Good evening. Plenty has gone the Championship. Southampton have | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
become the runaway leaders, Middlesbrough last the unbeaten | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
start, we have the new Nottingham Forest manager grabbing a victory | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
and Bristol City appointed a new manager. Today's games through up | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
their share of talking points and it is always nice to have a current | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
footballer in the studio, so we are delighted to be joined this evening | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
by Steve Claridge of gospel a football club. We will have more on | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Steve's next comeback, but here is what is coming up. With Southampton | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
stretching their legs at the top of the Championship, would they keep | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
up with the Saints? The latest team to stop them was Reading. Steve | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Cotterill was attempting to get Nottingham Forest upwardly-mobile. | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
A team started the game aged, Ian Holloway's Blackpool. -- 8. At the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
top of League 1, Lee Clark and Gary next night chasing Charleson with | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
them at the team to catch. And two very different clubs with similar | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
ambitions. AFC Wimbledon and Crawley Town have got to know each | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
other pretty well in the Conference over the last few years. Today they | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
went head-to-head at the top of We kick off with tonight's late | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
game in the Championship involving Southampton, against Reading. The | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
Saints secured a crucial victory over West Ham to lay down a marker | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
and put them five points clear at the top of the Championship going | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
into the weekend. Reading made one change from the team that drew with | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
Derby in midweek with McAnuff passed fit, and replacing Jimmy | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
care they. One change for Southampton with Corkill returning | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
:02:26. | :02:49. | ||
to the starting 11 ahead of Richard Chaplin stead. Was that a | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
:02:59. | :03:19. | ||
the ball with his hand, a yellow Southampton wall, and that is | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
behind for a corner. The question is, is he the last defender? But a | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
:03:34. | :03:49. | ||
yellow card was deemed enough. Two McAnuff! Cleared by Danny Fox. The | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
first real scare for Southampton. Down the left-hand side. They | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
released him brilliantly and he took on and beat the defender, | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
:04:08. | :04:36. | ||
Richardson, but Danny Fox was effort, and he has not scored since | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
February, but Kelvin Davis had to be Maicon -- right on the money. | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:55. | ||
That is a good strong hand, and it was moving in the air. Adjustment | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:38. | ||
his knee and wrist -- midriff. In by Danny Fox. Fox again. Sent in by | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
:05:48. | :06:16. | ||
block, and meals with the clearance. -- Mills with a clearance. The | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
:06:26. | :07:02. | ||
angle was closing on him, he got post. Back in, and legged Woods | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
cause. Mac -- enough's free kick. Coming back with real venom. The | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
angle is against him, but he finds the bottom corner brilliantly. It | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
:07:26. | :07:37. | ||
is a Royal wake-up call for McAnuff. A second yellow card, now | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
a red card, and Dean Hammond, the Southampton captain is sent off. A | :07:42. | :07:52. | |
:07:52. | :08:17. | ||
man down, a goal down, he gets the ten men have perhaps saved it. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
His second League goal in English football, and a huge lifeline | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
thrown to Southampton. The Saints are back out 1-1. They have not | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
made too many chances, and no one may have made has been taken | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
clinically and emphatically. -- the one they have has been taken so | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
Two sides with quality out there, and the league leaders have come to | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
town and I thought we were the better side, so disappointed. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
were just not there today. It just shows you need character. We have | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
gone down to ten men and we are one goal behind and shown the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
resilience to get something out of it. A decent game of football, | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
exploding into life in the last 20 minutes. Not a bad game, no doubt. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Reading took the lead, and deserved one. For most of the game they were | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
the better side, but all this sudden they kick the tempo up and | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
we had a game. Reading have come into full. They will be | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
into full. They will be disappointed that they only. After | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
you go a goal down, you will be the happier manager. Reading's court, | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
and that was their reward. Some good play and the majority of the | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
game they were the better side. You write Southampton off at your peril. | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
There is a bit about them now. They have a knack of getting something | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
out of their best. Down to ten men, but this is a neat little finish. | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
An excellent finish. He came on for David Connolly and played behind | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Lambert. And he looked lively and he seems to be able to pick up the | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
pace of the game. When he gets on the ball he is very positive and | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
difficult to play against. Reading will be disappointed defending it | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
from a throw-in. Looking back at that, you said the point is almost | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
as good as three points but they took against West Ham. I think so. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
Against West Ham they were mourning control of the game than they were | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
today. But what you get at the top of the table, you cannot win every | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
game. They might look back at that one point and seek better as | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
massive. They may be might have got away from that game, and as a | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
manager that might tell you more about the team and the personnel | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
than the 1-0 victory over West Ham. than the 1-0 victory over West Ham. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
than the 1-0 victory over West Ham. Encouraging signs for Nigel Adkins. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Let's find out how the other leading lights there on Saturday. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
With West Ham not playing until Monday, we start at the Riverside, | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:30. | ||
and 95 days old, he was denied a record-breaking Derby debut because | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
he had to go to school the next day. No such problems for the trip to | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
the Riverside because it is half- term. Last time the Rams tasted | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
victory, Bennett was three years old, and they fell behind on the | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
stroke of half-time. Williams deflecting the shot in. At the | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
other end, Derby created chances of their own. A combination of Jason | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Steele hitting the post, which denied it Robinson. After a flying | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
start of the season, Marvin Emnes has been misfiring, but after the | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
restart he discovered his touch to make it 2-0. The Derby gave the | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
home defence plenty to think about. Bennett was inches away from | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
marking his debut with a dream goal after the shot from Christopher | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
Maguire. The Rams continued to bombard the goal. Jamie Ward | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
rattling the bars with this effort. It was just not to the Derby's day. | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
A deflected cross finding it would work again. Andy gave Tony Mowbray | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
:12:44. | :12:45. | ||
The three points keeps us ticking along. If we had lost today, people | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
would have asked questions about the character of the squad. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
such a young team to come back and played with such attacking intent | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
:13:02. | :13:06. | ||
Palace shared identical legal records. Poor George landed the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Friedman have seen impressive runs in recent form. The Eagles have not | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
lost in four. It was the home side who seemed likely to pick up the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
5th win on the trot at Portman Road. Carlos Edwards could not have teed | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
it up better for Lee Bowyer, who headed it wide. The Crystal Palace | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
goalkeeper has been one prominent factor in Crystal Palace's march up | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
the table. Here he denied Thomas. Ipswich lost their linchpin Damien | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
Delaney and found themselves under pressure, but Glen Moray was unable | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
to make the best of the chance when it fell his way. -- Glen Moray. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Sean Scannell was given a chance to whip in a dangerous ball and it was | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
converted by the unlikely figure of Paddy McCarthy, his second League | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
goal in three seasons. Ipswich's response was to bring on Michael | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Chopra and Jason Scotland. Palace looked more likely to double the | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
lead. David Stockdale did well to stop this effort. Ipswich's misery | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
was complete in the final minute. Cresswell received a second yellow | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
card for complaining about an and punished David Wright challenge. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
Palace move up to the giddy heights of third and have surpassed their | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:35. | ||
total of away points for the whole for the clash with Leeds, their | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
late winner in a 4-3 you victory over Cardiff had given them the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
belief that they could maintain a Posh push for the play-offs. But | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
the Leeds fans were celebrating here, Andy Keogh celebrating | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
beautifully after some slick build- up play. Peterborough were chasing | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
a 5th win in seven league games. 23 minutes in, they were level. Grant | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
McCann pigging out Zakuani. A moment of controversy when Tomlin | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
made that challenge on Andy Keogh. The referee brought out a red card | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
and Peterborough were down to 10 men. Soon after the break, Leeds | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
made that count. Lloyd Sam teeing up Adam Clayton to put Leeds 2-1 up. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Matches involving Posh haven't been short of goals this season, and | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
this one was no different. Two minutes remaining and Peterborough | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
it snatched a dramatic equaliser. Mark Little appearing to have saved | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
the day for the hosts. But there were two more twists to come. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
Darren O'Dea made this challenge and David Ball. Just a yellow card, | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :15:59. | ||
said the referee. So the game went into injury time. O'Dea, who Wells, | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
Robert salt into Peterborough's wounds. His last volley stealing a | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
:16:14. | :16:17. | ||
controversial win for the visitors. Millwall would have seen them | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
claimed their first back-to-back wins of the season and break into | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
the top six for the first time under Sven-Goran Eriksson. Millwall | :16:24. | :16:34. | |
:16:34. | :16:45. | ||
were handed the chance to land the a win had seen no wall slumps into | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
the bottom three. On the stroke of half-time they found a crucial | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
second goal. Simpson with a superbly weighted bowl -- ball. | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
Henderson applied the finish. Peltier was the unlucky man here. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
But Henderson soon sealed Millwall's first away win of the | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
season with his first goal of the afternoon. It was enough to lift | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
the Lions out of the drop zone. Leicester's inconsistency has got | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
me tearing my hair out. A great day for both south London clubs in the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
championship. A absolutely. Two really tough places to go. Two | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
outstanding results. Crystal Palace, they were struggling to get an away | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
win last season. Absolutely. They've done it four times already. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
It gives you some idea of the turnaround. When the centre half | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
scores like that you know things are working for you. Henderson has | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
managed to do in half-an-hour what Millwall did in the last nine games | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
of the competition, that his score three times. They have missed him. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
They probably left themselves a bit short with the two lads going, | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
:18:08. | :18:08. | ||
Harrison and Morrison. He has been missed. He's been out for a month. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
They are too good to be down there. We know they can play at this level. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
They've got a good manager. They will turn that round very quickly. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
All the sudden they will become a difficult side to play. We saw | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Middlesbrough back to winning ways. Leeds got a fantastic result | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
against Peterborough. Darren Ferguson fuming that Darren O'Dea | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
should not have been on the field of play to score the winner. Should | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
he have been sent off? I see what he means. It's not a malicious | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
tackle but it does take the play out. Is there a covering player? | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
It's the first touch. Where is that touch going? Because it's not the | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
centre of the pitch, will the covering player be able to cut the | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
angled down and take a short route and maybe get in front of the | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Peterborough player that has been brought down? I don't know, I can | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
see both sides of the coin. You'd probably be a tad harsh if he had | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
gone. Steve Cotterill left Portsmouth to take over as the | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
manager of Nottingham Forest. He made quite an impact in his first | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
game in charge, after Forest ended Middlesbrough's unbeaten league | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
start midweek, to move them out of the relegation zone. On Saturday, | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Forest were looking for back-to- back wins for the first time this | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:27. | ||
season when they took on Blackpool, Forest in recent years, notably in | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
their dramatic victory in the championship play-offs 18 months | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
ago. But they could find themselves pushed to the limit to maintain | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
their rise up the division. Ian Holloway has reported Tuesday | :19:37. | :19:47. | |
:19:47. | :19:50. | ||
night's match winner Thomas Ince change, defender Clint Hill has | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
been recalled by Queens Park Rangers from his loan. So the team | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
which beat Middlesbrough means that Gunter will move to left-back. | :20:03. | :20:13. | |
:20:13. | :20:26. | ||
Greening is recalled to do a job as Crainey tries it in. Miskick by | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
:20:36. | :20:46. | ||
Ince. Lovely move by Blackpool, Blackpool have stepped up. But | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
:20:56. | :21:03. | ||
moment. Chambers set Miller away down the right-hand side. Baptiste | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
:21:13. | :21:24. | ||
goes to cover. Yet again there is a Gilks. Forest coming back. What was | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
happening to the Blackpool defence? McGugan with the corner. It is in! | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:45. | ||
Forest have scored. Morgan has Morgan met it. Such a strong | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
presence, and it was a powerful header, too. Gilks saw it late, | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
:22:01. | :22:22. | ||
couldn't keep it out. Steve Blackpool play on. Taylor-Fletcher | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
is free. Phillips strikes and scores! There is the response. | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
Cotterill is absolutely furious, but Philips will not be denied. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Miller is still down, but Phillips very much on his feet and scoring | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
again. Goal number six of the season. And three minutes after | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :23:22. | ||
from everybody. Chambers just came charging through, no one near him. | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:43. | ||
Thankfully, his header was nowhere Phillips was there. Did he knock | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
that back into play when it seemed easy to score? Either way, Ince has | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
got the crowd on their feet. Ince is running round them. It hit the | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
post. Fantastic run. He has come alive. And so has the game and so | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:40. | ||
markers. It was Phillips, he could scores - out of nothing! Forest | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
have the advantage. Blackpool hit the post, but Forest have the goal. | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
He was unmarked. First time through the goalkeeper and into the net. | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
:25:05. | :25:11. | ||
For the second time in the game, Moussi has been booked already. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
That was a deliberate piece of obstruction. It's a yellow and a | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
red card. He is off. He can have no complaints with that. Deliberate | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
abstraction. Nottingham Forest, having taken the lead, are now down | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
:25:38. | :25:39. | ||
gesticulating to the crowd. He jumped over the fence, went almost | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
into the crowd. The stewards were unhappy, the referee was unhappy. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
That is why he was booked. Here is the second challenge. That was | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
quite cynical. Previously it was joyous, that was cynical. The | :25:53. | :26:03. | |
:26:03. | :26:07. | ||
referee, having booked him once, perfectly, but equally matched by | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:23. | ||
corner. Desperate defending. Cotterill can't believe this. This | :26:23. | :26:33. | |
:26:33. | :26:43. | ||
is surely has to be one of the last boys, but two very different | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
reactions, two very different feelings. Because Nottingham Forest, | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
managed by Steve Copnall in his second game in charge, have taken | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
this boils. -- Steve Cotterill. Two games, two wins - it's easy being a | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
manager. Not at all. It's not been easy, it's a difficult place to | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
come. Ian Holloway has done a fantastic job with Blackpool, they | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
are a very good team. Full of good, honest lads. It's a difficult place | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
to come and get results. We are very pleased but tumble in our | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
victory. That's the way football goes sometimes. We did everything | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
but get in front. It looked like we were going to have to come from | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
behind, we have at the other evening. The majority of it I | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
thought we were slightly the better team. Unfortunately, football is | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
about putting the ball in the net. We got down on two set pieces. | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
just come in and be myself. I'm quite optimistic and like to get a | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
bit of spirit going. But no more than that. Maybe changed a couple | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
of things on organisation, if you set plays may be. They seemed happy | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
and they are a good bunch. Steve Cotterill is having to win over the | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
doubters at Nottingham Forest. Two wins out of two - he is on the way. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
Very much so. I think we all knew that they were too good to be down | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
there, they've got some good players. They were knocking on the | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
door of the Premiership last year. Sometimes managers go to clubs... | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
Do you think it's a bit of a nice fit? I do. He was at Notts County, | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
he obviously likes Nottingham. won his first four games at Notts | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
County. They were unbeaten in 14 to begin with. There is clearly | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
something there, do you think he can do that much with Forest? | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
They've given themselves a lot to do but it is the League... They are | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
only seven points of the play-offs. Yeah, there's no reason why they | :28:42. | :28:50. | |
can't have a decent run. One player who was there was Paul Ince's son, | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
Thomas Ince. We saw glimpses of him in a Blackpool should. Glimpses of | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
a real prospect, exciting talent in footballing. I watched Thomas when | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
he was in the youth team. They had a good run in the FA Youth Cup. I | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
think he's an excellent player. He's got some good attributes. He | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
has inherited his father's will to win. He's got a bit of ability as | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
well. As for Blackpool, a setback here but so far they've made a | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
steady job of the start of this season. It is A-League that gives | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
everyone an opportunity. Already there are teams up there that have | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
had bad runs this season but have got themselves in a challenging | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
position. Ipswich springs to mind. They had a terrible start. Yes, it | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
allows you a bit of latitude, there's no doubt about that. You | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
don't have to win every game to be up there. These are good times to | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
be a whole City fan, unbeaten in seven in the league. The Tigers | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
have conceded just three goals in that period. The latest team to try | :29:50. | :30:00. | |
:30:00. | :30:06. | ||
to storm the fortress, that is the from their last three games at home. | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
Watford meanwhile have been struggling for points and goals. | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
Hull, like Watford, have only found the net nine times before today. | :30:17. | :30:23. | |
This early effort was ruled out for a foul on the goalkeeper. Soon | :30:23. | :30:29. | |
after that, the visitors thought they had scored as well. But it was | :30:29. | :30:36. | |
chalked off for offside, correctly. Nine minutes before the break, | :30:36. | :30:44. | |
finally, an actual goal, it was Troy Deeney who claim it, even | :30:44. | :30:54. | |
though it had come off the defender. After the restart, Matt Fryatt made | :30:54. | :31:04. | |
:31:04. | :31:08. | ||
it 1-1. And just before the hour mark, this superb run and cross was | :31:08. | :31:18. | |
met by Chris Iwelumo. But Hull have become a resilient outfit under | :31:18. | :31:24. | |
Nigel Pearson. Liam Rosenior crossed this one for Aaron Maclean | :31:25. | :31:33. | |
to finish. And on a day when statistics took a battering, the | :31:33. | :31:40. | |
final minute provided the most telling of all, Robert Corrine | :31:40. | :31:50. | |
:31:50. | :31:53. | ||
winning it deep into extra time. -- Robert Koren. Barnsley arrived at | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
Cardiff with the home side's strong start to the season faltering. But | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
this was a chance for Cardiff to get their season going again. After | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
10 minutes, they were ahead, through Kenny Miller, who got his | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
fourth league goal of the season. Despite their shaky form, Cardiff | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
have been impressive at home of late. They doubled their advantage | :32:18. | :32:25. | |
after 34 minutes, through substitute Joe Mason. Despite an | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
away record of just one league win this season, Barnsley got one back | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
through Danny Drinkwater at just two minutes later. This was an | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
amazing match, with goals galore. Two minutes later, Cardiff scored | :32:40. | :32:50. | |
again, Whittingham picking out Aron Gunnarsson, who finished superbly. | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
After the break, Barnsley could have got another one, through Denny | :32:55. | :33:05. | |
:33:05. | :33:05. | ||
don't water. -- through Danny Drinkwater. Cardiff got another one | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
thanks to Don Cowie. He went round goalkeeper Luke Steele. Surely that | :33:09. | :33:18. | |
would be enough. But still they pressed forward, and soon, it was | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
five. Aron Gunnarsson was on hand again for his third goal in two | :33:23. | :33:31. | |
league games. But still the scoring was not over. Barnsley threatened a | :33:31. | :33:36. | |
late comeback, with Jim McNulty heading home eight minutes from | :33:36. | :33:44. | |
time. And then they got another, four minutes later, through | :33:44. | :33:54. | |
:33:54. | :34:04. | ||
week had relieved the pressure on Coventry. By contrast, Burnley had | :34:05. | :34:14. | |
:34:15. | :34:18. | ||
gone three games without either a point or a goal. The Coventry front | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
pairing of Lucas Jutkiewicz and Cody McDonald combined, but the | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
goalkeeper thwarted them. Then, Junior Stanislas was given the | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
freedom to roam forward, but the goalkeeper was not quite so | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
accommodating. The first goal finally arrived just before the | :34:37. | :34:45. | |
hour mark. Cody McDonald headed his first goal since his summer move | :34:45. | :34:52. | |
from Gillingham. At the other friend, Stanislas continued to | :34:52. | :34:57. | |
cause problems, but this cross did not get the finish it deserved from | :34:57. | :35:01. | |
substitute Charlie Austin. But it did not take long before he made | :35:01. | :35:11. | |
:35:11. | :35:12. | ||
amends, dummying this one to set-up was Wallace, and Burnley were level. | :35:12. | :35:18. | |
Coventry were forced to play the last few minutes with one man down, | :35:18. | :35:26. | |
thanks to this straight red card for the 18-year-old. And that was | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
followed by some woeful defending. In the fourth minute of six added | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
on by the referee, Charlie has been pounced to seal a dramatic victory | :35:35. | :35:45. | |
:35:45. | :35:46. | ||
for Burnley. -- Charlie Austin. Pompey striker Dave Kitson says | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
they're more United as a team since the recent departure of manager | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
Steve Coppell. Three minutes into this one, the Pompey goalkeeper | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
palmed it long, and Luke Varney got his fourth league goal of the | :36:01. | :36:11. | |
:36:11. | :36:13. | ||
season. -- Steve Cotterill. Pompey threatened a second, but it went | :36:13. | :36:21. | |
wide. Doncaster midfielder Simon Gillett used to play for | :36:21. | :36:30. | |
Southampton. So this goal did not go down very well at Fratton Park. | :36:30. | :36:37. | |
In the second half, Portsmouth went back in front, David Norris guiding | :36:38. | :36:44. | |
the header past the goalkeeper, but seemingly designed -- denied by his | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
teammate, Dave Kitson, who got the final touch. 15 minutes from time, | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
Luke Varney got his second of the match, to make its two wins out of | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
three for Pompey's caretaker manager, Guy Whittingham. So, does | :36:56. | :37:03. | |
he want the job? No. I will say that again, very happy to be | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
leading the team at the moment, and we will do that as long as the club | :37:07. | :37:13. | |
want us to do it, so they have the time to find the right person. | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
a game at the KC Stadium, first of all. Scoring with virtually the | :37:18. | :37:25. | |
last kick of the game, there is real belief about this Hull side. | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
To be fair, this game went completely against the grain. | :37:30. | :37:40. | |
:37:40. | :37:41. | ||
Before this, they had been tied at the back. So for this to finish 3-2, | :37:41. | :37:48. | |
it was quite something. That was a great finish. Great finish from | :37:48. | :37:55. | |
Robert Koren. It has been a while since they scored three goals, I | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
think April was the last time. he builds his sights on a strong | :38:01. | :38:11. | |
defensive Foundation. He would, being a centre half. Two wins out | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
of three for Portsmouth. Interesting comments this week from | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
Dave Kitson, saying that the team are feeling more together since | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
Steve Cotterill has left - what did you make of that? You have got the | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
flip side of the coin. Steve Coppell has gone to Nottingham | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
Forest and got as many points as Steve McClaren got all season. And | :38:30. | :38:36. | |
the same thing has happened down at Portsmouth. It is horses for | :38:36. | :38:42. | |
courses. That is his opinion. I would not want to read anything | :38:42. | :38:50. | |
into it. We do not know the ins and outs of it. Interesting to see a | :38:51. | :38:58. | |
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's name linked with that job. Charlton Athletic in | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
League One began the day top of the pile. Huddersfield were just behind | :39:02. | :39:06. | |
them. Chris Powell's men were looking to take maximum points | :39:06. | :39:16. | |
:39:16. | :39:20. | ||
unbeaten record, Charlton produced precisely the right reaction | :39:20. | :39:29. | |
against Carlisle. They suggested that last week's defeat to | :39:29. | :39:35. | |
Stevenage was no more than a blip. Bradley Wright-Phillips got the | :39:35. | :39:44. | |
second. Wiggins got around the back, and Kermorgant helped himself to | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
his fourth of the season, second of the game. Carlisle have been | :39:49. | :39:56. | |
resilient on the road this season, but once Matthew Robson's second | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
yellow card concluded a miserable first half, it was always going to | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
be a case of how many for Charlton. In the end, it was only four. This | :40:04. | :40:11. | |
one was the worst of the lot from Carlisle's point of view. Danny | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
Hollands' effort went through the legs of the goalkeeper. No such | :40:16. | :40:25. | |
worries for the Charlton 'keeper. He preserved the clean sheet by | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
:40:35. | :40:39. | ||
keeping out this penalty. Before this game, the Huddersfield manager, | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
Lee Clark, said that Jordan Rhodes had enjoyed an astonishing week | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
after his hat-trick seven days ago. Today, he was gifted the opener | :40:47. | :40:53. | |
after just four minutes following a mistake by the Preston 'keeper. At | :40:53. | :41:03. | |
:41:03. | :41:07. | ||
the other end, 40-year-old Ian Bennett showed superb agility. | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
Jordan Rhodes is forging a real name for himself with his | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
goalscoring, at just 21 years old. And his hat-trick arrived three | :41:17. | :41:27. | |
:41:27. | :41:29. | ||
minutes before the hour. There was still time for the visitors to get | :41:29. | :41:39. | |
:41:39. | :41:40. | ||
one back on 61 minutes, but the damage had been done, despite | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
Juvhel Tsoumou's goal. I have played with many great strikers, | :41:45. | :41:52. | |
fantastic goalscorers, among the best in the business, but they did | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
not have a goal ratio like that. I cannot remember it in professional | :41:58. | :42:04. | |
football. So we hope it continues, Jordan has got to be sky high in | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
his confidence. He's a modest lad, so he will not go overboard, but he | :42:10. | :42:15. | |
deserves all the plaudits. Sheffield Wednesday are enjoying | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
their best start to a season at Hillsborough in more than half-a- | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
century. Gary Madine hit the bar. It was double disappointment for | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
him after having a goal disallowed in the first half. Gary Madine is | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
the leading scorer in League One, but he was denied this time by the | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
goalkeeper Ben Williams, although Jones was on hand to put it in. | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
Wednesday were on their way to a seventh successive home League win. | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
Gary Madine was making himself a nuisance again, and Johnson picked | :42:48. | :42:58. | |
:42:58. | :43:06. | ||
Lane, as Uwe Rosler's antics set the tone for a bizarre encounter. | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
He repeatedly attempted to obstruct Alan Sheehan, as he tried to take | :43:12. | :43:18. | |
this free kick. It was inevitable but loathe him Oslo would get sent | :43:18. | :43:28. | |
:43:28. | :43:31. | ||
to the stands. -- it was inevitable that Uwe Rosler would get sent to | :43:31. | :43:41. | |
:43:41. | :43:41. | ||
the stands. Hughes converted his one from the penalty spot. If | :43:41. | :43:48. | |
anyone was still enjoying their half-time drinks, here's what you | :43:48. | :43:55. | |
missed. Barely 10 seconds had elapsed before Clayton Donaldson | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
hammered in this stunning equaliser for Brentford. A draw was the final | :43:59. | :44:09. | |
:44:09. | :44:13. | ||
outcome, both sides losing ground on the promotion chasers. It was an | :44:13. | :44:18. | |
ill-tempered occasion, but Uwe Rosler was unrepentant afterwards. | :44:18. | :44:25. | |
I think I did everything correct as to my technical area. I stood still. | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
Probably the person who did the free kick was not happy that I | :44:28. | :44:34. | |
stood there, but I was in my technical area. In addition to that, | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
my colleague left his technical area and came into my technical | :44:38. | :44:48. | |
:44:48. | :44:48. | ||
area. And then I got sent off. We will definitely be approaching the | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
football League, and I think justice will be done, I believe in | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
justice, so I'm quite confident that on Tuesday I will be on the | :44:56. | :45:04. | |
bench. Despite sitting in a play- off spot, MK Dons only had one win | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
in their last seven matches. They came close to breaking the deadlock | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
with this header. In the second half, this free kick evaded | :45:12. | :45:22. | |
:45:22. | :45:27. | ||
everyone but goalkeeper David better chance to take three points | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
this season. But this Lunch left the referee no option but to show a | :45:31. | :45:36. | |
red card. Down to ten men, Leyton Orient were unable to contain the | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
Blades, who sensed victory. Stephen Quinn made the most of the extra | :45:41. | :45:47. | |
space, and his this heat shot found Chris Porter. The former Derby man | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
made no mistake. With six minutes to go, surely won't going to throw | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
away a lead, but the South Yorkshire side showed their | :45:55. | :46:01. | |
defensive frailty. Simonsen didn't get there and Kevin Lisbie struck | :46:01. | :46:09. | |
to light up the stadium as Leyton Orient are now unbeaten in four. | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
With boasts the lights on losing run something had to give between | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
Chesterfield and Hartlepool. Chesterfield seized the initiative | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
with Leon Clarke's 7th in eight. With Tommy Lee breaking down in the | :46:22. | :46:28. | |
warm-up, this week Punch led to the equaliser. Paul Murray with the | :46:28. | :46:37. | |
finish. Two minutes later, Hartlepool were ahead. Sir James | :46:37. | :46:43. | |
Paul steering a beauty inside the far post. He was signed from | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
Manchester City to give himself some gain time. Embarrassment of | :46:46. | :46:56. | |
:46:56. | :46:56. | ||
riches might have helped them. This provoked some Impromptus all | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
dancing. Chesterfield cannot stop the rot. This consolation goal | :47:01. | :47:11. | |
:47:11. | :47:15. | ||
could not prevent their 5th failure something special to separate the | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
sides and it was provided by Robbie Weir with half an hour remaining. | :47:20. | :47:29. | |
:47:30. | :47:36. | ||
on target as the captain headed home the cross. This time last | :47:37. | :47:41. | |
season he was playing for Havant and Waterlooville, but having | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
arrived at Prenton Park in the summer he scored his first goal in | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
professional football with 10 minutes to go when he showed great | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
improvisation to convert the pullback. Full marks for the finish | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
but they need some work. The visitors were denied what would | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
have been a superb equaliser which the free kick saw go a couple of | :48:00. | :48:10. | |
inches too high. Just one win in nine for Walsall. Olda made easy | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
work of Wycombe Wanderers at Boundary Park. All the scoring | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
cumin and second half with Chris Taylor making the most of the slip. | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
The ball steered into the corner. The home side were in no mood to | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
relent. Robbie Simpson thought he doubled the lead and would have had | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
it not been for Super defending. The points were sealed nine minutes | :48:32. | :48:40. | |
from time. A beautiful finish to return Paul Dickov's side to | :48:40. | :48:50. | |
:48:50. | :48:52. | ||
winning ways. Murphy's law dictated this would be a goalless draw. That | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
and the controversial decision from Ian Williamson. Mark Roberts had | :48:55. | :49:03. | |
the ball and the Net but a penalty and a red card was awarded. The | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
spot kick was saved, a second miss from the spot in three games from | :49:08. | :49:18. | |
:49:18. | :49:19. | ||
for Bournemouth in recent weeks. Lee Bradbury's site were without a | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
win since August the they took the lead four minutes before half site | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
when Mark Pugh was on hand to hit home his 7th of the season. A few | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
minutes later he should have become provider. His cross found ways | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
Thomas, whose search for a goal a home goes on although he won't come | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
across immediate -- easy opportunity. From the resulting | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
goal kick, the goal came, giving the travelling fans something to | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
cheer about. They will well and truly off their feet a minute since | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
the second half and the turnaround has completed one and the bishop | :49:51. | :49:57. | |
gave the sheikh is the lead. The Cherries pushed for an equaliser as | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
the second half went on. Thomas failing to convert a close-range | :50:01. | :50:11. | |
:50:11. | :50:15. | ||
header as the visitors held on. Now just four home points this season. | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
Rochdale started well at St James' Park. But Trotman was denied | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
brilliantly. Nathan Eccleston is on a month's loan from Liverpool and | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
made an instant him back. Ashley Grimes crossing for his debut goal. | :50:31. | :50:39. | |
This week, a group of Greek fans set up a siege mentality support | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
for Paul Tisdale. Not Pirlo equalising on the stroke of half- | :50:43. | :50:50. | |
time. That was the boost of a home side needed. J Taylor was fouled | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
after the break, and the power shift was complete. Converting from | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
the spot, punishing for -- of visitors for the earlier | :50:58. | :51:04. | |
opportunities. The points were made safe nine minutes from time. | :51:04. | :51:10. | |
Wholeness gave the ball away and he laid in J Taylor to see all three | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
points and lift Exeter of the bottom of the table at the expense | :51:13. | :51:23. | |
That will do Exeter's Conference the world of good. We have to talk | :51:23. | :51:31. | |
about Jordan Rhodes. I just told you, 14 in -- in club and country. | :51:31. | :51:36. | |
He to his incredible. Absolutely brilliant. He is a young lad but | :51:36. | :51:46. | |
:51:46. | :51:48. | ||
has the physical stature of someone a lot older. That is a good finish. | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
Be chairman said they don't have to sell the star players until January. | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
That will reassure the fans, Wendy? It cause, they are flying. They | :51:57. | :52:03. | |
sold Pilkington in the summer and they are a club that if anything | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
will go the other way. There is no reason they should let anyone go. | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
It looks as if they might be in. And interesting build-up to the | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
game involving Notts County and Brentford. Martin Allen had to say | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
something about the budget of Brentford, but what about this, | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
with the manager getting in the way of the Notts County free kick? | :52:25. | :52:33. | |
is classic, comic strip. This is fantastic. You look at the player, | :52:33. | :52:40. | |
and you wonder if he can get any closer. Martin has had enough of | :52:40. | :52:46. | |
this. I am surprised it took him that long. He is not holding back. | :52:46. | :52:52. | |
He is playing the straight man brilliantly. Fantastic. All good | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
fun. The funny thing is, he said afterwards that Martin Allen let | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
the technical area so he should be reprimanded. He has actually not do | :53:00. | :53:06. | |
anything wrong. Shall we say was not quite in the spirit of the game. | :53:06. | :53:10. | |
Sheffield Wednesday have played a good few home games, but seven | :53:10. | :53:15. | |
consecutive victories, their best home league start for 50 years. I | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
think you said in the past that the big following at Hillsborough can | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
put more pressure on, but the players, credit to them are turning | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
it on. The only way brings pressure is if you don't go out and give | :53:28. | :53:34. | |
everything. It brings pressure if you don't get results. Then people | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
become introverted. But they are getting results and a big crowd, | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
they are knowledgeable and passionate. And they get behind you. | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
There are 22 or 23,000 people and that is a bonus for anyone. You | :53:47. | :53:51. | |
want to go and play all four boy in front of big crowds. Absolutely. | :53:51. | :53:56. | |
Well done to Tranmere whose flying start goes on. Last season AFC | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
Wimbledon versus Crawley Town was a conference game played out between | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
teams desperate to reach the Football League. They both arrived | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
and in some style. Crawley were top of League 2 with Wimbledon in six. | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
We went to the game of the day to see to get -- different teams to | :54:12. | :54:22. | |
:54:22. | :54:22. | ||
There is always a degree of trepidation for clubs coming out of | :54:22. | :54:27. | |
the Conference and into the Football League, and AFC and | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
Crawley have continued where they left off. There is a symmetry to | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
the achievement of the clubs. In the blue corner, A F C Wimbledon, | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
who a decade ago did not even exist but whose five promotions in nine | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
seasons have brought their famous name back into the Football League. | :54:44. | :54:49. | |
And in the red corner, Crawley Town, who have overcome all manner of | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
off-the-field problems in the past few years to become one of English | :54:52. | :55:00. | |
football's most upwardly mobile clubs. At the end of the day, | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
whether we have won all last, and hope fully we will win, but in the | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
end, it is nine years since we didn't have a club and that is the | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
most important thing. Look at all the people here and the Times | :55:12. | :55:22. | |
:55:22. | :55:22. | ||
people are having come we can Is the reality of being back in the | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
lead as good as the dream? Without a doubt. Totally. It is only a | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
dream that has started. Some of the fans have put so much of Virginia | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
has been brilliant. We have enjoyed every minute and seen all the new | :55:38. | :55:48. | |
clubs, so it's been excellent. fans of good and realistic to enjoy | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
the year. This was always going to be a fun year provided we were not | :55:53. | :55:59. | |
scored sit -- skirting the danger, and hopefully we can avoid the drop. | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
We have tended to lose two teams below us and there doesn't seem to | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
be a massive difference. I don't want to be churlish because no one | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
reason -- under obligation to answer the question that this was | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
the point when we were talking to the Crawley chief-executive, but | :56:15. | :56:20. | |
late afternoon they put a stop to it on the board and a thing we want | :56:20. | :56:25. | |
to concentrate on the club's administration. And the new | :56:25. | :56:35. | |
:56:35. | :56:36. | ||
prosperity, we don't, just the fact that the team are flying again. Is | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
there a cultural paranoia about the club, you won't talk to us. | :56:41. | :56:51. | |
:56:51. | :56:52. | ||
Everything we do good, people pick on us. Another team scores a goal | :56:52. | :57:02. | |
:57:02. | :57:02. | ||
against us and it is like they have won the FA Cup. We have not gone | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
into the Premiership and it rising football stars. They have got the | :57:07. | :57:13. | |
wrong end of the stick, the people who think we are money bags. Just | :57:13. | :57:18. | |
31 miles separate these teams and they romped to the top of the | :57:18. | :57:26. | |
league by 15 points. Wimbledon had to get promotion via the play-offs. | :57:26. | :57:32. | |
The rivalry with Crawley, what is it about? To be honest, Steve and I | :57:32. | :57:38. | |
have known each other for ages. He's as good as gold off the pitch. | :57:38. | :57:45. | |
It is hard work. Every other manager be one to win games against | :57:45. | :57:55. | |
:57:55. | :57:55. | ||
our opponents. They are the local delivered the goods. The corner | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
sliced into his own net by Chris borsch. With nine minutes on the | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
clock, a case of deja-vu. This corner causing problems, but Chris | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
Davies headed home his first for the club. If you want a definition | :58:08. | :58:12. | |
of mixed emotions, it was provided by Davies. Just seconds later he | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
went up the other end and put into his own net after good work from | :58:16. | :58:23. | |
Max Porter. Suddenly, the MK -- Wimbledon were right back in the as | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
the first of ebbed and flowed. The visitors thought they had done | :58:26. | :58:32. | |
enough, but they have other ideas as the shot levelled the score -- | :58:32. | :58:39. | |
cause before half-time. The manager watched before half-time after he | :58:39. | :58:42. | |
was threatened to substitute before he was sent off. The referee | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
redeemed himself in the eyes of Evans after awarding his side a | :58:46. | :58:51. | |
penalty. Matt tubs stepping up to score his night of the season. Five | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
minutes later the visitors were able to re-establish their two-goal | :58:54. | :59:00. | |
cushion. Not the most orthodox of goals as a combination of hesitant | :59:01. | :59:06. | |
defending allowed this to be headed home. Jerry Brown said his side put | :59:06. | :59:11. | |
in a shocking defensive display and the Red Devils showed no mercy. | :59:11. | :59:16. | |
They made it five with four minutes remaining. Boorman had never scored | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
a brace, but he has now. Plenty of questions for Wimbledon and plenty | :59:20. | :59:29. | |
:59:30. | :59:30. | ||
One of those days when you have to accept they are a little further | :59:30. | :59:35. | |
down the line I knew. Yeah, the goals were hideous, absolutely | :59:35. | :59:40. | |
hideous. Three corners, three goals. We've conceded eight goals in the | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
last two games at home. We've struggled. You can't keep bouncing | :59:45. | :59:52. | |
back from diabolical defending. That's what we had today. | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
Unfortunately, Steve Evans didn't want to speak to us after the game. | :59:55. | :59:59. | |
You would think that after the terrific start Crawley had made | :59:59. | :00:03. | |
that they'd be shouting about it from the rooftops. This reminds me | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
of the Huddersfield Brentford game, when a lot of people take | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
Huddersfield to beat Brentford and Huddersfield went and won 4-0. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Everybody else in the division will be taking a sharp intake of breath | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
when they see that. They are no shrinking violets. The it had a | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
good season so far. Less get more from League Two. We begin our | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
round-up of the team and second, Paul Sturrock's side were on a run | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
of six league matches unbeaten going into their home game against | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:47. | ||
game to life after a goalless first half. With the half-time team talk | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
still ringing in their ears, Ferdinand set them on their way. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Seven minutes later, the striker was at it again. Neil Harris with a | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
quality delivery. The 19-year-old volleyed in his third of the | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
campaign. 2-0 up and cruising towards an eighth game undefeated. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Southend were to press on their dominance in a four goal 24 minutes | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
to spell. Timlin the architect for the club. They still weren't | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
finished. The Philips rose highest to meet this corner. Tokyo showed | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
brief signs of life in the closing stages. Mansell's strike was | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
deflected by Marc Ellis. Despite the emphatic nature of the winner, | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Sderot says there is still plenty of room for improvement. It was | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
disappointing for me. We should be starting games like we started the | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
second half. We don't seem to get to the right tempo. It could cost a | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
prevent Gillingham ended Doxford unbeaten run. They were undefeated | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
in eight matches upon arrival at the priest Field stadium. They fell | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
behind at the stroke of half-time to a spectacular strike from Lewis | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Montrose. For Oxford, this was a story of missed opportunities. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
There were over 40 minutes still to play when Joe Martin received a | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
second booking for a foul on Robert Hall. But still Gillingham recorded | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
a rare clean sheet, even when Montrose saw red for a rash | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
challenge on a Sopore. But the nine men hung on the, ensuring that the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
manager stayed even-tempered. not going to be too harsh on the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
lad. He's a fantastic player and still learning the game. I was | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
really pleased with him, a fantastic goal he scored, he's won | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
the game for us. On the balance of play, Accrington had just about | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
edged the first half of their Friday-night home game to | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Cheltenham. However, they trailed at the break. Goulding had only | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
been on the pitch a matter of seconds when he broke the deadlock. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
His impact was immediate, and it was a lead the visitors could have | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
doubled in the second half. But Bennett's shot was cleared off the | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
line. Five wins in a row now for the Robins. Despite a run of five | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
defeats, Rotherham United boss Andy Scott told his players to enjoy | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
themselves against Shrewsbury. That advice resonated with Grabham. -- | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
Grabban. Shrewsbury hit back before half-time. Grandison headed back | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
across goal for Cansdell-Sherriff to volley home. Morecambe prevailed | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
in this clash between promotion contenders. Port Vale must be sick | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
of the side of Jason Price. He scored against them for Barnet and | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
August and did the same after Tomlinson Guardian this shot. The | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
ambitious free-kick had Tomlinson back pedalling furiously. Port Vale | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
have broken scoring records this season. Unfortunately, they | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
conceded a few as well. Though not too many have been as good as | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Alessandra's quality finish. Port Vale have and one in any of their | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
games against sides in the top part of the table. That unwanted record | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
threatens their promotion challenge Paul Stout Morecambe made sure of | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
leapfrogging their hosts in League Two after bringing down MacDonald | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
in the box. Wilson scored from the shot to strengthen the already | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
impressive away record. Andrew Fleming added a fourth in the 90th | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:48. | ||
minute. Morecambe's unbeaten run in a match at Burton, as they went in | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
search of back-to-back wins for the first time this season. They took | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
the lead after 15 minutes when Harold latched on to Stanley's | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
free-kick. After defeat at Cheltenham in their last match, the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
brewers were looking to avoid successive defeats. They conjured | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
up an equaliser when Taylor fired home three minutes before the half- | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
:05:15. | :05:30. | ||
hour. 10 minutes before half-time, this one. Griffiths' header | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
bringing a terrific save. Paolo Di Canio in third the goal wouldn't | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
have looked out of place in the Champions League. De Vita adding | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
the exclamation point to the move will. The defeat leaves the | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
pilgrims four points adrift at the bottom. With three league wins out | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
of four, Macclesfield continued to climb the table. That streakers | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
coincided with Ross Draper weighing in with some valuable goals from | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
midfield. This was his third of the unbeaten four match run. This local | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
derby was taking place for the second time in three weeks. On this | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
occasion they avenge their cup defeats, they survived a few scares. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Sean Miller was centimetres away from finding the same corner as | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
Draper. The same post later prevented to draw from levelling | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
the scores. Back-to-back wins put Macclesfield in a striking distance | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
of the play-off places. Both sides came into this one off the back of | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
defeats, and both are nervously looking over their shoulder at the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
wrong end of the table. But it was the home striker almost struck | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
first. It was the visitors who broke the deadlock. Jacobs is only | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
19 years old, but was named player of the year last season. He had | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
this thunderbolt of a strike, his fourth of the season. Bradford were | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
given a route back into the game when the referee deemed that Andy | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
Holt handled Ryan's cross. Fagans stepped off to fire home his second | :07:13. | :07:23. | |
:07:23. | :07:38. | ||
Bradford back-to- back home wins. - the Carling Cup, Aldershot have | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
lost five in a row. But the Premier League champions are riding on | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Tuesday, they put in a performance to remember. It took just three | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
minutes for McGlashan to open the scoring. Darren Jones and Danny | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Hylton were left out, so they couldn't miss the cup game. The | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
calculated risk seemed the sensible option when Vincenti made it two. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Certainly a moment to enjoy. Dagenham and Redbridge couldn't | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
contain their visitors. When Rankin was felt by this challenge... It | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
:08:22. | :08:38. | ||
was an easy decision for the to restore the three-goal lead | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
before the half-time whistle. His diving header quashed any faint | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
hopes of a Dagenham comeback. They were next to score. McCrory making | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the most of his reprieve, after the FA overturned a red card he | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
received last week. It was definitely a day to forget for the | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
home side. There was still time for a 5th, as the brash and added some | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
cemetary to proceedings. Having opened the scoring, he finished it. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
It's onwards and upwards for Aldershot. This sparkling | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
performance will certainly give Sir Alex something to think about. Even | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
at this stage of the season, Hereford verses Barnett had the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
ring of a six-pointer. From the moment Harry Patel struck the bar, | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
a decisive shift in the relegation battle looked on the cards. -- | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
:09:40. | :09:42. | ||
rosy after this result. A rattle of the woodwork from Ricky homes | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
wasn't enough to prevent them climbing out of the bottom two. A | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
good run for Hereford. Stand-out performance was Morecambe, away to | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Port Vale. To get turned over their 7-2 last season and to come back | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
with your first win in five with this scintillating performance. | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
Absolutely. They have a fantastic start but this is a magnificent | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
result at a tough place to go. That was a super finish. A really good | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
result was if ever there was the perfect preparation to play | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Manchester United in the Carling Cup, Aldershot came up with it. It | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
hasn't gone according to plan since they beat Carlisle, sorry, Rochdale, | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
in the Cup. This was a fantastic one. This was the sort of game that | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
you want to play and do well in because everybody butt macro we | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
should say well done to Cheltenham and Macclesfield. They continued to | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
defy the odds. As does this man next to me. 45 years old and the | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
21st club you are representing today, Gosport Borough in the FA | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
Trophy. It was Roy of the Rovers stuff, because he came up with the | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
winning goal. A great day for you. I did have a best on and do this. - | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
- vest. I'm only for pounds heavier than I was when I started. It was | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
great fun. It turned out to be the winner. It seemed an awful long | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
time since I'd scored in the end of the game. And you played all but | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
four minutes. I did. I enjoyed it. And you still made it here tonight. | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
:11:38. | :11:40. | ||
Well done. Let's take a look at the automatic promotion spot after | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
their fourth consecutive win. Morecambe and Gillingham both keep | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
pace with the top three. It's getting pretty tied in the top | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
