0:00:32 > 0:00:35Good evening. So that's it then. After all the hype and hysteria,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38the transfer window has finally closed for business. Well, until
0:00:38 > 0:00:41the loan market re-opens on Friday. But in the Football League, there's
0:00:41 > 0:00:44been plenty of talk about deals that didn't happen. If it wasn't a
0:00:44 > 0:00:47reported failed eye test, one manager claimed that a player went
0:00:47 > 0:00:50AWOL after lunch to only start negotiating with another club. And
0:00:51 > 0:00:54when one player did move, his manager knew nothing about it. So
0:00:54 > 0:00:59plenty for to Steve to reflect on, including today's games in the
0:01:00 > 0:01:03npower Football League. After turning over Tottenham in the Cup
0:01:03 > 0:01:08last week, could Leeds use it as a springboard in what so far has been
0:01:08 > 0:01:10a disappointing league campaign? Neil Warnock's men were hoping for
0:01:10 > 0:01:15more of the same as the Championship leaders Cardiff came
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Leicester seem to have found their stride with the help of new signing,
0:01:18 > 0:01:28striker Chris Wood. We have action from the Foxes' Thursday night
0:01:28 > 0:01:34
0:01:34 > 0:01:37encounter with struggling Wolves. They have beaten several of the
0:01:37 > 0:01:46promotion it favours but have been propping up the table. Could
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Peterborough spark another mini- revival for the visit of Burnley?
0:01:51 > 0:02:01And we've have highlights from Saturday's Late Kick-Off between
0:02:01 > 0:02:03two teams very much in the hunt, It's been a busy few days for Leeds
0:02:03 > 0:02:06United. After impressively seeing off Spurs in the FA Cup last
0:02:06 > 0:02:10weekend, the Whites then sold wantaway top scorer Luciano Becchio
0:02:10 > 0:02:14in return for Norwich's Steve Morison plus a handy amount of cash.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And with games running out to make the play-offs, there was no better
0:02:16 > 0:02:19time to register a seventh straight home win against the leaders
0:02:19 > 0:02:29Cardiff, who were looking to end the day 10 points clear. Commentary
0:02:29 > 0:02:31
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Leeds United are back to big business and looking for a crack at
0:02:35 > 0:02:42Cardiff. Leeds lost top scorer Luciano Becchio to Norwich this
0:02:42 > 0:02:52week. Steve Morison has come the bad news is that he is not fit.
0:02:52 > 0:02:52
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Paddy Kenny replaces in goal. New edition Stephen Warnock and Habib
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Habibou are on the bench. Cardiff in Mick two changes from the last
0:03:00 > 0:03:05outing at Blackpool. Craig Bellamy and Ben Turner missed that game
0:03:05 > 0:03:08through illness and come back in. Kevin McNaughton and Joe Mason met
0:03:08 > 0:03:18with. New signing Fraizer Campbell recruited from Sunderland this week
0:03:18 > 0:03:33
0:03:33 > 0:03:39to David Marshall. Is that a back pass? And the referee, Mike Dean,
0:03:39 > 0:03:49will take the appropriate action, a yellow card for David Marshall.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50
0:03:50 > 0:03:57There it goes. Marshall had a clear sight of that as well. Leeds have a
0:03:57 > 0:04:04free kick now, inside the box. McCormack, straight at the wall,
0:04:04 > 0:04:10and it has done his job. There was too much traffic in front of him.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15There is Steve Morison, new signing for Leeds. He cannot play today.
0:04:15 > 0:04:25Five injury keeping him out of the equation. He could prove crucial in
0:04:25 > 0:04:28
0:04:28 > 0:04:36the run in. -- thigh injury. Is that a free kick? I think it is. It
0:04:36 > 0:04:41is getting frustrating for the spectators of both teams. Good save
0:04:41 > 0:04:51by David Marshall from Ross Barkley. He has come up with so many big
0:04:51 > 0:04:53
0:04:53 > 0:05:03saves this season. David Marshall to the rescue. It was teased in,
0:05:03 > 0:05:21
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Cardiff corner. Whip in towards the near post, and Paddy Kenny has two
0:05:26 > 0:05:36points that away. Paddy Kenny has had to be sharp on a couple of
0:05:36 > 0:05:43
0:05:43 > 0:05:51occasions at his near post. He had Barkley. He caught that crisply,
0:05:51 > 0:06:01but could not direct it on target. The lone player from Everton, still
0:06:01 > 0:06:01
0:06:01 > 0:06:07looking for his first goal for lease. -- Leeds. Cardiff with three
0:06:07 > 0:06:12in the box. Craig Conway might need a bit of help. He has done well to
0:06:12 > 0:06:18make space for the cross. And Craig Bellamy scores, but the flag is up,
0:06:18 > 0:06:28it will not count. Relief for Leeds supporters. Well-worked move from
0:06:28 > 0:06:38
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Cardiff. That man there was ready to punish them. Kim to Smith. Jan
0:06:43 > 0:06:49Tommy Smith find room for the shot? And he has sliced it behind. It was
0:06:49 > 0:06:58an opening for Tommy Smith, and Cardiff. Should they have made more
0:06:58 > 0:07:06of that? Another weapon for Malky Mackay to use in the remaining
0:07:06 > 0:07:16games, Fraizer Campbell. Dury comes, for his Cardiff City debut. -- here
0:07:16 > 0:07:27
0:07:27 > 0:07:34Nobody there to meet the cross. That was a poor clearance, and
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Fraizer Campbell! What that debut for Fraizer Campbell! With almost
0:07:39 > 0:07:46his first touch since coming on as substitute, he and Bines the
0:07:46 > 0:07:56breakthrough. It is the goal that the game has craved, for ages.
0:07:56 > 0:08:05
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Fraizer Campbell in just the right corner kick. Great save by David
0:08:10 > 0:08:20Marshall, Cardiff City just about survive. Leeds, looking for a hand
0:08:20 > 0:08:22
0:08:22 > 0:08:27ball. Tom Lees with the header. David Marshall was well placed to
0:08:27 > 0:08:32make the save. Big claims for hand ball, there. We knew it was not
0:08:32 > 0:08:36going to be easy. Leeds have won the last six home games. It was
0:08:36 > 0:08:41never going to be easy against Leeds United at Elland Road or Neil
0:08:41 > 0:08:48Warnock, so we had to make sure we came up here with a game plan and
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Doug in. I am delighted for the fans here today. They got the
0:08:53 > 0:09:00winner, got out of prison. That is why they top the league. Some great
0:09:00 > 0:09:03chances, we have missed chances. And we had a certain penalty. You
0:09:03 > 0:09:08might not have been able to see it but from the view at the side of
0:09:08 > 0:09:14the goal, it was handball. And the referee should be in a position to
0:09:14 > 0:09:17see that. He is a top referee, but the one decision we needed from him
0:09:17 > 0:09:23and his linesman was the handball, but they know that they might have
0:09:23 > 0:09:26got away with it, and good luck to them. We need to get Fraizer
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Campbell some menace on the pitch. He has not played much football
0:09:32 > 0:09:36risk that. We will break him in gently. But he came on today and
0:09:36 > 0:09:39with his first touch, he scored. But that is what centre-forwards do.
0:09:39 > 0:09:49He wants to play football desperately, and he wants to be
0:09:49 > 0:09:51
0:09:51 > 0:09:57It does not get much better than scoring with you second touch, as a
0:09:57 > 0:10:03striker. Not the greatest clearance, but he was right on the spot. He
0:10:03 > 0:10:12has only just come onto the field of play. He was ready to receive
0:10:12 > 0:10:17that ball. Neil Warnock said they should have had a penalty? Possibly,
0:10:17 > 0:10:23Mark Hudson leaves his arm out, and the ball there strike it, so they
0:10:23 > 0:10:33have got a point. Leeds had plenty of possession but Cardiff City dug
0:10:33 > 0:10:33
0:10:33 > 0:10:41in for the win. And that says a lot. Neil Warnock said they created two
0:10:41 > 0:10:47good chances and they it, but it was a good containing performance
0:10:47 > 0:10:52from Cardiff. They went down the other end and scored. They can find
0:10:52 > 0:10:57something that little bit extra to win a game of football and that is
0:10:57 > 0:11:02what they adding. Leeds are now six points off the pace, but Cardiff
0:11:02 > 0:11:08have extended their lead to 10 points over the chasing pack. Can
0:11:08 > 0:11:12the might be caught? Not on the evidence of this. The Maik are
0:11:12 > 0:11:21defensively very tight and going forward, they have got such a seven
0:11:21 > 0:11:24great players. Let's find out how those teams chasing Cardiff got on.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Starting with Thursday's midlands clash between in-form Leicester and
0:11:26 > 0:11:36struggling Wolves, who were chasing their first win under new manager
0:11:36 > 0:12:00
0:12:00 > 0:12:06goal has been coming. This guy scores. Quick thinking by Kasper
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Schmeichel. He exploits the fact that Stephen Walker pushed forward.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Wolves, always struggling to get back. The Wolves defenders did not
0:12:17 > 0:12:27quite know what to do. The goalkeeper will look back at that
0:12:27 > 0:12:32
0:12:32 > 0:12:42and feel that he should have done Sako. Have to see that again. The
0:12:42 > 0:12:50
0:12:50 > 0:12:56officials saw that. It had to be what a thunderous strike from
0:12:56 > 0:13:03Bacary Sagna or, and Wolves are level. The goal at of nothing. It
0:13:03 > 0:13:13is his first goal since the middle of November. Bacary Sagna with a
0:13:13 > 0:13:19
0:13:19 > 0:13:29bullet, draws rules level. -- Bakary Sako pulls Wolves level.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35
0:13:35 > 0:13:45Chris Wood misses a glorious chance the moment. David Nugent goes
0:13:45 > 0:13:49himself, and then sit in beautifully. -- bends it in. Goal
0:13:49 > 0:13:56number 14 in the Championship for David Nugent. Leicester City back
0:13:56 > 0:14:06in front. Wolves had committed a lot of bodies forward, and David
0:14:06 > 0:14:18
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Nugent use the other runners as a They played with a lot of spirit
0:14:23 > 0:14:29and quite a bit of quality at times. We conceded a bit too much
0:14:29 > 0:14:34possession. We weren't quite at our best but we still have enough
0:14:34 > 0:14:40quality to win the game. We played really well. We looked dangerous
0:14:40 > 0:14:45going forward. We have 14 chances, 10 clear cut chances. We did not
0:14:45 > 0:14:50take the chances and we got done and counter-attacks. Although they
0:14:50 > 0:14:54had other chances as well. The performance was good, just
0:14:55 > 0:14:59disappointed with the result. the Den it was Lions, tigers and
0:14:59 > 0:15:09the Den it was Lions, tigers and Beevers. Mark Beevers whose back-
0:15:09 > 0:15:23
0:15:23 > 0:15:31target. Millwall's promotion challenge is hampered by a chronic
0:15:31 > 0:15:36lack of goals. Despite beating Aston Villa in the cup, the Lions
0:15:36 > 0:15:40have and scored in their last three league matches. They did hit the
0:15:40 > 0:15:48target with this at that, but David Stockdale was behind it. At the
0:15:48 > 0:15:58other end, the goalkeeper kept Millwall in the match. There was no
0:15:58 > 0:16:02
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Eight poor goal to give away within 45 seconds. Mark Beevers has been
0:16:06 > 0:16:10excellent since he has been her and was great at the the mistake as
0:16:10 > 0:16:16well, he did not let it wobble him. We have not been able to put the
0:16:16 > 0:16:26ball in the net. Have Bolton got a stomach for another relegation
0:16:26 > 0:16:36
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Vicarage Road. The former Watford man did the honours. The last thing
0:16:42 > 0:16:52they needed after their surprise midweek defeat at Bristol Fitz t --
0:16:52 > 0:17:05
0:17:05 > 0:17:10after the break. The goalkeeper saved that one but it was left
0:17:10 > 0:17:20helpless when this one came off the woodwork. It was Watford that
0:17:20 > 0:17:23
0:17:23 > 0:17:32possessed the cutting edge. They are in the hunt for automatic
0:17:32 > 0:17:38promotion. A we know we have possibilities. As long as we keep
0:17:38 > 0:17:45working hard and we are getting better and better. We stand a
0:17:45 > 0:17:52chance. We're not having a lot of luck in front of goal. Defensively,
0:17:52 > 0:17:58we have done very well. We conceded the second goal, which was
0:17:58 > 0:18:08disappointing, but there are a lot of positives there. The Ian
0:18:08 > 0:18:19
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Holloway is not a fan of the towards his 4th goal of the season.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Chris Powell's team were looking for their 4th win in five league
0:18:28 > 0:18:35games and almost moved into a 2-0 lead when Jackson glanced a header
0:18:35 > 0:18:40wide. At the age of 39, this was a fresh start for Philips. The
0:18:40 > 0:18:49veteran almost marked his Palace debut with a goal. After going four
0:18:49 > 0:18:53games without a goal, glen Moray popped up with two. We Wilfred so
0:18:53 > 0:18:58higher making a �50 million move to Manchester knighted but staying on
0:18:58 > 0:19:08loans of the rest of the season, there is relief he remains a Palace
0:19:08 > 0:19:09
0:19:09 > 0:19:13player. That feeling to get back like that, not only that, but to
0:19:13 > 0:19:19play and create the chances we did in the end of that game is worth
0:19:19 > 0:19:23waiting for. I was thoroughly enjoying it. I thought we took a
0:19:23 > 0:19:28back step when we should have kept believing what we were doing. In
0:19:28 > 0:19:36the end, Murray, who was relatively quiet Scott two chances and got two
0:19:36 > 0:19:46goals. With the virus confining Mick McCarthy to his sickbed, Terry,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48
0:19:48 > 0:19:53was thrust into the managerial us spotlight. They doubled their lead
0:19:53 > 0:19:57in the second half. It a cracking first goal for Ipswich to go with
0:19:57 > 0:20:02the 17 he got when on loan at Coventry. It was Middlesbrough that
0:20:02 > 0:20:07looked under the weather. Aaron McLean had twice the strength
0:20:07 > 0:20:12before leaving Jason Steele on his back. Middlesbrough have lost all
0:20:12 > 0:20:20four of their games in 2013. A post-Christmas hangover, similar to
0:20:20 > 0:20:25the one last year. Smith's second wrapped things up. Get well soon
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Mick McCarthy, although on this evidence, you can take the time.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34spoke to him after the game and he was delighted with the result. Also
0:20:34 > 0:20:42the manner of the performance and the way we played pleased him as
0:20:42 > 0:20:46well. It has ended on a good note. We have to react. The team needs to
0:20:46 > 0:20:56rally itself. Rolled its Leeds -- sleeves up and get back to winning
0:20:56 > 0:21:05
0:21:05 > 0:21:08into a relegation battle. It will help Mick McCarthy feel better. As
0:21:08 > 0:21:13the Crystal Palace, a great comeback win against Charlton in
0:21:13 > 0:21:18the south London Derby. It looks like they need his victory to pick
0:21:18 > 0:21:24up momentum which they are in danger of losing? A could be one of
0:21:24 > 0:21:31the seminal moments of their season. Murray only scored a penalty in his
0:21:31 > 0:21:35last five. A great big game for the club and the players. Two important
0:21:35 > 0:21:42goals. You get the feeling it can turn things around and they can
0:21:42 > 0:21:47finish strong. Hopefully they can achieve what they want to achieve,
0:21:47 > 0:21:52which is either the play-offs automatic promotions. Kevin
0:21:52 > 0:21:58Phillips, on Thursday, Leicester continued their 100% start to 20
0:21:58 > 0:22:04their team. Or Wolves Wanderers, what about them? Dean Saunders
0:22:04 > 0:22:08needs to get them going? He does. He has only been there for four
0:22:08 > 0:22:16games. There were periods tonight they played very well. But they are
0:22:16 > 0:22:20not picking up points. He has come in at a difficult time. Not ideal
0:22:20 > 0:22:23circumstances to try and print your style of management on to a
0:22:23 > 0:22:32football club that is losing its football games it is not expecting
0:22:32 > 0:22:36too. They have to hold their nerve and get out of this situation.
0:22:36 > 0:22:46for the bottom of the table, Peterborough's preparation took a
0:22:46 > 0:23:04
0:23:04 > 0:23:14There has rarely been a dull moment since Darren Ferguson came in six
0:23:14 > 0:23:16
0:23:16 > 0:23:26years ago. Six promotions, sacked, reinstated, and other promotions.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27
0:23:27 > 0:23:30They have suspended four players for an unauthorised night out. In a
0:23:30 > 0:23:38season when 27 Football League clubs have changed their manager,
0:23:38 > 0:23:45including four of the bottom six, at London Road, all is very calm.
0:23:46 > 0:23:53With the form this season, have you ever lost face? Never. I have tried
0:23:53 > 0:23:57to key belief within the camp. I think we have done that. After
0:23:57 > 0:24:06seven defeats on the bounce, we have now done a right. I'm not
0:24:06 > 0:24:11panicking. We have done that before. Act in haste, repent at leisure. We
0:24:11 > 0:24:18won't do that again. We have employed their manager twice.
0:24:18 > 0:24:26a difficult lead. If you look at the managers that have gone the
0:24:26 > 0:24:31season, 12 or 13 out of the Championship. He is still the best
0:24:31 > 0:24:36manager. What is the point in changing? Keep the faith. It is a
0:24:36 > 0:24:43good marriage. Hopefully it or be a long marriage, and they will keep
0:24:43 > 0:24:48us up. I won't spend the rest of my managerial career as manager here.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52But I still have a job to do. I want to see it through his. I won't
0:24:52 > 0:25:02be content just to keep the team in the Championship. I want to have a
0:25:02 > 0:25:04
0:25:04 > 0:25:09chance of getting a team into the Premiership. With his contract set
0:25:09 > 0:25:14to expire in this summer, George Boyd's half-a-million move to the
0:25:14 > 0:25:18city ground was considered a formality into Nottingham Forest's
0:25:18 > 0:25:25owners decided an eye condition that had no impact on his career
0:25:25 > 0:25:30was enough to pull the plug. I bet he did not see that coming! They
0:25:30 > 0:25:33are telling us the deal was called off by the owner. We asked why and
0:25:33 > 0:25:40look for the evidence. And they told us about him having the
0:25:40 > 0:25:50problem with his eyes. We asked, is it conclusive? They said no. So why
0:25:50 > 0:25:52
0:25:53 > 0:25:59is the deal off? He is a great lad. It won't affect him. He is strong.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06He comes in and straight away, he is all over the dressing room. It
0:26:06 > 0:26:16is a good bit of banter. Will he play this afternoon? No question,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19
0:26:19 > 0:26:27transfer window was charlie Austin. Just a minute on the clock and it
0:26:27 > 0:26:33was goal number 24 of the season. The Burnley defence was less
0:26:33 > 0:26:39clinical in attempts to clear a corner. Peterborough equalised in
0:26:39 > 0:26:44the second half. It might take some individual brilliance to save Posh
0:26:44 > 0:26:51from relegation. So that goal to savour this time, with the
0:26:51 > 0:26:55midfielder doubling his tally to four that this season. Not enough
0:26:55 > 0:26:59for a much-needed win. You could hear the groans around London Road
0:26:59 > 0:27:04as Burnley fought back. The equaliser coming five minutes from
0:27:04 > 0:27:09time. Perseverance from Chris McCann and the finishing touch from

0:27:14 > 0:27:23Habib stoppage time header not brought a wonderful save from the
0:27:24 > 0:27:29
0:27:29 > 0:27:36goalkeeper. The two sides I cannot fault the performance in
0:27:36 > 0:27:42terms of the energy. It was against a good team. We do need wins at
0:27:42 > 0:27:49home. So it is disappointing. Peterborough denied a vital win at
0:27:49 > 0:27:54the end. What about this George Boyd situation? You have had a few
0:27:54 > 0:28:00medicals in your time? Have you ever had an eye test? That is a
0:28:00 > 0:28:04completely new one on me. I don't know where it has come from.
0:28:04 > 0:28:12must have been in the situation there when a move has collapsed at

0:28:16 > 0:28:23situation at you Football Club. He has been on loan at Nottingham
0:28:23 > 0:28:31Forest. George Boyd's name is linked with someone to leave the
0:28:31 > 0:28:35club. It is a massive let-down. He is always welcome back to
0:28:35 > 0:28:41Peterborough. But from his own sense of wanting to move to a
0:28:41 > 0:28:51bigger club. He wants to realise a personal ambition. A massive let-
0:28:51 > 0:28:51
0:28:51 > 0:28:55down. You have to feel for him. Last week's late win at Charlton
0:28:55 > 0:29:05saw Sheffield Wednesday continued their revival. Next up, a Brighton
0:29:05 > 0:29:21
0:29:21 > 0:29:30for the Sussex club who have never won a game at Hillsborough. They
0:29:30 > 0:29:35were in more trouble when Ashley Barnes lunged at Lee. Brighton
0:29:35 > 0:29:40manager Gus Poyet agreed that the card was justified. He was more
0:29:40 > 0:29:43annoyed at what happened at the free kick. It went straight in
0:29:43 > 0:29:47leaving the ten men with what seemed to be a hopeless task. It

0:29:53 > 0:29:57began in mid-December. Craig Mackail-Smith was introduced and
0:29:57 > 0:30:04had the were great to make up for the numerical disadvantage. Hope
0:30:05 > 0:30:09was restored for Brighton, but not for long. Michel Antonio restored
0:30:09 > 0:30:15the two-goal gap. Some of the Brighton players claimed there had
0:30:15 > 0:30:23been a foul on defender Inigo Calderon. The Spaniard was
0:30:23 > 0:30:31indisputably caught late by Pugh. That led to some heated exchanges
0:30:31 > 0:30:39on the sidelines. Despite that, Brighton had the unhappy his boss,
0:30:39 > 0:30:49post match, with the Wednesday manager playing down the argument.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53
0:30:53 > 0:30:57It is unusual for me. It is not a McLeish. For us's failure to land
0:30:57 > 0:31:04transfer targets so rumours of a rift at the City Ground. To make
0:31:04 > 0:31:08matters worse, one of those players undid them here. Forest had two
0:31:08 > 0:31:13beds and knock back for Chris Burke. Forest brought in Darius Henderson
0:31:13 > 0:31:18but he still looking for his first goal. Jack Buckland, destined for
0:31:18 > 0:31:21the bright lights of Stoke City, so to that. St Andrew's is the last
0:31:21 > 0:31:27then you Alex McLeish could expect to find some that it. The Blues are
0:31:27 > 0:31:30still bitter about his defection to Aston Villa. Players tend to rise
0:31:30 > 0:31:36above these things, although Chris Burke did look very pleased with
0:31:36 > 0:31:40his second goal. Birmingham held on to victory despite a late goal from
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Forest. Billy Sharp was brought down by Curtis Davies for an
0:31:44 > 0:31:49injury-time penalty. Billy Sharpe converted it, but it was scant
0:31:49 > 0:31:54consolation. Only one win in seven for Nottingham Forrest who need to
0:31:55 > 0:31:59find something to lift the gloom. We was it going to see Chris Burke
0:31:59 > 0:32:06scored both goals? You tried very hard to bring him to the City
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Ground this week. Listen, if you have they can come back to haunt
0:32:10 > 0:32:16you, and Chris Burke did that with two goals. He is a good player. We
0:32:16 > 0:32:20tried to get him and could not do it for one reason or another. We
0:32:20 > 0:32:29were priced out of the market a little bit. It was not to be. And
0:32:29 > 0:32:32well done, to Chris Burke. Mark Lewis's thought caretaker match in
0:32:32 > 0:32:37charge of Huddersfield to come to one of his old clubs, Derby County.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Fresh from an excellent victory over Crystal Palace. But he met his
0:32:42 > 0:32:46match against Derby County. The free kick the first hint of the
0:32:46 > 0:32:53Challenge to come. Alex Smithies played -- prove just about equal to
0:32:53 > 0:32:59it. Nigel Clough's men were clearly a minute. Insight 10 minutes Derby
0:32:59 > 0:33:09County increased their advantage with Conor Sammon working it wide
0:33:09 > 0:33:10
0:33:10 > 0:33:16to Gareth Roberts. He evaded Conor Sammon, but not Ward. When Sean
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Scannell was microsecond a centre was turned onto the post, he was my
0:33:19 > 0:33:29starting to get the feeling this should be another disappointing day
0:33:29 > 0:33:32
0:33:32 > 0:33:36for others. Richard Keogh Rubber- stamp Derby County's success.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41Huddersfield are still too close to the bottom three for comfort,
0:33:41 > 0:33:45especially as they face Cardiff City next. Derby County deserved
0:33:45 > 0:33:52their three points. Scored three goals and kept a clean sheet, so
0:33:52 > 0:33:56we're absolutely delighted. It was the Tour game in seven days, and we
0:33:56 > 0:34:06got the three points we needed against Crystal Palace, but today
0:34:06 > 0:34:08
0:34:08 > 0:34:12the transfer window without selling the family silver, but not even the
0:34:12 > 0:34:17presence of Tomkins could halt Barnsley's revival with Jim O'Brien
0:34:17 > 0:34:21opening the scoring for the visitors. There was no sign that
0:34:21 > 0:34:27Tom Ince was feeling sorry for himself after a proposed move to
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Liverpool and Reading failed to come off. He swept home Blackpool's
0:34:31 > 0:34:35equaliser after the break. That was as good as it got as a goalkeeper
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Matt Gilks lost his bearings when he dashed on the goal line, and got
0:34:40 > 0:34:44a red card for handling outside his penalty area. Blackpool, still
0:34:44 > 0:34:48looking for a permanent replacement for Michael Appleton almost went
0:34:48 > 0:34:53out 2-1 up as Matt Derbyshire rattled the crossbar, looking for
0:34:53 > 0:34:58his first goal since joining on loan from Nottingham Forest. But it
0:34:58 > 0:35:03was a new arrival in black and blue-settled the tie - Jason
0:35:03 > 0:35:09Scotland, spoke -- scoring his second successive game for Barnsley
0:35:09 > 0:35:15as David Flitcroft's side needed four games unbeaten. This would be
0:35:15 > 0:35:20a massive achievement if we could do that, so let's fight for every
0:35:20 > 0:35:30single blade of grass, every ounce, every sinew you have got to your
0:35:30 > 0:35:32
0:35:32 > 0:35:37goals past Bristol City this season the omens were good at Ewood Park.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Morton Gamst Pedersen came close to adding to that tally early on but
0:35:41 > 0:35:45the woodwork came to the rescue of the Robins. With Jordan Rhodes in
0:35:45 > 0:35:48their ranks, Blackburn Rovers have a reliable source of goals. The
0:35:48 > 0:35:53first of his match-winning brace came just before the half hour. It
0:35:53 > 0:35:57demonstrated his eye for goal. That was something Bristol City lack
0:35:57 > 0:36:01although they were this was sold for the best bit of football of the
0:36:01 > 0:36:06first half, but Davies could not make the most of it. The Robbins
0:36:06 > 0:36:11created chances but had no one to pick them away. Marvin Elliott
0:36:11 > 0:36:15threw himself at a cross, but it was easy for the goalkeeper. If
0:36:15 > 0:36:23only they had Jordan Rhodes, has 24th for club and country this
0:36:23 > 0:36:33season. There was a touch of Alicia about it. It what -- it was his 100
0:36:33 > 0:36:35
0:36:35 > 0:36:44Career goal. That �8 million is you want to win games, and we did
0:36:44 > 0:36:47that today. And they have just won their last two games. We were
0:36:47 > 0:36:52quietly confident at half-time that we could get back into it. We did
0:36:52 > 0:36:59not want to throw caution to the wind. We wanted to stay solid and
0:36:59 > 0:37:09compact. And put them under pressure. But the second goal undid
0:37:09 > 0:37:11
0:37:11 > 0:37:15us. The 100 League goal of Jordan Rhodes' Korea. That is a bitter
0:37:15 > 0:37:23pill to swallow for Alex McLeish. He has had a lot to contend with in
0:37:23 > 0:37:28a short space of time at Nottingham Why try and fix something that
0:37:28 > 0:37:33isn't broken? He has taken over at a time when people are wondering
0:37:33 > 0:37:37where the change had to be made. It has not been an auspicious start.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43Chris Burke, who he tried to sign on deadline day, along with a
0:37:43 > 0:37:51couple of others, and it did not come off. To the management and the
0:37:52 > 0:37:55people above him, are they working in tandem, at this stage? They did
0:37:55 > 0:38:00not sign anyone on a transfer deadline day. It seems there is a
0:38:00 > 0:38:04lack of communication there, somewhere. They might have got to
0:38:04 > 0:38:09try and put across the right image. And what is going on in the
0:38:09 > 0:38:16boardroom... It has happened so quickly. People are thinking, why
0:38:16 > 0:38:21have these changes been made? Lots of it at this stage, to a lot of
0:38:21 > 0:38:25people, has not make complete sense. Derby County with a good victory
0:38:25 > 0:38:32against Huddersfield, 3-0. Huddersfield are dropping down the
0:38:32 > 0:38:36table quickly, 14 games without a win. They desperately need some
0:38:36 > 0:38:42readership and need to get someone in the dug-out quickly. It is not
0:38:42 > 0:38:47an easy job. Particularly coming in at this stage. You would expect a
0:38:47 > 0:38:52club that has lost so many games in a short space of time to be one of
0:38:52 > 0:38:59the clubs that faces a drop. One or two of them at the bottom are
0:38:59 > 0:39:06picking up points. They might have got to be really careful. Injuries
0:39:06 > 0:39:09are mounting up, too, for the Terriers. Right, to League One then,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12and a dramatic 48 hours for Swindon Town. No sooner had they announced
0:39:12 > 0:39:15talks were ongoing with potential new owners, Paulo Di Canio revealed
0:39:15 > 0:39:22he was considering his future after seeing one of his star players sold
0:39:22 > 0:39:27behind his back. It was hardly ideal preparation for the 3rd
0:39:27 > 0:39:33placed Robins, away to promotion rivals Crawley in Saturday's late
0:39:33 > 0:39:36made 3 changes which included full debuts for Mustapha Dumbuya and
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Jamie Proctor. While Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio also made 3
0:39:38 > 0:39:41changes, as Jay McEveley, Aden Flint and Gary Roberts all started.
0:39:41 > 0:39:51Dan O Hagan was watching this one. The first corner kick of the game
0:39:51 > 0:39:55
0:39:55 > 0:40:01for Tommy Miller. Flint's header falls loose. Fine save. There was a
0:40:01 > 0:40:11real opportunity for Swindon Town to go in front. Jim Collins with
0:40:11 > 0:40:21
0:40:21 > 0:40:31the strike which brought the best There goes Adams. He checks, and
0:40:31 > 0:40:32
0:40:32 > 0:40:40that is a penalty. The tackle on Micky Adams from more comic. A
0:40:40 > 0:40:46chance now to breached that tight Swindon defence. Billy Clarke, from
0:40:46 > 0:40:54the spot, six League goals this season. Swindon with 15 clean
0:40:54 > 0:41:04sheets, the best in any of the divisions this season. Billy Clark
0:41:04 > 0:41:12
0:41:12 > 0:41:16scores. He went for force and power, down the middle. Clarke, In a fine
0:41:16 > 0:41:18run of form this season. He went for sure, brute force down the
0:41:18 > 0:41:28middle of the goal with the goalkeeper committed, going the
0:41:28 > 0:41:40
0:41:40 > 0:41:50The deflection behind for a corner kick. George Simpson, with a
0:41:50 > 0:41:59
0:41:59 > 0:42:09glimpse of goal. Good block for the Proctor on his debut, and a really
0:42:09 > 0:42:32
0:42:32 > 0:42:37good save. It was a great save by with a snapshot that to go real
0:42:37 > 0:42:47deflection on the way through. -- it made the goalkeeper's job much
0:42:47 > 0:42:49
0:42:49 > 0:42:57harder. Then the cell from a comic, and the referee says penalty. --
0:42:57 > 0:43:07the missile from McCormack. Joe Walsh has done enough to concede
0:43:07 > 0:43:14again's second penalty. Adam Rooney, from the spot, and he scores, too.
0:43:14 > 0:43:24Two spot-kicks exchanged, now a. And Poll de Canio's men are level
0:43:24 > 0:43:42
0:43:42 > 0:43:48McCormack. What a save. Adam Rooney, kept out by Paul Jones with a
0:43:48 > 0:43:52magnificent stop. That is sensational. It is a lovely cross.
0:43:52 > 0:43:59And the header draws a brilliant save, no other work for it, from
0:43:59 > 0:44:04Paul Jones. I thought that the draw was probably a fair result. I was
0:44:04 > 0:44:11disappointed having taken the lead from a slightly soft penalty,
0:44:11 > 0:44:17although there was not a great deal of football played, that was a good
0:44:17 > 0:44:27game. The fans have been singing your name and want to stay. I am
0:44:27 > 0:44:36very happy for them. I want performances like that in terms of
0:44:36 > 0:44:46character and commitment and desire. But today was all about character.
0:44:46 > 0:44:56
0:44:56 > 0:45:01They showed me. And I am more than couple of incidences in the penalty
0:45:01 > 0:45:07area, did the referee get them right? There is an element of
0:45:07 > 0:45:14contact, or that I think Adams might be going to ground anyway.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19The second one, coming up. Rooney. He loses his balance almost and
0:45:19 > 0:45:25goes to ground. He is not even appealing for a penalty. Just the
0:45:25 > 0:45:33slightest of touches, no, it is not a penalty. This is the referee who
0:45:33 > 0:45:43has given 12 penalties in 24 games. We saw Paolo di Canio not been
0:45:43 > 0:45:44
0:45:44 > 0:45:47A more conciliatory attitude in the interview. He has done a wonderful
0:45:47 > 0:45:53job but they are spending too much money. You cannot keep losing that
0:45:53 > 0:46:02amount of money. As the club knows, the club's future is at stake if
0:46:02 > 0:46:07they continue down this route. Communication levels certainly have
0:46:07 > 0:46:12to be better, but the club needs to go down a different route, it
0:46:12 > 0:46:22cannot continue to be subsidised as it has been. Things have to change,
0:46:22 > 0:46:43
0:46:43 > 0:46:48the future of the club is more for a place in a top-six finish.
0:46:48 > 0:46:56They should have taken an early lead over Sheffield United. End it
0:46:56 > 0:47:03got busy again around the box, this centre was snapped up by a Clark. A
0:47:03 > 0:47:13smart acquisitions at the turn of the air. United lost Blackman to
0:47:13 > 0:47:14
0:47:14 > 0:47:20Reading. But the evening took a turn for the worse, and this
0:47:20 > 0:47:24mistake was seized upon. The shot was parried to Clark, his 5th goal
0:47:24 > 0:47:29in six appearances. The first half was as good as it
0:47:29 > 0:47:38could get. The second half, we got pinned back a bit as you would
0:47:38 > 0:47:48expect. The wind got up, it was difficult to get a foothold.
0:47:48 > 0:47:48
0:47:48 > 0:47:56Thankfully, we managed a breakaway. Tranmere seemed to have recovered
0:47:56 > 0:48:01their rock solid reliability. But they found trouble here when Akpa
0:48:01 > 0:48:05Akpro took exception and Rovers found themselves down to ten men
0:48:05 > 0:48:15for the first time this season. Moore had no complaints about the
0:48:15 > 0:48:16
0:48:16 > 0:48:20red card, and the absence of Akpa Akpro proved costly. Despite their
0:48:20 > 0:48:25numerical advantage, they had to work hard for what turned out to be
0:48:25 > 0:48:33their first clean sheet away this season. Gillespie got a fingertip
0:48:33 > 0:48:38to this header. Tranmere eventually found away past him, and these
0:48:38 > 0:48:45celebrations were cut short by the assistant. Overall, a real shock to
0:48:45 > 0:48:51the leaders. One of the shocks of the day in
0:48:51 > 0:48:59League 1 as Bishop headed his team to their first win in 13 games. 11
0:48:59 > 0:49:05minutes later, the side were 2-0 it up, Ajose claiming his first goal
0:49:05 > 0:49:15since starting a second loan period. Doncaster or might have even
0:49:15 > 0:49:25considered a third, had it not been for the keeper. A first home win
0:49:25 > 0:49:49
0:49:49 > 0:49:53league win at this level. This clearance bouncing favourably.
0:49:53 > 0:50:00Watch out for the perfect way to celebrate a century of appearances
0:50:00 > 0:50:07for your club, before half-time, Upson brought up his 100 with a
0:50:07 > 0:50:17screamer. Jean-Eric Vergne has been -- Byrne has been instrumental in
0:50:17 > 0:50:22
0:50:22 > 0:50:30the form of his club. Volleying wobble, but Bournemouth catalyse?
0:50:30 > 0:50:34They have stormed up from 20th, so gifts like this for Grabban aren't
0:50:34 > 0:50:39usually necessary. MK Dons are heading in the opposite direction
0:50:39 > 0:50:44and caused themselves more problems again. Lowest macro did not
0:50:44 > 0:50:48appreciate the attention he was being played by the visiting
0:50:48 > 0:50:52captain and the resentment clearly lingered. His subsequent decision
0:50:52 > 0:51:02to go in late and high on the same player was only going to result in
0:51:02 > 0:51:09one outcome. Lowest macro was quick to issue a post-match apology. --
0:51:09 > 0:51:17Lowe. His manager wouldn't have been too impressed as Bournemouth
0:51:17 > 0:51:25took full advantage in injury time. This block was gobbled up by a Pugh.
0:51:25 > 0:51:32The ten men did have a go in the second half. Williams was
0:51:32 > 0:51:36unfortunate. The assistant spotting an offside. The signing of Richey
0:51:36 > 0:51:46from Swindon this week was a clear statement of intent from
0:51:46 > 0:51:57
0:51:57 > 0:52:01Bournemouth, matched by the quality pivotal moment. But we had already
0:52:01 > 0:52:05scored and I was really pleased with the players today.
0:52:05 > 0:52:11Hartlepool have provided easy pickings for all comers on their
0:52:11 > 0:52:20own turf. The invigorating effect of last week's win at Portsmouth
0:52:20 > 0:52:25was of his in this sweeping move. How about that? An early shock for
0:52:25 > 0:52:35the promotion chases. They pull themselves together after the break
0:52:35 > 0:52:38
0:52:38 > 0:52:45and drew level when Campbell-Ryce week his weight in. -- weaved his
0:52:45 > 0:52:55way in. Hartley popped up with a header which proved decisive. A
0:52:55 > 0:53:06
0:53:06 > 0:53:11shocked Liverpool, they badly needed another winner. But Walsall
0:53:11 > 0:53:19have been living up the table and went into the mood to be charitable,
0:53:19 > 0:53:28Baxendale squeezing in a -- an equaliser. Champagne for Old Firm
0:53:28 > 0:53:35last weekend, Brandy for Walsall. In the second half, Pattison made a
0:53:35 > 0:53:41wonderful solo goal, moving to I 5th win in six league games. In
0:53:41 > 0:53:50stoppage time, the Oldham keeper handed possession away, and another

0:53:58 > 0:54:07Unbeaten since New Year, Scunthorpe had problems getting away from
0:54:07 > 0:54:12trouble. Then, a decision described as soft by the scumble and a job
0:54:12 > 0:54:22which cost his side the game. Murphy presented with the chance of
0:54:22 > 0:54:46
0:54:46 > 0:54:52over the 90 minutes, with some fine saves ensuring the wayside left
0:54:52 > 0:54:56with all of the points for a 4th time in a row. We got off to a
0:54:57 > 0:55:03really good start, the perfect start, it gave us something to hang
0:55:03 > 0:55:09on to. We remained created all the way through.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13One moment lit up a lacklustre first half, a terrific strike from
0:55:13 > 0:55:18Beavon just before the break. Something positive to talk about
0:55:18 > 0:55:28during the interval. Preston have gone 10 League games without
0:55:28 > 0:55:32
0:55:32 > 0:55:40winning. That depressing run was about to be stretched. As the match
0:55:40 > 0:55:50moved into stoppage time, Davies gave way to this penalty. The

0:55:52 > 0:55:57Shrewsbury skipper clinched a last- with something to lift the gloom

0:56:01 > 0:56:08middle of the month. The prospect of a second successive relegation.
0:56:08 > 0:56:16Only more misery, their team was down after 10 minutes. At least
0:56:16 > 0:56:22there was a bit of artistry to admire. This equaliser. One step
0:56:22 > 0:56:31forward, two back, for Portsmouth, hit with six straight defeats going
0:56:31 > 0:56:38into this game. Up stepped the former West Ham striker to score in

0:56:48 > 0:56:53
0:56:53 > 0:56:59nine straight defeats, Colchester break and poured another back. But
0:56:59 > 0:57:09it was not enough to prevent a defeat keeping Portsmouth 1 up from

0:57:58 > 0:58:04long time, four months. You would say, they have been strong at home.
0:58:04 > 0:58:13There will be people wondering what has gone wrong. Thinking back to
0:58:13 > 0:58:19his Stevenage days. They can't win for love nor money. What a result
0:58:19 > 0:58:24for Yeovil against Brentford. Particularly when you consider
0:58:24 > 0:58:31these surface that game was played on. I saw them earlier in the
0:58:31 > 0:58:41season. And against West Bromwich. They were fantastic then. I thought
0:58:41 > 0:58:45
0:58:45 > 0:58:50this could be their year. They could see this through all the way.
0:58:50 > 0:58:58They have won their last five. That is a result a lot of people will
0:58:58 > 0:59:06have a look at, a fantastic result. Madden, they have got themselves a

0:59:13 > 0:59:16revival since John Ward's return to the club last month. On Friday
0:59:16 > 0:59:26night, the Pirates welcomed another team fighting for their Football

0:59:44 > 0:59:47were looking for their third victory in a row. This piece of
0:59:47 > 0:59:52composed finishing happen with 11 minutes to go. The Pirates but
0:59:53 > 0:59:58things the hard way. Barnett levelled when Harry Crawford scored
0:59:58 > 1:00:04his first goal for the Bees in the 90th minute. Incredibly, there was
1:00:04 > 1:00:09still time for Rovers' winner. It came two minutes into stoppage time.
1:00:09 > 1:00:13Ryan Brunt, another new signing, scoring on his home debut and

1:00:26 > 1:00:28was shaking his head as to how his side lost to Accrington in August,
1:00:28 > 1:00:32but his opposite number Liam Richardson was nonplussed by the
1:00:32 > 1:00:38decision to show Charlie Barnett a straight red card. Micky Adams
1:00:38 > 1:00:43nodded approval in the second path as two home debutants secured the
1:00:43 > 1:00:50points. Lee Hughes with his trademark celebration. Minutes
1:00:50 > 1:00:58later, the free kick from Ryan Borges fell for Darren Purse. He
1:00:58 > 1:01:04can't, as first of the campaign. Hughes then grabbed his grace. The
1:01:04 > 1:01:10precision pass from Richard Duffy, and an afternoon in which top
1:01:10 > 1:01:13scorer, Tom Pope, was for once not the star of the show. It was
1:01:14 > 1:01:19frustrating. In the second half we needed that goal to open the gates,
1:01:19 > 1:01:27to be fair. We got two goals and three points, that is the main
1:01:27 > 1:01:31thing. The value of the loan market was highlighted all round at King's
1:01:31 > 1:01:34Medal. Gary Alexander had not scored for Crawley in the League
1:01:34 > 1:01:39since December but took half-an- hour to impress at Wimbledon.
1:01:39 > 1:01:43Burton Albion had been busy in the transfer window and Michael Symes,
1:01:43 > 1:01:47bought from Leyton Orient, restored parity. It was his first League
1:01:47 > 1:01:53goal since the opening day of the season and it owed a great deal to
1:01:53 > 1:01:58those supposedly marking him. Burton Albion started the day in
1:01:58 > 1:02:02the automatic promotion places, but Zander Diamond harmed their hopes
1:02:02 > 1:02:07of staying there by doing something off-camera. Wimbledon failed to
1:02:07 > 1:02:12make the most of playing ten-man. A missed opportunity according to
1:02:12 > 1:02:22their manager, Neal Ardley. Harry Pell almost made it five debut
1:02:22 > 1:02:22
1:02:22 > 1:02:27goals, but they remain 92nd out of 92. By shortly after this, we
1:02:27 > 1:02:32witnessed a tremendous hat-trick. Not that type of hat-trick, this
1:02:32 > 1:02:37type of hat-trick. There was a touch of a vaudeville about
1:02:37 > 1:02:45Rotherham's penalty. It was built that the ball from Ben Harding had
1:02:45 > 1:02:51been theatrical. Aidy Boothroyd said he thought it was a penalty.
1:02:51 > 1:02:56Nardiello scored the penalty. It was a good time to get it.

1:03:20 > 1:03:25second goal in as many games, not bad for his first start in five
1:03:25 > 1:03:32months. There was not much for Northampton to celebrate, but
1:03:32 > 1:03:36Clarke Carlisle earned the Cobblers a last-minute consolation. Exeter
1:03:37 > 1:03:46boss Paul Tisdale felt his side were up against a tough Aldershot
1:03:47 > 1:03:48
1:03:48 > 1:03:53team and the sun. Hall almost opened the scoring. Jamie Cureton

1:04:05 > 1:04:14won it after the break. A good 0.4 Aldershot, plus Exeter failed to
1:04:14 > 1:04:19draw upon home comforts. Children started the day without a victory
1:04:19 > 1:04:22in 2013, but Keith Lowe quickly started putting that right.
1:04:22 > 1:04:27Regulars at Whaddon Road will not have been taking the prospect of
1:04:27 > 1:04:31three points for granted because of their team's regular habit of

1:05:15 > 1:05:19have. It was a good three points. Luke McCormick make his Oxford

1:05:38 > 1:05:42League 2 ground that has seen fewer goals than any other, James
1:05:42 > 1:05:47Constable also connected with the woodwork. For the Southend boss,
1:05:47 > 1:05:50Paul Sturrock, who made the decisive intervention with a double
1:05:50 > 1:05:56substitution on 81 minutes. He introduced Ben Rees, his loan
1:05:56 > 1:06:04signing from Southampton, and Ryan Leonard, the 20 Road, who
1:06:04 > 1:06:07celebrated the decisive goal. -- 20-year-old. Bradford captain Gary
1:06:07 > 1:06:12Jones admitted the League Cup finalists have been distracted by

1:06:19 > 1:06:23when Matthew Wells blasted home a free kick just before half-time.
1:06:23 > 1:06:28Shortly after they went in front in some style. Ryan Dixon, on loan
1:06:28 > 1:06:33from Southampton gallop away, before calmly slotting home his
1:06:33 > 1:06:37first for the club. Bantams manager Phil Parkinson thought his side had
1:06:37 > 1:06:44been robbed of their first league victory in five games. He felt the
1:06:44 > 1:06:47decision to award a penalty was harsh when the ball struck James
1:06:47 > 1:06:52Hanson's arm from point-blank range. Jon Parkin was given the chance to
1:06:52 > 1:06:58share the spoils, and keeper at Matt Duke, the you're so many
1:06:58 > 1:07:02penalty shoot-outs, was inches away from being so again. They and a

1:07:12 > 1:07:13
1:07:13 > 1:07:18with that. The referee has cost us today. Chesterfield were out to
1:07:18 > 1:07:22spoil Wasdale manager Keith Hill's happy homecoming. O'Shea with the
1:07:22 > 1:07:27spectacular effort. An unwanted team of Chesterfield's season has
1:07:27 > 1:07:33been wistfulness in front of goal, but O'Shea is trying to change that
1:07:33 > 1:07:39with his third in four games. Like so many parties, things started
1:07:39 > 1:07:43well and ended badly and so it proved for Bobby Grant. That

1:07:48 > 1:07:55straight red card for that lunch it on Mark Togwell with four minutes
1:07:55 > 1:07:59of time remaining. But there was further late drama. Chesterfield's
1:07:59 > 1:08:04penalty claims were with the way by the referee for the challenge on
1:08:04 > 1:08:10Ridgers. Chesterfield remain the only team in the Football League

1:09:38 > 1:09:42total to 10 goals and sealed an emphatic victory. The recently
