:00:56. > :01:00.Evening. A busy week in the Football League. Today, Neil
:01:00. > :01:10.Warnock returned to the Football League and a few moments ago but
:01:10. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:21.jeannie macro was given the boot. A new era kicked off against
:01:21. > :01:25.Doncaster. A massive game this afternoon at
:01:25. > :01:32.the City Ground, forest and Coventry squared up to win it three
:01:32. > :01:38.crucial points to stave off relegation.
:01:38. > :01:43.At St Mary's, Southampton new with the leaders not playing, one point
:01:43. > :01:48.against Derby would take them to the top of the Championship.
:01:48. > :01:58.We will bring you a comprehensive round-up of the action in League 1
:01:58. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:03.League 2 is shaping up nicely. We start in West Yorkshire where word
:02:03. > :02:10.quickly spread Neil Warnock was to become the new manager of Leeds
:02:10. > :02:18.United, a remarkable comeback. Neil Warnock was at Elland Road today
:02:18. > :02:26.for a first glimpse of his new 21 years after Neil Warnock turned
:02:26. > :02:32.down the offer to manage Chelsea, and the fans have approved.
:02:32. > :02:39.fantastic track record. Scarborough, Queens Park Rangers, top man for
:02:39. > :02:45.the job. I think it will be good for the club, it will get the best
:02:45. > :02:49.out of the place. I personally think he will do a good job, a very
:02:49. > :02:54.experienced man, the kind of guy we need. But I think we need someone
:02:54. > :02:59.with a bit of passion to come in. To give the players a kick up the
:02:59. > :03:02.backside. Steve and Neil Warnock took their places in the stand for
:03:02. > :03:09.this one are oblivious of the drama which was to follow. Before the
:03:09. > :03:18.game, Neil Warnock said he had one big challenge left in him. There
:03:18. > :03:23.was plenty for him to do at Elland Road. The signs weren't good. A
:03:23. > :03:29.sign of things to come for Rovers, a side which had failed to win four
:03:29. > :03:38.of their last games. Within half- an-hour, they scored. Lonergan
:03:38. > :00:00.could only steer the ball into the path of this strike. Despite a
3603911 > :00:09.half-time appearance from Neil Warnock in the dressing room,
:00:10. > :00:10.
:00:10. > :03:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 219 seconds
:03:49. > :03:53.Rovers continued. Hayter hitting the bar this time. They didn't look
:03:53. > :03:59.like a side at the bottom of the table and it was only a matter of
:03:59. > :04:06.time before they scored again. Bagayoko in the right place. Making
:04:06. > :04:14.it 2-0. Stung into action, a Leeds United went in search of a goal and
:04:14. > :04:19.one minute later they got it. Pugh setting up Townsend who picked his
:04:19. > :04:23.spot perfectly, his first since arriving from Tottenham. Leeds
:04:23. > :04:30.United had a glimmer of hope with half-an-hour to go. They pressed
:04:30. > :04:37.for another, Button reacting well to deny Becchio. Desperate to avoid
:04:38. > :04:44.a third successive league defeat, the pressure told. Snodgrass
:04:44. > :04:51.drilled the ball in for Clayton to fire past Button, 10 minutes to go.
:04:51. > :04:56.In fact, and 90 minutes to YouTube an injury delayed. Leeds United
:04:56. > :05:03.completed a remarkable comeback through Becchio. The game was so
:05:03. > :05:07.tense, fighting broke out in the tunnel after the match. If this is
:05:07. > :05:14.what we can expect from the delighted under Neil Warnock, they
:05:14. > :05:22.will be a must Watch team. Her a dramatic end to the game. One
:05:22. > :05:28.to remember. Neil Warnock saw plenty of spirit from the players.
:05:28. > :05:35.2-0 down. Not a great run. They managed to turn that around, spirit,
:05:35. > :05:41.character, belief to keep going. They have retained that ability to
:05:41. > :05:46.keep going. All eyes are on Neil Warnock that and Road. An
:05:47. > :05:54.interesting one, he saw the good and the Bad of his side. He likes
:05:54. > :06:04.strong characters, he likes to see people stand on their own two feet.
:06:04. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:11.The way I have worked it, his reputation has gone before him. If
:06:11. > :06:15.he had been deceived a bigger name he would still be at QPR. But his
:06:15. > :06:19.reputation worked against him there but it works for him here, he has
:06:19. > :06:24.that role of being very successful at this level, with sides outside
:06:24. > :06:31.the Premiership. If he had been a bigger name, he would still be
:06:31. > :06:37.manager at QPR. Seven promotions. These were the scenes only nine
:06:37. > :06:45.months ago at Loftus Road. His 7th promotion in his career. You can't
:06:45. > :06:55.argue against that. Leeds United are a huge club. When you look at
:06:55. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :07:03.it, they will take the most away fans with them. A lot of the time,
:07:03. > :07:13.Aaron -- they are in the Cup final. Everyone loves playing against them
:07:13. > :07:17.because of the atmosphere their fans generate.
:07:17. > :07:20.The Next up, a crucial game at the City Ground, as two of the sides in
:07:20. > :07:24.the relegation places, Nottingham Forest and Coventry City, met in a
:07:24. > :07:26.game that had real resonance at the bottom of the Championship. There
:07:26. > :07:29.was an added twist this week. Portsmouth's ten-point deduction
:07:29. > :07:33.means they've been dragged back into the heat of a relegation
:07:33. > :07:36.battle. Pompey were on 25 points going into the weekend, the same
:07:36. > :07:40.number as Forest and Coventry. There was even more incentive for
:07:40. > :07:50.the Midlands rivals to win a game. Watched for us at the City Ground

:15:38. > :15:42.they get the young player and McSheffrey. We have seen them
:15:42. > :15:47.punish a few teams. So we're pleased that we did that side of
:15:47. > :15:53.the game well today. The goals have taken care of themselves.
:15:53. > :15:58.tremendous effort again, but when you're in them situations, you have
:15:58. > :16:01.got to press on and get your advantages. I felt we were
:16:01. > :16:06.comfortable and I think if you ask anyone at the game, they will say
:16:06. > :16:12.we held the ball for a long period. When someone runs the whole length
:16:12. > :16:18.of the pitch and we don't lay a glove on them. How high on your
:16:18. > :16:22.list this a goal? I can't remember. People told me I picked it up quite
:16:22. > :16:29.far. All I remember is continuing to run and doing a step over and
:16:29. > :16:35.doing a shot and thankfully it went in. Garath McClearly playing it
:16:35. > :16:40.down. A huge win for Forest. It is about the points now. Yes I think
:16:40. > :16:43.to be fair their performance last week was a starting point. It was
:16:43. > :16:47.the foundation laid down there. I think to be fair there was a bit
:16:47. > :16:51.more tempo. Second half, when the changes were made, they were more
:16:51. > :16:55.positive and they look as if they have a goal in them now. There is
:16:56. > :16:59.more belief. When you're playing sides that can't score goals. It is
:16:59. > :17:04.difficult to go in with the attitude that you believe you can
:17:04. > :17:10.win. But they believe now going forward they are capable of
:17:10. > :17:14.stretching the opposition. A few Fors fans were bemused with Steve
:17:14. > :17:18.Cotterill starting with one up front. They haven't been treated to
:17:18. > :17:24.many goals, but this was one to treasure. Yes this lad was signed
:17:24. > :17:30.three years ago from Bromley. It is a great run. You have got to say
:17:30. > :17:34.and Andy Thorn alluded to it. Nobody got near him. Norwood, I
:17:34. > :17:41.know he is on loan from Manchester United. But you have got to do more.
:17:41. > :17:45.You can see McSheffrey can't goal sierbgsd someone should make a --
:17:45. > :17:50.side, someone should make a challenge. He is going to get to
:17:50. > :17:54.the edge and then he can open himself up and get a shot off. It
:17:55. > :17:59.could have been stopped at source. But a great goal. Coventry are the
:17:59. > :18:03.only side in the Football League away from home. It is looking
:18:03. > :18:08.desperate now? It has looked desperate all season. They have
:18:08. > :18:12.been thrown a lifeline with Portsmouth being deducted ten
:18:12. > :18:16.points. That gap is now, there is four sides together, instead of
:18:16. > :18:21.three and you have the chance of getting out. I don't think we have
:18:21. > :18:26.seen an upturn in form all season. I don't think we have had a clear
:18:26. > :18:32.one. They don't, when they get a good result, it is not followed by
:18:32. > :18:38.two or three good results. That is the problem for them. That vital
:18:38. > :18:45.win for Steve Cotterill meant Portsmouth ended a traumatic week
:18:45. > :18:50.in the bottom three if they dropped points at Barnsley. These are
:18:50. > :18:55.troubled times again for Portsmouth who knead trip to Yorkshire in the
:18:55. > :19:00.knowledge the -- made the trip to Yorkshire that the club was in
:19:00. > :19:04.administration again. The ten point penalty had seen them plunge into a
:19:04. > :19:09.penalty had seen them plunge into a relegation fight. On the pitch
:19:09. > :19:16.Davis thundered a shot against the bar. There wasn't much else to
:19:16. > :19:20.report in an event-free opening period, until Dave Kitson made this
:19:20. > :19:27.challenge on Smith. The referee not impressed, a second yellow and then
:19:27. > :19:34.a red. And Pompey boss, Michael Appleton short of options. He named
:19:34. > :19:40.just three subs, one a keeper and he almost gifted the Tykes an on
:19:40. > :19:47.goal. But the keeper saved. In the final quarter hour and the match
:19:47. > :19:53.appeared to be heading to a draw, but O'Brien let fly and the Tykes
:19:53. > :19:57.on course for a win. But there was still time for another goal. With
:19:57. > :20:04.the luck they have had, Pompey fans should have known it wouldn't be
:20:04. > :20:11.for them. Dunn beat Henderson to heap more misery on an already
:20:11. > :20:17.heap more misery on an already suffering Portsmouth. We should be
:20:17. > :20:20.able to watch morts mouth. Their very well - Portsmouth, they're
:20:20. > :20:28.well organised and they were difficult to break down. The
:20:28. > :20:34.sending off helped us. And hindered the opposition. But once we got the
:20:34. > :20:39.two goals and the clean sheet, I'm happy. Once we had gone koun to --
:20:39. > :20:46.down to ten men it was damage limitation. Sometimes ten men can
:20:46. > :20:48.pull off a result. So a good win for Barnsley there, after back-to-
:20:48. > :20:54.back defeats. For Portsmouth, second administration in three
:20:54. > :21:00.seasons. What do you make of what has gone on there? How long have we
:21:00. > :21:04.got? Where do we start? I don't think you can put your finger on
:21:04. > :21:10.one incident. Seven years in the Premiership. There is not a thing
:21:10. > :21:17.has changed. There is no foundation, no infrastructure. Wages are still
:21:17. > :21:22.Premiership wages. It is scandalous. After coming out of administration,
:21:22. > :21:29.they have signed players on huge wages. The wages are out of control.
:21:29. > :21:35.There is no infrastructure, streams of revenue. People own different
:21:35. > :21:40.parts of it. I have no idea why the club has gone, has not come out of
:21:40. > :21:44.administration and learned a lesson. But when you have owners and things
:21:44. > :21:49.change, in their personal circumstances, this is the problem.
:21:49. > :21:54.I can tinge club when it came out of administration would have had a
:21:54. > :21:58.clean slate and would have known what you were getting and were
:21:58. > :22:03.signing. You must feel for Michael Appleton. Yes but there is still
:22:04. > :22:08.good players at that club. There are still ex-Premiership play wers
:22:08. > :22:13.big reputation and good players in the past. They should on the face
:22:13. > :22:17.of it should have enough to be OK. You would think even with the ten
:22:17. > :22:22.point deduction, that they will get themselves out of it. As Pompey
:22:22. > :22:31.comes to term with their problems, Southampton's own administration
:22:31. > :22:41.two and a half years ago seems like a distant memory. They went to see
:22:41. > :22:45.
:22:45. > :22:50.if they could reclaim top spot. Having made their best start for 75
:22:50. > :22:54.years, broken club records and led the table until a month ago, it is
:22:54. > :23:00.easy to forget that last season things were far from rosy for
:23:00. > :23:05.Southampton. First, there was the death of the owner, then the
:23:05. > :23:13.departure of the manager, Alan Pardew and the team hovered over
:23:13. > :23:18.the League One play zone. The challenge now facing Nigeled a

:23:55. > :24:00.have injuries and suspensions and you have challenges. It is how you
:24:00. > :24:05.deal with them n a calm and calculated manner. I think we have
:24:05. > :24:10.done that. Are you over the blip? don't think it is a blip. Yes.
:24:10. > :24:15.Confident about that? Yes. I think so. I hope we are. After we were
:24:15. > :24:19.saying last week, if we don't pick our form up, then we are going to
:24:19. > :24:24.be in trouble. Is it lard to keep going when you're up there -- hard
:24:25. > :24:30.to keep going when you're up there near the top. It is a long season?
:24:30. > :24:36.Yes and obviously we were at the top for most of it and we're second
:24:36. > :24:46.and it is a great position to be in, 15 games to go. You couldn't ask
:24:46. > :24:46.
:24:46. > :24:51.for anything better. We have an opportunity to get promotion and
:24:51. > :25:01.win the division. By being positive and sticking together and keeping

:25:02. > :25:05.our standards right. It must be a culture change, having been
:25:05. > :25:10.struggling and then your at the other ends of the table. I came
:25:10. > :25:16.from second bottom to second top. That was nice to be playing in the
:25:16. > :25:19.team that was winning. Hopefully I can progress. Do you have any words
:25:19. > :25:25.of sympathy for your neighbours down the coast? Yes I have. We have
:25:25. > :25:28.been through it. So you know, it's not a nice thing. We went through a
:25:28. > :25:31.lot and I know what they're going through. But they have gone through
:25:31. > :25:36.it twice. If they went out of business, there would be this
:25:36. > :25:46.rivalry and that is what the game's about. Do you have any sympathy sni

:26:00. > :26:07.back to the Premier League. Of that I'm convinced. The finances are run
:26:07. > :26:11.well. And we will make sure that we have that continuity to keep

:28:34. > :28:40.impressive win from Southampton. You were there today, what impress
:28:40. > :28:46.you'd most about them? Just the way they pass the ball. They were
:28:46. > :28:51.strongy area. Physically they're very capable and -- they were
:28:51. > :28:55.strong in every area. Physically they're have you capable. They
:28:55. > :28:59.played a Derby side who are mid table and they were no better than
:28:59. > :29:04.that. They were second best. But never could you see Southampton not
:29:05. > :29:10.winning that game. In the build up Nigel Adkins talked about there has
:29:10. > :29:15.been plenty of goals in the side. But of the six strikers, the least
:29:15. > :29:20.known is Lee and he came up with a corker. He came on at half time. I
:29:20. > :29:26.watched him in recent weeks and he has failed to make the impression
:29:26. > :29:31.you may imagine. As he takes this, what fantastic strike. That could
:29:31. > :29:36.be the catalyst for his career at Southampton to take off. It was a
:29:36. > :29:42.graed goal and the icing on the cake. Could be a bargain, he came
:29:42. > :29:52.on a free. Now some other front runners and first the game from
:29:52. > :30:00.
:30:00. > :30:03.Reading made one change to their starting line-up, with Jobi McAnuff
:30:03. > :30:07.back from injury. He replaced Hal Robson-Kanu. Burnley were unchanged
:30:07. > :30:17.from the team that beat Barnsley 2- 0 in midweek. Watching this was Dan
:30:17. > :30:28.
:30:28. > :30:38.crossbar. The first real scare for either team. Austin, and nearly put
:30:38. > :30:50.
:30:50. > :31:00.perfect start. Roberts scores for the third successive home game for
:31:00. > :31:05.
:31:05. > :31:15.acquisition already. On the left, the new Russia owner of the club.
:31:15. > :31:23.
:31:23. > :31:30.His first game here. He did go to And it went over the top. Grant
:31:30. > :31:40.could not hold on to the free kick. From the head of a defender. A

:31:40. > :32:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 219 seconds
:32:49. > :32:56.made himself a huge barrier, and foul. Tempers getting out of hand.
:32:56. > :33:06.Gorkss had two chances in the goal mouth. Boots were flying about. One
:33:06. > :33:19.
:33:19. > :33:29.or two Burnley players maybe took the right place to make sure that
:33:29. > :33:30.
:33:30. > :33:36.I have been waiting a long time to get Roberts. I saw him when he was
:33:36. > :33:41.17 years of age. He is now older than 17! I have been waiting a long
:33:41. > :33:48.time and I told him that. He is a real good role model for everyone
:33:48. > :33:53.in the club. Three goals in four games. The very well organised,
:33:53. > :34:03.they defended as a team. Very compact. They don't give many
:34:03. > :34:08.
:34:08. > :34:18.spaces to play through them. At Ipswich are on a roll with Cardiff
:34:18. > :34:30.
:34:30. > :34:34.for the visitors. They were going frustration was intensified when
:34:34. > :34:41.Ipswich went ahead midway through that first half, Martin on the end
:34:41. > :34:46.of that. Cardiff have only won once at Ipswich in their last 16 visits.
:34:46. > :34:51.They probably knew it would be 17 when the Ipswich goalkeeper look at
:34:51. > :34:55.that he had mishandled, only to recover. They certainly knew they

:35:06. > :35:22.
:35:22. > :35:32.to score for them. Michael Chopra. Wembley in the Currie Cup final. --
:35:32. > :35:32.
:35:32. > :35:40.That was an incredible decision by the referee. It was an immediate
:35:40. > :35:48.red card. Possibly he could have been sent off but the referee did
:35:48. > :35:54.not deem that. We have had some poor decisions. The bounce of the
:35:54. > :36:04.ball hasn't gone against us for a lot of games. Over the 90 minutes
:36:04. > :36:07.
:36:08. > :36:17.A Watford have been in a tremendous run of form of late. Crystal Palace
:36:18. > :36:20.
:36:20. > :36:25.are still looking for the first attention and he showed why Crystal
:36:25. > :36:35.Palace are so keen that to keep hold of him. Scoring the game's
:36:35. > :36:41.
:36:41. > :36:51.opening. Hornets had an impressive their first win since New Year's
:36:51. > :37:08.
:37:09. > :37:18.Eve. Martin scoring his 4th League four. And the side romped to their
:37:19. > :37:30.
:37:30. > :37:38.We had to work hard for it. Our intensity was fantastic. I felt we
:37:38. > :37:43.worked very hard. They looked a side desperate for the first win.
:37:43. > :37:51.Sometimes it happens. We had a really good run, a great result on
:37:51. > :37:55.Tuesday against Leicester. Players sometimes think, they will settle
:37:55. > :38:02.for a softer performance than usual. But you cannot, particularly at a
:38:02. > :38:12.place like Crystal Palace. They play as a unit. We came away
:38:12. > :38:17.
:38:17. > :38:21.Peterborough haven't won in 2012 and hope to avoid another home
:38:21. > :38:27.defeat against Bristol City. Did some people can't believe their
:38:27. > :38:34.luck sitting beside Sir Alex Ferguson. Watching his son's team.
:38:34. > :38:38.And smiling at this effort. Tomlin was there to put the hosts ahead
:38:38. > :38:48.despite the best efforts of David James. He was in a charitable mood
:38:48. > :38:52.later. When he passed straight to an opponent. But his speed made
:38:52. > :39:02.amends. He could do nothing about this headache just before the break.
:39:02. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:19.threatening in the second half. Soon after this, Jones was beaten.
:39:19. > :39:23.Frecklington here to maintain the advantage for the hosts. A moment
:39:23. > :39:33.of brilliance just after the hour. This sort of skill wouldn't have
:39:33. > :39:44.
:39:44. > :39:54.been out of place in a Manchester after. James came rushing out.
:39:54. > :39:58.
:39:58. > :40:03.Sinclair carried on. And set up A lot of pleasing aspects of our
:40:03. > :40:12.game. We closed down really well, it is something we have worked on.
:40:12. > :40:20.A good performance, a good result. The 20 minute period before the
:40:20. > :40:26.second goal, we were the dominant side. We got the ball wide. We
:40:26. > :40:35.caused Peter Brett a few problems. That period wasn't long enough for
:40:35. > :40:41.me in the game. A much-needed win for Peterborough.
:40:41. > :40:51.As for Reading, their tiny rise up the table continues. Jason Roberts,
:40:51. > :40:55.
:40:55. > :41:05.an inspired signing. What about the ball out of the back of the net.
:41:05. > :41:11.
:41:11. > :41:21.Rewarded with a pat on the back, surface of the pitch. A brilliant
:41:21. > :41:26.
:41:26. > :41:36.Paul Jewell found his strongest 11. Were they lucky against Cardiff to
:41:36. > :41:37.
:41:37. > :41:41.have their goalkeeper stay on the that you can say Batt stays on the
:41:41. > :41:48.pitch is that Mason have probably lost control of the ball. Very
:41:48. > :41:58.lucky. And they took full advantage. Former Cardiff player, Michael
:41:58. > :42:02.
:42:02. > :42:07.They have good players. I'm surprised it has taken so long for
:42:07. > :42:14.them to get going. Michael Chopra was dropped from the starting 11 so
:42:14. > :42:18.you have to credit him. He could have responded in one or two ways.
:42:18. > :42:22.As a forward, there are expectations. It doesn't always
:42:22. > :42:29.work like that. When you come through a tough period, he has come
:42:29. > :42:39.through it. Back to his best. He two teams put him in good wins,
:42:39. > :42:41.
:42:41. > :42:46.Crystal Palace. -- putting in. And Peterborough. Both teams have done
:42:46. > :42:52.brilliantly. To be fair, it's not all about winning. It's about
:42:52. > :42:56.building a foundation. Putting the pieces in place which means you
:42:56. > :43:06.have a foothold in that division. Crystal Palace and Peterborough
:43:06. > :43:11.
:43:11. > :43:17.struggled last year. I don't think there is that Russia of expectancy.
:43:18. > :43:21.-- that rush. League One now. The news has been dominated by the
:43:21. > :43:24.sacking of Lee Clark as manager of Huddersfield. Town weren't in
:43:24. > :43:27.action on Saturday. So caretaker manager Mark Lillis will have to
:43:27. > :43:37.wait for his first game in charge. We start with leaders Charlton, who
:43:37. > :43:39.
:43:40. > :43:47.against a side with the worst form in the division. But you would have
:43:47. > :43:52.been hard-pushed to identify who was who. This improvisation found
:43:52. > :43:56.the goalkeeper or on his own there. The teenager's first League goal.
:43:56. > :44:06.Back in the dressing room, Charlton has boss demanded more from his
:44:06. > :44:19.
:44:19. > :44:29.players. Half-an-hour less -- left striker. Probably a good time to
:44:29. > :44:36.
:44:36. > :44:42.It is always hard here. United had a missed penalty that cost Ched
:44:42. > :44:46.Evans the match ball and his side the lead after he was borough down
:44:46. > :44:51.the lead after he was borough down by Brown. Evans, struck one of the
:44:51. > :44:57.weakest penalties you will see straight at the keeper. The Blades
:44:57. > :45:03.conceded for the first time in three games as Preston had dreams
:45:03. > :45:10.of their first win in four attempts. Cummins scored his first goal for
:45:10. > :45:16.the club. Evens -- Evans redeemed himself before half time, Quinn fed
:45:16. > :45:26.Flynn, who was glad to see his miscued shot rescued by the
:45:26. > :45:34.
:45:34. > :45:38.Welshman. The Blades pressure was decisive when Beattie won a corner.
:45:38. > :45:44.But Evans unleashed a scheme tore keep United in second above
:45:44. > :45:49.Wednesday ahead of next week's trip Wednesday ahead of next week's trip
:45:50. > :45:53.to Hillsborough. They showed great composure. Especially after going a
:45:54. > :45:59.goal down. But they kept going. Didn't affect them that much. Maybe
:45:59. > :46:04.our football was not as fluid as it can be. But you have got to put the
:46:04. > :46:10.opposition into the equation. But a opposition into the equation. But a
:46:10. > :46:16.great three points. Scorer of the goal that secured Wednesday's last
:46:16. > :46:26.major troughy, John Sheridan has a lounge named after him at
:46:26. > :46:26.
:46:26. > :46:31.Hillsborough, but the club found nothing here. Chester field's
:46:31. > :46:35.winner came from the spot. Bostock's challenge was just inside
:46:35. > :46:43.the area. Morgan stepped up to leave Wednesday five points behind
:46:43. > :46:51.the Blades ahead of next week's Sheffield Derby. A memorable match
:46:51. > :47:01.for Daniel Powell, first the MK Dons' midfielder was denied a goal
:47:01. > :47:03.
:47:03. > :47:07.by the referee's premature whistle. Bow ditch got his name on the score
:47:07. > :47:13.sheet instead. Robinson's side were seeking their first win in six and
:47:13. > :47:17.when Powell tangled with Paul Black and emerging with the ball, his
:47:17. > :47:22.reaction was a surprise. More concerned about his stricken
:47:22. > :47:27.opponent than a second goal. Black wasn't faking the injury and
:47:27. > :47:36.Powell's reward for this gesture came after the break as he skipped
:47:36. > :47:41.through to double the lead. Then Oldham were done for, Powell making
:47:41. > :47:46.the advantage comfortable and reflecting that he would have been
:47:46. > :47:52.celebrating a hat trick, but for the referee in the first half. Now
:47:52. > :48:00.the Dons were motoring and Doumbe came forward and went for goal
:48:01. > :48:05.himself. It was the right decision. The victory was round off by
:48:05. > :48:12.Gleeson, who has been at the club for almost Three years and can
:48:12. > :48:17.finally enjoy a goal on home soil. Powell took most of the plaudits
:48:17. > :48:22.Powell took most of the plaudits for his sportsman ship. Ray I heard
:48:22. > :48:31.a yelp and I thought he had hurt himself, the first thing I thought
:48:31. > :48:37.himself, the first thing I thought was to kick the ball out.
:48:37. > :48:43.horrible result for born mouth was compounded by a broken leg for
:48:43. > :48:48.Purchase. Everyone in the ground was left winsing after what was --
:48:48. > :48:54.windsing after what was thought to be a -- wincing after what was
:48:54. > :49:00.thought to be a double fracture. In added time Rochdale were claiming
:49:00. > :49:06.for a penalty before the referee was left with no choice but to
:49:06. > :49:14.award one. Jones did the honours and secured the win which lifts
:49:14. > :49:19.Dale off the foot of the table. There were not many who would have
:49:19. > :49:25.predicted three goals and a managerial casualty at Victoria
:49:25. > :49:31.Park. This miss may have had Pool wondering if they were heading for
:49:31. > :49:36.another rollicking. Neal Cooper said the high drier treatment in
:49:36. > :49:43.midweek left him exhausted. But it seemed to have done the trick as
:49:43. > :49:53.Sweeney put Pool ahead. Never mind the stats and the vines, -- science,
:49:53. > :49:54.
:49:54. > :50:01.perhaps there is still a place for ranting and raving. Sweeney struck
:50:01. > :50:11.again. This win cease Hartlepool climb into the top ten. Seeny later
:50:11. > :50:17.turned provider, teeg up Monkhouse that ensured a serene Hartlepool
:50:17. > :50:22.dressing room: But not so at not kounti. Martin Allen is a
:50:22. > :50:27.passionate presence, but we have seen the last of him at the club.
:50:27. > :50:37.Debite having the club 12 point of relegation, he was sacked within
:50:37. > :50:37.
:50:37. > :50:41.hours of the final whistle. Steven Gillespie is enjoying a purple
:50:41. > :50:51.patch, he scored twice in midweek and then had the opener at Yeovil.
:50:51. > :50:51.
:50:51. > :50:54.After the break, it was the home side's Parrot who had a finish just
:50:54. > :51:00.as composed. Colchester hoped to win three on the trot for the first
:51:00. > :51:07.time this sfpblt a prospect e expect that reseeded -- this season,
:51:07. > :51:11.a prospect that reseeded near the end. Since Tuesday's win at Wycombe,
:51:11. > :51:16.the Yeovil boss said back-to-back wins would be a big step to
:51:16. > :51:24.survival. And then as they scored a third, he was a happy man.
:51:24. > :51:28.Colchester appeared to be scuppered, but Agard's stoppage time lunge
:51:28. > :51:36.betrayed Yeovil's anxiety. Not just a red card, but the club back in
:51:36. > :51:46.touch too, thanks to a terrific free kick from Rowlands. That made
:51:46. > :51:57.
:51:57. > :52:04.for a frantic finish, Bond denied the bemoaned their lack of goals,
:52:04. > :52:10.but they were three up in the first half. Bury are without a clean
:52:10. > :52:18.sheet since November. It is not surprised when their defender used
:52:18. > :52:22.a clothes line for a tackle. Nardyelly scored his ninth of the -
:52:22. > :52:29.enardyely scored his ninth of the season from the spot. City were
:52:29. > :52:36.denied by the woodwork of another flowing move. Jones was involved
:52:36. > :52:42.from the beginning. It was Bury's turn to strike lucky when they hit
:52:42. > :52:48.the bar themselves, Amoo putting them back in the game after Sodje's
:52:48. > :52:56.header cannoned into his path. But the winner, Logan restored Exeter's
:52:56. > :53:04.lead. Duffy split the defence, Taylor hung up the cross and the
:53:04. > :53:09.goal was worth waiting. Their Barker says Exeter will avoid the
:53:09. > :53:16.drop. But you suns the season will do -- you sense the season will go
:53:16. > :53:23.to the wire. Six of the bottom seven won on Saturday. Scunthorpe
:53:23. > :53:33.won at Orient who cannot win at home. When Taylor put them ahead,
:53:33. > :53:34.
:53:34. > :53:43.the Os sensed a first maximum in 2012. But then more misery for them.
:53:43. > :53:49.United levelled. Scuny made it back-to-back wins late on. Bartram
:53:49. > :53:57.edged them ahead. The match then firned in class for Orient. The
:53:57. > :54:06.keeper injured himself and Parkin scored the tap in to heap more woe
:54:06. > :54:13.on the Os. Make or break time for two of the teams who started the
:54:13. > :54:20.week in the bottom four. Walsall setting the tempo. Paterson forcing
:54:20. > :54:25.Bull to go full treng length. The match warmed up after the break. A
:54:25. > :54:32.second nudge put Nichols on the spot. Although he had squandered a
:54:32. > :54:35.penalty on Tuesday. He is a brave man to take the next one. His
:54:35. > :54:41.midweek miss meant they had failed to clinch a point. But here he was
:54:41. > :54:47.off the hook after a run from Hurst, finished with a thunder bolt. Wick
:54:47. > :54:55.koming were on the way to a third successive defeat. -- Wycombe.
:54:55. > :55:01.Their fate sealed five minutes from the end when Mackin's pass flee
:55:01. > :55:07.freed Bowerman. Walsall's first win in eight gives them fresh hope.
:55:07. > :55:13.felt we had enough to win, it was a good professional performance and
:55:13. > :55:18.with - we deserved to win. It took a good goal to open the scoring,
:55:18. > :55:24.but then I thought we had enough to but then I thought we had enough to
:55:24. > :55:30.win comfortably. A vital win for Walsall. Not that long ago chester
:55:30. > :55:34.field were looking dead and buried. Now they have a life line. They
:55:34. > :55:39.have given themselves a chance. A local Derby as well. It is always
:55:39. > :55:45.nice the put one over on your near neighbours. When you think of the
:55:45. > :55:48.run they have had, they have won three out of five. They amongst it
:55:48. > :55:53.and are four points from safety. If they can't be positive after that,
:55:54. > :56:03.then who knows? But they have given themselves a real chance. If they
:56:03. > :56:11.keep their league form, they have the Cup Final. Yes stay up, JPT
:56:11. > :56:18.trophy and it looks good. Goal crazy for MK Dons on Saturday. Five
:56:18. > :56:22.nil and an interesting game for Daniel Powell. Football's taken a
:56:22. > :56:26.battering lately, but this puts faith back into the game.
:56:26. > :56:30.Footballers have conducted themselves quite well, it is just a
:56:30. > :56:36.single incident. But this is a great bit of sportsmanship. He sees
:56:36. > :56:41.a fellow pro is in trouble and kicks the ball out. But it made no
:56:41. > :56:47.difference to the game and in effect he got his just desserts for
:56:47. > :56:53.that bit of sportsman ship. He played well and scored a couple.
:56:53. > :57:03.have been contacted by a new Notts County fans bemused by particular
:57:03. > :57:03.
:57:03. > :57:09.tin Allen's sack. They are eleventh. What do you think? Well, I... We
:57:09. > :57:13.spoke to Jim rod well after Paul Ince left and trying to fill out
:57:13. > :57:19.whether they think they should be. They are 11th and have played a
:57:19. > :57:23.couple games more than everyone else. They think maybe top eight or
:57:23. > :57:27.possibly top ten. That is where they would like to be. So look I'm
:57:27. > :57:32.sure there are plenty of people who are a bit Police if Ied by the
:57:32. > :57:37.decision. But I think - o' mystifyed by the decision, but but
:57:37. > :57:44.I think thing will be clarified. Lee Clark is now looking for a job
:57:44. > :57:50.after three defeats in the league after 55 games. The timing of this
:57:50. > :57:54.particularly has raised eyebrows. Yes, let's take from it a
:57:54. > :57:58.chairman's view and from Lee clash's. The chairman said I have
:57:58. > :58:08.given him a top two budget, we don't look as if we will get
:58:08. > :58:09.
:58:09. > :58:12.automatic. Lee Clark says, I have got you 43 games unbeaten. We have
:58:12. > :58:17.set that record I also deserve to stay in position, because the least
:58:17. > :58:22.ways we're going to get a play off spot and I could get you there that.
:58:22. > :58:26.And what, and the timing, I think he deserves to stay until the end

:01:22. > :01:30.thinking this is a major blip for the club. We haven't been as good
:01:30. > :01:37.as we want to be. Since Christmas, we have had Southend. We have had
