:00:41. > :00:47.Hello there. After the excitement in the fourth round of the League
:00:47. > :00:51.Cup the NPower Championship takes centre stage, four managers make
:00:51. > :00:58.their debuts with a fifth waiting in the wins after Ian Holloway has
:00:58. > :01:04.been confirmed as the new manager of Crystal Palace. I'm at vicarage
:01:04. > :01:07.Road. Here's what else we have for you tonight. With Blackpool at sea
:01:07. > :01:17.after the sudden departure of their manager, how will they fair against
:01:17. > :01:27.a Derby side looking to get their season back on track? The lack of
:01:27. > :01:34.
:01:35. > :01:44.goals are frustrating the boss of the Seagulls? Cardiff arrived at
:01:45. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:55.the Reebok. Dougie Freedman's attempts to bring his right hang
:01:55. > :01:57.man here proved successful. As for the team news. Freedman made four
:01:58. > :02:07.the team news. Freedman made four changes to the team which lost last
:02:08. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:17.week. Cardiff are unchanged after last week's 4-0 win against Burnley.
:02:17. > :02:22.Commentary, Andy Clarke. COMMENTATOR: That is a good ball. A
:02:22. > :02:32.push in the back from Connolly. The referee decides there wasn't. He
:02:32. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:44.has let a lot go, Tony Bates, no bad thing. They were shoulder to
:02:44. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:53.shoulder. That is what the referee decided. Whittingham. Digs it in
:02:54. > :02:57.first time. Defensive header from Zach Knight. It went straight
:02:57. > :03:05.through. It went straight through the goalkeeper. That is the second
:03:05. > :03:11.goal, in a couple of games, for Masson. Whittingham with the ball
:03:11. > :03:15.in. Noone with the final strike. The goalkeeper unsighted it is a
:03:15. > :03:25.goes straight through Warnock. He tries to get a hand down to his
:03:25. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:34.left hand side. He takes the shot. It dips just wide of the bottom
:03:34. > :03:44.left hand corner. The goalkeeper, with arms out stretched, he was
:03:44. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:49.confident it was never going to find the back of his net. Eagles
:03:49. > :03:53.takes the shot. It was moving. Marshall couldn't take any chances.
:03:53. > :04:03.That is twice now he has been forced into action, the Cardiff
:04:03. > :04:12.
:04:12. > :04:21.keeper, he wasn't at all in the first half. He's found the back of
:04:21. > :04:31.the net. The flag is up. It was a great finish, from such a tight
:04:31. > :04:36.angle. He's onside, isn't he? He's onside. The flag goes up
:04:36. > :04:46.straightaway. Nearly, so nearly, immediate impact from a
:04:46. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :04:59.substitution made by Dougie Freedman. Davis. Lee. Well saved by
:04:59. > :05:09.Marshall. Really got the hit away quickly there. Really didn't close
:05:09. > :05:13.
:05:13. > :05:17.him down or get close enough to him. Petrov, that was off the line. The
:05:17. > :05:26.referee points to the penalty spot. There was a coming together on the
:05:26. > :05:36.right hand side of the penalty area. Tony Bates had no doubt about this.
:05:36. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:43.He does make contact with Ngog. Petrov, cool, calm and collected.
:05:43. > :05:52.He finds the bottom left hand corner. Bolton, back on level terms.
:05:52. > :05:56.Long ball forward from Mills who is looking for Eagles. Tries to find
:05:56. > :06:02.Petrov. It wouldn't fall quickly enough. Davis, to the by-line. Back
:06:02. > :06:06.across the face of goal. That was so close. It wriggles through. This
:06:06. > :06:11.time it does find the bottom left hand corner. It went through. A
:06:11. > :06:15.cluster of players. It doesn't matter if you are a Bolton fan who
:06:16. > :06:19.got it, the end result is the same. Bolton have turned this game on its
:06:19. > :06:25.head in the last few minutes. The No 9 has been at the centre of
:06:25. > :06:35.almost all of it. Petrov with a good early ball forward in towards
:06:35. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:43.Ngog. Lays it off for Davies. A good save from Marshall, he's
:06:43. > :06:51.kept his team in there. Unsighted. Had to get down quickly, low to his
:06:51. > :06:56.left hand side. Ngog, unbelievibly, is being sent off. That is his
:06:56. > :07:03.second yellow card in a matter of a few minutes after coming on as a
:07:03. > :07:08.substitute. Such a rash challenge. They all appeal for a penalty after
:07:08. > :07:15.Hudson goes down inside the box. He can't believe it hasn't been given.
:07:15. > :07:23.Warnock is making the challenge. It is very, very clumsy. The keeper's
:07:23. > :07:27.up as well. Everybody's in the box. Whittingham goes far with this.
:07:27. > :07:32.Mills is jumping. The goalkeeper might have a chance. He lifts it
:07:32. > :07:35.over the bar. There must have been a deflection in there, there must
:07:35. > :07:42.a deflection in there, there must have been. He got the shot away.
:07:42. > :07:47.Considering the way we played today I think I've got to look at it and
:07:47. > :07:50.see that decisions changed games. The referee makes a decision on the
:07:51. > :07:55.penalty that gets them back into the game, when they weren't at that
:07:55. > :08:02.point. He doesn't givelet decision on Mark Hudson. You give both or
:08:02. > :08:09.none. It's a game of opinions, before, after, during. Look at the
:08:09. > :08:14.TV re-play. It will show you we and they could have had a couple of
:08:14. > :08:18.goals. I thought the tempo was important to the way he played. I
:08:18. > :08:23.think the referee did well to keep that tempo up. That is football for
:08:23. > :08:28.you. The perfect start for at Bolton. At the start of play,
:08:28. > :08:35.behind Cardiff in the Championship table of Leicester City who
:08:35. > :08:41.suffered their first defeat in eight last week. Earlier today the
:08:41. > :08:44.Foxes took on a Watford side who had stuttered with three defeats in
:08:44. > :08:52.had stuttered with three defeats in four.
:08:52. > :09:02.COMMENTATOR: Watford got off to a a superstar against the promotion
:09:02. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:20.chasers. Abdi got the first goal. Midway through the second-half
:09:20. > :09:23.
:09:23. > :09:27.Watford won themselves breathing space. Forestieri doubled the
:09:27. > :09:37.Hornet's lead. They were glad of the two goal cushion. Nugent kept
:09:37. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:47.Leicester in contention. Their urgency was in vain. Whitbread sent
:09:47. > :09:51.this player sprawling. The referee wasn't in the mood for forgiveness.
:09:51. > :10:01.The second booking and dismissal left Leicester a man light and
:10:01. > :10:06.sealed those back-to-back defeats. Tony Mowbray was playing for
:10:06. > :10:09.Middlesbrough the last time they started a season this well. The
:10:09. > :10:16.capital one quarter-finalists are second in the Championship. It's
:10:16. > :10:20.their best league start since 1986. Victory at The Valley was briefly
:10:20. > :10:25.in doubt. Hulse gave Charlton a lead. Middlesbrough were back on
:10:26. > :10:35.level terms before the half-hour. Woodgate got the equalliser. His
:10:36. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:46.first ever goal for the club in two separate spells. Men Morison gave
:10:46. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :11:04.the ball he released this assault on the goal. Charlton fell
:11:04. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:22.aParliament. Middlesbrough could have had any number of goals
:11:22. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:28.Smallwood wrapped up an impressive performance. People who do their
:11:28. > :11:32.jobs, defenders who defend, midfield players who can win the
:11:32. > :11:37.ball back and goalscorers who put it in the net when the chances come.
:11:37. > :11:47.They asked a lot of questions to us in the first hour much we stood up
:11:47. > :11:47.
:11:47. > :11:57.to it and got our reward in the end. Crystal Palace had taken 17 points
:11:57. > :12:01.
:12:01. > :12:08.from the last 21. Palace have been enjoying the best of the first half.
:12:08. > :12:16.From this cross, Glenn Murray's goal sent them to the dressing room
:12:16. > :12:21.in front. While Blackpool fans are confused by his departure, Palace
:12:21. > :12:28.were delighted to see them. Grant Hanley tangled with Murray. The
:12:28. > :12:33.striker used the opportunity to take his tally into the double
:12:33. > :12:42.figures. Murray really should have had a hat-trick hesm was put on-
:12:42. > :12:52.the-spot again -- he was put on- the-spot after this clip. Rovers
:12:52. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :12:57.will think justice was done when he lost out on this shot. The bar
:12:57. > :13:01.deniedBerg. Holloway will relish the prospect of leading Palace
:13:02. > :13:05.against Ipswich on Tuesday. Great he's in. He will be happy with what
:13:05. > :13:10.he is going to inherit, when you look at that today. Long may it
:13:10. > :13:14.continue for the guys. There is a lot to work on in terms of our
:13:14. > :13:18.defensive play. Most of all, what we did with the ball. We gave the
:13:18. > :13:26.ball away too many times today. It's difficult to build attacks
:13:26. > :13:33.when we give the ball away that easy. This Yorkshire Derby was the
:13:33. > :13:40.start of a big week for Hull. It's an opportunity to prove their
:13:40. > :13:50.promotion credentials. John Stones found Aluko who got his fifth goal
:13:50. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:03.of the season. Luke Steele was back. He prevented a lop sided scoreline.
:14:03. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:10.Steele also kept out this header. This shot was the best effort they
:14:10. > :14:17.had all afternoon. Hull weren't at their best. It's four wins out of
:14:17. > :14:27.Fife for the Tigers, for whom Jay Simpson was also denied. As for
:14:27. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:36.Barnsley, well let's leave the Some of your thoughts? We got beat.
:14:36. > :14:44.I am delighted. We have not played as well as we have done in recent
:14:44. > :14:48.weeks, but we got the result which is important. They are an excellent
:14:48. > :14:53.side. They were better than us in the first half and put us under a
:14:53. > :14:58.lot of pressure. We gave the ball away too easily at times. In the
:14:58. > :15:08.second half, I thought we were the better team, but without a cutting
:15:08. > :15:12.
:15:12. > :15:17.last time out. Liam Trotter upset the city Ground. Nottingham Forest
:15:17. > :15:22.fans have not seen their side lose at all last month, so it was no
:15:22. > :15:29.great surprise when Liam Trotter's personal tally of three goals in
:15:29. > :15:39.the last four games was matched by Billy Sharp. Millwall also went
:15:39. > :15:45.through October unbeaten. James Henry's free kick was perfect.
:15:45. > :15:50.Strike partner, Chris Ward helped with the celebrations. Everything
:15:50. > :15:57.is going in for him at the moment. And Danny Collins touched only
:15:57. > :16:01.helped it into the net. For the first time all season, Millwall was
:16:01. > :16:11.set for back-to-back victories with another deflection working in their
:16:11. > :16:14.
:16:14. > :16:18.We are putting a nice run together. But when you talk about it and
:16:18. > :16:26.thinking that you have cracked it, that's when it goes wrong. We have
:16:26. > :16:35.a tough game at Watford on Tuesday. Let's hear from a very happy as
:16:35. > :16:42.Gianfranco Zola. A very good performance. Against one of the
:16:42. > :16:49.best sides. We started very well. The first 30 minutes we were
:16:49. > :16:56.playing well. Played excellent football, I thought. They came back
:16:56. > :17:03.very strong. They created some chances and gave us some problems.
:17:03. > :17:10.Nigel, back-to-back defeats, one win in four, what can you put this
:17:10. > :17:15.down to? It is the second game on the trot we have not had enough
:17:15. > :17:20.players playing as well as they have been playing previously. It is
:17:20. > :17:29.a disappointment, because we have worked very hard to make inroads
:17:29. > :17:34.and over the last two games, we have not done enough in those games.
:17:34. > :17:38.The players are disappointed with their performance levels. But I
:17:38. > :17:43.know we will bounce back because I have the same players who will get
:17:43. > :17:53.us up and running again. Let's focus on another side from the East
:17:53. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :18:04.Midlands, Derby County took on black Bernd -- Blackpool, who are
:18:04. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:13.reeling since the departure of Ian favourites get on without the man
:18:13. > :18:18.who guided them to the Premier League two years ago? Derby
:18:18. > :18:28.suffered their first defeat in six at Peterborough. He makes two
:18:28. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:41.changes to the side who succumbed Thompson has stepped up to take
:18:41. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :19:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:19:23. > :19:27.started very well. That goal is in keeping with the first 11.5 minutes.
:19:27. > :19:33.There was nothing there goalkeeper could do this time. The post Ian
:19:33. > :19:43.Holloway Era has since begun as Blackpool's German and owners would
:19:43. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:23.from a Derby error that Sammon County. This time it was Craig
:20:23. > :20:29.Bryson who forced the goalkeeper into the save. He has not have long
:20:29. > :20:33.to prepare in the aftermath of the departure of the manager, Ian
:20:33. > :20:38.Holloway. Steve Thompson can be forgiven if things are not quite as
:20:38. > :20:43.he would like them at the moment. Derby have not won any of their
:20:43. > :20:49.last three home games. Have started well enough today to improve that
:20:49. > :20:59.record. Two draws and one defeat in their last three outings here. They
:20:59. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:27.A great effort and turned in. John Brayford is such a rare scorer, I
:21:27. > :21:32.had to make sure it was Tim! His only Derby County goal came in
:21:32. > :21:42.October 2010, you wouldn't have guessed it from this. Look at that
:21:42. > :21:50.
:21:50. > :21:59.for a finish. It is exquisite from attacking skill and prowess within
:21:59. > :22:05.the Blackpool ranks. It is a penalty. Handball. Blackpool have
:22:05. > :22:12.their lifeline. He was claiming handball, Phillips. There are hands

:22:42. > :22:48.The crowd are blowing. It is symptomatic of their feelings. Paul
:22:48. > :22:56.Ince keeps his emotions in check. The goalkeeper did get a piece of
:22:56. > :23:06.it, but could not stop the ball going into the net. Blackpool can
:23:06. > :23:20.
:23:20. > :23:27.individual goal. Within a matter of minutes, Derby have built up and
:23:27. > :23:34.they're two goal lead again. Theo Robinson has moved himself on to
:23:34. > :23:39.seven goals for this season and is on a hat-trick today. It was a Paul
:23:39. > :23:49.bought bash macro poor ball by Martinez. Robinson still have
:23:49. > :24:04.
:24:04. > :24:14.plenty of work to do. The work he won't end at 3-1 of the way this
:24:14. > :24:34.
:24:34. > :24:42.they have won! Sammon could not miss. It is only his second goal
:24:42. > :24:48.since he joined from Wigan Athletic. Surely now this game is won. His
:24:48. > :24:54.previous goal was in the first week of September. His second for Derby
:24:54. > :24:59.in the first week of November. Robinson involved, Paul Coutts so

:25:18. > :25:22.It was probably the most complete performance. Apart from the first
:25:22. > :25:27.minute, but right through the game I thought we deserved the three
:25:27. > :25:33.points. Great result with a great performance. As good as you have
:25:33. > :25:39.ever score? I don't know about that, it is nice to get one. It is about
:25:39. > :25:43.the overall team performance. It is nice to play in a team when you

:25:54. > :26:01.had gone, the team had been named. We had to gather them today and
:26:01. > :26:09.there then no the gaffer had gone. No excuses, Derby did very well.
:26:09. > :26:18.Blackpool has got to move on. We have the same bunch of players, and
:26:18. > :26:24.hopefully we can replicate it. is bound to have an effect. We
:26:24. > :26:30.tried to exploit that. As best he won the first goal goes in. To lose
:26:30. > :26:34.a manager on the day of the game is going to have an effect. I want to
:26:34. > :26:41.give it and my best shot. I have a bunch of players I think will
:26:41. > :26:51.support me, but the results will dictate that. We have some big

:27:29. > :27:39.Leeds are seen of sell Random on challenge on Buckley. It is as
:27:39. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:52.clear cut as you are ever likely to see. He the Seagulls are flying at

:27:52. > :29:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:29:23. > :29:33.the better of the two. A great ball did last season and Scots twice
:29:33. > :29:53.
:29:53. > :30:00.against Leeds. Brilliantly worked Michael Brown but I think he is
:30:00. > :30:08.keeping his hand in his pocket for now. The referee allowing a good
:30:08. > :30:18.advantage. He was going to pull the Play Up, thinks about whistling and
:30:18. > :30:26.
:30:26. > :30:34.then sees Leeds have an advance of Browne will claim it. It's Brighton
:30:34. > :30:44.2, Leeds 2. Took the flick off Becchio, I think. There. Becchio
:30:44. > :30:49.might want to claim it. This is Bruno. Now, they're looking for a
:30:49. > :30:58.penalty. The referee has given it. The third penalty of the night. The
:30:58. > :31:05.challenge on Mackail-Smith. The referee looks at him and says - you
:31:05. > :31:09.gave me no alternative. On a hat- trick, Mackail-Smith. Save.
:31:09. > :31:19.Brilliant save by Kenny. It wasn't right in the corner. It was firmly
:31:19. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:28.struck. That is a top save from Kenny. The last 60 seconds.
:31:28. > :31:33.Mackail-Smith still full of running. Great save by Kenny. He saved his
:31:33. > :31:38.side a point here the Leeds goalkeeper. Great run from Mackail-
:31:38. > :31:43.Smith. When a player brings somebody from behind with a rugby
:31:43. > :31:49.tackle, you know you look at it as well and that player should not be
:31:49. > :31:53.on the pitch. Everyone knows and agrees. That didn't work for us
:31:53. > :31:57.because the penalty is a big decision. It's a great chance to
:31:58. > :32:02.score a goal. Unlucky for the referee the player who should be
:32:02. > :32:08.out scored the equalliser. I find it disappointing that players run
:32:08. > :32:13.that far to try to get somebody sent off. I didn't think it
:32:13. > :32:19.warranted a sending off. I thought the referee was the best player on
:32:19. > :32:26.the pitch. I had no complaints. He would have booked few more,
:32:26. > :32:36.probably a couple of the Brighton lads much I thought he was superb
:32:36. > :32:46.
:32:46. > :32:56.overall. Paterson put the Clarets ahead. The clarts have won three
:32:56. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:03.out of four. They kept another cleansheet --Clarets. They just
:33:03. > :33:09.failed with this effort. If only they had someone like Charlie
:33:09. > :33:19.Austin. His 19th goal of the season secured the points for Burnley. The
:33:19. > :33:21.
:33:22. > :33:28.wanders were left without a goal in four. Doyle lacked the necessary
:33:28. > :33:32.finishing touch. Not good enough was the verdict. Sloppy play from
:33:32. > :33:38.Johnson almost led to Norburnly goal. For once, Austin couldn't
:33:38. > :33:43.convert. The third wouldn't have flattered the Clarets who tonight
:33:43. > :33:48.can raise a glass to the new boss. A good day for us. We played well
:33:48. > :33:51.in the first half. We were looking for that important balance between
:33:51. > :33:56.attacking and defending properly. We did that in the first half and
:33:56. > :34:04.created a number of chances. In the second-half they got the upper hand
:34:04. > :34:10.and we showed the qualities that previously had not been prevalent
:34:10. > :34:17.here. This appeared to be a good chance for Huddersfield to get back
:34:17. > :34:27.on track against Bristol City. Sean Scannell made sure things were
:34:27. > :34:33.going to plan at half-time. They didn't get too many chances to
:34:33. > :34:41.build on the advantage. Woods was denied. Bristol City had lost four
:34:41. > :34:48.in a row and taken two points from the last 21. How they will wish
:34:48. > :34:53.they got more behind this shot. The players were close to getting a
:34:53. > :34:58.draw with the last move 69 of the math. This header didn't creep into
:34:58. > :35:03.the corner as the home side hung on. You have to win the football
:35:03. > :35:06.matches in a different manner. Most of the season we played fluent
:35:06. > :35:10.football and high-tempo game. Today we were lacking. We got the goal
:35:10. > :35:18.and defended well as a team. We showed more discipline than we did
:35:18. > :35:20.last week. We are 1-0 winners. Very pleasing. Having arrived at Ipswich
:35:21. > :35:28.on Thursday, Mick McCarthy has barely had time to introduce
:35:28. > :35:31.himself to his players. Mick McCarthy took all of his three
:35:31. > :35:37.Championship clubs to the play-offs and two of them to the title. The
:35:37. > :35:42.objective here will be climbing off the bottom. DJ Campbell's goal
:35:42. > :35:46.hasn't quite done that. It has given Ipswich a lift. It's a first
:35:46. > :35:53.win in any competition since August. It would have been an easier ride
:35:53. > :36:03.if this header had not been saved. Birmingham finished the stronger,
:36:03. > :36:08.
:36:08. > :36:13.they regretted several missed chances. Ipswich hung on. Davis'
:36:13. > :36:18.injury-time missed ensure a more ral boosting three points.
:36:18. > :36:27.Birmingham have won once in six games and could do with a lift
:36:27. > :36:36.themselves. We gave ourselves too much to do. It's more frustrating
:36:36. > :36:46.at home. We are embarrassed about the position we are. I should give
:36:46. > :36:51.Jewell a mention. We would not be here if we had got more of them. I
:36:51. > :37:00.enjoyed it overall. Hillsborough had a chance to climb out of the
:37:00. > :37:05.bottom three at Peterborough's expense. The second-half produced a
:37:05. > :37:11.different game. This kick was seized upon by Barkley. Everton's
:37:11. > :37:14.teenage talent added to his two goals which saw off Ipswich seven
:37:14. > :37:24.days earlier. Peterborough have lost every time their opponents
:37:24. > :37:27.
:37:27. > :37:30.have scored first. Antonio might have finished them off. Ant Yeo
:37:30. > :37:40.redeemed himself with an excellent cross, his third goal of the
:37:40. > :37:40.
:37:40. > :37:44.campaign. One fewer than he managed in the whole of last season --
:37:44. > :37:50.Antonio. Posh were kept in contention. Wednesday held their
:37:50. > :37:56.never. Barkley had got them going. First team football seems to be
:37:56. > :38:00.suiting him. The kid is a good prospect. We know that. It's nice
:38:00. > :38:05.he has scored another goal. We have he has scored another goal. We have
:38:05. > :38:15.to keep it going. A big win there for Sheffield Wednesday. Now a look
