0:00:10 > 0:00:14Evening. With less than ten games to go for teams in the Football
0:00:14 > 0:00:17League, it's all about coping with the pressure at this stage of the
0:00:17 > 0:00:20season, as three managers found to their cost in the last week, with
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Burton, Macclesfield and Rotherham all opting for a change in
0:00:23 > 0:00:27management. Well, Steve's here to look at the best of today's 32
0:00:27 > 0:00:31games. And here's a taster then of what's coming up tonight. Reading
0:00:31 > 0:00:33started the day in second but the games aren't getting any easier for
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Brian McDermott's men. They took on play-off chasers Blackpool, aiming
0:00:37 > 0:00:40to derail the Royals promotion charge. Keeping an eye on events
0:00:40 > 0:00:49from the Madejski were Southampton and West Ham the Saints welcomed
0:00:49 > 0:00:55Doncaster on Saturday while the Hammers were on the road at Burnley.
0:00:55 > 0:01:04It was a big day for Nigel Pearson with the less that bus up against
0:01:04 > 0:01:11Hull. Both sides harbouring desires for the play-offs. We are right in
0:01:11 > 0:01:16the thick of it with Dagenham & Redbridge as they face another
0:01:16 > 0:01:21crucial game in the fight for survival against Accrington Stanley.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Real fly it on the wall stuff, but more on that later. But to the
0:01:26 > 0:01:35promotion battle at the top of the Championship, Reading took on
0:01:35 > 0:01:45Blackpool. Nine wins out of 11 move them into the automatic promotion
0:01:45 > 0:01:50
0:01:50 > 0:01:57Reading hope they have timed their run just tried to grab one of the
0:01:57 > 0:02:02automatic spots. The feeling here is that Tuesday's defeat is a blip
0:02:02 > 0:02:06and normal service here has been winning. It is never easy against
0:02:06 > 0:02:14Blackpool, frustratingly inconsistent. But one of the most
0:02:14 > 0:02:24dangerous teams in the Championship. Jason Roberts has been ruled out

0:05:16 > 0:05:22goalscorer. Blackpool appealing for offside but the flag stays down.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Ian Harte has his second of the season with his right foot. What
0:05:28 > 0:05:32about this strike, against the left post, against the right. And just
0:05:32 > 0:05:37when Blackpool thought they have got lucky, they saw the ball rolled
0:05:37 > 0:05:47to a grateful Ian Harte that even with his weaker foot, could not

0:06:45 > 0:06:52are on course for another victory. Who was supposed to be picking of
0:06:52 > 0:07:02Alex Piers? The build up was slow, Blackpool switched off and he
0:07:02 > 0:07:20
0:07:20 > 0:07:30guided it into the corner of the back before half-time. What a
0:07:30 > 0:07:30
0:07:30 > 0:07:40fantastic strike. VAT had the goalkeeper grasping thin air and
0:07:40 > 0:07:41
0:07:41 > 0:07:49has Blackpool back in again. LuaLua got to have plenty of Dick and
0:07:49 > 0:07:59power in his drive and Blackpool keep up their record of scoring in
0:07:59 > 0:08:03
0:08:03 > 0:08:09every game in 2012. That was a real chance of Phillips. How did he miss
0:08:09 > 0:08:14that? Of all the people you would want that to fall too, is Kevin
0:08:14 > 0:08:20Philips. Blackpool will feel they should be level. It was a wonderful
0:08:20 > 0:08:29shot. Kevin Phillips from almost under the bark, clears the bar. It
0:08:29 > 0:08:33is the last bit of action from a very entertaining first half. He
0:08:33 > 0:08:41Kevin Phillips on the stroke of half-time almost equalised,
0:08:41 > 0:08:51although he was in an offside position, the flag was raised. No
0:08:51 > 0:09:15
0:09:15 > 0:09:20the stadium will still carry his name. What a magnificent job he has
0:09:20 > 0:09:30done in establishing this club. His dream is to get them back into the
0:09:30 > 0:09:57
0:09:57 > 0:10:03purchase on it. He has had several the only player that has been
0:10:03 > 0:10:13booked today. Just the free kick given, no further punishment given
0:10:13 > 0:10:13
0:10:13 > 0:10:23to Blackpool or their right back. A free header, 3-1, and not for the
0:10:23 > 0:10:35
0:10:35 > 0:10:45first time today asked the question, macro goal cushion again. Gently
0:10:45 > 0:10:53
0:10:53 > 0:10:59We defended well and I thought we pass the ball well. We attacked
0:10:59 > 0:11:07with a real good tempo and to go into-0, but they scored a fantastic
0:11:07 > 0:11:12goal. We scored a fantastic third goal just before 70 minutes. We are
0:11:12 > 0:11:17happy, it is a good win against a good side. Lots of aspects of the
0:11:17 > 0:11:22game we are getting good and doing well. But the simple things, when a
0:11:22 > 0:11:27free kick is given, the ball is floated into the box and it seems
0:11:27 > 0:11:32we are a bunch of statues. So disappointed, it is frightening. I
0:11:32 > 0:11:40had a feeling the first two might have been offside, it was very
0:11:40 > 0:11:48close, I was not happy with the 4th official, or the referee. At the
0:11:48 > 0:11:53end of the day, we did nothing. Unfortunately, I thought we were a
0:11:53 > 0:11:58better start -- side at the start of the game. But if you cannot deal
0:11:58 > 0:12:03with set pieces, you don't deserve to do anything. Ian Holloway is
0:12:03 > 0:12:12furious with the defending, are you surprised at how much space you
0:12:12 > 0:12:17got? I am, no one seemed to pick me up. I was delighted to get on the
0:12:17 > 0:12:24end of Ian Harte's passes. It is who gets their form right between
0:12:24 > 0:12:30now and the end of April? Absolutely. Not mincing his words,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34but as far as Reading is concerned, you cannot keep a good side down
0:12:34 > 0:12:40like Reading? Probably nine times out of 10, you know what you're
0:12:40 > 0:12:47going to get with Reading, they are consistent and they know their jobs
0:12:47 > 0:12:52and they do it. They did not help and they do it. They did not help
0:12:52 > 0:13:01themselves and it was highlighted with the third goal. A on dead-ball
0:13:01 > 0:13:05situations, marking is non-existent. This is basic defending. This is a
0:13:05 > 0:13:10sense a midfielder who was a centre half before he went to Reading. He
0:13:10 > 0:13:14is a big lad, decent in the air and has to be Mark. It's only at the
0:13:14 > 0:13:21end we see a defender coming in and making a challenge, but it is too
0:13:21 > 0:13:25late. I have got a job to do, and that is to Marques someone. Until
0:13:25 > 0:13:35the danger is gone I have to see that job out, but they did not do
0:13:35 > 0:13:38
0:13:38 > 0:13:45that. Other players in the Reading squad will have them as they fight
0:13:45 > 0:13:50for automatic promotion? I think they kept 26 clean sheets last year,
0:13:50 > 0:13:56you know what you are going to get. They don't change too much, their
0:13:56 > 0:14:00shape or the balance, the key bit familiar. Everybody knows the jobs,
0:14:00 > 0:14:06they have consistency and they have managed to stay relatively injury-
0:14:06 > 0:14:16free. They are looking in good shape. What about Blackpool? They
0:14:16 > 0:14:16
0:14:16 > 0:14:20have conceded 18 in eight. They are In a game like that, you haven't
0:14:20 > 0:14:24been opened up. He does not like the team playing, it is basic
0:14:24 > 0:14:29defending, that is all it is. A man has his job to do, you do it, you
0:14:29 > 0:14:33see it through and move on. They did not do that. They will work
0:14:33 > 0:14:39hard in training, that is for sure. That win for Reading keeps up the
0:14:39 > 0:14:49pressure for Southampton and West Ham. Saints went in search of their
0:14:49 > 0:14:53
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Southampton especially after 11 games unbeaten and six wins from
0:14:57 > 0:15:00the last seven for Nigel Adkins's team. The former Doncaster striker
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Billy Sharp signed to pep up the push back to the Premier League
0:15:05 > 0:15:10started for the first time in a month. Rovers have missed him. Dean
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Saunders' side have win -- have managed one win since Sharp left.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19How different it would have been if this header was on target.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Inevitably the stage was set for Sharp to make his mark. Almost an
0:15:23 > 0:15:29hour was played when he headed his second Saints goal to remind
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Doncaster what they are lacking. In fact Sharp had the chance to make
0:15:32 > 0:15:38did a double immediately afterwards. But he did not get his aim just
0:15:38 > 0:15:43right. When Doncaster last visited St Mary's, they claimed their
0:15:43 > 0:15:48first-ever victory there. But Sharp made sure it would not happen again,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52although it was with the assistance. Sharp's second of the match
0:15:52 > 0:15:57clinched the points and earned him a booking for over celebrating.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Southampton are now nine points clear of West Ham. These two Mike
0:16:00 > 0:16:06Read teams looked to be heading in opposite directions. It is part of
0:16:06 > 0:16:10my job to score goals. I am -- it is a lucky that it was against them
0:16:10 > 0:16:14but I had to do it today. Southampton pay my wages now and I
0:16:14 > 0:16:19am glad I scored goals. Two good goals, he has come in at worked
0:16:19 > 0:16:24hard behind the scenes. We have exceptionally good strikers and he
0:16:24 > 0:16:29has had to wait and worked very hard and today he has capitalised.
0:16:29 > 0:16:36Typical, Billy scores two, we sell him to Southampton and he comes
0:16:36 > 0:16:40back and warns us. West Ham may possess the best away record and a
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Championship but they still sit outside the automatic promotion
0:16:45 > 0:16:48places. The Clarets have won one of their five games in 2012 have got
0:16:48 > 0:16:53off to the worst possible start. The Carlton Cole could not get to
0:16:53 > 0:16:57grips with the angle. Barkley was born in Reading and may have done
0:16:57 > 0:17:03his hometown club a huge favour when he weaved through the defence
0:17:03 > 0:17:10at just about found the finish. Having supplied the vital pass the
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Burnley's opener, Paterson need in his first goal of 2012, Burnley
0:17:15 > 0:17:19well on course to burst West Ham's promotion bubble. When Nolan's
0:17:19 > 0:17:23header was ruled out it looked like the Hammers woods to come to a
0:17:23 > 0:17:31defeat, the first since January. Then Carlton Cole somehow missed
0:17:31 > 0:17:36from one yard. Nolan missed from two. At this stage it looked like
0:17:36 > 0:17:43being one of those days. A frenetic first half ended with the home side
0:17:43 > 0:17:46almost extending their lead further. Wallis was denied by the post. Sam
0:17:46 > 0:17:53Allardyce said he was stunned to beat two goals down at the break
0:17:53 > 0:18:01but two goals in two minutes turned it around. The Hammers macro had
0:18:01 > 0:18:04hope -- hope and Tomkins was the unlikely scorer. They might have
0:18:04 > 0:18:08returned to East London with three points had Baldock taken a late
0:18:08 > 0:18:14chance but West Ham are four points shy of Reading in second after a
0:18:14 > 0:18:175th successive draw. We are disappointed with the goals
0:18:17 > 0:18:21conceded because they were avoidable but in the end we have
0:18:21 > 0:18:27played against a top side, we have a point. It should have been three
0:18:27 > 0:18:31but that is football. We score a lot of goals away from home at
0:18:31 > 0:18:37Watford, Forrest, Blackpool, places like that, but we did not created
0:18:37 > 0:18:40many chances as today. We had two and that is coming back from 2-0
0:18:40 > 0:18:46down and we did not deserve that but it is a massive disappointment
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Forest, having done so much to win the game.
0:18:52 > 0:19:00There was little doubt who was the hero at the City Ground following
0:19:00 > 0:19:05forest's 7th -- 7-3 thrashing in midweek. Steve Cotterill's side had
0:19:05 > 0:19:09a majority of the chances and were unlucky not to take a first-half
0:19:09 > 0:19:18lead from Andy Reid's free kick. Into the second half not in a

0:19:30 > 0:19:35-- the Brighton keeper. Whereas Nottingham Forrest found the net on
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Wednesday, the look was against them today. This player hit the
0:19:40 > 0:19:47post. Shortly afterwards the woodwork proved Brighton's last
0:19:47 > 0:19:52line of defence yet again. Pinball ended with this tame effort,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55evading or obstacles. Except the far post. Bighton looked to be
0:19:55 > 0:19:59heading for victory until in stoppage time they day started to
0:19:59 > 0:20:04unravel. Sparrow marked his first appearance since his red card
0:20:04 > 0:20:08against Leicester in early February would another, he picked up two
0:20:08 > 0:20:12yellow cards in the space of 20 minutes. That dismissal proved
0:20:12 > 0:20:18costly because four minutes into time added on by an's three points
0:20:18 > 0:20:24became one as Forrest equalised through lynched and you can guess
0:20:24 > 0:20:28who was by far the happier of the two managers. We were good value
0:20:28 > 0:20:32for the three points that we did not get the luck. We did not get
0:20:32 > 0:20:36luck. We played very well. There was an excellent team spirit about
0:20:36 > 0:20:40us. To score such a late goal, it would have been easy to have
0:20:40 > 0:20:44knocked off and accepted a defeat, they did not do that. The fans were
0:20:44 > 0:20:50tremendous today. Between them and the players and their spirit, but

0:20:57 > 0:21:05all. Away from home, the pitch was perfect, there was no excuse. We
0:21:05 > 0:21:09need to sort a few things away from home because I don't like it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Promotion-chasing Middlesbrough have won the two of their last
0:21:13 > 0:21:17seven home games going into their clash with Bristol City who failed
0:21:17 > 0:21:21to win ten of their last 11. The Robins have never lost the
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Riverside. Ephraim has played Premier League and League 1
0:21:24 > 0:21:32football this season. This was his Bristol City debut having signed on

0:22:13 > 0:22:17to be the last man and he had to go but Middlesbrough were frustrated
0:22:17 > 0:22:23in their attempts to make the extra man count. With the benefit of
0:22:23 > 0:22:26seeing it again a think he slipped and has collided, you can
0:22:26 > 0:22:31understand why the decision has been made but I thought the referee
0:22:31 > 0:22:35should not have made a decision on his own. We were not good enough
0:22:35 > 0:22:40today to get the three points. Like a lot of teams that is the third
0:22:40 > 0:22:48game in a week. It is hard to find the intensity both mentally and
0:22:48 > 0:22:51physically required to play at the A good point for Bristol City. It
0:22:51 > 0:22:59was written in the stars the Billy Sharp to score against his former
0:22:59 > 0:23:09club? Yes, it has been a stop-start at Southampton but this was two big
0:23:09 > 0:23:12
0:23:12 > 0:23:16drop. Absolutely, he got a move that Sheffield United and it did
0:23:16 > 0:23:19not work out as you would imagine. These are two decent goals, he
0:23:19 > 0:23:23shows real strength there to get on the end of that, a good finish.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29for the race for automatic promotion it is two out of three
0:23:29 > 0:23:36now, this is the running. Who has the hardest, who has the easiest?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40You probably are looking at Reading having the hardest and Southampton,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43looking at that, no disrespect, have the easiest. Look at the away
0:23:43 > 0:23:47games Reading have to face. It is difficult to say what is difficult
0:23:47 > 0:23:51and what is not because you get surprises, you get teams that over
0:23:51 > 0:23:56perform. Some teams like to play with no pressure, some teams don't,
0:23:56 > 0:24:01so it will be interesting to see who takes it and he doesn't. We saw
0:24:01 > 0:24:05it last year, three teams broke away and we had Cardiff for the
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Championship, Huddersfield in League 1, Shrewsbury in League 2.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16They were the BakeAway teams. They missed out on automatic and none of
0:24:16 > 0:24:22them went up. It is not something, you don't want to be the odd man
0:24:22 > 0:24:26out when three go clear. As for the rest of the Championship, we start
0:24:26 > 0:24:31with two teams with top-six aspirations. Leicester City have
0:24:31 > 0:24:38the now or never stage for a play of push, Hull City went in two
0:24:38 > 0:24:46points away from six. It was a big game for the manager, facing the
0:24:46 > 0:24:49club he left in November. The Foxes made three changes. Hull City made
0:24:49 > 0:24:55two changes, Corry Evans and Cameron Stewart replaced Robert
0:24:55 > 0:25:05Koren and Robbie Brady. Commentary from Jonathan led out. -- Jonathan
0:25:05 > 0:25:45
0:25:45 > 0:25:52is 1-0 de Hull City. Fryatt, great comes and it didn't he take it well.
0:25:52 > 0:26:02Nothing looked on but suddenly the left foot was unleashed and he beat
0:26:02 > 0:26:08
0:26:08 > 0:26:14as if there was a deflection but what a shot. He did it against
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Chelsea and Cech last week and it looked over the keeper. It is two
0:26:18 > 0:26:28goals in a minute for Leicester and they have the lead. The goalkeeper
0:26:28 > 0:26:55
0:26:55 > 0:27:01off there for Hull City. They can't Danns. Two full-blooded challenges
0:27:01 > 0:27:09and Danns looked to be off the ground with both feet. McKenna got
0:27:09 > 0:27:19up but Nigel Miller has a decision to make it. It is a red card. The
0:27:19 > 0:27:27
0:27:27 > 0:27:37wonderful header, not picked up. A good corner, a good contact, the
0:27:37 > 0:28:01
0:28:01 > 0:28:05was nowhere. He seemed content to watch that. Let it fly, just didn't
0:28:05 > 0:28:10get the contact right again. think that both players going for
0:28:10 > 0:28:14the ball, in the fashion they did, I don't know, we will have to look
0:28:14 > 0:28:19at the footage on that one BIRT the most important thing today was that
0:28:19 > 0:28:22the players applied themselves in a way in which we gave ourselves a
0:28:22 > 0:28:27good chance to win the game so it was a good day for us. Playing
0:28:27 > 0:28:32against ten men is difficult, any manager or players will say that,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35when you have a one in front of you but it is up to us to be good

0:28:38 > 0:28:48have gone down to ten men but unfortunately we did not that -- we

0:29:01 > 0:29:07Millwall desperate to drown memories of their 7-3 drubbing City
0:29:07 > 0:29:17history books. Millwall yet to win at home in 2012. Of things have not
0:29:17 > 0:29:25
0:29:25 > 0:29:30gone to plan since Neil Warnock took over. They thought they had
0:29:30 > 0:29:40levelled against Leeds through Harry Kane, but the referee had
0:29:40 > 0:29:42
0:29:42 > 0:29:47already given a penalty. The goalkeeper produced a stunning save.
0:29:47 > 0:29:56James Henry's corner was met by a thumping header late on but the
0:29:56 > 0:30:01woodwork intervened. Millwall still without a home win in the league
0:30:01 > 0:30:06this year. By a lot of passion in our play and quality and to get
0:30:06 > 0:30:14nothing out of the game is a tough pill to swallow. But we have to
0:30:14 > 0:30:19move on and there is nothing we can do about what happened today.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25supporters were feeling the loss of captain, Sean Barker, who will be
0:30:25 > 0:30:30out for year through a knee injury. But they still Ballack so ditch
0:30:30 > 0:30:35challenge for play-off place. They needed a repeat of last season's 5-
0:30:35 > 0:30:410 scoreline and Nigel Clough's memoir off to a flier thanks to
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Steve Davis. Moments later, Robinson came within an inch of a
0:30:46 > 0:30:52doubling the advantage would be a spectacular effort. That was just a
0:30:52 > 0:30:56taster of what was to follow. Derby were looking for their 4th win in
0:30:56 > 0:31:05six league matches and that seemed likely before the half-hour.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Hendrik made it 2-0, his first goal since September. Dougie Freedman's
0:31:09 > 0:31:15men had not given up hopes of a play-off place themselves, but but
0:31:15 > 0:31:23fans feared the worst when his penalty was given. This time, and
0:31:23 > 0:31:28there was no denying rubbings -- Robinson. That was the 11th of the
0:31:28 > 0:31:33campaign for Robinson, and another five goal Hall looked to be on the
0:31:33 > 0:31:37cards. That was until Palace retrieve something from the match
0:31:37 > 0:31:4211 minutes from time it with the strangest goal of the day. The
0:31:42 > 0:31:51referee awarded a free kick for what he deemed back-pass handled by
0:31:52 > 0:31:56the goalkeeper. But then Martin stepped up. Among what look to be a
0:31:56 > 0:32:04victory for the home side look to be a scramble. Ambrose fired in
0:32:05 > 0:32:11this effort but it was not enough to deny Derby a victory. We looked
0:32:11 > 0:32:14comfortable with 15 minutes to go. We were very sloppy and we gave a
0:32:14 > 0:32:19goal a way and unfortunately they have got another one and it was
0:32:19 > 0:32:28tight at the end waiting for the final whistle. All credit to
0:32:28 > 0:32:35Crystal Palace who kept going. started well, but they were
0:32:35 > 0:32:40tremendous to keep on going. We look forward to the next game.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44teams separated in the table by goal difference, unbeaten in their
0:32:44 > 0:32:50last five and eyeing up a possible late push for the play-off places.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Watford were looking to beat Ipswich. The Tractor Boys are one
0:32:54 > 0:32:59of the inform teams in the Championship. And they continued
0:32:59 > 0:33:04their good form at Vicarage Road. Thomas taking advantage from some
0:33:04 > 0:33:09poor defending. Just when it seemed Ipswich might be heading for a win,
0:33:09 > 0:33:19the home side drew level with 20 minutes left. Sean Murray picking
0:33:19 > 0:33:20
0:33:20 > 0:33:23up the pieces to grab his 4th goal in five games. Ipswich barely
0:33:23 > 0:33:29threatened in the second half but have themselves to blame or even
0:33:29 > 0:33:39Carlos Edwards for gifting what that the winner. The Hornets now
0:33:39 > 0:33:44just six. Shy of the play-offs. was excellent second half. But a
0:33:44 > 0:33:48reminder to the lads at half-time, we spoke about the fact we have not
0:33:48 > 0:33:55played well in the first half, but we are reminded ourselves of what
0:33:55 > 0:34:03we do well. First half we created a host of opportunities. But we could
0:34:03 > 0:34:10have had more than one goal. Barnsley were in need of a pick-me-
0:34:10 > 0:34:16up when Peterborough came to town. Played four, lost four, and not
0:34:16 > 0:34:23very nice to put a smile on the fans' faces. Midway through the
0:34:23 > 0:34:30first half, David Cottrill opened his account for the 6th different
0:34:30 > 0:34:35club of his career. Eight minutes later and Barnsley make life
0:34:35 > 0:34:42tougher when Nathan Doyle tangled with Lee Tomlin. He was shown the
0:34:42 > 0:34:46first red card of his career. But despite being a man down, Barnsley
0:34:46 > 0:34:52did well to restrict the visitors to limited chances in the second
0:34:52 > 0:34:57half. That was the closest I Emil Sinclair. When they last played
0:34:57 > 0:35:01each other in December, partly got the better of a seven-goal thriller.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Not such excitement this time, but the result made up for that. I am
0:35:06 > 0:35:10pleased, not only would the results but the reflection of the
0:35:10 > 0:35:14performance. It is getting back to the way I want to play the game.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Sometimes when you go through the sequence we have been, you try all
0:35:18 > 0:35:24sorts to get a result, but go back to the way I want to play the game.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28With that we will get results. Disappointing day, unacceptable
0:35:28 > 0:35:34that performance. You drop your standards and that is what you get.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38We have been too inconsistent and I felt today was a good opportunity.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43When it goes to ten men it is an even better opportunity, but we
0:35:43 > 0:35:52could not break them down, we were inept and too slow. A disappointing
0:35:52 > 0:35:57performance. Coventry who have spent most of the season in the
0:35:57 > 0:36:05relegation zone entertained bottom Portsmouth he wanted to build on a
0:36:05 > 0:36:15surprise midweek win over Birmingham. Clive Platt may the
0:36:15 > 0:36:19
0:36:20 > 0:36:25goalkeeper produced a smart goal. Chris Maguire got his Portsmouth
0:36:25 > 0:36:32goal account up and running against Birmingham. He tried his luck here
0:36:32 > 0:36:38as Pompey enjoyed a good spell of possession. Then there is a missile
0:36:38 > 0:36:43tested the goalkeeper's agility. But it was a Maguire once again the
0:36:43 > 0:36:53main threat for Pompey as this free kick left the goalkeeper standing
0:36:53 > 0:36:53
0:36:53 > 0:36:59and the post shaking. The odds on these two meeting of in League 1
0:36:59 > 0:37:03learns and when a Manchester United player who is on loan scored his
0:37:03 > 0:37:10second goal in as many games. Pompey kept battling but it was not
0:37:10 > 0:37:14their day. Joe Murphy save this one. Coventry still in the bottom three
0:37:14 > 0:37:19but just a point from safety and with a five-point cushion over
0:37:19 > 0:37:25Portsmouth. It is a massive for us. We have made this place difficult
0:37:25 > 0:37:30for teams to come to. We have built up a bit of momentum over the last
0:37:30 > 0:37:38month. We have only lost one in eight here. Or we have won plenty
0:37:38 > 0:37:48and we are right in the mix. Four draws and a win for Coventry and
0:37:48 > 0:37:54they are getting momentum against the odds? Picking up points. They
0:37:54 > 0:37:59have a real chance. The Leeds, Saturday was about restoring pride?
0:37:59 > 0:38:04We should be used to this. Having a look back over the season, it is
0:38:05 > 0:38:13not the first time they were hammered. They got beat by
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Blackpool 5-0 and then won the next game. They are used to coming back.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23The art is to not let the bad run continues. Big don't do that. They
0:38:23 > 0:38:28do get things together quickly. They are one of the teams on the
0:38:28 > 0:38:33edge teasing their fans. Everyone thought they had blown it last week,
0:38:33 > 0:38:41this week now they are saying actually... A few teams are doing
0:38:41 > 0:38:49that. Just when you are on ruling them out of the play-offs, they
0:38:49 > 0:38:53come back with a performance like this. It must drive Nigel mad. Just
0:38:53 > 0:38:58thinking they had turned the corner and then get a bad one and mock
0:38:58 > 0:39:02themselves back. None of the players have got consistency, we
0:39:02 > 0:39:06know what they're capable of at Leicester. There is no reason they
0:39:06 > 0:39:11cannot put a run together at the end of the season. It is not
0:39:11 > 0:39:17mathematically possible, that is when the fans give up. Derby in the
0:39:17 > 0:39:25same boat. They haven't inexperience side, but they are
0:39:25 > 0:39:32looking up? 18 at times are flattered to deceive. Then they get
0:39:32 > 0:39:37some consistency. They might give themselves an outside chance. It is
0:39:38 > 0:39:41an outside chance at best, but they want to finish the season strong
0:39:41 > 0:39:47and give themselves some think to go into next year's in a positive
0:39:48 > 0:39:53sense. Their captain has 12 months on the sidelines. And Watford,
0:39:53 > 0:39:58might be 22 goals it worse off at this stage than last season, but
0:39:59 > 0:40:02their campaign is incredible. like Cardiff, they have to
0:40:02 > 0:40:08strengthen in other areas because they don't have the ammunition
0:40:08 > 0:40:14going forward. They have lost one of the top scorers at the last
0:40:14 > 0:40:18minute, and having to reform. They have had a great year so far.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23get to League 1 and that the three games, Charlton return to winning
0:40:24 > 0:40:33ways to maintain their nine-point lead at the top of the table. They
0:40:34 > 0:40:40
0:40:40 > 0:40:49went to West Yorkshire and played that as Phil's 40 three-match
0:40:49 > 0:40:54unbeaten record. The key to victory was keeping roads in check. But the
0:40:54 > 0:41:00Charlton keeper wouldn't be so lucky. Russell's trip on Roberts
0:41:00 > 0:41:03gave them a chance to enter the history books. His 35th goal of the
0:41:03 > 0:41:08campaign breaking a record previously held by Iwan Roberts.
0:41:08 > 0:41:18But he needs one more to break the all-time record. He almost got it
0:41:18 > 0:41:24here. As for Charlton, they remain in the front seat to take the title,
0:41:24 > 0:41:29but are struggling to get over the finish line. Their frustration
0:41:29 > 0:41:33summed up when Russell lashed out at Anthony Caig. Chris Powell's men
0:41:33 > 0:41:38at reduced to ten men. But ultimately they came up short in
0:41:38 > 0:41:42their bid to avoid their first away defeat in the year. The bounce of
0:41:42 > 0:41:47the ball getting the better of a Leon Cort as Huddersfield claimed a
0:41:47 > 0:41:51crucial win. I thought we were solid defensively. Probably worked
0:41:51 > 0:41:57their goalkeeper harder than they worked ours. It is about grinding
0:41:57 > 0:42:04results out. This week we have had two clean sheets and taken six
0:42:04 > 0:42:12points in two with difficult games and I am delighted with that.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17dose of deja-vu of Jonson, he got the only goal in the defeat to
0:42:17 > 0:42:27Orient in December and at the same here. Automatic promotion look be
0:42:27 > 0:42:35
0:42:35 > 0:42:45on Wednesday, but Dave Jones's side are in the top two. This was later
0:42:45 > 0:42:54
0:42:54 > 0:43:02Norrie and's 5th home defeat of 2012. -- Leyton Orient's. NK dams
0:43:02 > 0:43:09are pursuing their promotion efforts will stop Marvin McCoy's
0:43:09 > 0:43:13foul on Smith, but thanks to the goalkeeper's agility and bravery,
0:43:13 > 0:43:22they stayed of the scoresheet. Wickham went in search of their own
0:43:22 > 0:43:31opener. The prolific striker was disappointed with his finish. Even
0:43:31 > 0:43:35more so out of the break as Powell reminded him how it should be done.
0:43:35 > 0:43:42Before NK Dons could build on the advantage, Wycombe Wanderers were
0:43:42 > 0:43:46back on the attack. They found space inside the six-yard box. This
0:43:47 > 0:43:54instinctive flick it was just too high. Wycombe Wanderers are forced
0:43:54 > 0:44:04to waste -- wait for the precious equaliser. Bevan with a beauty.
0:44:04 > 0:44:09
0:44:09 > 0:44:15a testing sequence against three of their promotion rivals. A slick
0:44:15 > 0:44:20move early in the second half boosted their prospects. They were
0:44:20 > 0:44:25soon heading for a 5th successive draw which leaves them six points
0:44:25 > 0:44:31adrift of the play-off. Several used defenders left in his wake to
0:44:31 > 0:44:37finish superbly. Call trust the now have a lot to do. We have played
0:44:37 > 0:44:42for out of the top six teams, and are drawn with them all and there's
0:44:42 > 0:44:46not a lot of space between us and them but it's frustrating.
0:44:46 > 0:44:54Huddersfield did more today but Carlisle are a good side and we
0:44:54 > 0:44:58have stood up to them. A good game of football today. Frustration is
0:44:58 > 0:45:03the overriding emotion for Walsall and Stevenage at the moment. Andy
0:45:03 > 0:45:13Butler gave them the lead with only three minutes gone. A victory would
0:45:13 > 0:45:13
0:45:13 > 0:45:18have given them a saviours from the relegation zone. Michael Borthwick
0:45:18 > 0:45:23made it 3 draws for Stevenage. A third successive opportunity to
0:45:23 > 0:45:29climb into the top six. The destiny of these two sides remains very
0:45:29 > 0:45:34much undecided. It's a frustrating result because we want to get three
0:45:34 > 0:45:39points and the game turned out as we expected it to. We were hoping
0:45:39 > 0:45:44Alan midfielders would get on the ball and, if it was a real football
0:45:44 > 0:45:54game, we would be the winners. Stevenage are physical and they
0:45:54 > 0:45:58
0:45:58 > 0:46:04Scunthorpe, they are consistent. Five draws in a row. A few close
0:46:04 > 0:46:12shaves against Notts County. Alan Judd reported twice in the second
0:46:12 > 0:46:15half by the post and then by Samuel Slocombe. A win after a dip in form
0:46:15 > 0:46:22which brought two defeats on the trot but it simply wasn't going to
0:46:22 > 0:46:32be their day. Hughes also shaking the woodwork as it remained
0:46:32 > 0:46:38
0:46:38 > 0:46:42Hartlepool victories. Chris Taylor finished off a flowing move to
0:46:42 > 0:46:46settle the contest against Bournemouth, who were hoping to
0:46:46 > 0:46:54avoid a third successive defeat in a row. They thought they had turned
0:46:54 > 0:46:57a corner. Having lost the previous five, unbeaten in a two outings.
0:46:57 > 0:47:07Lee's a terrific goal line clearance sent the Oldham fans home
0:47:07 > 0:47:08
0:47:08 > 0:47:13happen. -- happy. Since Alexander's departure, Brentford failed to
0:47:13 > 0:47:21score in three matches. Against Rochdale, they broke that barren
0:47:21 > 0:47:27run it just after the half an hour mark. Having gone 12 games without
0:47:27 > 0:47:37finding the net, Donald son has been enduring a lean spell. He
0:47:37 > 0:47:38
0:47:38 > 0:47:43ended it in spectacular style. Only his second goal since October.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48Yeovil made most of the running when Hartlepool had Scott Flinders
0:47:48 > 0:47:53to thank for making sure they went to the breaks still level. The
0:47:53 > 0:47:58goalkeeper pulling up a string of fine saves. They have not scored in
0:47:58 > 0:48:08the last four outings but it was over 1 Sunderland's Brian Noble
0:48:08 > 0:48:17holiday home, their first defeat of 2012. Having failed to hit the net
0:48:17 > 0:48:23in three previous outings, Preston ended their goal drought. They came
0:48:23 > 0:48:33up with the goods. That strike midway through the second half
0:48:33 > 0:48:37
0:48:37 > 0:48:40appeared to have sentenced buried to a 6th successive defeat. -- Bury.
0:48:40 > 0:48:50Then they clattered the woodwork and they found themselves in just
0:48:50 > 0:48:54
0:48:54 > 0:49:01the right spot for a dramatic continues. Not even this could
0:49:01 > 0:49:06knock Rovers out of their stride. Moore's return has produced 14
0:49:06 > 0:49:14points out of 18. This superb opener was a measure of their
0:49:14 > 0:49:21growing confidence. When Moore took over, they were on 34 points. The
0:49:21 > 0:49:31two sides had headed in opposite directions since then. This goal
0:49:31 > 0:49:44
0:49:44 > 0:49:51confirmed five defeats in a row, Moore's terrific run continues. He
0:49:51 > 0:49:56has beaten them and you rate highly. -- he has beaten a manner you rate
0:49:56 > 0:50:06highly. Yes, they kept a clean sheet. It's really important at
0:50:06 > 0:50:08
0:50:08 > 0:50:13this stage of the season. They kept a clean sheet today. As for
0:50:13 > 0:50:18Shepherd Wednesday, it's all about taking your chances. -- Sheffield
0:50:18 > 0:50:23Wednesday. Especially when your nearest League rivals are not
0:50:23 > 0:50:28playing. Absolutely. We have seen this time and time again when one
0:50:28 > 0:50:37team plays before the other. If you get a good result, it releases
0:50:37 > 0:50:43pressure on the side. They are not resting on their laurels, are they?
0:50:43 > 0:50:48They are good, Sheffield Wednesday, aren't they? That's the advantage
0:50:48 > 0:50:58they have over other teams. Also, added pressure when you're a big
0:50:58 > 0:51:03
0:51:03 > 0:51:11club. Preston, two wins in 13. The manager said the pitch was wider.
0:51:11 > 0:51:16Does he have to adapt? I don't think... Scoring goals in their
0:51:16 > 0:51:20primary concern. Yes, he's a bit different to what they had before.
0:51:20 > 0:51:26I would imagine not too many of the players will have played the way he
0:51:26 > 0:51:31wants the team to play. Whether or not he has still got them late in
0:51:31 > 0:51:35the afternoon, long days, evening sessions, I don't know. Sometimes
0:51:35 > 0:51:39what works at one club sometimes doesn't work at another until you
0:51:39 > 0:51:46get the players you want and change the personnel around. It will take
0:51:46 > 0:51:52you about a year or 14 months at least. Graham had fans and he
0:51:52 > 0:51:56needed to get him onside quickly. It has not quite happened. No, but
0:51:56 > 0:52:02I don't see this as a short-term appointment. He's very very
0:52:02 > 0:52:09successful. All the sudden, you don't become a bad manager
0:52:09 > 0:52:11overnight. -- all of a sudden. You think he will after at some stage
0:52:11 > 0:52:16start turning things around but don't think it will be in the
0:52:16 > 0:52:19future. League Two now. Second- placed Torquay had their promotion
0:52:19 > 0:52:22push interrupted in midweek when they went down to the only team
0:52:22 > 0:52:24above them in Swindon. Well, with the leaders not in action on
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Saturday due to Johnstone's Paint Trophy commitments on Sunday,
0:52:28 > 0:52:38Torquay had the chance to make up ground on the Robins when they took
0:52:38 > 0:52:48
0:52:48 > 0:52:54next season but when this happened, his pre-match prediction appeared
0:52:54 > 0:52:59premature. Torquay were back in the group. Jarvis up than to win
0:52:59 > 0:53:08against the bar. Tomlinson keeping out Lee Mansell. In five minutes,
0:53:08 > 0:53:14they turn the game on its head. Joe Davis, already booked. As he headed
0:53:14 > 0:53:19for the showers, they got ready to increase the punishment. The big
0:53:19 > 0:53:26man keeping his cool to put the hosts on course for a vital victory.
0:53:26 > 0:53:36Clinched three minutes later. They gaps at the top now down to four
0:53:36 > 0:53:41
0:53:41 > 0:53:44Morecambe without a win in their previous five visits. This was the
0:53:44 > 0:53:49first hint of things might change and midway through the second half,
0:53:50 > 0:53:56James Collins was much more clinical. His 13th of the season
0:53:56 > 0:54:04sweetly struck. Now on course for their third win in four. John
0:54:04 > 0:54:10Taylor unwisely following up this obvious foul with an obvious head-
0:54:10 > 0:54:20butt in front of the referee. Shrewsbury still got what they came
0:54:20 > 0:54:24
0:54:24 > 0:54:28on the road, Southend will not have relished this trip. They served
0:54:28 > 0:54:31barely noticed but it was a difficult afternoon for the
0:54:31 > 0:54:37Shrimpers. There'd Eastwood could not repeat the hat-trick he scored
0:54:37 > 0:54:45in his first debut. -- F Freddy. This could be a day they one to
0:54:45 > 0:54:51forget. The central defender had to be substituted soon afterwards. He
0:54:51 > 0:54:55was taken to hospital after passing out on the bench. The reorganise
0:54:55 > 0:55:04Southend looked like hanging on until the final moments. This
0:55:04 > 0:55:10frantic double challenge saw the referee pointed to the spot. With
0:55:10 > 0:55:20four minutes to go, his 14th goal of the season made it seven home
0:55:20 > 0:55:31
0:55:31 > 0:55:37got off to a flyer. They felt they should have been three up by the
0:55:37 > 0:55:42break. Billy Clark had them on top in the second half. Despite their
0:55:42 > 0:55:47league, they had been far from convincing but after the restart,
0:55:47 > 0:55:51they struggled to cope with the onslaught. Taylor pushing this ball
0:55:51 > 0:55:56on before Jason Taylor mistimed his tackle to put Gary Alexander on the
0:55:56 > 0:56:02spot. The strike his 18th of the campaign and 4th in five matches
0:56:02 > 0:56:05since joining from Brentford had Crawley in control. Mills completed
0:56:05 > 0:56:11the scoring against his old club to Secure Crawley their third straight
0:56:11 > 0:56:21win. We went in at half-time and we have to rattle one or two people
0:56:21 > 0:56:21
0:56:21 > 0:56:25today. But they did well in the second half, didn't they? After
0:56:25 > 0:56:34four straight losses, three without scoring, Cheltenham had to perform
0:56:34 > 0:56:38against Oxford. Nothing is going for them in front of goal. These
0:56:38 > 0:56:44positions stayed the same. 6th and 7th. We have come off the back of
0:56:44 > 0:56:49four defeat. We should have won two or three of them. Sometimes you
0:56:49 > 0:56:56need a small step before you get big steps home. We are nearer where
0:56:56 > 0:57:00we wanted to be. Having slipped into the relegation zone, Hereford
0:57:00 > 0:57:06now prop up the rest. The finishing it is that of the side feeling the
0:57:06 > 0:57:13pressure. Lucas have loved his line at during the first half that have
0:57:13 > 0:57:18dominated. Pacy came on the second half but his luck was no better.
0:57:18 > 0:57:26Richard O'Kelly, still unable to celebrate points at home. The last
0:57:26 > 0:57:30time they won, Nik Powell was not born of. Crewe always looked likely.
0:57:30 > 0:57:35Murphy got it to keep them within reach of the play-offs. We did not
0:57:35 > 0:57:39play well, in fairness. They were better than us. Particularly in the
0:57:39 > 0:57:44first half. The only came good late in the game and it took us a while
0:57:44 > 0:57:51to settle into the game. It was a bad performance I was disappointed
0:57:52 > 0:57:56with but the result is very pleasing. The referee was at the
0:57:56 > 0:57:59centre of controversy as Gillingham were held at Bradford. They started
0:57:59 > 0:58:04brightly in Yorkshire when a Montrose headed them into a first-
0:58:04 > 0:58:14half lead. They were nicely on course for maximum points just
0:58:14 > 0:58:21
0:58:21 > 0:58:27Phil Parkinson's men. But they put the game back in the balance. This
0:58:27 > 0:58:33was on target and minutes after having a goal ruled out. James
0:58:33 > 0:58:38Hanson's at that was rightly talked of by the linesman. By the Law, he
0:58:38 > 0:58:43was interfering with play. After a lengthy discussion, the goal was
0:58:43 > 0:58:53allowed to stand. A slap in the face for Gillingham's promotion
0:58:53 > 0:59:05
0:59:05 > 0:59:10no effect on Albion. Adam all the's early shot suggested they might be
0:59:10 > 0:59:18able to spring a surprise at Wimbledon. It was a short-lived
0:59:19 > 0:59:27hope for the fans who watch that back line for Park. Just the start
0:59:27 > 0:59:34they wanted after back-to-back defeats. Albion stalled progress
0:59:34 > 0:59:38Booker do-nothing about the follow up. Burton were heading for their
0:59:38 > 0:59:438th straight defeats and by the end of it look like they had thrown in
0:59:43 > 0:59:51the towel. Wimbledon's lead was stretched to three. There was still
0:59:51 > 1:00:01a chance for it to become No. 4 because of laughable defending. 16
1:00:01 > 1:00:03
1:00:03 > 1:00:10games without a win. The biggest crowd of the season
1:00:10 > 1:00:18suddenly came to see the inform Northampton. But this was as close
1:00:18 > 1:00:27as they came to recording a 5th win out of six. Portsmouth will be
1:00:27 > 1:00:33happy. The Pilgrims wanted more, as the ball scrambled around the
1:00:33 > 1:00:39goalmouth. Brian Horton admits he has work to
1:00:39 > 1:00:48do as he attempts to save Macclesfield from the drop. Richard
1:00:48 > 1:00:51O'Donnell will be relieved to see that hit the woodwork.
1:00:51 > 1:00:59Macclesfield's winless run stands at 18 games in all competitions but
1:00:59 > 1:01:05it could have been worse. An amazing mess from Barnard let them
1:01:05 > 1:01:11off the hook as they collected a crucial point. Brian Horton picks
1:01:11 > 1:01:15up his first point in charge of Macclesfield on Friday. What a
1:01:15 > 1:01:25luxury to have gone a pick a 5th unchanged line-up at this stage of
1:01:25 > 1:01:26
1:01:26 > 1:01:30the season? And those five games they had been unbeaten,. When you
1:01:30 > 1:01:35think about the size of the squad, it is important to keep players fit.
1:01:35 > 1:01:41This is not the Premiership. At this time of the year, it is a
1:01:41 > 1:01:45welcome bonus to be able to name an unchanged side. At the trees break,
1:01:45 > 1:01:50we know the experience of the manager, Graham Turner. They have
1:01:50 > 1:01:57had to adjust their away form, they have lost nine on the road. --
1:01:57 > 1:02:07shoes brief. To keep it on track, the Business End is vital? It can
1:02:07 > 1:02:10
1:02:10 > 1:02:15be the difference between staying up or going down. If you are going
1:02:15 > 1:02:20to address its, address it now while there is still time. If they
1:02:20 > 1:02:25pick up a couple of more results away, they have just missed out
1:02:25 > 1:02:31last year, it could be this year. Burton where in the top seven on
1:02:31 > 1:02:39Boxing Day. They have not won in 16. It is an horrendous run of form.
1:02:39 > 1:02:46just keeps going. It is not a close game being beaten at a mid-table
1:02:46 > 1:02:51side, Wimbledon, although they have done brilliant, but there is no
1:02:51 > 1:02:56sign of a turnaround. No sign of stopping the rot. When a new
1:02:56 > 1:02:59manager comes in, he will ask for different things and asked you to
1:02:59 > 1:03:06perform a different way, but continue to get the same results.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09It is very worrying. They are lucky they did have a good start to this
1:03:09 > 1:03:17season. If you knock a few points off, they would be in serious
1:03:17 > 1:03:21trouble. One game left, involving Dagenham & Redbridge who took on
1:03:21 > 1:03:26Accrington Stanley. This is a club that likes to do things against the
1:03:26 > 1:03:29arms. arms.
1:03:29 > 1:03:33Having played at Hillsborough and St Mary's in League 1, it is easy
1:03:33 > 1:03:37to forget Dagenham & Redbridge have only been in existence for 20 years
1:03:37 > 1:03:43and did not make its to the Conference until the turn of the
1:03:43 > 1:03:47millennium. Now, with crucial games, they have a fight on their hands to
1:03:47 > 1:03:54arrest a fall almost a spectacular as they arise. Today they will be
1:03:54 > 1:03:59sharing it with us. You learn more about your players when you are 3-0
1:03:59 > 1:04:09down than when you are 3-0 up. You learn who has character, backbone
1:04:09 > 1:04:10
1:04:10 > 1:04:14and spirit. The club, 100% aware of who we are and what we do. We have
1:04:14 > 1:04:19had an unbelievably difficult year. We have had difficult years before,
1:04:19 > 1:04:29Gray years and disappointing years. But every year we play in the
1:04:29 > 1:04:31
1:04:31 > 1:04:35Football League is a plus for this club. The club is important to me
1:04:35 > 1:04:45so it hurts me more than another manager. But I have to deal with
1:04:45 > 1:04:46
1:04:46 > 1:04:56that. That is how it is. It is too personal for me, but it does hurt.
1:04:56 > 1:04:56
1:04:56 > 1:05:06All that does is make me work harder. Tell me you haven't got
1:05:06 > 1:05:08
1:05:08 > 1:05:15your numbers wrong? No, just looking at the subs. OK, Same team.
1:05:15 > 1:05:24Same attitude, same desire, same confidence and the same winning
1:05:24 > 1:05:32mentality we have had. Everyone, you know the responsibility. Terry,
1:05:32 > 1:05:42give me the subs. Dave Hogan, Scott... If you are not involved
1:05:42 > 1:05:43
1:05:43 > 1:05:49with that, you will be doing work after the game. Let's go! I have
1:05:49 > 1:05:59had great times at this football club. I was captain, but if in two
1:05:59 > 1:06:16
1:06:16 > 1:06:22You have a job to do, you do it to the best of your ability and we
1:06:22 > 1:06:27won't have any problems. The only thing important is the team. What
1:06:27 > 1:06:37is the job for the team? Not a lot is best for me, what is best with
1:06:37 > 1:07:15
1:07:15 > 1:07:20Linfield forcing mate panicking clearance. At goal right before
1:07:20 > 1:07:25half-time separated the sides before the final five minutes when
1:07:25 > 1:07:29his cross appeared to take a slight deflection. The equaliser was
1:07:29 > 1:07:38always going to make the end of the match interesting and the plot
1:07:38 > 1:07:45thickened in stoppage time as a teenager who was on loan for
1:07:45 > 1:07:55Everton was given a straight red foreign off camera incident. His
1:07:55 > 1:08:23
1:08:23 > 1:08:29term remaining team-mates were me the difference first half from
1:08:29 > 1:08:36the second half? Tempo, tempo. Almost from the first minute of the
1:08:36 > 1:08:41second half we had a tempo, a belief and a desire. I know we have
1:08:41 > 1:08:46some tired bodies and they haven't, but you have to push yourself. You
1:08:46 > 1:08:53have so much in there. It was a terrific second half performance.
1:08:53 > 1:08:58Look back at the chat at half-time. How disappointed were we? Every
1:08:58 > 1:09:04week we have to provide that. Everyone involved, if you think you
1:09:04 > 1:09:07are giving everything you have got, I am telling you you're not. We
1:09:08 > 1:09:16have fitness, discipline and organisation, but if you have got
1:09:16 > 1:09:21to do it. Terrific, everybody. So, in our 10 games season we have
1:09:21 > 1:09:27taken seven points. But we are not finished. We have got to go on
1:09:27 > 1:09:32again. Well done everyone. The runners run, and let's prepare for
1:09:32 > 1:09:36runners run, and let's prepare for the next one. Well done everyone.
1:09:36 > 1:09:40Thanks to everyone at Dagenham & Redbridge who allowed us to access
1:09:40 > 1:09:45all areas. But a psychological boost to come off the bottom of the
1:09:45 > 1:09:55table? It has been a desperate and tough season. But they are in the
1:09:55 > 1:10:02
1:10:02 > 1:10:07this club stays in the division, it is worth it. Rarely will you find a
1:10:07 > 1:10:13manager who eats, breeds and slips Football Club and that is what John
1:10:13 > 1:10:18does? Absolutely. He said to his players, if you are going to play
1:10:18 > 1:10:24for them, you have to be the player he once. He has been round the
1:10:24 > 1:10:28block, he knows what he thinks should be playing for the club, who
1:10:28 > 1:10:34should be playing for the club on what is required to play for the
1:10:34 > 1:10:42club. They are in good hands. I think they will stay up. Let's have
1:10:42 > 1:10:52a look at what the results on Saturday mean in terms of the tales.
1:10:52 > 1:10:52
1:10:52 > 1:12:14Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
