:00:37. > :00:46.Good evening. Welcome along to the best of the championship lead. We
:00:46. > :00:51.saw more away wins than those at home. Steve is with me tonight. He
:00:51. > :00:59.will be shedding some light on the winners and losers. He is at inns
:00:59. > :01:09.of what is on offer. It is not often that two four-man England
:01:09. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:17.managers go head to head. With nine goals in three league games, there
:01:17. > :01:27.is no doubt that Southampton are the championship Hot wok -- Hot
:01:27. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:39.shots at the moment. And it is all systems go for rather than United.
:01:39. > :01:44.It is the anniversary of one of their greatest achievements. They
:01:44. > :01:52.sit proudly on top of League Two. But what first up tonight is the
:01:52. > :02:02.East Midlands. Leicester made the short trip up the motorway to take
:02:02. > :02:05.
:02:05. > :02:15.on Nottingham Forest. History emphatically favour the home side.
:02:15. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :04:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:04:40. > :04:45.The big man. From scoring. -- the home. Leicester City are in front!
:04:45. > :04:49.Fernandes may not have scored it, but he had a part to play in its
:04:49. > :04:59.creation. The visitors are ahead at the City Ground. Questions are
:04:59. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:34.Again, Forest guilty of giving possession away. Fernandes who set
:05:34. > :05:42.up a first scores the second and for the second time in a matter of
:05:42. > :05:50.minutes, Forest give possession away and are punished. You cannot
:05:51. > :06:00.legislate for that. Boateng could not get there. It was a past he
:06:01. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:47.English football since 2008. He has and he knows it. It is the first
:06:47. > :06:53.time that anyone in Forest colours has had a sniff at the golf. It is
:06:53. > :07:03.a poor effort. Steve McClaren has got a bit of a half-time team talk
:07:03. > :07:25.
:07:25. > :07:30.There were targets in the middle. He scampered round the back of
:07:30. > :07:40.Nottingham Forest and tried to bend it into that far post and it was
:07:40. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :08:06.It is the first time he has had to put his glass it to anything. --
:08:06. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:08:53. > :09:03.minutes, Kasper Schmeichel has been as busy as the proud the rest of
:09:03. > :09:22.
:09:22. > :09:32.the match. Among the interested Forest have a lifeline. A yellow
:09:32. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:52.Was there any intention? Well, the penalty is awarded for that. Mills
:09:52. > :09:59.looks puzzled. Jonathan Moss had no hesitation and Forest have a gift.
:09:59. > :10:09.A yellow card for Schmeichel as well for gamesmanship. Forest need
:10:09. > :10:16.
:10:16. > :10:21.stoppage time to go. Schmeichel has kicked the ball away and gets
:10:21. > :10:28.another yellow card. He is sent off. The game changes in a matter of
:10:28. > :10:35.moments. McGugan has caused the penalty and Schmeichel gets out of
:10:35. > :10:43.the net and romps it. Out into the stands. In fact, he hurls it.
:10:43. > :10:47.Either way, his actions have merited a second yellow. And all of
:10:47. > :10:57.a sudden Sven-Goran Eriksson has a set of problems he never
:10:57. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:11:46. > :11:51.Boateng. Right at the end. Delirium the man he used to get Steve
:11:51. > :12:01.McClaren out of one of two problems for Middlesbrough. He has done it
:12:01. > :12:01.
:12:01. > :12:10.again. An incredible 60 seconds transformed the incidents
:12:10. > :12:15.afterwards. Yes, action-packed. Drama until the end. We salvaged a
:12:15. > :12:20.point for what looked an impossible situation at half-time. Not just
:12:20. > :12:24.the two goals but the way we were playing. No real threat. You
:12:24. > :12:30.thought, had we come back from that but unbelievable character, a few
:12:30. > :12:36.changes, change the momentum halfway through the second half. We
:12:36. > :12:46.started to get on top. You just felt a little bit of luck which we
:12:46. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:57.needed. I think it was a soft penalty. Now, it's too late. We
:12:57. > :13:04.think it is a soft penalty but the referee saw it another way.
:13:04. > :13:13.half-time, I thought this would be a tough job. You could feel it. I
:13:13. > :13:20.am pleased to we kept playing. We kept trying to play even when we
:13:20. > :13:25.used the whip around the outside, not just going forward. Make sure
:13:25. > :13:29.the Serbs are ready and they made a difference today. What did you make
:13:29. > :13:36.about the bookings for your goalkeeper? Well, his excuse is he
:13:36. > :13:44.did not say, he did not know he was booked the first time. He doesn't
:13:45. > :13:50.see it but that is not a good excuse. No, it's not. It was an
:13:50. > :13:56.incredible game. Sometimes, you see one team press self-destruct but
:13:56. > :14:01.both did. Both were the architects of their own downfall. The goals
:14:01. > :14:05.Leicester scored, Forest conceded they could have done better.
:14:05. > :14:10.Leicester get themselves in a situation where they are
:14:10. > :14:15.comfortable and press self-destruct by getting someone sent off.
:14:15. > :14:22.Conceding a penalty which is debatable. If you are in Nottingham
:14:22. > :14:29.Forest fan it is a penalty. Let's look at the key moment. Was this a
:14:29. > :14:34.handball? It is an accidental handball. The first time he knows
:14:34. > :14:39.where the ball is, that is not a good angle is when it hits the arm.
:14:39. > :14:45.How he gets booked for that is amazing, the referee gets back
:14:45. > :14:50.completely wrong. It is a debatable penalty. Kasper Schmeichel is
:14:50. > :14:54.furious, he did not know he was yellow-carded. According to what we
:14:55. > :15:01.saw and what we saw, he is booked walking back to the goal line
:15:01. > :15:04.because you can hear the crowd roar at the referee should have got
:15:04. > :15:08.himself into a position where Kasper Schmeichel was aware he
:15:08. > :15:13.knows he has been booked. The he should not have thrown the ball
:15:13. > :15:21.away. No but he would not have been sent off. That was the turning
:15:21. > :15:28.point. Under pressure, the momentum. For the first time and again, they
:15:28. > :15:32.look as if they miss something on the end of what they're doing.
:15:32. > :15:36.which it manager is the result better, it has to beat Steve
:15:36. > :15:40.McClaren. Of course. They are staring down the barrel with 20
:15:40. > :15:44.minutes to go. They have got themselves out of the situation to
:15:44. > :15:52.get a point after the game which looked as if it was getting away
:15:52. > :15:57.from them. It does it reduce pressure on Sven-Goran Eriksson?
:15:57. > :16:03.is fully aware he would be under pressure from the start. There is
:16:03. > :16:12.none better to handle that. Nottingham Forest can take heart
:16:12. > :16:17.from the change. Yes, it is particularly, Miller came on. They
:16:17. > :16:23.were able to get the ball up to him, he held on to it. Even if he did
:16:23. > :16:28.not win the initial first ball, it bounced in and around him. I think
:16:28. > :16:34.that is how they started to exert pressure which they had not done.
:16:34. > :16:44.Encouraging signs for Forest fans. Peterborough and Ipswich, posh came
:16:44. > :16:45.
:16:45. > :16:55.up from the play-offs thanks to an unbeaten record at 16 games. A home
:16:55. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :18:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:18:03. > :18:08.save, home side pinning back visitors. A good header and save.
:18:08. > :18:18.Two good chances but the keeper is equal to both. Where was the
:18:18. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :19:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:19:46. > :19:51.of nothing. The goalkeeper gets it strike. What a strike by Taylor.
:19:51. > :20:01.Extraordinary. His first league start the Peterborough and he made
:20:01. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:44.what a shot by Tom in. He did not for Paul Taylor. What a day. His
:20:44. > :20:49.league debut and two goals. The game has been turned on its head.
:20:49. > :20:58.Ipswich thought they had done the hard work taking the lead. Suddenly,
:20:58. > :21:04.their defence is falling apart. Two goals in two minutes. Ipswich with
:21:04. > :21:13.a mountain to climb. Had the game has changed. -- how the game has
:21:13. > :21:22.changed. This could be another one. It is! Ipswich are falling apart.
:21:22. > :21:32.For Peterborough, it's getting better and better and better. 4-1.
:21:32. > :21:42.
:21:42. > :21:49.is a red. It has gone from bad to worse for Ipswich. Four goals down
:21:49. > :21:59.and ten men. He can have few complaints. He went right through
:21:59. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:26.off. It can only get worse, it card and its which really are in
:22:26. > :22:33.disarray. There are now down to nine men. The captain of
:22:33. > :22:43.Peterborough has the chance to make it five. And he does! No mistake.
:22:43. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:14.Beautiful finish. 5-1 to surely there will be more. Ipswich
:23:14. > :23:14.
:23:14. > :24:30.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds
:24:30. > :24:38.hat-trick. It's which could not defy them. What a sorry afternoon
:24:38. > :24:43.for Ipswich. What a great afternoon for Peterborough. You do not see
:24:43. > :24:49.results like this coming. You dream about them, but you don't see them
:24:49. > :24:57.coming. A great day for us. To win it 7-1 at this level is fantastic.
:24:57. > :25:04.For me, it is horrible, but you know, it's embarrassing. We are all
:25:04. > :25:14.ashamed. We have been trying to strengthen and improve the defence
:25:14. > :25:23.
:25:23. > :25:28.Will Peter Crouch struggle for goals having sold their top scorer?
:25:28. > :25:32.Yes. We got the answer today. This is what we imagined. The first
:25:32. > :25:39.train of thought is let us get forward and attack the opposition.
:25:39. > :25:46.We know we have got to defend, but we do like to attack. Everybody was
:25:46. > :25:50.willing to go forward. Some great goals and really entertaining. This
:25:50. > :25:57.was a fantastic performance. That was the first of two for Paul
:25:57. > :26:02.Taylor. The next goal was the best of Tomlin's hat-trick. Even at 4-1
:26:02. > :26:06.up, they would not take their foot off the gas. They do not think like
:26:06. > :26:10.that. They just want to keep going. They might concede a couple along
:26:10. > :26:16.the way, but they will try to get another two of three. They are
:26:16. > :26:23.hungry for goals and they really put Ipswich away. It has been quite
:26:23. > :26:33.a journey for their manager. We it has been a chequered career so far,
:26:33. > :26:39.
:26:39. > :26:47.so we - Max -- shall we say. One of the players felt a drugs test. --
:26:47. > :26:57.failed a drugs test. As for Ipswich, they have conceded 12 goals in the
:26:57. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:08.last couple of games. Incredibly, they are on the back foot already.
:27:08. > :27:14.The manager bought a players and everyone thought they were decent.
:27:14. > :27:21.The way they finished last year under his tutelage, they finished
:27:21. > :27:25.well. He described his team as weak and shambolic. We cannot argue with
:27:25. > :27:30.that. It has been very poor. They have to tighten up and give
:27:30. > :27:34.themselves a chance in games. The pressure will get heavier and
:27:34. > :27:43.heavier. It will be an interesting few days between now and when the
:27:43. > :27:53.transfer window closes. Now, Southampton, Brighton and Derby are
:27:53. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:03.or are nine points. Southampton had a victory over visitors Millwall.
:28:03. > :28:07.Saints have taken to life in the championship straight away. They
:28:07. > :28:17.may be looking at back-to-back promotions. They started well
:28:17. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:53.what could be called the coastal Derby. -- sea gulls. There was more
:28:53. > :29:05.
:29:05. > :29:15.fun in the sun for Albion when a after the break. His 4th of the
:29:15. > :29:25.season was converted. Blackpool looked set for another defeat, but
:29:25. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:43.a veteran striker gave them hope. Albion were made to pay in the last
:29:43. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:59.Nigel Clough's Derby. Three wins out of three is a start his father
:29:59. > :30:09.would be proud of. It did not take long for the fans to have something
:30:09. > :30:11.
:30:11. > :30:21.to cheer. Kill ban headed in his first golf for that club. --
:30:21. > :30:24.
:30:24. > :30:34.Kilbane. Three rounds scored early in the first half and were intent
:30:34. > :30:41.on doing the same and the second. Davies had plenty of space. His
:30:41. > :30:46.cross was met high by Steve Davis, the goal coming just 15 seconds
:30:46. > :30:56.after the restart. Having set up the first two, it was only fair
:30:56. > :30:59.
:30:59. > :31:05.that Ben Davies got his name on the score sheet. He did it in style.
:31:05. > :31:15.Derby delighted in winning their first format games. The players
:31:15. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:19.have worked incredibly hard. Probably not playing as good -- the
:31:19. > :31:26.kind of for all we were playing 12 months ago, but they cannot be
:31:26. > :31:32.faulted for their effort. First time we have come off the pitch
:31:32. > :31:40.this season when we have not won, but we felt we do deserve something.
:31:40. > :31:45.There are no excuses. Fresh from Tuesday's dramatic leg win against
:31:45. > :31:55.Coventry, Crystal Palace arrived seeking their first away victory
:31:55. > :31:57.
:31:57. > :32:07.since October. They got off to a good start. East there, he got the
:32:07. > :32:08.
:32:08. > :32:18.midweek win against Coventry, did his best to claim this one as well.
:32:18. > :32:29.
:32:29. > :32:33.-- Easter. Andrew directed his head at the wrong side of the bar. Three
:32:33. > :32:39.consecutive wins for Crystal Palace for the first time in a few years.
:32:39. > :32:47.It was a good performance today. We coped with everything that was
:32:47. > :32:53.thrown at us. Now got a good performance. We are not scoring
:32:54. > :33:03.goals at home. We did not create enough chances. We need to change
:33:04. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:11.our style. Burley's new signing was present, but did not play. He has
:33:12. > :33:17.signed a two-year contract from West Ham. Austin did play there. He
:33:17. > :33:24.signed in January, but has been out injured. Now he is fit and scored
:33:24. > :33:32.after just one minute. Burley were looking for their first win of the
:33:32. > :33:42.season. They may have had a good shout for a penalty. However, the
:33:42. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:53.referee was not impressed. That is how it ended. Burley still without
:33:53. > :34:03.a league win this season. -- Burnley. A put we were excellent
:34:03. > :34:04.
:34:04. > :34:12.from start to finish. -- I thought. Unfortunately, one lapse in
:34:13. > :34:21.concentration and we paid for it. Barnsley still seeking their first
:34:21. > :34:27.win of the season. Reading were firm favourites, but it was the
:34:27. > :34:35.visitors who went ahead. The home side came close to a freak
:34:35. > :34:45.equaliser. 11 minutes after the break an incident that would bring
:34:45. > :34:45.
:34:46. > :34:55.to life an extraordinary second half. A fantastic save after a
:34:55. > :35:05.penalty. 10 minutes later, deja-vu. Robinson Kalou weaved his way into
:35:05. > :35:06.
:35:07. > :35:12.the box. Hunt took responsibility. Same corner, same outcome. Reading
:35:12. > :35:17.just could not get the ball in the neck. Alex peers failing to score
:35:17. > :35:27.as his header was hacked off the line. Halfway through the second
:35:27. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:35.half, the result looks done and dusted. Incredibly, the drama
:35:35. > :35:45.wasn't quite over. There was still time for Reading to win. Another
:35:45. > :35:47.
:35:47. > :35:56.penalty. Robson-Kanu stepped up for this one. Finally, Reading had a
:35:56. > :36:00.golf. Keith Hill can celebrate his first league win in charge. We have
:36:00. > :36:06.had to cope with quite a lot reasoning, but to get that result,
:36:06. > :36:14.hopefully it will carry us forward into the remaining fixtures. We had
:36:14. > :36:19.numerous chances to win the game, but we did not take them. Nicky
:36:19. > :36:23.Maynard has got all three of Bristol City's goals, including the
:36:24. > :36:30.two that beat Leicester during the week. He was hoping he could
:36:30. > :36:40.inspire a home win. None of May now's team-mates looked like
:36:40. > :36:40.
:36:40. > :36:50.scoring until after the break. Pompey's midweek win at Reading was
:36:50. > :36:52.
:36:52. > :36:59.their first in a while. It was ultimately a pretty chanceless
:36:59. > :37:04.encounter. Troubles on and off the pitch in
:37:04. > :37:14.Coventry. A group of fans demonstrating against the owners of
:37:14. > :37:15.
:37:15. > :37:23.the club. What he did have the ball in the next four minutes before the
:37:23. > :37:32.break, but Yates was denied by the assistant referee's flak. Coventry
:37:32. > :37:42.had chances to take the lead themselves. Home keeper Joe Murphy
:37:42. > :37:42.
:37:42. > :37:46.had a fine game, but should have been punished for a late fumble.
:37:46. > :37:51.Coventry and Leeds had their first point on the board. I don't think
:37:51. > :38:01.we played well in the first half, but in the second half it was
:38:01. > :38:07.
:38:07. > :38:16.better. We grew in confidence and manager got a colossal team effort.
:38:16. > :38:20.They played very well today. They rode their luck had it at times.
:38:20. > :38:28.They were good penalties, possibly it was just the height of them that
:38:28. > :38:38.allows the goalkeeper to get across. Then they go up to the other end of
:38:38. > :38:41.
:38:41. > :38:46.the pitch and score the winner! saw Blackpool get a terrific. Away
:38:46. > :38:51.to Brighton after being two goals down. Kevin Phillips, doing what we
:38:51. > :38:56.know he can be even at 38 years of age. Interestingly, he could have
:38:56. > :39:04.joined Brighton in the summer but turned them down. He is clearly
:39:04. > :39:09.enjoying his football. He just manages to pull away and it is a
:39:09. > :39:14.brilliant finish. It is that little bit of intelligence just to take
:39:14. > :39:20.you away from the normal and put you where you know the second phase
:39:20. > :39:25.ball is going to go. When you see at 38-year-old do it, does it get
:39:25. > :39:35.you? Of course, when the sun is out and the pictures are love - -
:39:35. > :39:38.
:39:38. > :39:44.pictures are lovely, of course you want to go back. This was a great
:39:44. > :39:54.result. Yes, there has been an enormous turnover of players since
:39:54. > :39:57.
:39:57. > :40:01.Nigel Clough went there. Mark O'Brien, an 18-year-old, he has not
:40:01. > :40:11.got huge amount of experience in the first team, but he is an
:40:11. > :40:16.interesting character. Only two years ago he had a heart operation.
:40:16. > :40:22.This is what football can do for you. It can pick you up. Now he is
:40:22. > :40:32.in a winning side and playing well. Derby have done that without having
:40:32. > :40:40.
:40:40. > :40:50.five first-team players available. Douggie came to the club to try to
:40:50. > :40:52.
:40:52. > :40:57.keep them and the division. He is taking on Palace. It looks like
:40:57. > :41:00.they will defy a few pundits. let's get to League One now where

:42:29. > :42:36.on one of the few occasions they got caught, their substitute made

:42:44. > :42:54.is still expecting bids for Sam Baldock, and you can see why. He
:42:54. > :43:02.opened the scoring. More from Sam Baldock to come, but Chesterfield
:43:02. > :43:12.levelled before the break. Scott Boden scored. At the Sam Baldock.

:43:31. > :43:39.yet and managed to score another goal. The fightback were short-

:43:49. > :43:54.played in Luke Chadwick. Sam Baldock had more spectacular plans
:43:54. > :44:04.for scoring his hat-trick. As stunning strike to cap a

:44:29. > :44:37.performance of real quality. There courtesy of a not very bright start
:44:37. > :44:43.from a defender. The lead was wiped out in the second half when Clinton

:44:54. > :44:58.
:44:58. > :45:08.smash home for his club. Gary Madine scored. With 15 minutes to
:45:08. > :45:25.
:45:25. > :45:31.go, the home side could feel even rivals will try to get their first
:45:31. > :45:41.points. Brentford have made as strong start. Niall McGinn put them

:46:00. > :46:09.was going to follow, but Brentford soon began to run riot. Saunders
:46:09. > :46:19.scored a stunning free-kick. He repeated the trick from a free-kick
:46:19. > :46:24.
:46:24. > :46:29.halfway through the second half. Marcus been smashed home the 5th
:46:29. > :46:35.goal. This is the best start for Brentford and six years, and it is

:55:00. > :55:07.about Brian Lowe. They have got Andy Bishop back, which must be
:55:07. > :55:11.like a new signing. Andy Bishop was good today. They played some great
:55:11. > :55:19.stuff. They are another team here are playing the same way they did
:55:19. > :55:28.last year. It is easy when you are dominating games to get on the poor
:55:28. > :55:34.and want to play -- get on the ball and want to pass it around. Pretty
:55:34. > :55:38.exciting times in League Two, especially for Rotherham. They are
:55:38. > :55:48.hoping to win promotion before they move into their new home. There was

:56:21. > :56:25.recent years has twice been in administration, had been deducted
:56:25. > :56:30.points and had to leave their ground. But hope springs eternal in

:57:07. > :57:17.is struggling. We normally get his girlfriend to do it. -- he normally.
:57:17. > :57:18.
:57:18. > :57:23.This is the planned new stadium, said to be ready in the nick of
:57:23. > :57:27.time for them to play outside the boundaries. It is fantastic. Having
:57:27. > :57:31.gone into administration twice before I came on board, it wanted
:57:31. > :57:37.someone to get hold of it and develop it. I have brought in
:57:37. > :57:42.professional people, we work closely together. We have now got
:57:42. > :57:47.stability, growth and prospects. Describe what it has been like
:57:47. > :57:51.following your club over the last few years? A bit like a roller-
:57:51. > :57:58.coaster. There have been some highs, like the trip to Wembley, been the
:57:58. > :58:06.top of the league, and the times we have been chasing promotion. There
:58:06. > :58:12.have been the bad loans. Starting the season with minus 17. Just one
:58:12. > :58:19.minute. This says it all. Let's just take a look at that. I'm
:58:19. > :58:24.finding this whole experience rather surreal! A reminder of the
:58:24. > :58:27.heights for Rotherham have Skelt in the past. Today it is the 50th
:58:27. > :58:33.anniversary of their first participation in the League Cup
:58:33. > :58:37.final. Eight members of the squad are here today and they have not
:58:37. > :58:42.changed a bit. Well, not much anyway. Can you put into words the
:58:42. > :58:48.size of the achievement of rather than rich in that final? It was
:58:48. > :58:53.absolutely fantastic. Rotherham at the time were not a fashionable
:58:54. > :59:03.club, but they were a good family club. One for all and all for one
:59:04. > :59:18.
:59:18. > :59:24.and that is how we are. We have a reaction. It came four minutes
:59:25. > :59:32.after the break. Troy Brown lashed in his first senior goal. Barnet
:59:32. > :59:42.were in no mood to roll over. McLeod took a tumble. The referee
:59:42. > :59:54.
:59:54. > :00:04.was in no doubt. Brown's agility on the goal line disallow it -- de

:00:32. > :00:36.here in 10 days' time? I hope so. He is a natural goalscorer. We have
:00:36. > :00:41.had a lot of interest, but they have been some players that have
:00:41. > :00:46.left and gone to Championship clubs for �1 million to are nowhere near
:00:46. > :00:56.as good as Alfie. As a manager, you want to keep your best players and
:00:56. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:20.Andy Scott is under no pressure to sell. He isn't. If the top scorers
:01:21. > :01:24.go, it will be on the Rotherham's terms and no-one else's. You throw
:01:24. > :01:31.that into the next and they should have a good season. And do you
:01:31. > :01:36.think the added pressure that comes with the new stadium, is it an
:01:36. > :01:43.incentive or hindrance? I am not sure there is real pressure there.
:01:43. > :01:53.They have got a three-year deal and they will not to improve. I hasten
:01:53. > :02:02.to add, I am not sure how much of a hindrance the Don Valley is. They

:03:05. > :03:10.as good as won. Crawley have racked up 34 league matches unbeaten and
:03:10. > :03:20.it will take more than Torquay's consolation goal to dent their
:03:20. > :03:39.
:03:39. > :03:49.a valuable away win. However, a handball was spotted and Gibson got
:03:49. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :04:01.a second yellow. The Kent side pressed on. Four minutes from time

:04:16. > :04:21.victory was wrapped up just before they ended the game.

:10:15. > :10:17.
:10:17. > :10:24.that is not just the defenders. Few can match Dario Gradi for

:11:27. > :11:37.going to need all his years of experience to get crew out of this
:11:37. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:57.year in the FA Cup and they gave Torquay a bit of a roasting then,
:11:57. > :12:00.and they did it again today. Chilling and are unbeaten after
:12:00. > :12:07.four games. It is amazing how things have changed in the year for
:12:07. > :12:17.them. This time last year, it took them 16 games to win the amount of
:12:17. > :12:20.
:12:20. > :12:30.games they have already won this year! They look like they're in for
:12:30. > :12:35.
:12:35. > :12:40.a good year because they finished in a row. Not bad for a team that
:12:40. > :12:47.were third favourites to go down. They had a good year the year
:12:47. > :12:52.before last, but not so good last year. This will be one of the
:12:52. > :12:58.smallest budgets in that division. We are seeing some real quality in
:12:58. > :13:05.the second division. Closer to fantastic strikes. They have
:13:05. > :13:15.started extremely well. Jim Bentley is finding this managerial lark
:13:15. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:19.Saturday's results means as far the league tables are concerned. In
:13:19. > :13:22.nPower League Two, new boys Crawley climb to the top of the table after
:13:22. > :13:25.that win we just saw at Torquay and because of Rotherham dropping
:13:25. > :13:28.points at home to Barnet. Gillingham are level with those two
:13:28. > :13:31.sides. Morecambe and Dagenham have also made good starts to the season
:13:31. > :13:34.with three wins from four. At the bottom Dario Gradi's Crewe are the
:13:34. > :13:37.only side that remain pointless in League Two after losing their
:13:37. > :13:39.opening four matches of the season for the first time since 1981.
:13:39. > :13:42.Hereford, Plymouth and Bradford all have one point apiece.
:13:42. > :13:45.As for League One, MK Dons are top after that win over Chesterfield
:13:45. > :13:48.and that's because Charlton and Sheff Utd were both held to draws
:13:48. > :13:50.on Saturday. Brentford have also climbed the table after that
:13:50. > :13:54.hammering of Leyton Orient. And Orient stay bottom and pointless
:13:54. > :13:57.after their worst start to a season in 46 years. There are still five
:13:57. > :14:00.other teams yet to win in League One including Hartlepool who have
:14:00. > :14:03.drawn all four games so far. Southampton and Derby are the only
:14:03. > :14:06.sides in the Football League with 100% records. It is the first time
:14:06. > :14:09.Southampton have ever won their opening four league games of a
:14:09. > :14:12.season and the first time for Derby since 1905. I should mention
:14:12. > :14:16.Brighton and Palace, who have also made encouraging starts to the new
:14:16. > :14:19.campaign. While at the bottom, Doncaster are the only side without
:14:19. > :14:22.a point and that goalless draw between Coventry and Watford did
:14:22. > :14:27.neither side any favours on Saturday as both of them are still
:14:27. > :14:30.looking for their first wins. Now, before we go, don't forget to re-
