:00:32. > :00:37.Good evening. At the start of the season having two England managers
:00:37. > :00:42.in the Championship appeared to be quite a cook. Two months in births
:00:42. > :00:45.then Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren find themselves in the
:00:45. > :00:50.JobCentre, highlighting how even the most impressive CVs do not
:00:50. > :00:57.protect you from the pressures of the book Boli. Steve Claridge is
:00:57. > :01:01.with me tonight. Here is what else is coming up: Southampton's home
:01:01. > :01:06.form under Nigel Adkins has been outstanding. Today they met a
:01:06. > :01:12.Middlesbrough side who have won most of their away games. It is
:01:12. > :01:16.first against a third in the Championship. Their relegation was
:01:16. > :01:21.followed by a sum of upheaval at St Andrew's, but there is currently no
:01:21. > :01:26.stopping Birmingham's city who are looking for their 7th consecutive
:01:26. > :01:33.win in all competitions against out-of-sorts Brighton. And there is
:01:33. > :01:39.a nice North-West Derby for us to get our teeth into. They go head-
:01:39. > :01:43.to-head at Turf Moor. We start at the top of the Championship as
:01:43. > :01:47.leaders Southampton face arguably their sternest test of the season
:01:47. > :01:57.so far against third-placed Middlesbrough. Saints were looking
:01:57. > :01:57.
:01:58. > :02:04.for a club record 16th consecutive exciting team in the Championship
:02:04. > :02:08.this season than Southampton. Their games have been won with 16 goals
:02:08. > :02:13.scored, but Middlesbrough are only three points behind them and have
:02:13. > :02:23.the meanest defence in the division. It is back to normal for
:02:23. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:34.Southampton. Guly Do Prado will play up front in the striking role
:02:34. > :02:44.that he prefers. Barry Robson returns after a one-match ban and
:02:44. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:03.Matthew Bates is back after two from the full-back, but he has won
:03:03. > :03:13.a corner. He has been at Southampton since he was 12 years
:03:13. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:24.old. It was hit long and steep and that was a good strike, but it took
:03:24. > :03:34.a deflection. The central defender up from the back for the set-piece.
:03:34. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:22.the Brazilian with a really powerful header. And Southampton
:04:22. > :04:25.opened the scoring. It is goal No. 5 for the season from the big
:04:25. > :04:35.Brazilian who spent nine years playing football in Italy. It was a
:04:35. > :04:35.
:04:36. > :04:45.quality header. The cross from Daniel Butterfield was absolutely
:04:46. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:12.Southampton. There was somebody free at the back and that has got
:05:12. > :05:17.to be number two. It is Guly Do Prado again. That might be that for
:05:17. > :05:23.Middlesbrough. We are only halfway through the first half, and
:05:23. > :05:33.Southampton have cut them to pieces twice. Scoring was the easy part,
:05:33. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:38.but it was the build up a place. They queue very much. No team has
:05:38. > :05:48.scored more than two goals against Middlesbrough this season, but it
:05:48. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:07.of the post. It might have come off the back or the side of his head.
:06:07. > :06:12.Southampton are threatening to extend their lead before half-time.
:06:12. > :06:15.Maybe he is not happy with a two- goal lead, they want more. They
:06:15. > :06:22.have had more this season, Southampton, they have had some
:06:22. > :06:28.great results. He was in for his hat-trick, but it was denied by the
:06:28. > :06:38.woodwork. It looked easy to score. That was the simplest of the
:06:38. > :06:54.
:06:54. > :07:04.Dutchman is penalised. It looks as if Tony McMahon is going to strike
:07:04. > :07:23.
:07:23. > :07:28.pose, and it was optimistic from that range. Scott McDonald put it
:07:28. > :07:34.into the side-netting. That is the first time Middlesbrough have
:07:34. > :07:44.opened them up. He could not find the net with the goalkeeper rushing
:07:44. > :07:51.
:07:51. > :08:01.off his line. He waited too long and he lost possession. That was a
:08:01. > :08:06.wonderful strike. He is the son of the former Wimbledon player, one of
:08:06. > :08:15.the Crazy Gang. He could not have struck that any sweeter. It was
:08:15. > :08:20.destined for the top corner. Chapa allow has spotted that. Just
:08:20. > :08:30.running it into the Middlesbrough half. Can he do it all on his own?
:08:30. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:12.given them so long. It had to be. David Connolly had all the time and
:09:13. > :09:18.he had all the space. Nobody gets at him. Connolly is not going to
:09:18. > :09:22.miss from the penalty spot. Still a number fired up for the season for
:09:23. > :09:32.David Connolly and gone number three for Southampton. That, if
:09:33. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:45.there was any doubt, wraps up the victory. The Middlesbrough fans are
:09:45. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :09:56.making the early exit to start that long journey home. Space again.
:09:56. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:07.What a strike. That was by Lambert. He continues to impress. That was a
:10:07. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:13.great strike on the volley. So many plusses for Southampton, where do
:10:13. > :10:19.you want to start? We got three points, we kept a clean sheet and
:10:19. > :10:22.we scored three exceptionally good goals. The third goal came on the
:10:22. > :10:28.back of 25 passes as David Connolly put the ball in the back of the
:10:28. > :10:31.neck. They have won every game they play at home, they have got good
:10:31. > :10:37.technical players, good legs and very obvious physical threat up
:10:37. > :10:41.front. They utilise all of them. I'd give them credit for being
:10:41. > :10:45.effective and winning the match. The ambition is to get this
:10:45. > :10:49.fantastic club back to the Premier League. You have seen the buzz of
:10:49. > :10:53.the supporters and the support they make for the players. Sometimes
:10:53. > :11:02.when things are not going our way, the supporters get behind the
:11:02. > :11:07.players. They were not negative and The vital time. Nigel Adkins is
:11:08. > :11:15.smiling and quite rightly so. The gap was made to look a lot bigger.
:11:15. > :11:19.Southampton were excellent. Yes, 16 wins back at home and I doubt if
:11:20. > :11:23.they will have more comfortable games than that. You expected at
:11:23. > :11:29.some stage for Middlesbrough to come back into the game, but
:11:29. > :11:35.Southampton never allowed that to happen. Three good goals. They were
:11:35. > :11:38.helped set by Middlesbrough's defending, though. When you are put
:11:38. > :11:44.under that sort of constant pressure and movement off the ball
:11:44. > :11:50.and options, pays, you are going to be found out if you are not your
:11:50. > :11:57.best. They were not at their best. We saw that particularly in their
:11:57. > :12:03.last goal. This is just incredible. It is at the end of 24 passes.
:12:03. > :12:07.Matty Bates just sums up the whole afternoon. He gives up on it. It
:12:07. > :12:12.was all too easy for Southampton. Never at any stage did
:12:12. > :12:22.Middlesbrough look as if they could get back in. So many things to
:12:22. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:27.encourage it Nigel Adkins. The form of Richard was superb. I am
:12:27. > :12:31.surprised at the turnaround we have seen in him. I watched him last
:12:32. > :12:37.year and he looked like a shadow, but somehow he has come in right
:12:37. > :12:42.from the very often. He looks quick, strong, sharp, everything he was
:12:42. > :12:47.not last year. He has established himself in the side and he is
:12:48. > :12:51.equally effective on either side. He can play down the middle. What a
:12:51. > :12:59.versatile player. He looks a completely different person from
:12:59. > :13:03.the one who played last season. It is like signing a new player.
:13:03. > :13:11.the latest club on the lookout for a new manager, Leicester. They
:13:11. > :13:17.began with a trip to promotion rivals West Ham after life afters
:13:17. > :13:26.then Goran Eriksson. Come on, Leicester. Leicester embarked on
:13:26. > :13:32.their new era with a trip to second-placed West Ham. A win today
:13:32. > :13:42.would see them collect a 4th league win in seven and they were ahead 21

:14:04. > :14:09.Leicester were looking for their first win at West Ham in 11 years
:14:09. > :14:14.and shortly after the break came the counter-punch. Andy King sneak

:14:21. > :14:29.thanks to the old one, two, three. 1, Green launched it, too it was

:14:44. > :14:50.equaliser. Steve Howard went close. But he could not score. Leicester
:14:50. > :14:54.continue to stumble, without Sven, but West Ham's promotion bid
:14:54. > :15:00.gathers momentum. We have suffered in the past by conceding at the end,

:22:45. > :22:50.In some ways, that helps. I have come into a wonderful club, a

:24:24. > :24:29.Six wins? Seven, we can make it seven to do, so, hopefully,
:24:29. > :24:34.hopefully it will work. Days like today are the most important ones.
:24:34. > :24:39.We have a job to do. We are playing in a very difficult League. This
:24:39. > :24:43.will be a huge game for us. such a highly anticipated came it
:24:43. > :24:47.did not live up to pre-match expectations. Birmingham had the
:24:47. > :24:53.best of the exchanges with Marlon King but in this effort just wide

:25:45. > :25:48.to learn about this division, and the players had to gel together.
:25:48. > :25:54.What we have created is a good spirit amongst the players and some
:25:54. > :25:58.real competition. But we are up against an awful lot of games. We
:25:58. > :26:04.have not played a championship side this season and it has been an easy
:26:04. > :26:09.game. Not one. Chris Hughton, reflecting as Birmingham's winning
:26:09. > :26:18.run comes to an end. Considering all the uncertainty they have done

:26:39. > :26:45.has been denigrated by Premier League sides, they other foundation
:26:45. > :26:49.to build on. They have not conceded, they have drawn this game, and have
:26:49. > :26:59.only conceded one goal in six at home. That gives you an opportunity
:26:59. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:04.to win most of your home games with that sort of record. OK, next up a
:27:04. > :27:07.match between two sides who were hoping for better starts to the new
:27:07. > :27:10.season. Both Burnley and Blackpool have so far struggled for

:33:12. > :33:16.badly. They are too easily going in, two set pieces. And we have got to

:35:07. > :35:11.looks as though we have four more games and starts with the trip of

:35:16. > :35:26.Ipswich team who had Michael Chopra in the starting line-up despite his

:35:41. > :35:47.the thick of the action again a few minutes later. The goalkeeper made
:35:47. > :35:51.the save but in a role reversal, Darius Henderson converted. He is a
:35:51. > :35:56.man in form following his hat-trick last week. Simpson has previously
:35:56. > :36:04.had a spell on loan at Millwall while still an Arsenal player. He
:36:04. > :36:08.almost added to the tally after the break. Ipswich Town and saw a six-
:36:09. > :36:15.match unbeaten run come to an end last weekend against Crystal Palace.
:36:15. > :36:18.But they gave themselves some hope in the second half. But it was

:36:28. > :36:28.
:36:28. > :36:33.this occasion. He set up his goal. Two minutes later, Simpson decided
:36:33. > :36:41.he would do it all himself. The goalkeeper helpless as Millwall
:36:41. > :36:45.went 4-1 up. A long-range shot from Keith Andrews probably won't have
:36:45. > :36:49.made much difference to the outcome as Millwall ended up comfortable
:36:49. > :36:56.winners and finished a month with back-to-back wins.
:36:56. > :37:01.We needed it and we need some more. We just put a bit of a run together,

:37:10. > :37:14.That they were hoping to avoid a 4th defeat when they hosted

:37:19. > :37:26.worse start in a season bar 11 years who have not won away going
:37:26. > :37:32.into this game. But this strike put them ahead on the half-hour. It is
:37:32. > :37:36.not hard to see where Doncaster's problems lie. They had scored only
:37:36. > :37:41.three home goals all campaign. The Lee Sharpe was not in the squad,
:37:42. > :37:48.personal problems making him unavailable. But this leveller
:37:48. > :37:53.men's for hosts shared the spoils at least. It was important we did
:37:53. > :37:58.not lose the game today. Coventry are down there with us. We have had
:37:58. > :38:05.a few dodgy results. Disappointments that we did not get
:38:05. > :38:11.the three. But the main thing is we did not lose. Last week's 2-0 lost
:38:11. > :38:16.to Birmingham was not the dream start for the Bristol City boss. He
:38:16. > :38:22.is looking to revive his new side's fortunes with a trip to Barnsley.
:38:22. > :38:29.The early signs were good. The defence was left waiting for an
:38:29. > :38:34.offside flag that never came. This fixture has a history of producing
:38:34. > :38:41.goals and there were plenty of chances. Nicky Maynard ending up on
:38:41. > :38:45.that there were a goal at his mercy. And after the break the chances
:38:46. > :38:50.kept on coming. Nicky Maynard probably started thinking it was
:38:50. > :38:55.not going to be his day. But this was not just reserved for the
:38:55. > :39:02.visitors. Andy Gray, the next to fluff his lines with the goal
:39:02. > :39:06.gaping. Try as they might, Barnsley couldn't find an equaliser. Jacob
:39:06. > :39:09.Butterfield Nellie adding another spectacular strike to his
:39:09. > :39:14.impressive collections. As the final quarter approached, they were
:39:14. > :39:19.finally rewarded. Gray Davis have not scored since his summer move
:39:19. > :39:25.from Chesterfield. He chose the perfect moment to open his account.
:39:25. > :39:29.But incredibly it was Bristol City who nicked it in stoppage time.
:39:29. > :39:33.Nicky Maynard made up for his earlier misses. Bass second when of
:39:33. > :39:41.the seasons for Bristol City to move level with Doncaster Rovers at
:39:41. > :39:47.the foot of the table. The visit of Darren Ferguson's
:39:47. > :39:52.Peter Boro is the nearest thing of guaranteeing to scoring in the
:39:52. > :40:02.Premiership. Watford 1-2 at goals to their goals. The Hornets have
:40:02. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:10.yet to secure our point in October. It took less than five minutes to
:40:10. > :40:17.ensure. Peterborough might concede goals but they score at first Duke.
:40:17. > :40:24.They went into this game as the Championship's second top scorers.
:40:24. > :40:30.Moments later, there was almost another as the free kick beat the
:40:30. > :40:33.goalkeeper but not the post. But the visitors self-destructed again.
:40:34. > :40:43.McCann it make this challenge in the penalty area and the penalty
:40:44. > :40:47.
:40:47. > :40:51.was awarded. There was plenty more to come before the break. Just two
:40:51. > :41:01.minutes later and another foul, this time outside the area. Yates
:41:01. > :41:05.took the free kick and Watford were now 3-1 up. Paul Taylor's run at
:41:05. > :41:10.the Watford defence on the back foot. Sinclair was set up to give
:41:10. > :41:15.hope to the visitors. Five goals before the break. The second half
:41:15. > :41:24.was always going to struggle to live up to the first. And so it
:41:24. > :41:27.proved. There were no more goals, so Watford held on for a much-
:41:27. > :41:32.needed win. We knew they would give us a tough
:41:32. > :41:40.game. It is a big win, but we believe in what we do and it was
:41:40. > :41:45.obvious today, how committed the Derek McInnes is up and running
:41:45. > :41:54.with Bristol City. It goes to show how valuable Nicky Maynard is to
:41:54. > :41:58.them. They had a goal drought and they struggled. Nicky Maynard, was
:41:58. > :42:04.top scorer a couple of years ago. He has had terrible injuries over
:42:04. > :42:09.the last couple of years. That is a much-needed win as well to be fair.
:42:09. > :42:14.But they haven't, with Watford winning, seven points from safety
:42:14. > :42:22.service keeps them in touch. cracking game as far as Watford
:42:22. > :42:28.were concerned. All five goals coming in 39 minutes. They lost the
:42:28. > :42:33.likes of John Eustace and Luis Doyle. It is credit to the players
:42:33. > :42:38.who did feature? You have to keep believing in what you're doing and
:42:38. > :42:42.keep persevering. As long as it is the right way to do things. When
:42:42. > :42:47.you play Peterborough, what you know his you will get chances. If
:42:47. > :42:55.you get their chances you have to put them away. But he will also be
:42:55. > :43:05.put under pressure. We were talking about Millwall struggling to score
:43:05. > :43:08.
:43:08. > :43:13.goals not so long ago. Already, they are up to 17. Three goals in
:43:13. > :43:20.nine before these last two games. Things have changed quickly at
:43:20. > :43:30.Millwall. It is the belief isn't it? The leaders of League 1,
:43:30. > :43:41.
:43:41. > :43:46.Charlton wanted to extend their success at Wycombe Wanderers in the
:43:46. > :43:50.week, he took just nine minutes to get off the mark at Hartlepool. His
:43:50. > :43:56.4th goal in three matches raising his tally to 11, not the start that
:43:56. > :44:00.Mick Wadsworth was hoping for. Eight minutes before the break,
:44:00. > :44:06.Rhoys Wiggins provided another cross that Bradley Wright-Phillips
:44:06. > :44:10.put away, with ease. The Charlton boss returned to the scene of the
:44:10. > :44:17.first taste of defeat as manager. This latest trip got even better,
:44:17. > :44:20.as Danny Hollins stretch the lead. The success was a complete six
:44:20. > :44:25.minutes from the end, scored twice that playing a neat one-two with
:44:25. > :44:31.Paul Hayes, that leaves Charlton looking down on everyone else,
:44:31. > :44:34.having sealed the victory. Believe the reports and Lee Clark has
:44:34. > :44:39.Michael future is up in the air. The man that Leicester City are set
:44:40. > :44:44.to see as Sven's replacement. Dominic Blizzard cross to rattle
:44:44. > :44:47.the good work for the home side. We Clarke stressed that his mind was
:44:47. > :44:52.still very much on the jaw and he had heard nothing from the East
:44:52. > :44:56.Midlands. Huddersfield a played better than an unbeaten league when
:44:56. > :45:01.it stages to 41 matches. They clinched victory with just 10
:45:01. > :45:07.minutes left, to Anton Robinson. Yeovil were spirited to the finish,
:45:07. > :45:17.but the Terriers got off to a positive start with the crossbar,
:45:17. > :45:17.
:45:17. > :45:22.thwarting all Lee Johnson. This was second from bottom again start from
:45:22. > :45:26.top. It appeared to be going with form. After 23 minutes, the away
:45:26. > :45:31.side took the lead. Ryan Lowe came close, but the Portuguese
:45:31. > :45:36.midfielder was on hand to fire home his first of the season. Then a
:45:36. > :45:46.little bit of history was made six minutes later. At 15 years and 325
:45:46. > :45:50.
:45:50. > :45:53.years old, Jordan Ibe became the youngest scorer for Wycombe in the
:45:53. > :45:58.Premier League. He earned a yellow card for a celebration of his
:45:58. > :46:02.family. The joy for the old Byers was short-lived, as Ryan Lowe put
:46:02. > :46:08.Sheffield Wednesday back in front, heading home his first goal for
:46:08. > :46:13.Wales. Wycombe's ripped into the match came trickier when Gareth
:46:13. > :46:17.Ainsworth picked up a second yellow. He has played more than 100
:46:17. > :46:24.professional matches by the time his team-mate had even been born.
:46:24. > :46:29.This tackle meant that he saw red. Having climbed out of the bottom
:46:29. > :46:32.four with back-to-back wins, Exeter arrived in this still city full of
:46:32. > :46:38.confidence. Their revival be owed much to the form of Daniel
:46:38. > :46:43.Nardiello. He gave them an early lead. Sheffield United were and
:46:43. > :46:47.even more trouble later. The decision to leave David Noble and
:46:47. > :46:51.challenged back by a, but time. Exeter was back on course for a
:46:51. > :46:56.memorable away a, but that leads reminded them not to get too
:46:56. > :46:59.carried away by the surprising star. Marcus Williams to love in the
:46:59. > :47:06.cross for Matt Phillips who volleyed in has fought in as many
:47:06. > :47:12.games. Eventually, Exeter were pinned back, with Billy Clarke
:47:12. > :47:20.getting the better of the Exeter keeper. 2-2, and plenty of drama to
:47:20. > :47:27.come. United completed the turnaround. Matthew Lorton
:47:27. > :47:31.dispatching the goal. Exeter refused to go on there. They
:47:31. > :47:35.equalised through George Long, sparking off asked frantic finish.
:47:35. > :47:40.Five minutes from the end, Danny Wilson's men appear to have

:48:11. > :48:15.free kicks set the tone for a lively second half. That goal, just

:48:31. > :48:39.only to be undone by a frantic eight-minute spell with the goal
:48:39. > :48:41.from Michel Antonio, on target at the second attempt. Unable to deal
:48:42. > :48:47.with that goal kick and guilty of allowing Ian Henderson too much
:48:47. > :48:57.space. That fabulous finish was matched by the neat pass which
:48:57. > :49:03.
:49:03. > :49:08.helped kill off the contest. Henderson releasing Odejaye to make
:49:08. > :49:13.it 4-1. With a bit more luck, Lee Hughes might have rekindled the
:49:13. > :49:18.challenge of the visitors. They pulled one back right at the death,
:49:18. > :49:22.with a camera catching up just as Cech used can't this past his own
:49:22. > :49:28.keeper. It was grim viewing for the defender but he will like the look
:49:28. > :49:36.of the scoreline. Tranmere Rovers were looking for their 4th victory
:49:36. > :49:41.in a row, started brightly against Scunthorpe when Sams will come in
:49:41. > :49:46.Cole made a bad mistake. His blushes were spared on the 20

:50:09. > :50:14.half-time, when Scunthorpe drew level for the second time. That
:50:14. > :50:17.fine finish from Grand met that it was all square at the break. Then
:50:17. > :50:27.the long-sighted the League for the first time in the match. The long
:50:27. > :50:27.
:50:28. > :50:31.ball forward was pounced on by Chris Dagnall. With just two wins

:51:20. > :51:26.lost his bearings and then tried to argue that he handled inside the
:51:26. > :51:30.area. Despite pleading his innocence, the goalkeeper saw red.
:51:30. > :51:34.From the resulting free kick, been linked in will come into his new
:51:34. > :51:38.role by smashing the travellers are in front. That put Karl Robinson's
:51:38. > :51:42.men on track for the first win in five matches, which was rubber-
:51:42. > :51:49.stamped on the stroke of half-time. Stephen Leeson set about doubling
:51:49. > :51:55.the advantage. The stand in keeper did well to deny Luke Chadwick. But
:51:55. > :51:59.he could not stop them increasing the lead. The ball so boss was sent

:52:11. > :52:15.almost all his side get back in it. midway through the first half, as
:52:15. > :52:20.Oldham edged in front. Lee Miller seemed to get the ball, but there
:52:20. > :52:25.was enough contact for Simpson to go to ground. Shefki Kuqi did the
:52:25. > :52:35.honours from the spot. Paul Dickov's side doubled the advantage
:52:35. > :52:38.
:52:38. > :52:41.soon after. Understandably, at two up, Oldham appeared to be enjoying
:52:41. > :52:46.themselves, with confidence coursing through the team. A

:53:58. > :54:06.Scoring his 4th goal and three matches. The lead only lasted for
:54:06. > :54:12.four minutes of the second half. 10 minutes later, the tournament was
:54:12. > :54:14.complete. Their severance was the key as Scott Malone, on loan from
:54:14. > :54:19.Wolves, Scotus first goal for Bournemouth at the second time of
:54:19. > :54:24.asking. With just over 20 minutes remaining, the match was all over,
:54:25. > :54:31.and, Phil Brown, if you're watching, you might want to look away. Clarke
:54:31. > :54:37.Carlisle misjudged the ball completely. And Pugh did not need a
:54:37. > :54:41.second in white. The Cherries move out of the drop zone. Sam Saunders
:54:41. > :54:45.was the inspiration behind Brentford's latest success. A peach
:54:45. > :54:49.of a free kick, just the tonic for a team that have not won in the
:54:49. > :54:55.last five matches. It has been a while since Chesterfield sample
:54:55. > :54:58.that winning feeling, but Leon Clarke restored parity soon after.
:54:58. > :55:04.There was chaos and the ball, and Clarke help himself to his eight
:55:04. > :55:07.goal of the season. Chesterfield hope that could be the catalyst for
:55:07. > :55:12.the first victory in a month, but eight minutes from time, Dale
:55:12. > :55:20.Bennett crashed in the winner for Brentford, to condemn Chesterfield
:55:20. > :55:25.to their 6th defeat in seven matches. Stevenage are building up
:55:25. > :55:29.a head of steam, unbeaten in four games, and boasting back-to-back
:55:29. > :55:36.wins for the first in the season. By then Harrison's wet and the
:55:36. > :55:41.opener. Every time the shakers have trailed at half-time they have lost
:55:41. > :55:45.and it became clear that that friend was not going to change when
:55:45. > :55:50.they slipped further behind with its 15 minutes to go. Mark Roberts
:55:50. > :55:55.played onside by one par the defender. Stevenage in control.
:55:55. > :56:00.Just three minutes later, Stevenage fell victim to a long ball that
:56:00. > :56:05.seemed unlikely to do much damaged. Andy Bishop maintained a scoring
:56:06. > :56:15.streak with his 4th goal in five matches. But Bury left themselves
:56:16. > :56:16.
:56:16. > :56:21.too much to do. Rochdale for themselves behind early on to
:56:21. > :56:24.Leyton Orient. Jimmy Smith with the finish. It was an advantage that
:56:24. > :56:32.was doubled midway through the second half. Good work down the
:56:32. > :56:40.left allowed George Porter to find Jamie Cureton who teed up David
:56:40. > :56:43.Mooney. It was an afternoon to forget. A brilliant save by Lee
:56:43. > :56:49.Butcher, but the defeat means Roy still drop back into the bottom
:56:49. > :56:54.four. Leyton Orient are finding some Brazilians, reminiscent of
:56:54. > :56:58.last season's unbeaten one of 14. Charlton Athletic stay top of the
:56:58. > :57:06.pack. What a return for Bradley Wright-Phillips with 12 goals in 15
:57:06. > :57:11.games. With the forwards they have got, the support, the supply and
:57:11. > :57:21.the service they are getting is all from the team very much in form.
:57:21. > :57:22.
:57:22. > :57:29.He's benefiting from map at the moment. -- from that. Jordan Ibe
:57:29. > :57:34.scores, aged 15, Celebrates with his family and is yellow-carded by
:57:34. > :57:42.the referee. Should he not get a little bit of leeway? We talk about
:57:42. > :57:49.consistency. So there is no room Bossington and? Absolutely not.
:57:49. > :57:55.That is great, lovely to see moments like that. Dean Smith is
:57:55. > :57:58.under pressure at Walsall against Carol Robinson's MK Dons. The
:57:58. > :58:04.goalkeeper gets sent off but there was no deputy goalkeeper on the
:58:04. > :58:09.bench for Walsall, because Dean Smith does not go for a goalkeeper
:58:09. > :58:14.at home, what do you think about that? It is a huge gamble. And it
:58:14. > :58:22.backfired. If you had asked me before the game it to be different,
:58:22. > :58:26.to after. But five substitutions does allow you some latitude. But
:58:26. > :58:31.those are the sorts of things that can happen. You just do not need to
:58:31. > :58:37.get yourself in that situation. If you pick 11 players, that starting
:58:37. > :58:43.team should be lucky. Then, you should only have to add to that as
:58:43. > :58:45.and when you need to. I cannot see the need for five out full players.
:58:45. > :58:51.Huddersfield needed to get something against your will and
:58:51. > :58:58.came away with a 1-0 victory. Unbeaten one going to 41 games now.
:58:58. > :59:02.Staggering. The fans are desperate for Lee Clark to stay, and not to
:59:02. > :59:07.go to Leicester. And they are not far away from that record. They
:59:07. > :59:13.will not come any closer, after seven weeks, to lose in that record,
:59:13. > :59:17.missing two penalties, but they have done a me Gravesen job. He
:59:17. > :59:27.knows it is important to finish in the top two in this division but if
:59:27. > :59:29.
:59:29. > :59:31.they keep going the way they are, League Two next and we start at
:59:31. > :59:33.Cheltenham, where visitors Plymouth were celebrating exiting
:59:33. > :59:42.administration on Friday, after businessman James Brent's takeover
:59:42. > :59:52.was approved. On Saturday, could they begin their rescue mission at
:59:52. > :00:02.
:00:02. > :00:08.Argyll got some look at Cheltenham. Good news off the field seemed to
:00:08. > :00:13.be rubbing off. Only at terrific stop prevented them doubling the
:00:13. > :00:16.advantage. The feel-good factor lasted up until the 83rd minute.
:00:16. > :00:22.But in a cruel twist they were denied what would have been a
:00:22. > :00:27.priceless victory. Charlton were given a lifeline. Nelson escaped
:00:27. > :00:32.with a booking and Duffy stepped up to increase the punishment. A blow
:00:33. > :00:39.for Coll Fletcher's men whose displayed deserve more. The task of
:00:39. > :00:46.hanging on four. It was made harder by Jamie Griffiths's lunch. He was
:00:46. > :00:56.dismissed and then defeat delivered the sucker-punch to pinch the
:00:56. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:08.ended on a disappointing note as they lost the leadership.
:01:08. > :01:18.Accrington have a half-time lead for the first time all season which
:01:18. > :01:19.
:01:19. > :01:29.they held until 12 minutes to the end. This fine strike set up the
:01:29. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:45.strike. They have not tried to play and the referee could have had a 26
:01:45. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:55.but five minutes before half-time it was the visitors who took the
:01:55. > :02:03.lead. Ryan Hall fired home his 6th goal of the season. With less than
:02:03. > :02:11.half-an-hour remaining, Ferdinand was on hand to insure their 9th win
:02:12. > :02:19.in 10 matches. Wimbledon managed to avoid setting a new club record of
:02:19. > :02:23.four straight defeats after holding Shrewsbury to a goalless draw. The
:02:23. > :02:27.pass of the Don has missed the game because of family matters.
:02:27. > :02:33.Shrewsbury might have won it but that flying save made sure it
:02:33. > :02:38.finished all-square. Bash macro the boss of the Dons.
:02:38. > :02:42.Morecambe move into the top three at the end of a bad few days for
:02:42. > :02:49.Gillingham who lost two Swindon on Tuesday. Hunter got the hosts off
:02:49. > :02:54.to a spectacular start. Morecambe make themselves more comfortable.
:02:54. > :03:00.Kevin Ellis and demanded the cut back and put it to great use. His
:03:00. > :03:09.8th of the season meant that there would be no way back for their
:03:09. > :03:19.opponents. The keeper was allowed to stay between the posts but
:03:19. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:33.unable to do anything to stop this known for his goalscoring exploits,
:03:33. > :03:40.but he finished with aplomb, ensuring the home side were off to
:03:40. > :03:44.a flyer. The visitors level things up, Adam Yates cross to Mark
:03:44. > :03:54.Richards who scored his 7th goal in eight matches. Parity did not last
:03:54. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:03.long. That strike was worthy of winning any match but with less
:04:03. > :04:10.than 10 minutes, the visitors were presented with a chance to equalise.
:04:10. > :04:20.Michael Duke re's foul on Richards gave him a chance for his second
:04:20. > :04:23.goal in the afternoon. The goalkeeper was up to it. -- Michael
:04:23. > :04:26.dewberry's for the best part of an hour, Bradford were holding their
:04:26. > :04:31.own against a Swindon side on a winning streak.
:04:31. > :04:36.When Andrew Davies went through the back of another player, the omens
:04:36. > :04:39.do not look good. The referee was not messing around and Davies
:04:39. > :04:47.continued to plead his innocence. He may regret not leaving this deal
:04:48. > :04:57.sooner. West Ham Lownie going close in what proved to be a frustrating
:04:58. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:03.afternoon. It took just seven minutes for
:05:03. > :05:07.Burton Albion to put more pressure on to struggling Barnard. This
:05:07. > :05:17.first time strike a them anticipating a prosperous afternoon.
:05:17. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:23.A feeling that crucial the after the half-hour. Lawrie Sanchez says
:05:23. > :05:33.he cannot find a central defensive pairing that works. But they did
:05:33. > :05:33.
:05:34. > :05:43.have some hope at the other end. In the second half, the outlook seemed
:05:44. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:50.brighter. Ritchie Jones found the corner. -- Ricky Holmes. Barnet
:05:50. > :05:59.would wish they could have called hindsight on the match. The
:05:59. > :06:04.goalkeeper and defender got their wires crossed. With 17 minutes left,
:06:04. > :06:09.the danger man was replaced, but it on us thought that would make life
:06:09. > :06:13.easier, they were mistaken. The substitute got off the mark
:06:13. > :06:17.immediately. It was his first goal in the senior ranks and with the
:06:17. > :06:25.home defence all at sea, another teenager sees the chance to break
:06:25. > :06:29.his duck. Jack dire taking the chance to take the score to 5-2.
:06:29. > :06:37.Albion boss was not best pleased with his team's defending. They
:06:37. > :06:40.will get another goal slip themselves in the closing minutes.
:06:40. > :06:49.But that effort was nothing compared to the absence of any
:06:49. > :06:59.opposition from the home side in stoppage time. Albion wrapped up a
:06:59. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:12.resounding victory, their second in to head. Both teams appeared
:07:12. > :07:17.determined to outdo each other on the generosity front. First Sam
:07:17. > :07:23.Walcott gifted the visitors possession and Gareth Evans scored
:07:23. > :07:29.his 6th of the season after two minutes. Not to be out on, the
:07:29. > :07:34.visitors out done a favour. This cross was too hard to handle for
:07:34. > :07:38.Logan who parried into his own net. Despite his efforts, the ball had
:07:39. > :07:45.crossed the line. They could have taken the lead in the second half.
:07:45. > :07:51.But Logan made amends with a find macro fingertip save. He could not
:07:51. > :07:56.still there., but they run of four can tell -- consecutive defeat
:07:56. > :08:06.comes to end. Fresh from rubbing shoulders with
:08:06. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds
:08:00. > :08:06.Manchester United in a week, Aldershot set about improving their
:08:06. > :08:10.league form. Danny Helton continued his scoring streak against Crewe.
:08:10. > :08:20.Just the lift they needed after suffering defeat in four of their
:08:20. > :08:26.
:08:26. > :08:36.previous five matches. Bash macro Corradi's men. Three minutes after
:08:36. > :08:38.
:08:38. > :08:43.the break, the lead was restored. Cru's robes of registering a third
:08:43. > :08:52.straight away success disappear just past the hour. Danny Helton
:08:52. > :08:57.racked up the match, taking his overall tally to 12. -- Danny
:08:57. > :09:01.Hilton. Hereford's rise away from danger
:09:01. > :09:08.stall. David Cornell was judged to have carried the free kick over the
:09:08. > :09:13.line. It did not mean it was cut and dried, Hereford had won three
:09:13. > :09:22.on the trot. But they let the home side with a healthy half-time
:09:22. > :09:26.advantage. How all was singled out for praise by his manager for his
:09:26. > :09:34.build-up play. But the man who replaced him at the end almost made
:09:34. > :09:37.it more comprehensive. Back-to-back victories after 80 without a win.
:09:37. > :09:40.-- 8. Dagenham & Redbridge were bottom of
:09:40. > :09:46.the form table coming into this match and they fell behind five
:09:46. > :09:50.minutes into the second half. It was not a pity his goal, but it put
:09:50. > :09:55.the side on course for only their second victory in six matches.
:09:55. > :10:05.Rovers could have sealed the points with a little over half an hour
:10:05. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:13.remaining. There's header was inches away. In the 90th minute,
:10:13. > :10:23.the referee pointed to the spot. Five league defeats in a row for
:10:23. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:29.A much-needed win for Bristol Rovers. We saw a cruel defeat for
:10:29. > :10:30.Plymouth Argyle. Bought what we Plymouth Argyle. Bought what we
:10:30. > :10:38.have seen happen off the pitch in the last 20 bar hours, hugely vital
:10:38. > :10:43.for the future of the football club? Bash macro 24 hours. Bought
:10:43. > :10:49.by the man who has been at the forefront of the takeover right
:10:49. > :10:55.from the very start. I think he has made a good acquisition. We talk
:10:55. > :11:00.about sleeping giants but you just Eardley, if he can get the club
:11:00. > :11:05.going it can go on and on to the next level. It is a Championship
:11:05. > :11:09.Club in waiting. It needs the right faster it's in place. They have one
:11:09. > :11:15.of those covered, now they need a manager and survival. They went
:11:15. > :11:22.goal crazy at Underhill, what a terrific hat-trick this was? I was
:11:22. > :11:26.not sure about Billy. Last year he was a peripheral figure at Torquay.
:11:26. > :11:33.He did not step up to the plate like I imagined he would do. A
:11:33. > :11:39.change of scenery has done in the world of good. He looks a potent
:11:39. > :11:49.force. These are great finishes. Almost too good for the situations
:11:49. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:58.he gets himself in. Fantastic. Match Of the Day in the division
:11:58. > :12:04.was Oxford against Port Vale. How do you go about describing what
:12:04. > :12:11.Peter Levin has done here? It is nothing short of sensational.
:12:11. > :12:14.David Beckham isn't it, it is fantastic. That is fantastic. The
:12:14. > :12:21.keeper is under a million miles off his line but he is never getting
:12:21. > :12:28.there. Oxford continue rising quietly. They have done brilliantly
:12:28. > :12:38.under Chris Wilder. I like Chris as a manager. They have a chance.
