:01:01. > :01:08.All that mattered today were league points. Steve Claridge run-making a

:01:12. > :01:18.manager, unbeaten in three matches, all ready stamping his mark on the
:01:18. > :01:21.side. This week they were at home to Charlton. It has been another
:01:21. > :01:27.indifferent start of the season for Leicester City. They were blown
:01:27. > :01:35.away by Burton midweek. They had a point to prove that the visit of
:01:35. > :01:38.league leaders Blackpool. Yeovil Town I usually one of the
:01:38. > :01:44.perennial favourites for relegation, but with Gary Johnson firmly back
:01:44. > :01:52.at the helm, they have been the pace-setters. What is the secret?
:01:52. > :01:55.Gary? First, to the City Ground. It looks as if the sum has breathed
:01:55. > :02:01.new life into Nottingham Forest. The new manager O'Driscoll is

:03:52. > :03:58.opportunity brilliantly. Forrest, Forest attack again. McGugan! All
:03:58. > :04:04.the way through! It wouldn't be Lewis McGugan if a goal wasn't
:04:04. > :04:10.special. In the sort of form he is in, he may have been going for gold
:04:10. > :04:20.there. The goalkeeper will not be happy with his role in it. It is

:05:31. > :05:35.Camp has had to make, and he almost made a mess of it. The first time I

:06:46. > :06:53.Blackstock was strong. Just look at the run forward into the penalty
:06:53. > :06:58.area. He was not tracked. What a tidy finish that was. The man on
:06:58. > :07:08.loan from Chelsea ensures he has become a real favourite here at the

:07:14. > :07:19.City Ground. We have at Nottingham Sharpe arrived late last night, on

:07:36. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :08:04.I am not too sure if Lee Camp had that covered. Blackstock has had an
:08:04. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:25.line! Charlton are back in the game. And there is the impact from
:08:25. > :08:29.
:08:29. > :08:39.Fuller is not picked up, and that is an own goal in the end. I think
:08:39. > :09:10.
:09:11. > :09:14.the final touch was off the post If you get a goal up in this
:09:14. > :09:19.division, you give yourself a massive chance. The first goal is
:09:19. > :09:25.always important. Once we got it, we gained confidence. We played
:09:25. > :09:30.really well. You feel you should have had a penalty? Pass a bit, but
:09:30. > :09:35.over the course of the game, we were beaten by a better team. I'm
:09:35. > :09:40.standing here before you, and regardless of getting a penalty or
:09:40. > :09:45.whatever, over the 90 minutes, they were the better team. The crowd are
:09:45. > :09:49.appreciating the passing football you are trying to play? We tried to
:09:49. > :09:54.play it and we lose, it will be a different scenario! But we are
:09:54. > :10:00.trying to give people options on the ball. Then you try and courage
:10:00. > :10:03.good decisions. We made some good decisions today. Just a pity they
:10:03. > :10:06.gave us a nervous five minutes at the end, but I would have settled
:10:06. > :10:09.for that performance before the game.
:10:09. > :10:15.It was a very good performance from Nottingham Forest. A bit nervy at
:10:15. > :10:19.the end, but considering all that has gone on in the summer, new
:10:19. > :10:23.owner, a new manager, said the new signings in the starting 11, all
:10:23. > :10:30.ready there is a real fluency about them. There is no reason players
:10:30. > :10:35.cannot settle in. Charlton be did in many new players very quickly.
:10:35. > :10:40.If you bring players in and you ask them what they are used to dealing,
:10:40. > :10:47.not things they are not comfortable with, you change systems that don't
:10:47. > :10:51.suit them, but if you bring them in and buy a right-back at right back,
:10:51. > :10:54.no reason why they will not settle in quickly. If you want them to
:10:54. > :11:00.play a certain way, which Sean O'Driscoll has been able to get
:11:00. > :11:07.across quickly, we saw that with one of the goals to. The move from
:11:07. > :11:12.the right back was fantastic. goes past the centre forward, he
:11:12. > :11:16.carries on his run, very much that sort of push and run place. A great
:11:16. > :11:21.touch, it is a good finish. They look comfortable for 80 minutes,
:11:21. > :11:29.then all of a sudden, not a lot they could have done about that, a
:11:29. > :11:34.little bit unlucky. What about the penalty shout? A know, that is not
:11:34. > :11:42.a penalty. The player brings his arms into his chest. You cannot
:11:42. > :11:52.give a penalty for that. I don't think it even hit his arm. So it
:11:52. > :11:56.would have been in just, but did that way. -- and Just. Sean
:11:56. > :12:03.addressed will -- O'Driscoll has got his beat under the table.
:12:03. > :12:08.had some months last season, he saw what was needed. What he wanted,
:12:08. > :12:13.how he wanted to play, the players who could take on board what he
:12:13. > :12:18.wanted, put that into action. He has a bit of money to spend, it
:12:18. > :12:23.looks OK. Sheffield Wednesday looked to extend their great run
:12:23. > :12:27.under David Jones, unbeaten in 16 in the league. They're also making
:12:27. > :12:37.their mark in the cup after dumping out for them. They play Crystal
:12:37. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:47.dangers of playing a Palace side who were hurting. His pre-match
:12:47. > :12:52.assessment was a bang on. His team had barely settled before Bolasie
:12:52. > :12:58.got clear of Buxton and crossed for Glenn Murray. They were 1-0 up
:12:58. > :13:08.after 30 seconds. But Sheffield Wednesday did not surrender their
:13:08. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:15.unbeaten record lightly. Them bombardment continued. This got
:13:15. > :13:19.Palace to the break in one piece, but five minutes into the second
:13:19. > :13:25.half, Miguel Llera's corner found its way to Antonia, who bundled in
:13:25. > :13:33.the equaliser. That left Dougie Freedman's men facing a test of
:13:33. > :13:38.character. Wilfried Zaha are tormented many defenders. The
:13:38. > :13:42.referee gave the penalty. Cue mass protests from those in yellow.
:13:42. > :13:48.After the intervention from the system, the right decision was
:13:48. > :13:53.reached. But that failed to knock Palace out of their stride. This
:13:53. > :14:03.time, Wilfried Zaha are tied Jones up in knots before steering the
:14:03. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:08.ball into the path of Glenn Murray. They will say he got it right,
:14:08. > :14:11.which he did, but he changed the complexion of the game. He changed
:14:11. > :14:16.the whole atmosphere around the place. The fans are now baying for
:14:16. > :14:21.blood and we are on the back foot, we have been put on the back foot
:14:21. > :14:31.by a decision that he should never have made. You cannot be doing that.
:14:31. > :14:36.
:14:36. > :14:46.If he says to me he got it right in debut at least United. Rovers were
:14:46. > :14:47.
:14:47. > :14:55.within a whisker of losing this one despite a stirring start. Olsson
:14:55. > :15:05.gave Blackburn the lead. Nuno Gomes has seen more big games than most.
:15:05. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:12.He added to his career goals. Leeds United cannot really compete but
:15:12. > :15:17.have confirmed El-Hadji Diouf's services until January. He got them
:15:17. > :15:23.back into the match. Ross McCormack's equaliser was better
:15:23. > :15:30.looking. The momentum was firmly with the home side. Blackburn
:15:30. > :15:40.buckled under the pressure and soon fell behind to Becchio. But Leeds
:15:40. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:49.United could not hang on. Rochina did not need much room. It finished
:15:49. > :15:58.3-3. A marvellous game. Two goals behind everybody would have written
:15:58. > :16:03.us off. We have got to keep going. We feel a bit let down at the end.
:16:03. > :16:09.Bristol City looked aside for Barnsley to fear. Barnsley decided
:16:09. > :16:18.that Haq would be better than defence. They made light of their
:16:18. > :16:24.continued lack of resources. When Davies had the goal in his sights,
:16:24. > :16:33.the goalkeeper reacted quickly. Five minutes into the second have,
:16:33. > :16:42.Martin Cranie centre in the perfect cross from no less to score. -- for
:16:42. > :16:46.Mellis to score. This wild challenge quickly put the result
:16:46. > :16:50.back in the balance. The referee was unimpressed. Barnsley would
:16:50. > :16:59.have to defend their lead for more than a third of the match with just
:16:59. > :17:07.10 men. With the help of the woodwork, to the dismay of Steven
:17:07. > :17:13.Davis, the home side saw the game through.
:17:13. > :17:20.It was a busy transfer deadline day for Gianfranco Zola. Watford added
:17:20. > :17:30.five more players. Derby County were looking to put an end to five
:17:30. > :17:39.months without a home when. Keogh put them ahead early on. Derby
:17:39. > :17:45.doubled their advantage through Hendrick. After one goal in 31
:17:45. > :17:50.games for Wigan, Conor Sammon made an excellent first impression for
:17:51. > :17:58.his new employers with a fine cole mack. Poor defending was to blame
:17:58. > :18:05.for Watford's defeat in the League Cup in the week. Shortly after the
:18:05. > :18:14.break, another set play was not properly dealt with. Hughes scored
:18:14. > :18:18.for Derby. Watford failed to handle him for much of the afternoon. He
:18:18. > :18:26.finally got the goal his performance deserved after an
:18:26. > :18:33.excellent run by Coutts. Then two of the young signings for Udinese
:18:33. > :18:38.combined to pull them back. It has been a week to forget for Watford.
:18:38. > :18:44.I know it has not been a good game. We are disappointed and sorry for
:18:44. > :18:50.the supporters. We will make up for that as soon as possible. We need
:18:50. > :19:00.to make sure that we are a little bit more positive if we want to
:19:00. > :19:06.Huge relief for Crystal Palace and Dougie Freedman. First points on
:19:06. > :19:11.the board. Do you will have been as confused as all of us with the
:19:11. > :19:17.referee changing his mind. It was a strange decision. He was not far
:19:17. > :19:23.away. It was a decent tackle. It was absolutely not a penalty. He
:19:23. > :19:27.gets the right decision. Albeit it takes him a while. He gives them --
:19:27. > :19:32.he it's a drop ball and then changes his mind and gives a free
:19:32. > :19:39.kick. It is better than giving a penalty which was not a penalty.
:19:39. > :19:45.every game at Ewood Park. What an equalising goal from Rochina.
:19:45. > :19:53.was a fantastic game. The very cheeky back-heel. Quick thinking.
:19:53. > :19:59.Especially when you have got your back to poll. -- goal. The result
:19:59. > :20:03.has been coming for Derby County after some encouraging performances.
:20:03. > :20:10.Five goals against Watford. Nigel Clough quietly goes about his
:20:10. > :20:17.business. They are very competitive. Yes, they have taken a little while
:20:17. > :20:24.to bed in. A couple of strange results. Conceding five in the
:20:24. > :20:29.copper against Scunthorpe. -- in the League Cup. He has met a couple
:20:29. > :20:33.of signings that will make a difference. I have always thought
:20:33. > :20:43.they are shy of a good goalscorer. They will be hoping that Conor
:20:43. > :20:46.Sammon will fill that gap. There might have a shared. Thanks to
:20:46. > :20:52.three wins out of three, Blackpool started the day top of the
:20:52. > :20:58.Championship. Just as important was their ability to hold onto comments
:20:58. > :21:03.and Matt Phillips. They put six past Ipswich last week. -- Tom Ince.
:21:03. > :21:09.Next for them was a trip to Leicester, who have lost three in
:21:09. > :21:13.all competitions. The latest was a humiliating defeat against Britain.
:21:13. > :21:23.Nigel Pearson reverted to last week's 11. Ian Holm ended a couple
:21:23. > :21:40.
:21:40. > :21:47.corner taken short. Marshall with the shop. Cleared by Baptiste. The
:21:47. > :21:57.goalkeeper's handling was not the most concise. Baptiste made the --
:21:57. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:22.nature of the ball was cleared. -- from Tom Ince. A really good move
:22:22. > :22:36.
:22:36. > :22:46.to watch.. She and intricate. -- handball against Barry Ferguson.
:22:46. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :23:00.Good control. I shot back of the Appeal loudly and at long but
:23:00. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:24.down. The challenge was made and it is deemed a fair one. Leicester
:23:25. > :23:34.City making all the running. Does he get the legs before the ball? A
:23:35. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:46.big shout. A big Blackpool left off as well. Vardy goes down. The
:23:46. > :23:52.referee says it is a penalty against Gomez. Gomez on Vardy.
:23:52. > :24:01.There is contact. Vardy takes the tumble. Gomez is the fall guy.
:24:02. > :24:07.Marshall verses Gilks. Marshall! Top corner. The goalkeeper got a
:24:07. > :24:13.touch. The foxes in front. What a week Ben Marshall is having. His
:24:13. > :24:23.first England Under 21 call up this week. And now on Saturday his first
:24:23. > :24:40.
:24:40. > :24:50.Blackpool ask the question and the referee says no. The tumble was
:24:50. > :25:00.inside. For me, the referee made the correct decision. Dyer with the
:25:00. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:10.shot. It was blocked. Dire! Kuyt head block -- what a block on the
:25:11. > :25:20.line. Somehow it stays out. How does this not go in? Baptiste on
:25:20. > :25:30.the line with the block. Not cleared away by Leicester. Here is
:25:30. > :25:31.
:25:31. > :25:41.Tom Ince. He could not find Phillips. A real chance to level
:25:41. > :25:41.
:25:41. > :25:51.the game. Tom Ince with a scuffed shot back. A bouncing ball which he
:25:51. > :25:52.
:25:52. > :25:57.Nugent will try to deal with. Taylor-Fletcher. Here comes the
:25:58. > :26:07.cross. Baptiste with the header. Schmeichel got there in the nick of
:26:08. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:17.time. He got fingertips on it. The whistle goes. It is a win for Nigel
:26:17. > :26:23.Pearson and for Leicester. At Blackpool's expense. They lose for
:26:23. > :26:28.the first time this season. He wants more time. There is no time.
:26:28. > :26:34.Ian Holloway is livid. Blackpool beaten. Leicester are the victors.
:26:34. > :26:43.The boys so blatantly died. The crowd played their part. They
:26:43. > :26:46.crowd played their part. They shouted for hand ball. -- handball.
:26:47. > :26:51.It was a really entertaining game. Both managers talking about one
:26:51. > :26:59.particular penalty incident. What would you have done if you were the
:26:59. > :27:07.referee? I do now think that is a penalty. I think this one is. This
:27:07. > :27:16.one is not. Exactly the same as the first. That is a penalty. Konchesky
:27:16. > :27:23.brings him down. Ian Holloway was fuming. There should have been a
:27:23. > :27:26.penalty apiece. Maybe they got their little bit of luck. There
:27:26. > :27:32.have been a couple of incidents which have went against Leicester
:27:32. > :27:38.so far this season. It was not so much about the performance. It was
:27:38. > :27:42.about the result. Take the Burton game out, they were desperately
:27:42. > :27:47.unlucky last week against Blackburn. They will think a little bit of
:27:47. > :27:52.justice has been done. The need for or the result was also important
:27:52. > :27:57.going into an international break? Yes, you do not want to have some
:27:57. > :28:04.time off with a bad result. It was a stuttering start. Others sudden
:28:04. > :28:09.it looks a little bit healthier. -- others sudden. People can relax.
:28:09. > :28:14.You can go to training with a smile on your face. The rest of the
:28:14. > :28:21.action from the Championship. We start at the Den when Millwall red
:28:21. > :28:31.home to Middlesbrough. -- where Millwall Worrack home to
:28:31. > :28:34.
:28:34. > :28:38.points of the season. Premiership clubs were sniffing around Liam
:28:38. > :28:46.Trotter on deadline day. It is not hard to see why. He scored the
:28:46. > :28:53.opener. The man assigned on the final day of the previous transfer
:28:53. > :29:02.window equalised -- doubled Millwall's lead, and the key hole.
:29:02. > :29:07.-- Andy Keogh. Middlesbrough got back in the match before half-time.
:29:07. > :29:13.Mark and then there's scored from the power of the spot. He sent Maik
:29:13. > :29:19.Taylor the wrong way. It was a very tight second half. Millwall
:29:19. > :29:29.eventually settled things four minutes from the end. Andy Keogh
:29:29. > :29:29.
:29:29. > :29:33.scored his 12th goal in 23 matches. Tony Mowbray blamed a lack of end
:29:33. > :29:43.product from his side. He was not wrong. Business was not becoming of
:29:43. > :29:52.
:29:52. > :29:56.their striker rated at �5 million. The opening part of the game was
:29:56. > :30:00.cat and mouse and I am pleased with the performance and the Rasiak. I
:30:01. > :30:04.think we will be up there at the end of the season. They were
:30:04. > :30:11.extremely hard and put the ball in the box and if you cannot deal with
:30:11. > :30:16.the box and if you cannot deal with that, you can lose football matches.
:30:16. > :30:21.Last season Burnley had the edge over Brighton. This looked friendly
:30:21. > :30:26.enough to start with, but there was a determination in Albion's racks
:30:26. > :30:31.to change the pattern. Nobody looked more fired up than Craig
:30:31. > :30:39.Mackail-Smith. That superb strike was Brighton's first goal in their
:30:39. > :30:48.travels since March. Not that Bernie would make it easy. Charlie
:30:48. > :30:57.Austin reminded Gus Poyet's men this match was far from decided.
:30:57. > :31:03.I'll be in's fans feared another miserable trip home. Craig Mackail-
:31:03. > :31:08.Smith's confidence was obvious. Lee Grant kept the Clarets on level
:31:08. > :31:18.terms, but the keeper could not get close to the next effort. After
:31:18. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:26.that, Burnley were heading for a straight third league defeat. Then
:31:26. > :31:32.Gordon Greer atoned for his own goal.
:31:32. > :31:37.Was that the best when you have ever scored? Yes, it is definitely
:31:37. > :31:44.in the top two. It was perfect and it felt right at that moment to do
:31:44. > :31:50.it and it was a great feeling. Then to get bundled by the boys was a
:31:50. > :31:55.good laugh. So Steve Bruce could breathe a sigh
:31:55. > :32:01.of relief after closing several deals this week. The Tigers had
:32:01. > :32:05.just managed a single goal in their first three league Games. Owen
:32:05. > :32:15.Coyle demanded a performance by his team after their humbling midweek.
:32:15. > :32:17.
:32:17. > :32:24.That is what he got. Chris Eagles got the first game -- goal. Sony
:32:24. > :32:31.Aluko scored his first goal for the club. More poor defending led to's
:32:31. > :32:39.second. Three minutes later Stephen Quinn capped an impressive home
:32:39. > :32:49.debut with a goal of his own. He could hardly miss 24 hours after
:32:49. > :32:51.
:32:51. > :33:01.signing from Sheffield United. Balkan's indecision was exploited
:33:01. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:09.when Simpson ran on and the referee failed to gather the ball. We have
:33:09. > :33:13.played some really good stuff today and we have got good, big
:33:13. > :33:16.performances from individuals making their debuts and it has been
:33:16. > :33:20.a good day for us against one of the favourites. It is a decent
:33:20. > :33:25.start. A frustrating 24 hours for
:33:25. > :33:29.Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson after attempts to sign Jermaine
:33:30. > :33:38.Beckford fell flat. They were desperate to find a replacement
:33:38. > :33:43.after losing Jordan Rhodes. The fragile defence was breached again
:33:43. > :33:52.nine minutes before the break, Adam Clayton driving the visitors into
:33:52. > :33:59.the lead. Daryl Murphy headed into the path of Luke Chambers, his
:33:59. > :34:08.first goal in 17 months. It gave the home side the momentum. Michael
:34:08. > :34:13.Chopra then made the finish look simple. His second of the campaign.
:34:13. > :34:19.With 10 minutes left Danny Ward found space down the left and
:34:19. > :34:29.provided the perfect cross for James Vaughan. It was a frantic
:34:29. > :34:35.finish and Ipswich went for broke. But Michael Chopra or rattled the
:34:35. > :34:41.post. Then a terrific run from Adam Hamel had the Ipswich defenders
:34:41. > :34:51.back-pedalling. Jack Hunt's surge into the box was cut short by
:34:51. > :34:53.
:34:53. > :34:56.Murphy. James Bond then had the chance to grab the headlines. But
:34:56. > :35:02.there was one final piece of business to take care of. James
:35:02. > :35:08.Vaughan was denied for a second time and both sides had to settle
:35:08. > :35:18.for a draw. To come here and get a point against a good team shows
:35:18. > :35:18.
:35:18. > :35:23.that we are doing OK. It was hard to work out which manager was under
:35:23. > :35:29.pressure. There will be a measure of relief before Lee Clark now that
:35:29. > :35:35.Birmingham are up and running. On another day this effort would have
:35:35. > :35:43.crept in. The goalkeeper was well beaten. The only goal also had more
:35:43. > :35:48.than an element of good fortune about it. Robert Olejnik put just
:35:48. > :35:57.enough backspin on it took out foxed everyone. It is not that the
:35:57. > :36:00.Blues did not create chances, they just did not take them. Greg
:36:00. > :36:10.Eastman's follow up spoke volumes about the sort of game that this
:36:10. > :36:10.
:36:11. > :36:16.was. This is their worst start in 14 years. In a match between two of
:36:16. > :36:23.colour sides it was the blues who got the lucky break. We are looking
:36:23. > :36:33.for the first win of the season, and you take whatever comes. What
:36:33. > :36:34.
:36:34. > :36:40.has happened to date is the players A great win for Brighton and back
:36:40. > :36:46.amongst the girls after initially struggling. Craig Mackail-Smith,
:36:46. > :36:51.you can tell that he is on top of his game. He has certainly got his
:36:51. > :36:56.confidence back. He had a good start to the last season. He tailed
:36:56. > :37:01.off towards the back end and they were struggling a bit in front of
:37:01. > :37:07.the goal at the start of the season. He looks as if he has got his
:37:07. > :37:14.confidence back. If he was lacking in confidence, he would not take
:37:14. > :37:19.chances like that. They have also added Stephen Dobbie. It will keep
:37:19. > :37:23.Craig Mackail-Smith on his toes. has come from another club that
:37:23. > :37:33.knocked the ball around, so his next club will be Nottingham
:37:33. > :37:37.Forest! We saw Hull scoring three against Bolton. For Bolton is it a
:37:38. > :37:43.case of carrying over the negativity from last season? I do
:37:43. > :37:47.not know, maybe it is a rude awakening, this is a tough division.
:37:47. > :37:52.They have got a few players that could serve them well at this level.
:37:52. > :37:56.They will be scratching their heads. They have got to cut out the
:37:56. > :38:01.individual errors. They will have expected better. They will not want
:38:01. > :38:07.to finish where they are now, that is a certainty. But you do not have
:38:07. > :38:12.to win every game. A Reading last four of their first six Games and
:38:12. > :38:17.look where they are. Yes, they stick a couple of results together
:38:17. > :38:21.and everything is different in a couple of weeks' time. Next to
:38:21. > :38:28.League One and Gary Johnson seems to be working his old magic at
:38:28. > :38:38.Yeovil Town. They have carried on where they left off, storming to
:38:38. > :38:39.
:38:39. > :38:46.the top after their first three Games. We meet the man himself.
:38:46. > :38:56.Deepest, rural Somerset. A football backwater until Gary Johnson put
:38:56. > :38:58.
:38:58. > :39:03.Yeovil Town on the map a decade ago. But having finally ended the club's
:39:03. > :39:08.108 years state in non-league football and securing another
:39:08. > :39:11.promotion to League One... Disappointment for Gary Johnson.
:39:11. > :39:21.was lured away to take Bristol City within a whisker of the Premier
:39:21. > :39:24.League. Then the fortunes of both put a tumble. Amanda's career
:39:24. > :39:29.spluttered with Peterborough, Northampton and his former club
:39:29. > :39:39.became one of their division's perennial strugglers. Until working
:39:39. > :39:40.
:39:40. > :39:47.with the manager he replaced, there is another new chapter in Yeovil
:39:47. > :39:53.town's history. Mind you I enjoyed my time here and we had good
:39:53. > :39:59.success and I have got two great friends here. I decided to come
:39:59. > :40:04.back and we have not looked back since. This was probably the ideal
:40:05. > :40:08.scenario the first time round, but it did not work out like that. I
:40:08. > :40:12.have got three years' experience and we have got somebody who has
:40:12. > :40:22.the experience of being one game away from the Premier League.
:40:22. > :40:32.want to have a look at something in reception. Come on. Have you only
:40:32. > :40:32.
:40:32. > :40:36.got one suit. He is a bit taller than you. It is a different suit.
:40:36. > :40:42.He has been found in town a couple of times and he has been found
:40:42. > :40:47.driving my car, speeding. And the other one was that topless photo of
:40:47. > :40:51.the players will stop you came up with this idea. I did not see the
:40:51. > :40:56.point of having a press day without a sponsor on your shirt, so I said,
:40:56. > :41:04.we are not going to wear any shirts and we had a sponsor within a
:41:04. > :41:08.couple of days. Come on. This is Dan at the kit man, he is 13th. I
:41:08. > :41:17.have been told I have to look at this tattoo will stop did you do it
:41:17. > :41:21.yourself? You went to put your name on and they put dad aren't instead?
:41:21. > :41:27.Did you not speak clearly did them as Denmark and his club has got
:41:27. > :41:32.growth on it? Yes, I think the aim is to take it into the Championship.
:41:32. > :41:40.We have got a decent group of footballers who want to take
:41:41. > :41:45.themselves into the Championship if they can. Yeovil have never flown
:41:45. > :41:55.this high before in their history, but there was no flapping. Reuben
:41:55. > :42:06.
:42:06. > :42:16.his old club. His third of the campaign. It looked good for the
:42:16. > :42:24.
:42:24. > :42:34.leaders. Brown was the culprit. But roseate a quo was much more
:42:34. > :42:37.
:42:37. > :42:47.clinical. -- roseate a clue. Bailey painter gave the travelling fans a
:42:47. > :42:58.
:42:58. > :43:03.Well, well, that was a big test to date. It was a good test and we
:43:03. > :43:07.knew it would be. We were not shrinking violets and we kept
:43:07. > :43:13.ourselves in there and a bit of quality for the two goals. I
:43:13. > :43:19.thought we deserved it bore the three points. It is incredible when
:43:19. > :43:24.you think Gary Johnson is operating a squad of 18 first tee Mars,
:43:24. > :43:28.including three loan players. does not surprise me they have got
:43:28. > :43:35.another good result. There have been a lot of teams in midweek who
:43:35. > :43:40.got a result, but to dig up get a result debate. They were fantastic.
:43:40. > :43:46.They have got pace and quality and they are big and they are strong.
:43:46. > :43:52.Looking at them, and most seasons in this division, their brief will
:43:52. > :43:56.be two State in it. They have to do it. Every now and again a year will
:43:56. > :44:01.come a long where they will have a chance and they will go close to
:44:01. > :44:07.the top six, but it will not happen every year, because you cannot
:44:07. > :44:11.compete with his budget. Every now and again it will happen. Looking
:44:11. > :44:21.at what I saw on Tuesday if they keep players fit, they should not
:44:21. > :44:37.
:44:37. > :44:42.be far away. This could be their start of play. By the end of it,
:44:42. > :44:46.one of them was well-beaten. Cassidy scored his first goal since
:44:46. > :44:50.a re-signing on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. He had his
:44:50. > :44:59.second winner Wilson deflected this pass into his path in the second
:44:59. > :45:09.half. Before this season Bakayogo had only scored once in three years.
:45:09. > :45:16.
:45:16. > :45:20.worse as a Wallace charged into the area and found Cassidy, who
:45:20. > :45:30.completed a hat-trick. Tranmere go to the top of the division on goal
:45:30. > :45:33.
:45:33. > :45:38.reacted quickest to give them a fifth-minute lead at Stevenage. But
:45:38. > :45:44.the hosts were on their best ever run, and went -- wouldn't
:45:44. > :45:53.relinquish that lightly. Anxious moments for the visiting boss, who
:45:53. > :46:03.saw his side under pressure again moments after. Charles-broke his a
:46:03. > :46:18.
:46:18. > :46:23.non scoring run with a spectacular downfall of Bury here. The worst
:46:23. > :46:29.possible start for the shakers, who stirred themselves awake, and
:46:29. > :46:35.almost levelled shortly before the break. Buried's performance was
:46:35. > :46:45.better than the result suggested it. Judge, however, had the final say,
:46:45. > :46:51.
:46:52. > :46:55.he made the scoreline more first point of the season. Martin
:46:55. > :47:02.Rowlands, the former QPR midfielder, had one of their key chances early
:47:02. > :47:11.on. The Reds responded and almost took a spectacular Leeds as the
:47:11. > :47:16.ball fell to Simpson. Niki Adams, who once had a short loan spell
:47:16. > :47:24.with Orient, joined Crawley this season. He should have had his
:47:24. > :47:34.first League goal here. In the second half, Adams teed up is a
:47:34. > :47:37.
:47:37. > :47:47.chance. No goal, no penalty either. But when deadline day signing Mike
:47:47. > :47:51.
:47:51. > :47:54.Jones hit this pass, it was the been recognised by her beloved
:47:54. > :47:59.Sheffield United. Unfortunately, Jessica Ennis could not be without
:47:59. > :48:04.family to see one of the stands named in her honour. She missed AA
:48:04. > :48:10.belter. Bournemouth got off to a flier thanks to this header from
:48:10. > :48:14.Elphick. His second goal in as many matches didn't have been in front
:48:14. > :48:22.for long. Flynn connected with McAllister's header to restore
:48:22. > :48:25.parity. His first goal was soon followed by his second. The cross
:48:25. > :48:32.from a mine was only partially cleared, and Flynn found himself in
:48:32. > :48:39.oceans of space, picking his spot beautifully. Danny Wilson's players
:48:39. > :48:44.were responding to his call to be more ruthless in front of goal.
:48:44. > :48:49.This was a fantastic first half display, Sheffield United were
:48:49. > :48:53.applauded off the pitch. But the points were far from safe. Lee
:48:53. > :49:01.Barnard put the travellers back into contention after the break.
:49:01. > :49:08.Soon after, assault -- Cresswell was introduced. He made it 4-2 on
:49:08. > :49:13.the hour. That first league win appeared in the back, but three
:49:13. > :49:23.minutes from time, Mark Pugh's striker made it an uncomfortable
:49:23. > :49:25.
:49:25. > :49:35.finish. But Charlie Daniels cent of the striker tumbling, and United
:49:35. > :49:37.
:49:37. > :49:45.As for Tranmere, a staggering start. But we shouldn't be surprised at,
:49:45. > :49:49.because we saw signs of this last season. It feels alive, doesn't it?
:49:49. > :49:53.Feels as if there was a bit of a malaise before the new manager came,
:49:53. > :49:59.all of a sudden, it seems as if there is some direction to the
:49:59. > :50:02.bubble club. Everybody will get behind him. You feel like all of a
:50:02. > :50:09.sudden, there is something about the club, something tangible that
:50:09. > :50:16.you can see. As the Sheffield United, five goals against
:50:16. > :50:20.Bournemouth. Great backing at Bramall Lane, 18,000. These are
:50:20. > :50:24.great times. This is the kind of performance that makes you sit up
:50:24. > :50:30.and take notice. Of course, you say that, but how many times have we
:50:30. > :50:35.seen people lose play-off finals the way they lost last season, I
:50:35. > :50:40.have lost a play-off final, I think we got beaten 6-0 in the first game
:50:40. > :50:45.next season. It is not easy to get over that. But he has pressure
:50:45. > :50:49.ended up, brought one or two in, they looked in good nick. It is a
:50:49. > :50:55.tough job, because of all the pressure, the expectation on the
:50:55. > :51:00.club. And they brought in Kitson, an interesting acquisition. Maybe
:51:00. > :51:04.plenty of goals to come for him. Brentford have struggled for
:51:04. > :51:14.consistency, they have put in two in different performances before
:51:14. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:24.the Saddlers could have done without seeing this thunderbolt
:51:24. > :51:31.bouncing off the bar. They needn't have been concerned. Their tenacity
:51:31. > :51:41.opened the way for Paterson to put the home side in front. And Dean
:51:41. > :51:45.
:51:45. > :51:48.Smith's team gave Brentford no chance to regain their composure.
:51:48. > :51:53.Brentford could hardly believe it, but they hammered five past Crewe
:51:53. > :51:58.Alexandra last time, so this was still far from over. They looked
:51:58. > :52:01.for a way back and rattled the woodwork. The home side's nerves
:52:02. > :52:07.began to jangle. The accuracy of Jonathan Douglas had the Londoners
:52:07. > :52:12.back in with a shout. Just before the final whistle, all they could
:52:12. > :52:20.do was look to the linesman and hope. But there was no flag.
:52:20. > :52:25.Dorrell some's 4th goal in three games had saved the day for Britain.
:52:25. > :52:31.After a League Cup wins, both of these teams are looking forward to
:52:31. > :52:36.ties against the Premier League teams. On Tuesday, Luke Chadwick
:52:36. > :52:40.ended his one-year goal drought with the brace that toppled
:52:40. > :52:46.Blackburn. 12 minutes in, he got his third in five days, and what a
:52:46. > :52:52.goal it was. Carlisle's form on the road has not been good, and they
:52:52. > :53:02.looked like they would be struggling to get a second away win
:53:02. > :53:03.
:53:03. > :53:08.in 14. Late on, the home side handed a debut to their midweek
:53:08. > :53:14.signing, Jimmy Bullard. He couldn't quite calm about a third, but it
:53:14. > :53:24.mattered not. The Dons even avoided a red card for the first time in
:53:24. > :53:27.
:53:27. > :53:37.win that would help him possibly land the commentary job on a full-
:53:37. > :53:41.time basis. He watched Baker fluff his lines. One goal settled it.
:53:41. > :53:46.Clayton's first League goal of the campaign. Coventry were below par.
:53:46. > :53:50.Their captain has since apologised for the abject display and for
:53:50. > :54:00.squaring up to one of the travelling supporters. The Sky
:54:00. > :54:05.
:54:05. > :54:14.head to head at Fratton Park. Oldham went even closer before
:54:14. > :54:23.half-time. That a lot from Burns, Pompey were rescued. Encouragement
:54:23. > :54:29.for the Latics, who rarely enjoy away trips in the league. Their
:54:29. > :54:39.lack certainly turn just before the hour. Grounds received the credit,
:54:39. > :54:42.
:54:42. > :54:46.but the home defender may have had it tetchy. The referee deemed the
:54:46. > :54:52.Portsmouth youngster to be the aggressor. After word on the
:54:52. > :55:02.sideline, decided that the album man should go the same way. --
:55:02. > :55:08.
:55:08. > :55:12.older man. The red cards failed to Cooper more time to calm down. He
:55:12. > :55:19.has been less impressed -- less than impressed with his team's
:55:19. > :55:24.start to the season. That was Hartlepool's first goal of the new
:55:24. > :55:34.campaign, but Scunthorpe soon tested their resolve of. Duffy
:55:34. > :55:36.
:55:36. > :55:39.failed to make the most of the rebound. Walker's decision to use
:55:39. > :55:43.his hands and brought the severest punishment possible. That meant
:55:43. > :55:47.Steve Howard had the chance to open his account for the club that gave
:55:48. > :55:52.him his professional debut 17 years earlier. But the keeper kept him
:55:52. > :55:58.waiting. Cooper's men managed to guarantee the win with four minutes
:55:58. > :56:08.to go. James and sentenced Scunthorpe to a 6th successive
:56:08. > :56:10.
:56:10. > :56:14.It just hasn't worked, the move to Scunthorpe? He was relatively
:56:14. > :56:17.successful at Bury, we understood why he took a job at Scunthorpe, I
:56:17. > :56:24.am not sure how many people expected them to stay up, they got
:56:24. > :56:29.relegated. They're at the level you expect them to be. Four defeat in
:56:29. > :56:32.your first four is not a great way to start the season, he will know
:56:32. > :56:42.things need to improve. Crewe Alexandra and Coventry were
:56:42. > :56:42.
:56:42. > :56:47.separated by two divisions, this is a terrific win. A I think the
:56:47. > :56:51.manager has given them a bit of direction, bit of age to their game,
:56:51. > :56:55.taking them to another level. Yes, there are periods in their history
:56:55. > :57:00.where they have struggled at this level, but I think they will be OK.
:57:00. > :57:04.Three point from four games for Coventry, is Richard sure the right
:57:04. > :57:10.man for the job? They Ara side he got a great result midweek and
:57:10. > :57:18.haven't been able to follow it up, that is the hardest thing, after
:57:18. > :57:23.the low at -- Lord Mayor's Show. They have got seven players in, he
:57:23. > :57:26.knows the players come up that is fine, it is great to be in that
:57:26. > :57:31.position, he is a lovely fellow and has done his apprenticeship. But
:57:31. > :57:37.you have got to get the results. Oxford were the early pace-setters
:57:37. > :57:47.at the top of League Two after a 100% start. Their opponents were
:57:47. > :57:50.
:57:50. > :57:57.you might have expected them to hold out for a bit longer than 16
:57:57. > :58:05.seconds in this one. But that is how long it took York to score the
:58:05. > :58:15.opening goal. This was the first time that two sides have met since
:58:15. > :58:21.
:58:21. > :58:29.Oxford one the 2010 play-off final. survivor from their Wembley defeat.
:58:29. > :58:33.He would have denied it saving from the spot. Two minutes later, York
:58:33. > :58:38.doubled their lead. Chambers continued his early-season form. It
:58:38. > :58:48.is his third in as many matches. Oxford did pull one back at,
:58:48. > :58:55.
:58:55. > :59:02.thundering a header in, they could goal cushion nine minutes after the
:59:02. > :59:12.restart. Perfect revenge for McLoughlin and there Yorke, who
:59:12. > :59:21.
:59:21. > :59:31.lost to Oxford at Wembley by the St and it was a winner the start of
:59:31. > :59:39.
:59:39. > :59:45.the season. The change appeared to through Kedwell. Gillingham had
:59:45. > :59:50.plenty of chances to preserve their 100% start to the season. Deon
:59:50. > :59:54.Burton was denied by a goal line clearance. There was not enough
:59:54. > :00:04.time for Gillingham to take advantage of a second booking for
:00:04. > :00:05.
:00:05. > :00:10.Westcarr. Marta Nala and's man go top-of-the-table. -- Martin Allen.
:00:10. > :00:20.Accrington were chasing the win which would give them the best
:00:20. > :00:28.
:00:28. > :00:32.start to the season since 2006. A month opened the scoring. -- Amond.
:00:32. > :00:36.Miller was released by Preston in the summer. He clearly feels that
:00:36. > :00:46.home Guinese new corner of Lancashire. He put the visitors two
:00:46. > :00:48.
:00:49. > :00:58.ahead. Boka resigned for Accrington on Friday. His goal sealed the
:00:59. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:15.at the New York Stadium. They were ahead inside the first minute.
:01:15. > :01:20.Michael Love, or the scorer. Just the start Steve Evans's side craved.
:01:20. > :01:26.It got better. Gareth Evans doubling the advantage against his
:01:26. > :01:36.former club in emphatic fashion. The momentum was with the home side.
:01:36. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:42.It fell to Pringle to score the third. Phil Parkinson's men were
:01:42. > :01:52.being swept away. Bradford's hopes of a comeback faded before the
:01:52. > :01:56.
:01:56. > :02:06.break. They scored an offside goal. Rotherham made it more comfortable
:02:06. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:13.four minutes from the end. Evans the scorer. Home Sweet home indeed.
:02:13. > :02:20.Torquay took a very young side to Port Vale and just about came away
:02:20. > :02:25.with their unbeaten record intact. When Morris finished United had
:02:25. > :02:30.been under the cosh for most of the opening 39 minutes. Port Vale
:02:30. > :02:36.dominated but found goals hard to come by. That was partly due to the
:02:36. > :02:44.brilliance of the goalkeeper. It took a freak goal to get Nicky
:02:44. > :02:49.Adams's side Saah losing his bearings and nodding in the
:02:49. > :02:54.equaliser with 20 minutes remaining. It could have been worse. A couple
:02:54. > :03:04.of minutes later he was at it again. He was centimetres away from a
:03:04. > :03:13.
:03:13. > :03:23.memorable brace. Torquay hung on of the week in dumping Leicester
:03:23. > :03:33.City out of the League Cup. Exeter were worth their third win in
:03:33. > :03:34.
:03:34. > :03:41.succession, this opener from Jimmy Cureton. -- Jamie Cureton. They
:03:41. > :03:51.could have been three or four ahead at the break. They had to settle
:03:51. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :03:57.for two. Davies the scorer. This was the third time in four games
:03:57. > :04:06.that Britain failed to get on the scoresheet. As Mike Burton. All
:04:06. > :04:16.four of their strikers were on the pitch for the final minutes.
:04:16. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:25.the winter temperatures of -120 degrees in a cryogenic chamber to
:04:25. > :04:35.prepare them for a second match in under 48 hours. It was Plymouth who
:04:35. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:46.froze early on. In the second half, Argyll turned the game and its head.
:04:46. > :04:50.Feeney equalised. Until this summer, Griffiths was a fireman. He put
:04:51. > :04:54.that career on hold to sign professional forms. 40 minutes
:04:54. > :05:01.after coming off the bench he marked his full League debut with a
:05:01. > :05:07.goal. Not long afterwards he was forced off injured. His replacement
:05:07. > :05:13.was 19 year-old Curtis Nelson. He scored his first goal for the club.
:05:13. > :05:19.He seemed as surprised as everybody else. Artell was a whiff of the
:05:19. > :05:29.post away from putting the visitors back in it. When he did score it
:05:29. > :05:43.
:05:43. > :05:47.Morecambe. They had played Bristol Rovers. Mark McGhee made Rovers
:05:47. > :05:50.what's this defeat immediately afterwards. Richards's effort was
:05:50. > :05:56.probably the highlight. It will make uncomfortable viewing for
:05:56. > :06:06.Rovers. They fell behind to Mac Donald and never looked back --
:06:06. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:14.never looked like getting back in it. -- McDonald. Fenton made it two.
:06:14. > :06:22.The shrimps on their way to a third away win out of four. Rovers were
:06:22. > :06:27.denied a first win last week when a thunderstorm saw the game abandoned.
:06:27. > :06:34.Morecambe were comfortably the better side. Ellison made it 3.
:06:34. > :06:41.Rovers have lost five of their last six games. They drop into the
:06:41. > :06:48.bottom two. It never rains but it pours. At first ever meeting
:06:48. > :06:58.between these sides was brought to life by this moment of quality from
:06:58. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:02.Junior Brown. Howell received their first red card. He was adjudged to
:07:02. > :07:08.have handled on the goal line. Scott Davis responded with a
:07:08. > :07:18.spectacular save. The 10 men were holding their own when Aldershot
:07:18. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:31.drew level. There was never even a hint that they would settle for a
:07:31. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:39.point despite being a man down. Payne got a second yellow.
:07:39. > :07:45.Aldershot were down to 10 men. A wonderful pass by Brown was
:07:45. > :07:51.returned by Mangan and side-footed home by Brown again. In stoppage
:07:51. > :08:01.time, Mangan got their 4th goal. It was a performance of real character
:08:01. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:06.having lost Howell early on. It is not hard for Wycombe players
:08:06. > :08:14.to pick each other out in their fluorescent shirts. New signing
:08:14. > :08:22.Matt Parsons found Olley. His shot trickled at the wrong side of the
:08:22. > :08:28.post. Assombalonga scored his second poll since signing from
:08:28. > :08:38.Watford. Wycombe's goalkeeper had made one could save. He was called
:08:38. > :08:46.into action again. The visitors almost got a late equaliser.
:08:46. > :08:51.Southend finally have their first win of the season. Having conceded
:08:51. > :08:55.11 goals in two games, Wimbledon will have feared the worst when
:08:55. > :09:02.Gayle was tripped in the area after 15 minutes. Fortunately, Brown was
:09:02. > :09:07.on hand to save the penalty. Old habits die hard. The Dons defence
:09:07. > :09:12.was breached before the half-hour. Spillane was unmarked as he headed
:09:12. > :09:20.the opening dul mack. The east Londoners were not exactly
:09:20. > :09:26.watertight in defence themselves. Two minutes after taking the lead,
:09:26. > :09:36.Midson scored. A mad seven minutes Bell was completed when Harrison
:09:36. > :09:38.
:09:38. > :09:48.scored. -- Ahmad 7th minute spell. Wimbledon signed two defenders on
:09:48. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:06.deadline day. But Howell found first win of the season was
:10:06. > :10:16.comfortable. 17 minutes against -- in, Grimes scored. Rochdale were
:10:16. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:21.the better side in the first half. Adebola scored the second. Barnett
:10:22. > :10:28.rarely threatened. When they did they could not find the finishing
:10:28. > :10:38.touch. They find themselves bottom with just one of. Back row so far.
:10:38. > :10:40.
:10:40. > :10:46.It could be another grim fight for York put Oxford's winning streak to
:10:46. > :10:54.an end a? Garry Nelson has done an unbelievable job, coming in from
:10:54. > :10:59.Tamworth. They won the trophy last year and got promoted. Successive
:10:59. > :11:06.visits to Wembley and won them both. I like them. They play some good
:11:06. > :11:13.football. They know when to knock it around. A nice balanced team. No
:11:13. > :11:18.surprise they are doing well. It is good to see them back. Yesterdays.
:11:18. > :11:27.-- yes it is. Rather Marek the New York Stadium. Great performance
:11:27. > :11:33.against Bradford. Fantastic atmosphere. 11,000. In two home
:11:33. > :11:41.games... I went to Don Valley when they played. It was a ghost town.
:11:41. > :11:47.No atmosphere. They will be enjoying that. We saw it was like a
:11:47. > :11:55.breath of fresh air. Actually a sense of actually backing the town
:11:55. > :12:00.as well. Everybody feels part of it. There will be some expectation and
:12:00. > :12:10.pressure. But that sort of atmosphere, and more days like that.
:12:10. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:30.of the Championship. They were replaced by Peterborough who have
:12:30. > :12:35.lost all their games so far. Pre- season promotion favourites Bolton
:12:35. > :12:42.can reflect what has been a very poor start. At the top of League
:12:42. > :12:51.One, Tranmere have moved above Yeovil Town. Notts County move into
:12:51. > :13:01.third. As for Scunthorpe and Leyton Orient, they both sit at the bottom
:13:01. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:08.without a point. Gillingham lost their one rover per cent record. --
:13:08. > :13:13.100 percent record. Exeter in second. Oxford slipped into third.
:13:13. > :13:16.Barnett stay at the bottom of League Two. Bristol Rovers looking
:13:16. > :13:20.for their first win of the campaign along with Dagenham and Redbridge
:13:20. > :13:27.and Chesterfield. That is almost dead. A quick reminder that next
