:04 > 0:42:13Leadbitter forced a save from Casper us Michael. -- Kasper
0:42:13 > 0:42:20Schmeichel. That was a terrific turn and finish. Leicester's
0:42:20 > 0:42:26response was immediate. Ben Marshall's free kick seemed to
0:42:26 > 0:42:35deceive everybody in the global stock Lee Barrett redeemed himself
0:42:35 > 0:42:39in the second half. Nothing fortunate about that superb save.
0:42:39 > 0:42:48By this stage another Leicester goal seemed to have more than
0:42:48 > 0:42:55likely. It came through David Nugent. It was his 9th against the
0:42:55 > 0:43:00Tractor Boys. Jermaine Beckford could have made it 3 later on. It
0:43:00 > 0:43:05was a very happy Easter for Nigel Pearson. They are all very
0:43:05 > 0:43:09important games for us at the moment, but we are hanging in there.
0:43:09 > 0:43:18We have given ourselves and of poor lot to do, but six points over the
0:43:18 > 0:43:24Do us any harm. So it was a painful reunion for Malky Mackay against
0:43:25 > 0:43:34his old club Watford. Five draws out of six. Their grip on that 6th
0:43:35 > 0:43:36
0:43:36 > 0:43:42place is not as good as it should be. It is one win in seven. If they
0:43:42 > 0:43:46manage to hold on to that, they are four points clear of seven spots
0:43:46 > 0:43:52and they have a bit of breathing space. Now it is all closed up and
0:43:52 > 0:43:56it is very tight again. It brings in clubs like Leicester and Hull.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00For Leicester back-to-back wins have been hard to come by this
0:44:00 > 0:44:10season, but suddenly the fans think it is possible with four to play.
0:44:10 > 0:44:10
0:44:10 > 0:44:15They are just teasing their fans! I have got to say that two back-to-
0:44:16 > 0:44:19back wins all season, and then they somehow have a real opportunity.
0:44:19 > 0:44:29Consistency. That is what we are talking about. Haven't seen it all
0:44:29 > 0:44:34seen the manager quite content and smart. So something must have
0:44:34 > 0:44:40happened today that is appealing. Nick Barmby is smiling as well,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44because he has had a torrid run. Five defeats on the bounce, just
0:44:44 > 0:44:48one of those would have put them back into it. Whether they have
0:44:48 > 0:44:56left themselves too much to do, I don't know, but they will probably
0:44:56 > 0:45:00The tug-of-war over second place in League One carried on between the
0:45:00 > 0:45:10two Sheffield clubs. Wednesday knew they would go second with a win
0:45:10 > 0:45:10
0:45:10 > 0:45:50Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
0:45:50 > 0:46:00giving all done the lead. -- old goals this season for Jermaine
0:46:00 > 0:46:08

0:46:18 > 0:46:35
0:46:35 > 0:46:45would have backed him to score from down. Was that a penalty? The

0:46:45 > 0:47:27Apology for the loss of subtitles for 63 seconds
0:47:27 > 0:47:32mightily close. A look at the Gary Madine! His 18th of the season
0:47:32 > 0:47:42breaks the deadlock. But the defending was awful. It was a good
0:47:42 > 0:47:42
0:47:42 > 0:47:52ball in. But how on earth was Llera allowed to go on as he did? Just
0:47:52 > 0:48:01
0:48:01 > 0:48:04days for the Spaniard. He got his first goal in over a year at the
0:48:04 > 0:48:14weekend, and her sister and a goal in this one. But where was the

0:48:39 > 0:48:45the high tempo, the amount of work they put in, it took a lot out of
0:48:45 > 0:48:50them. To come here today, and finish off Oldham, nothing but
0:48:50 > 0:48:54admiration. We have to look over our shoulders a little bit, we have
0:48:54 > 0:49:00a tough game next week, we need to go to Wycombe. We cannot change
0:49:00 > 0:49:10what has happened today, but we can take the good things, look at the
0:49:10 > 0:49:11
0:49:11 > 0:49:20negatives and try and make their A barrier with this victory, but it
0:49:20 > 0:49:27was harder work than they were expected. -- expecting. Jackson was
0:49:27 > 0:49:31back for Charlton, and keen to make up for lost time. He did lay on the
0:49:31 > 0:49:38winner, his free-kick found at N'guessan, who scored his first
0:49:38 > 0:49:43goal in as many home games. Charlton, still winning. A real
0:49:43 > 0:49:50gutsy performance by the players, two games in three days' is hard.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55We had a gruelling game, tough trip coming back from Alton, and then to
0:49:55 > 0:50:05prepare for today, the players gave me everything, and I really applaud
0:50:05 > 0:50:07
0:50:07 > 0:50:12Huddersfield. Bournemouth could have gone in front when this free-
0:50:12 > 0:50:18kick came back off the post. Thomas eventually get the ball over the
0:50:18 > 0:50:25bar. Huddersfield's season is starting to unravel, and it looks
0:50:25 > 0:50:33almost certain that they will have to face the play-offs again. Malone
0:50:33 > 0:50:36helped the ball over the line. On Saturday, and they lost 2-0 to
0:50:36 > 0:50:42Sheffield Wednesday, and it was the similar scoreline did minutes from
0:50:42 > 0:50:48time here, when Bournemouth's caretaker manager got his first
0:50:48 > 0:50:56wind. I think the players are gaining a little bit more belief as
0:50:56 > 0:51:06time goes on. For work on the training ground needs to continue,
0:51:06 > 0:51:11
0:51:11 > 0:51:14League One, but an interesting tussle between Sheffield Wednesday
0:51:14 > 0:51:19and Sheffield United. It is a case of who blinks first. They are both
0:51:19 > 0:51:24on a great grunts. I am not sure that the odd man out here... I
0:51:24 > 0:51:29don't think they will be as famous as we have seen, because they are
0:51:29 > 0:51:34both hitting great form. I think they will be thinking, if we play
0:51:34 > 0:51:39well, we will go through, because we are the third best side,
0:51:39 > 0:51:46definitely. United could go to the end of the season but winning all
0:51:46 > 0:51:51their games. That is the way it is looking. We win, you win, it is
0:51:51 > 0:51:55just the one who has got the advantage. At the moment, it is
0:51:55 > 0:52:00Sheffield Wednesday, but we will wait and see, who will hold their
0:52:00 > 0:52:08nerve! Charlton are almost over the finishing live to stop Chris Powell
0:52:08 > 0:52:14has shown a canny knack in the transfer market. N'guessan has
0:52:14 > 0:52:17scored in three consecutive home games. He has taken a lot of
0:52:17 > 0:52:23excuses in from managers to say decked players take a long time to
0:52:23 > 0:52:31bed in. He has said it where the players are going to play, what the
0:52:31 > 0:52:35job in, -- what the job is, so he has blown a few excuses out of the
0:52:35 > 0:52:40Walker. The players who have come in through the season have come in
0:52:40 > 0:52:44and done well. It was a pivotal day at the bottom of League One,
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Chesterfield and Exeter were staring relegation in the face and
0:52:47 > 0:52:57knew they had to get something out of their games to stand a chance of
0:52:57 > 0:53:03
0:53:03 > 0:53:09escaped if Chesterfield managed to survive this season. They reminded
0:53:09 > 0:53:16people not to write them off just yet. But two minutes after the
0:53:16 > 0:53:25recite -- restart, they were coasting. This was Moussa's third
0:53:25 > 0:53:32goal in two games. Five minutes later, they were three down, after
0:53:32 > 0:53:35bamboozling Doherty, he curled in a beauty. That put a stop to their
0:53:35 > 0:53:41losing streak, but even if they can take maximum points from their
0:53:41 > 0:53:45remaining matches, it might be enough to save them. Bowery top off
0:53:45 > 0:53:55an excellent display with a 4th. But surely this only delays the
0:53:55 > 0:54:00
0:54:00 > 0:54:07still avoid the drop, summer rolled their eyes. They could have gone
0:54:07 > 0:54:14down on Monday, but they looked determined to avoid that fate. They
0:54:14 > 0:54:21got a stay of execution. They had hoped when previously there was
0:54:21 > 0:54:31none. Optimism at aureate is it similarly short supply. -- optimism

0:54:47 > 0:54:57couldn't prevent an 8th defeat out of 10 for them. It was Exeter's
0:54:57 > 0:55:09
0:55:09 > 0:55:14lift, and it leaves the Leyton them back into relegation trouble,
0:55:14 > 0:55:24and they needed a response against Colchester. They got the lead five
0:55:24 > 0:55:28
0:55:28 > 0:55:32minutes before half-time up. Three minutes later, the lead was doubled.
0:55:32 > 0:55:37Ut if you're looking for a League One goal of the day, how about this
0:55:37 > 0:55:47effort from Bury's Giles Coke? There was only one thing on his
0:55:47 > 0:55:56
0:55:56 > 0:55:58mind. Colchester's response was relegation trapdoor, David Worrall

0:56:28 > 0:56:35of five matches without a win. This strike appeared to have done the
0:56:35 > 0:56:45trick. A major blow for his former employers, losing ground in the
0:56:45 > 0:56:53
0:56:53 > 0:56:58play-off places. But in the end, Carlisle's play-off prospect few
0:56:58 > 0:57:03favours. They surrendered their top-six place as a result of this

0:58:15 > 0:58:20in front before racing to embrace his manager. In the 93rd minute, he
0:58:20 > 0:58:24completed his first ever professional hat-trick. It leads to
0:58:24 > 0:58:34one obvious question, where has he been hiding his shooting boots all
0:58:34 > 0:58:40
0:58:40 > 0:58:48supply at Victoria Park this season, goals as well. Ryan Noble was kept
0:58:48 > 0:58:52out. The offside flag came to Brentford's rescue. A 6th
0:58:52 > 0:59:00successive win would have put the Bees within a point of the play-off
0:59:00 > 0:59:10places. The travelling fans held their breath. Diagouraga could not
0:59:10 > 0:59:11
0:59:11 > 0:59:15hold his nerve. Last season MK Dons finished 5th before losing to
0:59:15 > 0:59:25Peterborough in the play-offs. They seem destined to finish 5th again.
0:59:25 > 0:59:32
0:59:32 > 0:59:39They took the lead with a penalty. Tranmere had a chance to equalise,
0:59:39 > 0:59:45but the referee penalised Gary Mackenzie for a push. Jake
0:59:45 > 0:59:51Cassidy's kick was saved. They follow it up but indecisively. The
0:59:51 > 1:00:01Dons took advantage just before half-time. Stephen Gleeson was
1:00:01 > 1:00:05given too much time and space before finishing from eight yards.
1:00:05 > 1:00:13Williams added his second, again from the penalty spot after Charlie
1:00:13 > 1:00:18MacDonald was held back by David Buchanan. This time he did not need

1:00:23 > 1:00:28play offs a wait for Paul Robinson and his team again. It was an
1:00:28 > 1:00:32important win for MK Dons. They have been stuttering of late. It
1:00:32 > 1:00:37could see the fate sealed for Chesterfield and Exeter, as it is
1:00:37 > 1:00:42they lived to see another day. Is it the case of the pressure being
1:00:42 > 1:00:46off both of them? I do not think it is as simplistic at that.
1:00:46 > 1:00:51Chesterfield have played very well. If they played like that every week,
1:00:51 > 1:00:57they would not be getting relegated. Exeter have got some decent players
1:00:57 > 1:01:04at this level. They pushed Charlton to the absolute minute -- limit, so
1:01:04 > 1:01:07they know what they are capable of. For some unknown reason both those
1:01:07 > 1:01:13sites have not managed to string enough results together to stay in
1:01:13 > 1:01:18this division. At the other end Notts County boosted their play-off
1:01:18 > 1:01:22chance with a hat-trick from Lloyds Sam. He was the only hat-trick
1:01:22 > 1:01:29scorer on Monday. It is a question of who you know, Keith cold getting
1:01:29 > 1:01:32him from his old pal. It is someone who can help you make that
1:01:32 > 1:01:41transition from in and around the play-offs to getting into the play-
1:01:41 > 1:01:46offs. He will do more than most to get them a chance of getting into

1:01:53 > 1:01:58have given themselves a breathing space. Yes, they have. A huge sigh
1:01:58 > 1:02:03of relief all around. It was looking at one stage it would be a
1:02:03 > 1:02:11difficult entered the season. a case of consolidating. Yes, they

1:02:17 > 1:02:24they need to stay in and play on and pushed on from there. You have
1:02:24 > 1:02:27to give credit to Ryan Lowe. Absolutely. In League Two and
1:02:27 > 1:02:33announcements said Steve Evans had left Crawley to become the new
1:02:33 > 1:02:38manager of Rotherham United. It could have ramifications for
1:02:38 > 1:02:48fourth-placed Crawley. Their first taste of life after Evans came away
1:02:48 > 1:02:52
1:02:52 > 1:02:56temporary charge of Crawley. All signs pointed to things going
1:02:56 > 1:03:02further downhill at Barnet, especially once the Bees took the
1:03:02 > 1:03:07lead. The relegation strugglers might be handed a free pass by the
1:03:07 > 1:03:17unravelling of the Red Devils. But Brewster pulled off a managerial
1:03:17 > 1:03:18
1:03:18 > 1:03:24masterstroke at the interval. There were two half-time substitutions.
1:03:24 > 1:03:28This eclectic strike was out of the reach of the goal caber and
1:03:28 > 1:03:34rewarded his new manager's decision to twist rather than to stick. But
1:03:34 > 1:03:42not everything played out in Crawley's favour. Sir Joat horrors

1:03:52 > 1:03:53
1:03:53 > 1:03:58You will wonder if they run out of bodies!. It is a vital when that
1:03:58 > 1:04:04looks even more impressive in the light of Steve Evans' departure.
1:04:04 > 1:04:08People have opportunity in life and it is up to them to take them and
1:04:08 > 1:04:14he has taken it and we wish him everything. He was five years at
1:04:14 > 1:04:18the club and that is why it is where it is today. Steve's Evans
1:04:18 > 1:04:22becomes a Rotherham's 7th manager, but his arrival in South Yorkshire
1:04:22 > 1:04:30may have come too late to take the Miller's enter the play-offs. They
1:04:30 > 1:04:37should have taken the lead before the half hour. The penalty kick was
1:04:37 > 1:04:44easily saved. Cheltenham need player of poise themselves, but
1:04:44 > 1:04:49they were denied by Orion Cresswell. His track record speaks for itself.
1:04:49 > 1:04:54I like the drive and the passion, that comes over strong and clear. I
1:04:54 > 1:05:04think it is what we need at Rotherham to move as forward. Steve
1:05:04 > 1:05:08is a winner and he knows what we want. He also knows how to get it.
1:05:08 > 1:05:12Swindon's win over Northampton on New Year's Eve sparked a run of
1:05:12 > 1:05:17nine straight wins that saw them soaring to the summit and since
1:05:17 > 1:05:26then they have never looked back. But Northampton are a much tougher
1:05:26 > 1:05:36prospect these days. Michael Jacobs had the goalkeeper at full-stretch.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39
1:05:39 > 1:05:49The teams went to the brake on bald terms. It now means Paolo Di
1:05:49 > 1:05:49
1:05:49 > 1:05:54Canio's men conceal their return on Saturday. We need to go up. But my
1:05:54 > 1:06:04players understand the job is not done. We have to keep attention
1:06:04 > 1:06:14very high, but I feel confident because I know my players.
1:06:14 > 1:06:21
1:06:21 > 1:06:27Torquay's promotion challenge is running on pure adrenalin. In the
1:06:27 > 1:06:33second half he very nearly took his tally to four goals in four games.
1:06:33 > 1:06:41But the linesman had flagged. Oxfords levelled just before the
1:06:41 > 1:06:48hour. It was a freak goal that seemed to deflate an already leg
1:06:48 > 1:06:56weary Torquay. Cristian Montano was the man to benefit. The Colombian
1:06:56 > 1:07:02scored his second goal of the holiday weekend. Their prospects
1:07:02 > 1:07:07improved when Ian Morris earned himself some extra recovery time.
1:07:07 > 1:07:12He collected two bookings in seven minutes and Torquay finished with
1:07:12 > 1:07:22ten men. But the adrenalin was still working wonders for Martin
1:07:22 > 1:07:28
1:07:28 > 1:07:32Lane's men. Oxford have chosen the wrong time for a wobble. Shrewsbury
1:07:32 > 1:07:42have the only unbeaten home record in the division and that is why
1:07:42 > 1:07:45
1:07:45 > 1:07:50they are third in the table. They scored the game's only goal. They
1:07:50 > 1:07:55should have made certain of the points before half-time. But a rush
1:07:55 > 1:08:01of blood to the head saw his shot sailed over the crossbar. Bradford
1:08:01 > 1:08:09have now lost their last six away games. The Bantams are still not
1:08:09 > 1:08:17safe. The corner-kick routine straight from the training ground
1:08:17 > 1:08:22paved the way to success for Southend. It is Brady Eastwood's
1:08:22 > 1:08:29second goal since returning from alone. But Paul Sturrock still has
1:08:29 > 1:08:39his eye on the top three. Anthony Grant does not get many, but a
1:08:39 > 1:08:41
1:08:41 > 1:08:47great strike set them up nicely. When these two last met, the
1:08:47 > 1:08:52Pirates a sheet four goals before half-time. History repeated itself
1:08:52 > 1:08:57here. Steve Davis has been impressing upon his team the
1:08:57 > 1:09:03importance of starting well in matches. They got things right,
1:09:03 > 1:09:13having made it two with barely five minutes gone. It was a similar

1:09:13 > 1:09:20story in the second half. Harry Davis scored to conform -- confirm
1:09:20 > 1:09:30five wins out of seven. Dagenham & Redbridge had a chance of extending
1:09:30 > 1:09:32
1:09:32 > 1:09:42their Football League state into a 6th season. The Gills revived their

1:09:47 > 1:09:57Green has not scored this season, but he made this one himself.
1:09:57 > 1:09:59
1:09:59 > 1:10:04Perhaps the Gillingham keeper could have done better. This was not
1:10:04 > 1:10:13pretty, not that Plymouth are complaining. Carl Fletcher's team
1:10:13 > 1:10:18are taking a big step towards survival courtesy of Alex McDonnell.
1:10:18 > 1:10:27That established a 40 minute lead for Argyll who have survived the
1:10:27 > 1:10:34several scares. This latest setback kills up any lingering play-off
1:10:34 > 1:10:38hopes for Aldershot who continued to dominate after the restart. Sone

1:10:49 > 1:10:55and smacked the post as Plymouth held on for the points. Burton are
1:10:55 > 1:11:01enjoying themselves again. Adam border's measured finish put them
1:11:01 > 1:11:11on the way to two wins. Prior to that it was 16 games without
1:11:11 > 1:11:17victory. Adam Webster had double reason to celebrate. It was his one
1:11:17 > 1:11:25hundredth goal for the club. But old habits die hard. Burton made
1:11:25 > 1:11:29their fans suffer a little bit longer. Four minutes after the
1:11:29 > 1:11:35break more poor defending afforded Danny Carlton all the space he
1:11:35 > 1:11:45needed for his 10th goal of the season. But the rejuvenated brewers
1:11:45 > 1:11:48
1:11:48 > 1:11:54now have people queuing up to play the hero. In injury-time that

1:12:27 > 1:12:28
1:12:28 > 1:12:35league is proving a challenge. They had only one a few times this
1:12:35 > 1:12:43season. They were second best in the mad. It looks like it was not
1:12:43 > 1:12:47going to be the home side's day as they struck the posts again. Their
1:12:47 > 1:12:57away record is the worst in the division, but they missed a golden
1:12:57 > 1:12:58
1:12:58 > 1:13:08opportunity to take the lead. This penalty would have scored points at
1:13:08 > 1:13:12
1:13:12 > 1:13:19Twickenham, but his miss was to prove costly. Adam Yates was on the
1:13:19 > 1:13:23spot to keep Macclesfield locked in the bottom two. Her third remain
1:13:23 > 1:13:30anchored to the bottom of the Football League, but after going to
1:13:30 > 1:13:35the break all-square at Accrington, they soon had that sinking feeling.
1:13:35 > 1:13:40They were kept afloat by a well Evans free kick that some have
1:13:40 > 1:13:50found its way into the bottom corner. That gave Richard O'Kelly's
1:13:50 > 1:14:01
1:14:01 > 1:14:06men just half-an-hour to conjure up bottom four, all of them losing.
1:14:06 > 1:14:09Three sides down there, Bonet, Macclesfield and Hereford, they are
1:14:10 > 1:14:15not going to be the biggest clubs with the biggest budget, so you
1:14:15 > 1:14:19could understand it, but Bradford, probably the biggest club in that
1:14:19 > 1:14:25league, certainly they have the most fans, define themselves down
1:14:25 > 1:14:34there is extraordinary. We are looking at it, I think they are
1:14:34 > 1:14:39going to be all right. Herod but I think play bonnet on Friday night.
1:14:39 > 1:14:45If they were to win, I think error that would be out of the equation.
1:14:45 > 1:14:52A huge game for both clubs. When you are down and out, like
1:14:52 > 1:14:57Macclesfield, it was epitomised, they got a penalty and missed it.
1:14:57 > 1:15:0474th minute, a chance to go ahead, I think he slips, to be fair. That
1:15:04 > 1:15:14doesn't help. Eight minutes later, they go down the other end, and
1:15:14 > 1:15:21they are back where they started. It is certainly difficult, a big
1:15:21 > 1:15:24ask. Crawley got off to life without Steve Evans with a good win.
1:15:24 > 1:15:29Leroy said on Saturday they didn't understand why he would leave
1:15:30 > 1:15:35Crawley to go to Rotherham. What do you think? I think one of the
1:15:35 > 1:15:39reasons was for family reasons. When you take into consideration
1:15:39 > 1:15:44Rotherham are going to have a brand new stadium, I opened the programme
1:15:44 > 1:15:49the other day, they had pictures of the stadium, it looks magnificent.
1:15:49 > 1:15:53The chairman will continue to invest, they are ambitious club. I
1:15:53 > 1:16:03don't think he was enamoured with Crawley selling players when they
1:16:03 > 1:16:28
1:16:28 > 1:16:32did. Before we go, let's take a bottom clubs. But a big win for
1:16:32 > 1:16:42Dagenham and Redbridge, and for Plymouth, moving them away from the
