:07:13. > :07:18.what to do. We send them out there, they are doing a fantastic job for
:07:18. > :07:24.our football club. Reading's dream run continues, they won 43 points
:07:24. > :07:28.from the last available 48. Brian mentioned it there, they have
:07:28. > :07:33.become ruthlessly I efficient in certain games, most in theibly
:07:33. > :07:39.recently? They have. -- noticibly recently? They have. I went to
:07:39. > :07:44.Brighton the other day. They are very effective. Brighton missed an
:07:44. > :07:50.opportunity. They hit the bar, a deflected free-kick. Southampton
:07:50. > :07:55.did the same. They missed it. Reading scored, another chance,
:07:55. > :07:59.they missed it and Reading scored. Over the period of those two games,
:07:59. > :08:03.second best. They got two vital wins. What an impact Le Fondre
:08:03. > :08:08.makes from the bench? Fantastic. They have a threat going forward.
:08:08. > :08:13.No matter how much pressure they soak up, Roberts and Hunt are a
:08:13. > :08:19.good partnership, willing runners. When the game flattens out, people
:08:19. > :08:23.become tired, you bring someone like that on who is a fantastic
:08:23. > :08:29.finisher, two wonderful goals he scored. Hendrie when he scores
:08:29. > :08:32.goals he has won them a lot of points this year. He certainly has.
:08:32. > :08:34.Now, the race for the Championship play-offs is coming to the boil
:08:34. > :08:36.nicely, with Brighton's dream of back-to-back promotions still very
:08:37. > :08:39.much alive. They began the day just two points
:08:40. > :08:43.off the play-offs and were looking to add to West Ham's stuttering
:08:43. > :08:45.home form, with the Hammers failing to win any of their last seven at
:08:45. > :08:48.Upton Park. So with Southampton losing on
:08:48. > :08:51.Friday, could Sam Allardyce's men find that elusive win to close the
:08:51. > :08:55.gap at the top? gap at the top?
:08:55. > :09:02.Martin Fisher was there. West Ham the automatic promotion game has
:09:02. > :09:12.almost faded and died. There cannot be any further slippups. Brighton

:09:46. > :09:52.need the points to too to squeeze Brighton under immediate pressure

:10:12. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:20.caused it to spin towards Brezovan. No-one has picked up Vaz Te. He
:10:20. > :10:25.might hit this. Too much power. What a strike Vaz Te. That was like
:10:25. > :10:33.a bullet. A screamer from the Posh Portuguese, inside three minutes,
:10:33. > :10:39.West Ham are off to a dream start. 30 yards out, Brezovan never smelt
:10:39. > :10:49.it. It's threw his hands before he got his hands up. 1-0, West Ham
:10:49. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:07.delivery. It's deep. Man over. Nolan's effort brilliantly saved by
:11:07. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:22.Brezovan. West Ham could be two in strong. Nolan got a head on. It
:11:22. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:31.Taylor. Nolan denied again. It's all one way traffic. Brezovan
:11:31. > :11:36.pulled off a terrific save there to keep out Kevin Nolan. Here is Nolan
:11:36. > :11:42.charging through the centre. O'Neill with so much time. In goes
:11:42. > :11:48.Vaz Te, it's 2-0, West Ham. Brezovan beaten again. West Ham
:11:48. > :11:55.United two up, seven-and-a-half minutes in. Vaz Te has them both.
:11:55. > :12:00.Two inside seven-and-a-half minutes. Even the most ardent West Ham
:12:00. > :12:10.wouldn't of believed that. Vaz Te continues his red hot form in front
:12:10. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:31.goal for Nolan. Ten-and-a-half on the watch. It's 3-0 West Ham.
:12:31. > :12:38.Brighton have not turned up. This is already embarrassing. Look at
:12:38. > :12:44.the marking here as Taylor just holds up the centre, Tomkins has
:12:44. > :12:54.got in behind Painter, more intent on stopping him than heading it
:12:54. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:13.away. It came off a West Ham head Brighton appealled that the it went
:13:13. > :13:23.across the goal-line. The referee said it hadn't done. Green is
:13:23. > :13:29.tested at last. Vaz Te wants to hit this again, and why not! This time
:13:29. > :13:38.Brezovan gets his fists in the way. Vaz Te warming the knuckles of
:13:38. > :13:46.Brezovan again. Vaz Te, no-one ahead of him. A lovely ball.
:13:46. > :13:51.Lansbury in for number four! What a miss. Brighton completely ripped
:13:51. > :14:01.apart. West Ham United will be happy enough with a 3-0 lead at

:14:12. > :14:18.sent him off his scent. Rolls on to Cole, who is onside. Look at the
:14:18. > :14:23.room he's got? That's the target, Brezovan thought about coming. That,
:14:23. > :14:29.surely, is a foul. No, says the referee. Vaz Te, goal, it doesn't
:14:29. > :14:34.matter anyway. What a goal from Vaz Te. That's the hat-trick. While
:14:34. > :14:39.most of the colours in blue persuasion are appealing for a
:14:39. > :14:47.penalty, Vaz Te played on, and to what effect. What a finish by Vaz
:14:47. > :14:53.Te. Cole with the header back, Lansbury was fouled. Vaz Te played
:14:53. > :15:03.on while others didn't. What a finish. Deadly by Vaz Te. West Ham

:15:18. > :15:24.stays down despite desperate appeals from the Brighton players.
:15:24. > :15:33.Carlton Cole will claim it, but it took a wicked, wicked deflection.

:17:19. > :17:25.bad day, all we were not strong enough. Ricardo Vaz Te, what a job
:17:25. > :17:32.he has done for you since he arrived. And what a strike. I know.
:17:32. > :17:36.We have picked up the Golden nugget now, I think that 500 grand and

:17:41. > :17:45.came to Bolton when he was 16, he has grown up and matured, he has
:17:45. > :17:53.got the bit between his teeth, and the quality of his goals are there
:17:53. > :17:57.for all to see. The third goal, what a finish. Yes, I tried the one
:17:57. > :18:06.before and didn't hit it quite right. So I thought I would attack
:18:06. > :18:11.What a massive boost, not only for West Ham's confidence but also
:18:11. > :18:16.their goal difference. This wasn't just about the actual win, it was
:18:16. > :18:20.about the goals as well. It has got them back in touching distance. No
:18:20. > :18:27.longer will Southampton have the three-point advantage and the goal

:18:32. > :18:35.They got the goals when they were dominating. They have been in
:18:35. > :18:45.situations where they haven't made the most of it, but they got at

:18:48. > :18:53.watching it, it could have been five after 20 minutes. They were so
:18:53. > :18:59.superior. They really just didn't allow Brighton to play their
:18:59. > :19:04.natural game. Vaz Te isn't the most expensive of the strikers. But he
:19:04. > :19:10.is clearly a man in form. He played up front today, I don't think I
:19:10. > :19:20.have seen that happen. They played with two windows, quite expensive,
:19:20. > :19:20.
:19:20. > :19:30.normally they have gone 4-3-3, but I think he simplified it today, 4-
:19:30. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:40.4-2, had he said, we will get after A quick word for Brighton. Is that
:19:40. > :19:45.it now for them? You are asking for them and Middlesbrough to lose
:19:45. > :19:53.games, I think it is going to be tough, but it has also been a
:19:53. > :19:58.fantastic first year in the Championship for them. Many clubs
:19:58. > :20:08.were still in with a shout of making the play-offs today. A one

:20:13. > :20:17.in each of their last four games, head of the visit of Bristol City.
:20:17. > :20:22.Those. Have helped them almost cement their place in the play-offs.
:20:22. > :20:28.City, despite battling relegation, were also in form, looking for a
:20:28. > :20:32.third successive win. They got a deserved lead from Stephen Pearson.
:20:32. > :20:37.They have found goals hard to come by on their travels, scoring two in
:20:37. > :20:41.the last eight prior to this match. But Jon Stead's spectacular goal
:20:41. > :20:49.doubled their tally for the year and put them on course for three
:20:49. > :20:56.point. Birmingham had only failed to score in six of their previous
:20:56. > :21:00.42 league matches. Marlon King's deflected shot kept them in it. In
:21:00. > :21:10.injury to their keeper sought, and will start in goal for Birmingham,
:21:10. > :21:14.and his save kept his side in the match. So could Bristol City win at
:21:14. > :21:21.St Andrews for the first time since 1993? No, because Nicolas Zigic
:21:21. > :21:26.equalised with half-an-hour left. Neither manager happy with the draw.
:21:26. > :21:30.It wasn't our best performance in that first half. We were really
:21:30. > :21:34.grateful for getting the goal just before half-time. They have a
:21:34. > :21:39.fantastic home record, they have only lost once all season, so
:21:39. > :21:48.they're a tough nut to crack, but we felt we could win the game, I
:21:48. > :21:51.felt we got ourselves in a position City Ground a couple of years ago
:21:51. > :21:58.saw Blackpool complete her famous play-off victory. A repeat
:21:58. > :22:08.performance would have done nicely for them. If only. The Ayr keeper
:22:08. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:11.is one of four survivors from that match. Blackpool only troubled the
:22:11. > :22:16.goal once in the first half. The away side might have snatched all
:22:16. > :22:24.the points when Gary Taylor fracture stole a yard. Not a
:22:24. > :22:30.classic, Ben Foster -- not a classic of them. There has been a
:22:30. > :22:33.lot of pressure on for six months, for all of us. We have got
:22:33. > :22:39.ourselves close to the finish line double we have to get our noses
:22:39. > :22:49.across it. There was a couple of occasions where I was excited with

:22:51. > :22:55.a few twists and turns, but he Barnsley in the last play-off
:22:55. > :23:05.position, and despite going six games unbeaten, five of them have

:23:12. > :23:17.been draws. There have first pick - their 11th away draws into wins has
:23:17. > :23:23.caught -- cost them a chance of automatic promotion. But their
:23:23. > :23:28.play-off hopes are still intact. Good day emulate Swansea? It was
:23:28. > :23:32.always going to be at battle before the game is able to be played, and
:23:32. > :23:38.that is what happened in the first half. Second half, we got the ball
:23:38. > :23:43.down, kept possession, and we got a winner. I thought Babak four
:23:43. > :23:46.defended admirably, and we ended up with lots of shots on target. It
:23:46. > :23:50.was a good day. Without a win in eight,
:23:50. > :23:54.Middlesbrough had slipped from automatic promotion contenders to
:23:54. > :24:03.stuttering play-off hopefuls. But they almost took the lead early on
:24:03. > :24:10.in this one. Both teams were creating chances, but the visitors
:24:10. > :24:20.went close again, not mine's free kick hitting the woodwork. -- not

:24:26. > :24:31.point. The Boro manager Tony Mowbray brought on Curtis Main a
:24:31. > :24:34.later on, and it proved a masterstroke. This pass was
:24:34. > :24:39.measured perfectly, but you still have plenty to do before

:28:04. > :28:11.rest of the Championship, we start Monday left Coventry four points
:28:11. > :28:16.from safety and facing next season in the 30th of English Bible. They
:28:17. > :28:26.thought they had scored after 10 minutes. Coventry claimed of the
:28:26. > :28:31.ball hadn't crossed the line. Burnley keeper Lee Grant then
:28:31. > :28:35.frustrated them. The home side promptly took the lead, and it was
:28:35. > :28:41.no surprise when Charlie Austin scored his 6th goal in the last
:28:42. > :28:48.five games. Despite their position, Coventry's recent form has been
:28:48. > :28:53.encouraging, and a triple substitution paid dividends.
:28:53. > :29:02.Neither manager was so despite with a draw. Scrappy game, from Watford
:29:02. > :29:06.of view. -- my point of beef. We didn't kick on from the early goal.
:29:06. > :29:11.I think a draw is probably a fair result. We had some great chances
:29:11. > :29:17.in the first half. The keeper made some great saves. We had a header
:29:17. > :29:27.over the line which wasn't given. That was disappointing, at the time,
:29:27. > :29:35.
:29:35. > :29:44.I thought the keeper had saved it, position, Ipswich against Crystal
:29:44. > :29:54.Palace was a meeting of two teams heading for a stress-free finale.
:29:54. > :29:56.
:29:56. > :30:06.Crystal Palace opened the scoring. There would be just one more goal
:30:06. > :30:16.in this match and it came from Ipswich. It was good, and it had to

:30:25. > :30:29.The Warnock Europe at Leeds has hardly started with a bang. He said
:30:29. > :30:36.it team under his management would never play so badly again and he
:30:37. > :30:41.almost had the proof early on. Darren Ferguson's side were looking
:30:41. > :30:49.for their first away win of the year. And they got off to a good
:30:49. > :30:57.start, finding a route through the Leeds defence. Warnock had promised
:30:57. > :31:06.changes and one of them was a recall for Billy Paynter. He could
:31:06. > :31:09.hardly miss after this gift by the Peterborough keeper. That time the
:31:09. > :31:18.post just before the break ensured that they started the second half
:31:18. > :31:22.in the same manner. Ross McCormick on the scoresheet this time.
:31:22. > :31:32.Suddenly the belief was back and Ross McCormick was at it again and

:32:57. > :33:03.teams on the brink of relegation. For Doncaster is anything less the
:33:03. > :33:10.win against Portsmouth, and they were down. And they got off to a

:33:15. > :33:20.depended on achieving a better result than Bristol City. But
:33:21. > :33:30.moments later they were reeling. Fabien Robert was on hand to score
:33:31. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :33:41.his first goal. The manager made an early change. The team began to
:33:41. > :33:48.show signs of fight. Scot Alan with this warning shot off what was to
:33:48. > :33:58.follow. The sparks soon began to fly. The referee decided that this
:33:58. > :34:00.
:34:00. > :34:07.was inside the area. Rovers were incensed. Greg Halford then gave
:34:07. > :34:17.his team vital hope. And the Portsmouth fans at last had
:34:17. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:38.something to celebrate. Adam Al but not for long. James Coppinger
:34:38. > :34:45.put the hosts ahead once more. At this stage Rovers were going down
:34:45. > :34:52.and treading Portsmouth with them. But there was more drama to come.
:34:52. > :35:01.Jason Pierce got a header. Dave Kitson with his arms raised, made
:35:01. > :35:07.it 3 - all. Time remained for one final twist. Portsmouth launched a
:35:07. > :35:13.final attack deep in stoppage time. Marko Futacs hit the target for a
:35:13. > :35:17.famous victory. It is over for famous victory. It is over for
:35:17. > :35:23.Doncaster, back to League One after four years. I just wanted to come
:35:23. > :35:28.along and enjoy the football and to a great extent I did. But in the
:35:28. > :35:32.second half, the performance of the referee just incensed me. All four
:35:32. > :35:38.goals from Portsmouth were debatable. But for the long
:35:38. > :35:43.suffering Portsmouth supporters, some welcome cheer.
:35:43. > :35:52.I think the fans are the ones that are always going to be fair, they
:35:52. > :35:56.just keep turning up. And I hope we get the opportunity to be built.
:35:56. > :36:06.Doncaster were relegated at the end of the day and on a sour note. And
:36:06. > :36:15.you have some sympathy? I was not too happy about any of the goals.
:36:15. > :36:25.The second one was a handball. This one is a handball as well. He puts
:36:25. > :36:25.
:36:25. > :36:34.that in with his left arm. They're complaining about a push. And when
:36:34. > :36:41.you looked at that gain, probably incidents did conspire against them.
:36:41. > :36:51.But that is not the game that has ultimately put them down.
:36:51. > :36:51.
:36:52. > :36:57.There will be a lot of rebuilding. The policy has not worked. You want
:36:57. > :37:06.to let the manager manage. But when you brilliant short term players,
:37:06. > :37:09.you do not get the results. Points at this stage are not much
:37:09. > :37:13.use to teams who are struggling. Leeds had their first win at home
:37:13. > :37:19.under Neil Warnock. And the player who scored has not really had a
:37:19. > :37:29.look in. He is a decent player, he came from
:37:29. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:38.Swindon. He has had injuries and bits and pieces. It is difficult to
:37:38. > :37:42.get a foothold. He will want to make some kind of long-term
:37:42. > :37:44.impression. As for League One, after leading the pack for what
:37:44. > :37:45.seems like years, a win for Charlton could see them finally
:37:45. > :37:49.celebrate promotion to the Championship. Appropriately, Chris
:37:50. > :37:52.Powell's high-fliers took the plane to Carlisle. But for the
:37:52. > :38:02.celebrations to begin, the Addicks needed Sheffield Wednesday to drop
:38:02. > :38:10.
:38:10. > :38:12.finishing in the top two were not entirely resting on a win at
:38:12. > :38:19.Colchester but largely dependent you felt ahead of kick off. Shortly
:38:19. > :38:21.after which they were chasing the game. U's boss john Ward said he
:38:21. > :38:27.was delighted with the "annoyance factor" of Ian Henderson who put
:38:27. > :38:29.them ahead. Centre back Miguel Angel llera's third goal in as many
:38:29. > :38:32.games had the Owls level after the break, when Chris Lines' delivery
:38:32. > :38:35.evaded all but the Spaniard at the far post. Owls' boss Dave Jones
:38:35. > :38:37.said luck deserted his side as they went in search of the winner. Gary
:38:37. > :38:40.Madine went close with this header. And then Jermaine Johnson's
:38:40. > :38:42.trickery almost conjured up a brilliant finish. But as Jones
:38:42. > :38:52.added, Wednesday didn't offer quite enough and so their automatic
:38:52. > :39:04.
:39:04. > :39:06.promotion hopes look slimmer. That draw for Sheffield Wednesday,
:39:06. > :39:08.meant a Charlton win would see the leaders promoted - no formality
:39:08. > :39:18.against Carlisle. Liam Noble so close to putting the Cumbrians in
:39:18. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:25.front. The keeper did even better when Johnnie Jackson's corner
:39:25. > :39:27.picked out Yann Kermorgant. Chris Powell's men had the edge in the
:39:27. > :39:29.second half - a fact finally reflected on the scoresheet with
:39:29. > :39:31.fourteen minutes left. Wright- Phillips poaching the goal which
:39:31. > :39:34.secured Charlton's return to the second tier after three years away
:39:34. > :39:38.and took their points tally on the road this season to an impressive
:39:38. > :39:42.49. Overall, they're just six points shy of a century - which may
:39:42. > :39:46.yet be achieved. For Powell, who overhauled the squad completely in
:39:46. > :39:52.the summer, the season's been a the summer, the season's been a
:39:52. > :39:58.triumph. It is a fantastic day for the
:39:58. > :40:03.players and supporters. We have had it tough in the last few years. A
:40:03. > :40:09.small step forward in history. Days like this do not come around too
:40:09. > :40:16.often. I am emotional, it is my mother's birthday as well. I think
:40:16. > :40:20.mother's birthday as well. I think it was meant to be.
:40:20. > :40:26.And chance for Sheffield United to make a significant breakthrough in
:40:26. > :40:31.the race for that second spot. But they suffered a setback when Leyton
:40:31. > :40:41.Orient went into the lead. That proved just a minor irritation for
:40:41. > :40:42.
:40:42. > :40:47.a team who scored five in the week and a brimming with confidence.
:40:47. > :40:57.It was a real blow for Leyton Orient, hoping to avoid a 5th
:40:57. > :40:57.
:40:57. > :41:05.defeat in a row. By now Danny Wilson's men were firmly in the
:41:05. > :41:14.groove. And Orient's chances of recovery looked slim at best.
:41:14. > :41:23.United were intent on making that extra man count.
:41:23. > :41:26.The team went four points clear of their city rivals.
:41:26. > :41:36.Easter was horrible for Huddersfield, and wrecking their
:41:36. > :41:38.
:41:38. > :41:47.automatic promotion hopes. Even Jordan Rhodes could not hit
:41:47. > :41:53.the target, Huddersfield knew it was not going to be their day.
:41:53. > :41:58.Denny near caused chaos with his adventurous run. Huddersfield were
:41:58. > :42:08.left anxious about a dip in form, with the play-offs just around the
:42:08. > :42:12.
:42:12. > :42:16.corner. The Dons got the perfect start.
:42:16. > :42:23.Scunthorpe were a shadow of the team that had gone 10 matches
:42:23. > :42:33.unbeaten. Mark Duffy wasted their best chance in a poor display. Then

:42:34. > :42:42.Karl Robinson's men were well on the way to ending a run of draws.
:42:42. > :42:48.Scunthorpe are not mathematically safe just yet. The dismissal of

:45:19. > :45:25.failed to take this chance. They missed the target. When they did

:45:35. > :45:48.
:45:48. > :45:58.back up their defeat of Wycombe. Ryan Noble had too much room to

:47:15. > :47:20.fourth game running they conceded to Oldhamham. Morais had the
:47:20. > :47:30.freedom of the park before picking his spot. That was the tonic for a
:47:30. > :47:31.
:47:31. > :47:35.team on their five-match losing streak. This ball had the keeper
:47:36. > :47:42.floundering. Beavon got his 23rd of the season. The scores were level
:47:42. > :47:48.at the break. It stayed that way until 12 minutes from the end. Joel
:47:48. > :47:54.Grant unfoxed the Oldham back four to put Wycombe on course for
:47:54. > :48:03.maximum points. There should have been no way back. This challenge
:48:03. > :48:08.put put them on-the-spot. A moment that wasn't taken. Two minutes from
:48:08. > :48:14.the end Robbie Simpson was pulled down by Marvin McCoy. He showed us
:48:14. > :48:24.how it should be done. Wycombe in the bottom four, Oldham six points
:48:24. > :48:26.
:48:26. > :48:36.clear of danger. Rochdale had to win this game to have any hope of

:48:52. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :49:00.took their figures into double figures. With 11 minutes aleft,
:49:00. > :49:05.they were thrown a rubber ring when Adams pulled one back. Two minutes
:49:05. > :49:15.later they were level. Joe Thompson's first goal of the season
:49:15. > :49:18.was this brilliant shot to set up the most unlikely of turn arounds.
:49:18. > :49:24.Akpo Akpo thought he had completed it when this effort came back off
:49:24. > :49:30.the post. So it was was left for Jason Kennedy to grab the winner
:49:30. > :49:35.two minutes from time. We had a couple of chances early on. They
:49:35. > :49:39.got a penalty, rightly so. As we think we are getting on top in the
:49:39. > :49:43.ebb second-half they give us a sucker-punch. They had a couple of
:49:43. > :49:46.chances to extend it and kill the game. We kept going. We knew the
:49:46. > :49:49.players would, they have done it before. Once we got the first goal
:49:49. > :49:55.we went on to win the game. Delighted with the players and
:49:55. > :50:00.Delighted with the players and delighted for the fans. The bottom
:50:00. > :50:05.three survive. Many congratulations to Charlton and Chris Powell to
:50:05. > :50:07.their promotion, they are back in the Championship. They deserve it?
:50:07. > :50:12.the Championship. They deserve it? They have been top since October.
:50:12. > :50:18.Which is difficult in itself to stay there. They have done it
:50:18. > :50:28.brilliantly. They never had a dip this season. They have always
:50:28. > :50:30.
:50:30. > :50:36.maintained that gap. Chris Powell legend as a player. He cemented his
:50:36. > :50:41.name as a manager? Absolutely. I played with Chris, good lad. Think
:50:41. > :50:45.about, it they put a lot of trust and faith in him. Two or three
:50:45. > :50:47.months he had last year didn't go according to plan. He said, we
:50:47. > :50:51.would back you throughout the summer. That hasn't happened the
:50:51. > :50:55.way we imagined. Backed him, got players in. Hit the ground running.
:50:55. > :51:01.Knew what he wanted and what was needed from the two or three months
:51:01. > :51:05.he had last season. Fabulous all year. One automatic promotion place
:51:05. > :51:11.between the two Sheffield clubs. Who blinks first, it was Sheffield
:51:11. > :51:16.Wednesday? It was. Sheffield United went back in the week during
:51:16. > :51:22.Rochdale but won the game. Sheffield Wednesday didn't win
:51:22. > :51:26.today. Potentially, I would imagine, Carlisle is not easy. Brentford
:51:26. > :51:34.isn't easy for Sheffield Wednesday. MK Dons isn't for Sheffield United.
:51:34. > :51:42.They have the four point gap and the goal difference. Leyton Orient
:51:42. > :51:46.they are giving their fans... Undoubtedly. It seems an awful long
:51:46. > :51:50.time ago they were on that magnificent run last year. They
:51:50. > :51:56.have lost their last five. You always get this were a team comes
:51:56. > :52:00.from nowhere, loses a lot of games on the spin and finds itself on
:52:00. > :52:04.trouble. The saving grace is they have Yeovil next week. Wycombe have
:52:04. > :52:09.to go to Charlton. If they win that and spin it around it would give
:52:09. > :52:16.them a six point gap with two to play. The way they are playing, no
:52:16. > :52:24.game is going to be an easy one for them. Some performance for
:52:24. > :52:26.Stevenage. Fantastic. Stevenage. Fantastic.
:52:26. > :52:28.They're the only side in the NPower Football League's three divisions

:52:39. > :52:41.Steve Evan's Rotherham arrived in town. It was the year Margaret
:52:41. > :52:46.Thatcher was to become Prime Minister. The airwaves were filled
:52:46. > :52:54.with the sound of Reunited by Peaches an Herb. Shrewsbury Town
:52:54. > :52:57.supporters were celebrating. Graham Turner had led their club to a 26
:52:58. > :53:02.match unbeaten home run, which would provide the platform for
:53:02. > :53:08.promotion and a ten-year stay in the second tier where they had
:53:08. > :53:13.never ventured before. Graham Turner got the goal. 33 years on,
:53:13. > :53:17.Aston Villa, Wolves and 15 year association with Hereford United
:53:17. > :53:23.including owning the club, Graham Turner is back in the Shrewsbury

:53:27. > :53:32.is third in the table and he is on for managerial promotion. What is
:53:32. > :53:36.the key to management longevity? don't know. Don't you, seriously?
:53:36. > :53:43.Not thought about it? Enjoyment and passion for the game. Luck along
:53:43. > :53:47.the way. Knowledge picked up here and there. There is a an ability in
:53:47. > :53:51.man management as well as the other side of the tactical thing and
:53:51. > :53:56.formations and bringing players in. It's a combination of lots of
:53:56. > :54:02.things. How does working for one of the, sort of, father figures of the
:54:02. > :54:07.game compare to hifg a young buck as a manager? More experience. He
:54:07. > :54:12.has been there and done it. 1500 games as a manager? Ridiculous
:54:12. > :54:15.amount to stay in the game that long. Brilliant for him. He can

:55:20. > :55:26.for the job. They provided me with an toupbt opportunity to speak to
