0:00:47 > 0:00:50Steve Claridge is with me. Here's a taster of what's coming up tonight.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Southampton came through the festive period still top of the
0:00:55 > 0:01:05championships. The Saints were on the road to Forest. A team which
0:01:05 > 0:01:06
0:01:06 > 0:01:09needs to start winning and fast. Southampton's heels are West Ham.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Reading are one of the form teams in the championship, the Royals are
0:01:14 > 0:01:21up into the play-offs. They look to keep that going against another
0:01:21 > 0:01:28side on the up - Watford. And in League One, he swapped one of the
0:01:28 > 0:01:33football league success stories for a club which has seen better times.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37The Stevenage boss is the man to rescue them from the dull drums.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40More on that later. We start tonight with a top of the
0:01:40 > 0:01:47championship, which has got more interesting in recent weeks.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Southampton began top of the table, but only on goal difference. The
0:01:52 > 0:01:59Saipts needed a win. As for Forest they started in the bottom three.

0:07:10 > 0:07:20the way. Davis was able to react.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39referee. Chambers may very well be in
0:07:39 > 0:07:47trouble here because the referee, in his right hand, looks to be
0:07:47 > 0:07:55holding a red card. It is - a dismissal for the Forest defender.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59A straight red. Look at the reaction from the
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Forest boss! Here's the challenge again.
0:08:05 > 0:08:15There's contact, most certainly. Is there intent? That's what the
0:08:15 > 0:08:54
0:08:54 > 0:09:04referee has to decide. He decided safety off the boot of Moussi.
0:09:04 > 0:09:26

0:09:31 > 0:09:36The man who was a villain in the eyes of the Forest supporters is

0:11:52 > 0:11:57touch on at the near post and Martin, just look on the right of
0:11:57 > 0:12:07your picture here, he is thought alone. Southampton so close to goal
0:12:07 > 0:12:07
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It is a tough division. You have to grind out results, you have no
0:12:11 > 0:12:15divine right to play good football. You have to work very hard to earn
0:12:15 > 0:12:19the right to do it and today we have done it. It is two games
0:12:19 > 0:12:23without Rickie Lambert and we won both. We know our performance over
0:12:23 > 0:12:28the last few games wasn't the best and we knew that, so we worked very
0:12:28 > 0:12:33hard in the training to correct that and today we put a good
0:12:33 > 0:12:37shifted. Let's cut straight to the quick. The red card but undoubtedly
0:12:37 > 0:12:41changed the game. What was your view of it? From where I am I
0:12:41 > 0:12:45haven't got a good view of it. I can't see whether it is or isn't. I
0:12:45 > 0:12:49am not hiding behind that. I can't see at the moment. I need a close
0:12:49 > 0:12:55look at it. How much did that changed the game, the fact you lost
0:12:55 > 0:12:59a key player? I think it was a foul before it. I think there was a foul
0:12:59 > 0:13:03on to J. I think there was a push in the back from where they won the
0:13:03 > 0:13:13header. I tell you what, for Steve Cotterill's benefit and everyone
0:13:13 > 0:13:18
0:13:18 > 0:13:21else, let's see if there was a foul. foul. However, he might have a case
0:13:21 > 0:13:27either way. I don't think it is a sending off. I think he leads with
0:13:27 > 0:13:34his arm, he does not through the arm. It is one of those where he
0:13:34 > 0:13:40leads there, it is a booking, you have to go up, elevate yourself
0:13:40 > 0:13:45with your arm. I think that is what he does. I think we have Connolly
0:13:45 > 0:13:49who heads his arm as well so it exacerbates the situation. It is
0:13:49 > 0:13:54probably a booking for leaving his your arm and not throwing it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58ended up with a comfortable victim -- victory for Southampton.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05Nottingham Forest were not clinical enough. This epitomised the moment
0:14:05 > 0:14:08when the ball went the other end. How quickly again can change. You
0:14:08 > 0:14:12see here, even though he takes too long, he is hitting it into the
0:14:12 > 0:14:15crowd of players rather than putting it into the side where
0:14:15 > 0:14:21there are not many players and there is an empty net and of course
0:14:21 > 0:14:25they break. They never get composure again. Southampton go
0:14:25 > 0:14:28one-year -- nil up and you have a situation where there was a
0:14:28 > 0:14:33perfectly good chance, against a side who are good when they get
0:14:33 > 0:14:36ahead. They can knock the ball around particularly at ten men,
0:14:36 > 0:14:43that is when Southampton started to take command because they will make
0:14:43 > 0:14:46the pitch began to start passing Very encouraging for Southampton.
0:14:46 > 0:14:56West Ham had to beat Portsmouth at Fratton Park to keep up the
0:14:56 > 0:14:59
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Premier League immediately they will need to start winning again.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09They only had two victories in six league games before the visit
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Portsmouth but they seem to get back on track here. When there was
0:15:14 > 0:15:19a challenge on Winston Reid, there was a penalty. All of Mark Noble's
0:15:19 > 0:15:24games this season have come from the spot prior to this game and
0:15:24 > 0:15:29this continued the trend, ahead after 24 minutes. After the break
0:15:29 > 0:15:35came a key moment. David Norris was too late and too dangerous for the
0:15:35 > 0:15:39referee's liking and he sent him off. West Ham looked to make the
0:15:39 > 0:15:43most of their numerical advantage and almost scored a second. This
0:15:43 > 0:15:51curling effort shaving the woodwork but it did not have -- it did not
0:15:51 > 0:15:54matter as West Ham kept pace with Southampton. Doncaster maybe four
0:15:54 > 0:15:57points from safety but Cardiff New not to take them lively. Rovers
0:15:57 > 0:16:02have lost their last three games at home including a win over
0:16:02 > 0:16:12Southampton. It was a lacklustre first half but perked up in the
0:16:12 > 0:16:16second. Cardiff had a narrow escape. Marshall was not beaten. Cardiff's
0:16:16 > 0:16:24defence was caught out by the free kick and could do little from the
0:16:24 > 0:16:29cut back. Oh, could not direct his header on goal. -- O'Connor.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Doncaster will work hard to keep Billy Sharp but he did not add to
0:16:33 > 0:16:39his value of goals and even thought he should have had a penalty here.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Cardiff tried it as staged a late smash-and-grab but Whittingham's
0:16:44 > 0:16:52shot lacked any real punch. Dean Saunders had to make do with one
0:16:52 > 0:16:55point when it should have been We did not go to look today. We
0:16:55 > 0:16:58played really well. We had enough chances to win three games and from
0:16:58 > 0:17:08start to finish I thought the boys were excellent. We dominated the
0:17:08 > 0:17:08
0:17:08 > 0:17:12together as Darlington fans collected money in order to save
0:17:12 > 0:17:15their club from imminent closure. Burnley boss Eddie Howe will
0:17:15 > 0:17:20complete here in charge of the Clarets this week and his side took
0:17:20 > 0:17:24just six minutes to get the celebrations under way. Rodriguez
0:17:24 > 0:17:30grabbing his eight leak goal of the season and his 14 spin all. In the
0:17:30 > 0:17:34absence of first-choice goalkeeper Jason still, Middlesbrough handed a
0:17:34 > 0:17:41debut to 18-year-old, Ripley, some of steward. He will have better
0:17:41 > 0:17:47days as Burnley's Hyypia scored from miles out. -- Hyypia. In the
0:17:47 > 0:17:54second half borough could not break down a resolute Burnley defence. --
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Berra. Afterwards, Tony Mowbray's reaction was blunt, Eddie house,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03humble. Whenever you come to Middlesbrough you have a tough game.
0:18:03 > 0:18:11They are the good side. It has been a good day. It is a frustrating day,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14we need to put it behind us and be better next week. Nick Barmby's
0:18:14 > 0:18:18first match in permanent charges Hull City manager saw his side try
0:18:18 > 0:18:24to avoid a 4th league defeat in a row but they needed quick thinking
0:18:24 > 0:18:31in the opening minutes from Mannone to prevent the visitors taking an
0:18:31 > 0:18:34early lead. It was Sinclair at it again beating Mannone, but not
0:18:34 > 0:18:39defender James jester, who timed his challenge to perfection to
0:18:39 > 0:18:47clear the danger. But Hull City were not worried and the first goal
0:18:47 > 0:18:54arrived after 27 minutes. Koren scored his eight-goal of the season.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Apparently to universal acclaim within the KC Stadium. Peterborough
0:18:57 > 0:19:03continued to threaten and they were convinced they should have had a
0:19:03 > 0:19:09penalty. There was panic in the Hull City area. There was a
0:19:09 > 0:19:11challenge by Mannone. No penalty, only a goal kick. At the other rent
0:19:11 > 0:19:20Lyris pulled off a superb double save to keep Peterborough in the
0:19:20 > 0:19:23hunt. The game still was not one. After the break Hull City have to
0:19:23 > 0:19:32withstand pressure before getting forward themselves in search of a
0:19:32 > 0:19:41second goal, which almost came from Kerron Stewart. -- Kerron Stewart.
0:19:41 > 0:19:51Peterborough had a lucky escape later on, the shop still stayed out.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Nonetheless, another good day at hunting ground for Blackpool before
0:19:56 > 0:20:01this one with struggling Ipswich they have never won in eight
0:20:01 > 0:20:06previous visits. Things did not look good for them in this one.
0:20:06 > 0:20:16Barely ten minutes on the clock and they were behind. Martin drove in a
0:20:16 > 0:20:20cross for Scotland. Martinez glanced the ball into his own net.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Blackpool went into this one looking for a third Championship
0:20:23 > 0:20:33win in four but were up against it shortly after the break when
0:20:33 > 0:20:35
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Ipswich scored another. Two up, after the hour. When you are up
0:20:38 > 0:20:41against the weakest defence in the Championship you are always in with
0:20:41 > 0:20:47a chance of scoring at five minutes later Blackpool pulled one back.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Grandin, three minutes after coming on, with the simplest of tap-ins
0:20:50 > 0:20:55and the colour co-ordinated clubs were on. Ten minutes from time the
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Ipswich defence was at it again. Grandin picked out Phillips, who
0:21:00 > 0:21:05did what he does best, so it was looking like a draw. Or was it?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09With full-time approaching Ipswich's Cresswell delivered it
0:21:09 > 0:21:15tantalising ball but Martin bundled his lines. At least we got
0:21:15 > 0:21:21something out of it. It sounds crazy, too-nil up, ten minutes to
0:21:21 > 0:21:29go, you are thinking deja-vu. I am not pleased but at least we got
0:21:29 > 0:21:32something. Leeds were at Selhurst Park for their 50th league match
0:21:32 > 0:21:37against Crystal Palace and the winner would be their first double
0:21:37 > 0:21:41over the Eagles End -- since the 1994-95 season. Any thoughts of a
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Leeds win were on hold as Palace got off to a flyer. After six
0:21:46 > 0:21:54minutes, Chris Martin got time and space to place his second League
0:21:54 > 0:22:00goal of the season past the goalkeeper. Palace had their keeper
0:22:00 > 0:22:03to thank for preserving their lead. He kept out a shot and reacted
0:22:03 > 0:22:11brilliantly to this low shot. But with half-time approaching Palace
0:22:11 > 0:22:16were reduced to ten men. It was a second bookable offence and the 22-
0:22:16 > 0:22:21year-old was off. The game but potentially changed. And so it
0:22:21 > 0:22:25proved. Leeds went in search of an equaliser and found it courtesy of
0:22:25 > 0:22:28an inspiring source, barely two weeks after undergoing surgery on
0:22:29 > 0:22:38his appendix, Snodgrass was in the right place to died in McCormack's
0:22:38 > 0:22:42cross. Leeds remain in striking An eventful game at Selhurst Park.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47We saw two young squads, Burnley and Hull City. Burnley, I saw them
0:22:47 > 0:22:50win at West Ham a few weeks ago, now to inflict Middlesbrough's only
0:22:50 > 0:22:57second home league defeat of the season, it is a statement of intent.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It is a big result, all of a sudden just outside play-offs. Incredible.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Everybody was wondering when the tide was going to turn -- the tide
0:23:05 > 0:23:10was going to turn. It has taken a while. He has had a lot of work to
0:23:10 > 0:23:13do. Things start to look as if they are turning up the right time.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Hull City fans may have feared the worst as soon as the full-time
0:23:18 > 0:23:24rains were handed to Nick Barmby but he got a great win today and I
0:23:25 > 0:23:34suppose that he wanted assurances that he got assurances from the
0:23:35 > 0:23:38
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Allen family and not many clubs can be in that situation. There are
0:23:43 > 0:23:49forward looking club. They put in a couple of bids, a couple of
0:23:49 > 0:23:55million-pound players, so they are forward-thinking club, they are
0:23:55 > 0:24:00financially no rumours, they are in a good state of mind. It is nice to
0:24:00 > 0:24:04be able to keep your best players, especially when you are going along
0:24:04 > 0:24:08nicely. Let's find out the Championship's
0:24:08 > 0:24:13evening game and how it unfolded, where Watford have had a decent
0:24:13 > 0:24:17form. Their opponents Reading started the date in a play-off
0:24:17 > 0:24:23position on the back of four straight wins in December. Watford
0:24:23 > 0:24:33made three changes from their FA Cup win over Bradford. Reading also
0:24:33 > 0:24:53
0:24:53 > 0:25:03made three changes to the starting The first -- the first scare for
0:25:03 > 0:25:35
0:25:35 > 0:25:45nudge on Hunt, perhaps, with Cummings. A good cross. The
0:25:45 > 0:25:49defender was unlucky. He would have scored himself but Cummings got
0:25:49 > 0:25:59there ahead of the striker and scope -- and scored the goal. It is
0:25:59 > 0:26:28
0:26:28 > 0:26:33the campaign to date. This is why, Great save, Federici. That shot had
0:26:33 > 0:26:43bangs of sting behind it. Two league goals so far this
0:26:43 > 0:26:54
0:26:54 > 0:27:04All the space, all the time he wanted there.

0:29:35 > 0:29:42In by Harte. finish was superb. Reading with a
0:29:42 > 0:29:46smash and grab. It was a very soft goal late on. They got the three
0:29:46 > 0:29:52points. We are disappointed. The performance was not what we expect
0:29:52 > 0:30:01to they are not what we have been doing lately. I was disappointed to
0:30:01 > 0:30:07go 1-0 down. It was a terrific goal to get back to 1-1. It was a
0:30:07 > 0:30:12fantastic finish and I thought we were good value for three points.
0:30:12 > 0:30:22suppose it was the perfect response to the cup defeat against teenage
0:30:22 > 0:30:28
0:30:28 > 0:30:34It was a goal scorers finish to finish the game. In the Premier
0:30:34 > 0:30:44League, I think they would have both got a red card. The Robson
0:30:44 > 0:30:59
0:30:59 > 0:31:05He gets up. He does not get his leg off the ground. The force of the
0:31:05 > 0:31:11challenge could be in question. do we not have consistency? We saw
0:31:11 > 0:31:16it in the Premiership last week with two similar tackles. You would
0:31:16 > 0:31:20have said that both those players would probably have gone in the
0:31:20 > 0:31:30Premiership. I do not think it was cast-iron. Certainly they should
0:31:30 > 0:31:31
0:31:31 > 0:31:34both have gone off but they are not the best looking tackles in the
0:31:34 > 0:31:38world. Well as for the rest of the Championship, it has been a lean
0:31:38 > 0:31:48period for Leicester City with just one league win in six. On Saturday,
0:31:48 > 0:31:49
0:31:49 > 0:31:59they took on an out-of sorts Barnsley. 12 minutes gone and
0:31:59 > 0:32:02
0:32:02 > 0:32:10Barnsley have the lead. That was a lovely run. Drinkwater found Gray.
0:32:10 > 0:32:18He just backed off. That was his 5th goal of the season. That was a
0:32:18 > 0:32:23long ball. He scored. The Barnsley defence seemed to stand and watch.
0:32:23 > 0:32:30One touch and the second touch beat the keeper. Three minutes after
0:32:30 > 0:32:40Barnsley took the lead, Leicester are level. Now is the time to kick
0:32:40 > 0:32:49
0:32:49 > 0:32:59off. Just the response Nigel side. Drinkwater again. He is just
0:32:59 > 0:33:00
0:33:00 > 0:33:04waiting. Gray has scored. It is the same combination as for the first
0:33:04 > 0:33:14goal. First time with the foot, this time with the head. Leicester
0:33:14 > 0:33:14
0:33:14 > 0:33:24have it all to do it again. Can they hold on to this lead? That was
0:33:24 > 0:33:30a good jump. Off the head. Still not clear. Barnsley did not know
0:33:30 > 0:33:40too much about this. He thought he had the keeper beaten and he did
0:33:40 > 0:33:43
0:33:43 > 0:33:53but not the goal. That was a good run. This could beat 3-1. Then
0:33:53 > 0:34:06
0:34:06 > 0:34:12shoots. Good save! He worked it score! That was a good save by
0:34:12 > 0:34:22Schmeichel. Was he trying to be too clever? Should he have taken it
0:34:22 > 0:34:28round? Schmeichel is large but his mood is deeper now and more gloomy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34What a ill-thought on the two goals? Superb. -- what are your
0:34:34 > 0:34:40thoughts? I was really pleased for him. To be fair to them, they
0:34:40 > 0:34:50deserve to win the game. We caused a lot of problems and we need to
0:34:50 > 0:34:50
0:34:50 > 0:34:58make some changes. Stand by for six goals and two sendings-off. Curtis
0:34:58 > 0:35:08Davis scored after 18 minutes was up 1-0 to of Birmingham. Millwall
0:35:08 > 0:35:09
0:35:09 > 0:35:14were reduced to 10 men. The referee took the advice of his assistant.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19Larry's face was the picture as he walked the walk of shame. Millwall
0:35:19 > 0:35:29were reduced to nine men following a lunge at the giant Serbia him.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33
0:35:34 > 0:35:43Within minutes, they took advantage of superior numbers. In the last
0:35:44 > 0:35:45
0:35:45 > 0:35:55quarter of an hour, Millwall simply collapsed. It ended 3-0 to the
0:35:55 > 0:36:12
0:36:12 > 0:36:20still more Millwall torture to come. King scored his second goal. 5-0.
0:36:20 > 0:36:27The Blues, or yellows, were not finished. This was Birmingham's
0:36:27 > 0:36:37biggest away win since 1998. The manager is very happy with his eyes
0:36:37 > 0:36:45clinical finishing. -- side's. they went down to nine men, it was
0:36:45 > 0:36:49a question of can we use the spaces it well enough? And we did. It was
0:36:49 > 0:36:55a very merry festive period for Derby. Three successive league wins
0:36:55 > 0:37:00put them on top of the form table. The same could not be said for
0:37:00 > 0:37:08Coventry. Early on the visitors were better than they Roque bottom
0:37:08 > 0:37:14status suggests. In an entertaining first half, both sides created
0:37:14 > 0:37:19chances. The Coventry keeper looked lively and kept the scores level.
0:37:19 > 0:37:29Derby continue to press after the break. This free kick signalled
0:37:29 > 0:37:31
0:37:31 > 0:37:40their intent. This one was anyone's for the taking. If they scored
0:37:40 > 0:37:45today, the Rams would make it 100 goals in competitive matches with
0:37:45 > 0:37:52Coventry. Callum bought's neat finish sealed it for the hosts.
0:37:52 > 0:37:59Derby are now up to 8. disappointed. We have come here and
0:37:59 > 0:38:05given a good account of our service. We missed some good chances. It was
0:38:05 > 0:38:12disappointing. They played very well. They were all over us at
0:38:12 > 0:38:19times. It is hard on them but we will take the result. Brighton fans
0:38:19 > 0:38:24will be hoping their 3-0 thumping of Southampton can reignite their
0:38:24 > 0:38:28stuttering season. Bristol City are in league action after losing to
0:38:28 > 0:38:37Crawley in the FA Cup. Brighton continued their new year's
0:38:37 > 0:38:42goalscoring form into this match. They scored perfectly. Was that the
0:38:42 > 0:38:46shape of things to come? Actually that was the first effort on target
0:38:46 > 0:38:55for this turgid affair. The action hotted up as half-time approached.
0:38:55 > 0:39:03David James was at his very best. Continuing to -- as full-time
0:39:03 > 0:39:11approached, the Robins went two behind. In fact, the visitors had
0:39:11 > 0:39:19to wait until the final minute for their first and only effort on
0:39:19 > 0:39:25target. Brighton and Gus Poyet had back-to-back wins. This is our best
0:39:25 > 0:39:34performance for a while. We did not take any risks where we did not
0:39:34 > 0:39:44have to. We scored good goals. I am very pleased. Brighten getting back
0:39:44 > 0:39:47
0:39:47 > 0:39:52to back the Quins. A cracking goal that! -- league wins. It is not
0:39:53 > 0:40:00just conceding six, it is another game where they have not scored the
0:40:00 > 0:40:06goal. Psychologically, that has a tiring effect. They have scored so
0:40:07 > 0:40:12few goals this season, can they get back in again? That is the negative
0:40:12 > 0:40:19effect on the side for Devaney to rectify that. The manager is quite
0:40:19 > 0:40:29active about getting strikers in. It has been a strange old season
0:40:29 > 0:40:29
0:40:29 > 0:40:35for Derby. He was talking about the virtues of a clean sheet. If you
0:40:35 > 0:40:43have got the foundation to build from, it certainly, where you are
0:40:43 > 0:40:49not conceding goals, you always have the chance of making this. It
0:40:49 > 0:40:55took 75 minutes and they got the winning goal. He has his first
0:40:55 > 0:41:02choice back four. That is what he wanted. Maybe there are extenuating
0:41:02 > 0:41:07circumstances for not getting the results he wants. A good win for
0:41:07 > 0:41:13Barnsley. It is the have-nots against the haves. The manager
0:41:13 > 0:41:19relishes these challenges. It is very much a case of, he did a
0:41:19 > 0:41:25brilliant job at rush tell. Expectations were not that they
0:41:25 > 0:41:28would go out and rolled teams over. The same at Derby. He cut his cloth
0:41:28 > 0:41:33accordingly. Sometimes you get a bit more latitude because
0:41:33 > 0:41:41expectations are as high as that other clubs. He has had a
0:41:41 > 0:41:44tremendous time. One win in seven for Nigel Pearson. Different
0:41:44 > 0:41:52players were different personnel. The players he had a rich and they
0:41:52 > 0:41:56were in his sort of start, the way he managed. -- originally. I am
0:41:56 > 0:42:06sure they will start picking up points. Them is too much quality
0:42:06 > 0:42:32
0:42:32 > 0:42:36that at one stage, there was talk of calling him in. By this morning
0:42:36 > 0:42:43one of the teams had got their man. one of the teams had got their man.
0:42:43 > 0:42:53This man. Over the past couple of years, as Preston have stumbled
0:42:53 > 0:42:55
0:42:55 > 0:42:59through relegation, Graham Westly steered Stevenage into successive
0:42:59 > 0:43:04promotions. Believes them three points off the play-off places and
0:43:04 > 0:43:13inherits a team who have dropped from second to 13th, with two wins
0:43:13 > 0:43:13from their last 20 games. There has from their last 20 games. There has
0:43:14 > 0:43:18from their last 20 games. There has from their last 20 games. There has
0:43:18 > 0:43:22been a lot of tears this week. The boys have won a lot of medals for
0:43:22 > 0:43:26the football club. We have done a lot together. This is a magnificent
0:43:26 > 0:43:30football club. It has a great history. It is up to me and the
0:43:30 > 0:43:38lads to get together and make sure the future has got some trophies in
0:43:38 > 0:43:44it. Tell me, what do you know about Graham Westly. My sources down
0:43:44 > 0:43:49south say he was in the long-ball game. Why him? He has a 52% win
0:43:49 > 0:43:55rate. He was back to Stevenage in 2008. He does not like losing
0:43:55 > 0:44:00football matches, nor do I. We were right. His chairman did not want to
0:44:00 > 0:44:05lose him. It is like pulling teeth. That said, a wonderful manager they
0:44:05 > 0:44:11did not want to lose. Could this football club get itself into the
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Premier League? You have to say that that's an ambition that is not
0:44:15 > 0:44:19unrealistic. I think Preston have been disappointed. They've had a
0:44:19 > 0:44:25couple of managerial changes in the past two or three years. They used
0:44:25 > 0:44:28to be renown for being stable and they would have Billy Davis and
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Moyes, fans have been disgruntled with all the changes. Hopefully
0:44:33 > 0:44:39he's here for the longer term. believe he's a hard task master.
0:44:39 > 0:44:47These boys will have to work. had the players doing double shifts
0:44:47 > 0:44:51- will you introduce that here. used to do quadruples. We did a lot
0:44:52 > 0:45:01of work. My work ethic will never change. I don't expect the workload
0:45:02 > 0:45:03
0:45:03 > 0:45:08to reduce. That does not scare Two renown defenders who must have
0:45:08 > 0:45:15been winging as they took the lead. The new Preston manager was given
0:45:15 > 0:45:22plenty to ponder. Graham Westly would have enjoyed
0:45:22 > 0:45:29Graham Westly would have enjoyed the set pieces.
0:45:29 > 0:45:35Another corner paid dividend 13 minutes into the second half.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39Jerus, having been borrowed from Birmingham. Four minutes later
0:45:39 > 0:45:44Anthony Stuart shoved Morgan. Preston had the opportunity to make
0:45:44 > 0:45:49the lead more comfortable. Parry obliged. The rest of the match
0:45:49 > 0:45:54should have been straightforward. Preston made life harder for
0:45:54 > 0:45:57themselves. Smith clipped Harris to collect a second booking. So, the
0:45:57 > 0:46:01homicide had to see out the final quarter of the match a man light.
0:46:01 > 0:46:11They did that successfully enough. The only damage Whickham could
0:46:11 > 0:46:22
0:46:22 > 0:46:27Stephenage for the trip to Rochdale. His first act as player-manager was
0:46:27 > 0:46:34to preside over this superb performance. It was not only depart
0:46:34 > 0:46:38cheers at the Boro this week. A committed Stevenage showed no
0:46:38 > 0:46:47signs of missing their former manager. Their second came from a
0:46:47 > 0:46:57long-serving Wilson. Rochdale, are manageless
0:46:57 > 0:47:04
0:47:04 > 0:47:11themselvess,. Beach is looking for cushion. Wilson grabbed his second
0:47:11 > 0:47:16of the match. It all proved too much for Widowson.
0:47:16 > 0:47:22Moments later he earned himself a second yellow card for this
0:47:22 > 0:47:32challenge on Beardsly. Relegation threatened Rochdale. On this
0:47:32 > 0:47:37
0:47:37 > 0:47:44evidence, they will need to find a Carlisle's weekend early, Stevenage
0:47:44 > 0:47:54creeped back into the play-off places.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59
0:47:59 > 0:48:05Showing. D A perfect day for you. It was on the cards t lads at
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Stevenage would post that result. We worked hard all week. The boys
0:48:08 > 0:48:14picked up everything they had done. They put themselves together on
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Thursday and Friday. I am delighted for them. They are a smashing bunch.
0:48:17 > 0:48:22They will go from strength to strength. No question about that.
0:48:22 > 0:48:28Here, it is a lovely way to arrive, get the three points, despite the
0:48:29 > 0:48:32sending off, despite going a point down, the lads showed good
0:48:32 > 0:48:38character. You will claim this as your first game in charge? That
0:48:38 > 0:48:43would be unfair. I said a few words. Graham managed the game. All the
0:48:43 > 0:48:49credit to him. All the real work starts for you on Monday? It will
0:48:49 > 0:48:52be a big job. It is evident that there are gaps where we're at.
0:48:52 > 0:49:02There's work to do. If there was not a job to do, they would not
0:49:02 > 0:49:06
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Is this a good move for Graham then? Yes. On the face of it,
0:49:09 > 0:49:16short-term would say, what is he doing.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20You weigh up club positions against club sizes? Of course. Short-term
0:49:20 > 0:49:25Stevenage are flying. Preston are starting to get a few results of
0:49:25 > 0:49:29late. Ultimately I think long-term, Preston are a bigger club. With all
0:49:29 > 0:49:35due respect, as I say, over a period of time, you would expect
0:49:35 > 0:49:40them to come out. Let's round off the rest of League
0:49:40 > 0:49:50One, starting with arguably the game at Hillsborough. The Sheffield
0:49:50 > 0:49:55
0:49:56 > 0:50:02Wednesday played the leaders Day as third placed Sheffield
0:50:02 > 0:50:06Wednesday looked to close the gap on Charlton. Plenty to chew on in
0:50:06 > 0:50:12the post match analysis. Having survived this scare, a free kick
0:50:12 > 0:50:17from Jackson had Powell dreaming of a crucial win on his first
0:50:17 > 0:50:21anniversary in charge. His ninth of the campaign proved to be the
0:50:21 > 0:50:27different. Wright-Phillips could have made sure. No matter, the lead
0:50:27 > 0:50:32is seven points clear of third. Jackson, my skipper came up with
0:50:32 > 0:50:35the goods. It was a fantastic piece of skill.
0:50:35 > 0:50:41Top quality free kick. He's been missing from our side for a number
0:50:41 > 0:50:51of weeks through injury. He's my skipper. He scores from mid-field.
0:50:51 > 0:50:51
0:50:51 > 0:50:57He's done it for us today. Wednesday's loss was United's gain.
0:50:57 > 0:51:06The blades put a four-point gap between themselves and their rivals.
0:51:06 > 0:51:15The shakers held their own before Cresswell grabbed the opener. 4,000
0:51:15 > 0:51:21fans made the trip across the Pennines and witnessed Evan's 13th
0:51:21 > 0:51:31goal in 12 games. Second place in League One, cemented, next up for
0:51:31 > 0:51:33
0:51:33 > 0:51:39the Blades is a trip to Charlton. Huddersfield had five players
0:51:39 > 0:51:45involved in a car accident after a match on Friday. Close to the end
0:51:45 > 0:51:52he clinched a victory which saw the men move up to third. On the end of
0:51:52 > 0:51:58fellow sub's Delamarthy's cross. Unknown with just four minutes to
0:51:58 > 0:52:05spare. Since Paul's been the manager, they
0:52:05 > 0:52:11have always been tight affairs, the games between the two clubs. We had
0:52:11 > 0:52:17to stick to the end. It is great to have playersen the bench who can
0:52:17 > 0:52:22make contributions like the lads have. The focus match was on Walker,
0:52:22 > 0:52:29whose 530th appearance for the club, breaking the record held Biharry
0:52:29 > 0:52:38son. Perhaps the landmark occasion could inspire Walsall for a win.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42Donaldson did his best to take his share of the headlines.
0:52:42 > 0:52:51Nicholls tested the reflexes of Moore.
0:52:52 > 0:52:58Walker can celebrate his special day with a clean sheet.
0:52:58 > 0:53:03Notts County made a terrific start at Bournemouth.
0:53:03 > 0:53:08The home team was back on terms as this shot was parried into the path
0:53:08 > 0:53:15of Morgan. If he felt justified milking the
0:53:15 > 0:53:18applause for the tap-in, imagine what Hughes might have done if his
0:53:18 > 0:53:23eye-catching effort went in at the other end!
0:53:23 > 0:53:32The rest went wrong. After the break, more dazzling footwork had
0:53:32 > 0:53:42the defenders bewitched. The perfect way for the boss to
0:53:42 > 0:53:53
0:53:53 > 0:54:03celebrate his contract being the last outing. One of the new
0:54:03 > 0:54:03
0:54:03 > 0:54:07faces is Josh Walker. They have made a hapbt of losing
0:54:07 > 0:54:15Leeds this season. Woods had a penalty appeal which
0:54:15 > 0:54:22was waved away. They thought they had survived a first half scare.
0:54:22 > 0:54:27Gilespie was brought down by Nolan. The referee had no alternative.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32He took the kick himself. He levelled things before the half
0:54:32 > 0:54:42an hour mark. Colchester are unbeaten against
0:54:42 > 0:54:43
0:54:43 > 0:54:53sides in the bottom half. Scunthorpe deserved their point. It
0:54:53 > 0:55:00
0:55:00 > 0:55:06might have been more. Robertson as a bonding exercise. He hoped to
0:55:07 > 0:55:11put it to good use by getting to know his players better.
0:55:11 > 0:55:16Exeter are proving hard to beat on their own patch.
0:55:16 > 0:55:22Scoring goals is a problem for the team, they failed to hit the target
0:55:22 > 0:55:26in almost half of their matches. This one looked destined to finish
0:55:26 > 0:55:36goalless. Swinney might have pinched it late
0:55:36 > 0:55:38
0:55:38 > 0:55:48on. It proved to be one of those hard to crack. Before half time,
0:55:48 > 0:56:24
0:56:24 > 0:56:31the break through. Moony nipping in the win in seven did not look
0:56:31 > 0:56:39likely. He has only been back in Somerset for its six days. The
0:56:39 > 0:56:49manager described Joe Edwards as the rot Fila who could marked line
0:56:49 > 0:56:49
0:56:49 > 0:56:56a Messi. The feel-good factor played a part in the defeat of
0:56:56 > 0:57:05Tranmere. There was good fortune in dealing with this effort. The 4000
0:57:05 > 0:57:11strong crowd turned out for Johnson's homecoming. The crowd was
0:57:11 > 0:57:17sent home happy by Andrew Williams. He converted the cross by Ryan
0:57:17 > 0:57:23Dixons for a much deserved victory. We will talk about yokel in the
0:57:23 > 0:57:33second. It is the first time they have come away with all three
0:57:33 > 0:57:33
0:57:33 > 0:57:38points. 28 minutes to go and 1 up. It is a fantastic finish. We can
0:57:38 > 0:57:43associate him with this because we have seen him do it before.
0:57:43 > 0:57:52Sheffield Wednesday have not suffered a defeat all season. To be
0:57:52 > 0:57:58able to see the game out, that is a real statement. That was a
0:57:58 > 0:58:05comprehensive win for Sheffield Wednesday. Another win for them
0:58:05 > 0:58:10this time. Eight wins in nine this time. They are keeping up the
0:58:10 > 0:58:16pressure. It is turning out to be a great race at the top of the
0:58:16 > 0:58:25division. They are at Charlton next week. They have be striker in form.
0:58:25 > 0:58:32Someone like that can win a game of football. Ted Evans cost �3 million
0:58:32 > 0:58:36from Manchester City. We saw Huddersfield sneak a victory over
0:58:36 > 0:58:45Oldham. You have to do all you can as a striker at her despair have to
0:58:45 > 0:58:52get the manager noticing you. -- Huddersfield. You have to look
0:58:52 > 0:58:57after yourself. He has done his bit. You cannot rely entirely on Jordan
0:58:58 > 0:59:07rose to win the games of football. Many congratulations to Jimmy
0:59:07 > 0:59:15Walker, the goalkeeper at Walsall. We saw it her. Not bad for a
0:59:15 > 0:59:20goalkeeper. -- we saw it there. Good luck to him. And he has a
0:59:20 > 0:59:23fantastic record. On to League Two now, which is coming to the boil
0:59:23 > 0:59:26nicely as we enter the second half of the season. With just one point
0:59:26 > 0:59:36separating the top three, we start with joint leaders Crawley, who

0:59:55 > 1:00:03
1:00:03 > 1:00:09boss this week. A dream start for of Northampton. There was a pre-
1:00:09 > 1:00:19match claim it could be a testing trip. Southend hit back just before
1:00:19 > 1:00:21
1:00:21 > 1:00:31the break. That strike looked to be enough to send the teams in to the
1:00:31 > 1:00:41interval at all-square. West Brom restored the advantage. They held
1:00:41 > 1:00:50on to that lead until midway through the second half. That
1:00:50 > 1:01:00emphatic finish squared be game up at 2-2. Michael Jacobs went her --
1:01:00 > 1:01:01
1:01:01 > 1:01:07went close to putting the host in the lead. The Frenchman appeared
1:01:07 > 1:01:15for the first time since being sent off in the Cup last month. The home
1:01:15 > 1:01:20side switched off again four minutes later. That finished off
1:01:20 > 1:01:24the Northampton challenge. They are left propping up the table.
1:01:24 > 1:01:29Southend are looking down on everyone else. A second at the
1:01:29 > 1:01:35death made the scoreline look convincing. We did not defend the
1:01:35 > 1:01:40corner right. We were a bit unlucky in the fact we hit the crossbar.
1:01:40 > 1:01:46The goalkeeper made an outstanding save. This is what happens. You
1:01:46 > 1:01:50have to deal with it. We would just chasing our tails. In the second
1:01:50 > 1:01:55half we have come out and responded well. We had three great chances
1:01:55 > 1:02:01before the penalty to get back into it. We thought it was not going to
1:02:01 > 1:02:08be our day. Cheltenham prepared for this one with a five-day trip to
1:02:09 > 1:02:18the Algarve. Jimmy Spencer looked like he was still reclining. Mark
1:02:19 > 1:02:22
1:02:22 > 1:02:30Yates says the spirit in his cab could not be better. -- Camp.
1:02:30 > 1:02:38Mohamed caught the eye at White Hart Lane Foster he settled things
1:02:38 > 1:02:48here. They have made it seven wins out of nine. The Rotherham boss was
1:02:48 > 1:02:49
1:02:49 > 1:02:56furious with his side's first-half display against Swindon. Inside 60
1:02:56 > 1:03:04seconds they were sitting pretty. Richie got a second. That was
1:03:04 > 1:03:14brilliantly taken. The home side were back in contention after the
1:03:14 > 1:03:18
1:03:18 > 1:03:24restart. The double from Ritchie was enough for the Robins. They
1:03:24 > 1:03:31edge ever closer to the top three. You have to go back to March last
1:03:31 > 1:03:41year to find Shrewsbury's first defeat on home soil. From the
1:03:41 > 1:03:47
1:03:47 > 1:03:57resulting corner, Graham Turner's team ended on top. The gills poss
1:03:57 > 1:04:04
1:04:04 > 1:04:14expected much better. Three minutes from time, they blasted in a second.
1:04:14 > 1:04:15
1:04:15 > 1:04:21Crewe recorded a first ever league when at Oxford. The substitute
1:04:21 > 1:04:28struck in the 89th minute. Oxford got their first defeat in seven. A

1:04:33 > 1:04:38any lads. He does not know them very well and what we are doing. I
1:04:38 > 1:04:44put him on to give us some fresh legs in the middle. He got in on
1:04:44 > 1:04:52the end of some which is better. The former Doncaster pass has been
1:04:52 > 1:04:57helping Kyle Fletcher cut his teeth in management. -- Doncaster poss.
1:04:57 > 1:05:07That strike showed there was plenty of hope for a club that has been in
1:05:07 > 1:05:15
1:05:16 > 1:05:21the bottom two since August. Mick life tough. Once they equalised
1:05:21 > 1:05:29with 17 minutes to play, they had the chance to test these strugglers
1:05:29 > 1:05:39nerve. Burton slipped to eight third straight defeats. There was
1:05:39 > 1:05:43
1:05:43 > 1:05:49an 89th minute penalty. This game got the go-ahead despite parts of
1:05:49 > 1:05:55the pitch being frozen. This headache gave Accrington an idea of
1:05:55 > 1:06:02what was coming their way. There are 10 match unbeaten when has seen
1:06:02 > 1:06:09them move within touching distance of the play-off places apple stuck
1:06:09 > 1:06:15-- places. On the stroke of half- time, Mark Hughes doubled the
1:06:15 > 1:06:22advantage. The Accrington boss had no complaints body by not outcome.
1:06:22 > 1:06:30This was a big boost for the survival hopes of Bonet. They have
1:06:30 > 1:06:37moved five points clear of trouble. -- Bonet. With an FA Cup replay at
1:06:37 > 1:06:44Bolton looming come at Macclesfield mines may have been elsewhere at
1:06:44 > 1:06:51Torquay. There was a selective loss of concentration. Colin Daniel was
1:06:51 > 1:06:59left to reflect upon a change in fortune. Previously only Southend
1:06:59 > 1:07:06had won their this season. Mark Ellis was on target. Eight World

1:07:30 > 1:07:40play with his ankle strapped up. They were in front on the hour.
1:07:40 > 1:07:47This match was all about that for Nani. Four minutes from time, they
1:07:47 > 1:07:53appeared to have a point. -- all about that will stop after the
1:07:54 > 1:08:01effort was blocked and got stuck in the mad, they restored the lead.
1:08:01 > 1:08:11Just a minute of the regular 90 to go. Morecambe produced a goal that
1:08:11 > 1:08:19
1:08:19 > 1:08:26was the polar opposite. They had who slipped to another defeat
1:08:26 > 1:08:32against a backdrop of financial struggle. They took the lead after
1:08:32 > 1:08:39half an hour. The Dons were desperate to end their own losing
1:08:39 > 1:08:45street. They had three successive losses on the road. They'd squeezed
1:08:45 > 1:08:53in the level or four minutes before the interval. Mickey Adams was
1:08:53 > 1:09:00happy with his side's display. There would work deny it Louis
1:09:00 > 1:09:06darts. He is presiding over his worst run as manager. There was a
1:09:06 > 1:09:16protest by the club's board. A fabulous finish clinched maximum
1:09:16 > 1:09:23
1:09:23 > 1:09:28holding one's nerve against fellow strugglers. Hereford can breathe a
1:09:28 > 1:09:35little easier having completed a double against Dagenham & Redbridge

1:09:45 > 1:09:54
1:09:54 > 1:10:00chance of the first half. Desperate defending prevented another player
1:10:00 > 1:10:09getting a share of the spoils. They have breathing space above the
1:10:09 > 1:10:15relegation zone. The fans of Southend need no introduction to
1:10:15 > 1:10:20the Frenchman. He is never far away from the headlines. He dropped a
1:10:20 > 1:10:25fridge on his toes this week. He did not fracture it but scored a
1:10:25 > 1:10:34couple of goals in a fantastic comeback against Northampton.
1:10:34 > 1:10:41was a brave header. It is fantastic. It is amazing what you can do when
1:10:41 > 1:10:48you are playing well. You can get away with a multitude. Lawrie
1:10:48 > 1:10:53Sanchez still maintains the game should not have gone ahead at
1:10:53 > 1:10:59Accrington. They desperately needed this. If it had not gone ahead,
1:10:59 > 1:11:05they would be just two points off relegation. It was a fantastic win.
1:11:05 > 1:11:15They have been in good form. They are a decent side at home. It was a
1:11:15 > 1:11:16
1:11:16 > 1:11:21good result for Bonet. The manager was desperate to get a result. He
1:11:21 > 1:11:25brought in a club legend. You felt like they had got to the stage
1:11:25 > 1:11:31where they had gone as far as they could go. Sometimes you need a
1:11:31 > 1:11:37fresh face in the dressing room to reinforce the idea that we are good
1:11:37 > 1:11:41enough to be here. That is what he has done. We should mention
1:11:42 > 1:11:44Cheltenham who are unbeaten in 10. Right, well let's see take a look
1:11:45 > 1:11:47at the latest league tables in the NPower Football League. In League
1:11:48 > 1:11:50Two, Southend are back on top for the first time since November.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53Cheltenham are level on points with Paul Sturrock's men and Crawley
1:11:53 > 1:11:57drop down to third. Swindon and Shrewsbury both had good wins and
1:11:57 > 1:11:59pull clear of Oxford and Gillingham who both lost. Plymouth are off the
1:11:59 > 1:12:02bottom and are replaced by Northampton. Hereford's win at
1:12:02 > 1:12:06Dagenham sees them four points clear of the bottom three, who are
1:12:06 > 1:12:09all on 21 points. Barnet also getting that good win at Accrington.
1:12:09 > 1:12:12In NPower League One, Charlton bounced back to winning ways after
1:12:12 > 1:12:15their FA Cup defeat at Fulham last week with an important win at
1:12:15 > 1:12:17Hillsborough. Sheffield United are now four points clear of their city
1:12:17 > 1:12:20rivals and Huddersfield's late winner move them above Gary
1:12:20 > 1:12:24Megson's side. Stevenage move back in to the play-offs after their
1:12:24 > 1:12:27great win at Rochdale. The bottom eight remains unchanged but
1:12:27 > 1:12:32Yeovil's late late winner brings them level on points with Walsall
1:12:32 > 1:12:35and Scunthorpe. In fact Yeovil are the only side in the bottom half to
1:12:35 > 1:12:39win at the weekend. As for the Championship, well Southampton and
1:12:39 > 1:12:42West Ham both secured three points on the road and move four points
1:12:42 > 1:12:45clear as Cardiff and Middlesbrough both stuttered. Reading, Hull,
1:12:45 > 1:12:50Birmingham and Derby all won and there is only three points between
1:12:50 > 1:12:54fifth and 11th. It has not been a good day for the sides at the
1:12:54 > 1:12:57bottom of the Championship. None of the bottom five could muster a goal
1:12:57 > 1:13:00between them and only Doncaster picked up a point. Barnsley were
1:13:00 > 1:13:03the only side in the bottom to win on Saturday. Right, before we sign
1:13:03 > 1:13:07off, the usual reminder. If you have missed any of tonight's goals,
1:13:07 > 1:13:12we are on the red button and on Freeview till midday on Sunday. It
