:00:43. > :00:46.Good evening. We have reached a milestone of sorts in the nPower
:00:47. > :00:56.Football League, with every team having played their first 10 games.
:00:56. > :01:00.We will be hoping for more goals like these two from midweek -
:01:00. > :01:08.Anthony Knockaert and Dean Cox with two early contenders for goal of
:01:08. > :01:13.the season. Sadly, Jimmy Bullard has announced his retirement. Steve
:01:13. > :01:18.Claridge is here to pick out the headline makers from today, and
:01:18. > :01:26.these are some of the games we will be talking about. After their
:01:26. > :01:32.midweek win over Birmingham, Cardiff went to Ipswich in search
:01:32. > :01:38.of their sixth victory out of seven. Birmingham have only got three wins
:01:38. > :01:41.in nine, and they are yet to find their feet under Lee Clark. Today,
:01:41. > :01:48.there are against the club which sacked him seven months ago,
:01:49. > :01:56.Huddersfield. We have got action from League One's game of the day,
:01:56. > :02:02.between Notts County and the unbeaten leaders Tranmere. By day,
:02:02. > :02:08.he is Wycombe Wanderers' caretaker- manager, and by night, the closest
:02:08. > :02:12.thing the Football League has to a rock star. Can Gareth Ainsworth
:02:12. > :02:17.halt the decline of his club before he takes to the stage for his
:02:17. > :02:21.second performance of the day? More from Clem later. First, to a team
:02:21. > :02:26.which is flying high in the Championship. Cardiff have been
:02:26. > :02:31.enjoying their best home run of form in 66 years. On Saturday, they
:02:31. > :02:39.went to a struggling Ipswich side, who were unlucky against Brighton
:02:39. > :02:49.on Tuesday. Paul Jewell gives debuts to his two late loan
:02:49. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:06.the better football so far. Whittingham with the free kick. And
:03:06. > :03:13.it was Mark Hudson who was completely unmarked. Higginbotham
:03:13. > :03:17.was playing all the Cardiff players onside. There is a rather subdued
:03:17. > :03:23.atmosphere around Portman Road in the early stages. The supporters
:03:23. > :03:30.here have seen back to back home defeats against Wolves and Charlton
:03:30. > :03:34.before this game. That was a great chance for Campbell! Having got
:03:34. > :03:44.goal side of Connolly, Campbell was just unable to direct the ball
:03:44. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:00.from David Marshall. He has not had too much to do so far, the Cardiff
:04:00. > :04:08.goalkeeper, but when the former Arsenal man let fly, that ball was
:04:08. > :04:16.really moving, and it was a superb save. The corner is taken by Andy
:04:16. > :04:24.Drury. Marshall came and did not gather. Murphy's header cleared off
:04:24. > :04:34.the line. This time, Marshall is more assured. Higginbotham with the
:04:34. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:03.delicate ball back in. In fact, it Martin. DJ Campbell comes up with a
:05:03. > :05:13.debut goal for Ipswich, right on half-time. Lee Martin deserves much
:05:13. > :05:23.of the credit, a lovely spin earned turn, followed by the teasing cross.
:05:23. > :05:25.
:05:25. > :05:31.-- Spearmon and turn. -- spin and turn. Campbell got the final touch,
:05:31. > :05:41.but was it with his hand? It was. He took a long time to celebrate,
:05:41. > :05:47.
:05:48. > :05:54.and that's because he used his arm missing was the finish. Emmanuel-
:05:54. > :06:04.Thomas has been a real threat so far this evening. But as the angle
:06:04. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:16.tightened, he could not get it on That is a dangerous ball in, and
:06:16. > :06:22.Helguson has got the equaliser! In the end, it was a gift. Conway was
:06:22. > :06:28.allowed to drift inside, and Helguson was onside. Scott Loach
:06:28. > :06:32.just did not deal with it. Against the run of play, Cardiff City are
:06:32. > :06:42.presented with a very soft equaliser. But they will say that
:06:42. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :07:01.That was a good clearance, but only as far as Taylor. Beaten away by
:07:01. > :07:02.
:07:02. > :07:07.Loach. Taylor again... Conway... Whittingham! Another good block.
:07:07. > :07:17.And it is Murphy to the rescue for the home side. It came through the
:07:17. > :07:29.
:07:29. > :07:36.it was Higginbotham with the block. Helguson! And Heidar Helguson may
:07:36. > :07:42.have put his side back on top of the Championship! Taylor with the
:07:42. > :07:49.ball in, and Helguson at the back post, unmarked, and the veteran
:07:49. > :07:53.comes up with another key moment in this game. They have got to get the
:07:53. > :08:00.ball forward now very quickly, Ipswich. The cross comes in from
:08:00. > :08:05.Emmanuel-Thomas. And that was almost an own goal in the end, and
:08:05. > :08:15.it was Heidur Helguson who almost completed the hat-trick with an own
:08:15. > :08:22.
:08:22. > :08:27.It is hard to take when we have played so well in the first half.
:08:27. > :08:31.We started the second half really well, and then a mistake leads them
:08:31. > :08:36.back into the game, changing the momentum of the game. I am bitterly
:08:36. > :08:39.disappointed. We dominated the second half, after having been
:08:39. > :08:45.dominated in the first half. It shows character and resilience,
:08:45. > :08:49.especially coming away from home. I think we have won here before today
:08:49. > :08:55.ones in 60 years. Yes, another record broken by Cardiff. For
:08:55. > :09:02.Ipswich, the wait for a home win goes on - especially disappointing,
:09:02. > :09:06.after such a promising first half. It was. It looked very good. I
:09:06. > :09:09.think what you have got to say is, they played very well, he is
:09:09. > :09:14.disappointed they did not go 2-0 up, but you're never going to dominate
:09:14. > :09:16.the game for 90 minutes, so you have to see that period out when
:09:16. > :09:23.you are under the cosh. Unfortunately for them, the
:09:23. > :09:26.mistakes came at vital moments. Paul Jewell has mentioned on a
:09:26. > :09:31.number of occasions that mistakes are costing his side. And Scott
:09:31. > :09:36.Loach, the goalkeeper, has tweeted tonight saying, his mistakes have
:09:36. > :09:42.led to the defeat. One of them, definitely. It is not just about
:09:42. > :09:46.stopping the ball from going into the net, it is where it finishes up.
:09:46. > :09:51.That one, it finished up nicely for Helguson. This ball travels an
:09:51. > :09:55.awful long way. The two defenders are looking at him, but if he does
:09:55. > :09:59.not shout, than the defenders have got to do a bit more as well. It
:09:59. > :10:04.has travelled an awful long way. There is a bit of a lack of
:10:05. > :10:09.communication there. In the end, neither goalkeeper nor defenders
:10:09. > :10:13.have gone for it. Interestingly, the Ipswich owner went into the
:10:13. > :10:19.dressing room afterwards to give Paul Jewell his backing. But for
:10:19. > :10:25.Cardiff, a good victory, especially as they were missing key players.
:10:25. > :10:28.Yes, we know the chairman has given him his backing, because he has
:10:28. > :10:38.allowed Paul Jewell to sign three players this week, and good players
:10:38. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:45.as well, like Higginbotham and Campbell. Cardiff, he just tweaks
:10:45. > :10:49.it did it at half-time, and to come up with the victory, you're doing
:10:49. > :10:53.something right. Just behind Cardiff in the league at the start
:10:53. > :10:58.of play today were Leicester City, the form team in the Championship.
:10:58. > :11:04.Despite Nigel Pearson leading the side to five wins in six, yesterday,
:11:04. > :11:10.the chairman gave him public backing after newspaper reports
:11:10. > :11:15.suggested his job was under threat. Today, they took on Bristol City.
:11:15. > :11:19.After the show of support from the hierarchy at the club, Pearson's
:11:19. > :11:23.players delivered their own vote of confidence on the pitch, extending
:11:23. > :11:27.the longest winning streak in the division this season. Leicester
:11:27. > :11:36.came into this game having scored in all of their previous matches
:11:36. > :11:40.this season. David Nugent got the first goal. He has been the main
:11:40. > :11:45.man at the King Power Stadium recently. This is his fifth goal in
:11:45. > :11:50.their last three home matches. Nugent got a hat-trick in
:11:50. > :11:55.Leicester's previous league game here, and he was looking for his
:11:55. > :11:58.second one here. But the final touch in the end was credited to
:11:58. > :12:04.Richard Foster as an own goal. Bristol City are waiting for the
:12:04. > :12:08.first clean sheet of the campaign, and it could have got even worse,
:12:08. > :12:18.with Anthony Knockaert only denied his third goal in two games
:12:18. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:42.following top work from Tommy leading scorers at Pride Park. They
:12:42. > :12:45.were cursed by hamstring trouble. There was no disputing that
:12:45. > :12:49.Brighton are missing their inform striker after taking just a point
:12:49. > :12:55.from two home games in which they had hoped for more. In their quest
:12:55. > :12:58.for an away win, the appeals for hand ball fell on deaf ears. And in
:12:58. > :13:04.the second half the division's former leaders were denied twice by
:13:04. > :13:09.the crossbar. First, this deflected effort had him well beaten. The
:13:09. > :13:13.keeper may have got a touch when Hammond and Greer threw themselves
:13:13. > :13:19.up the same ball but were unable to force a winner. It finished in
:13:19. > :13:22.stalemate with both managers moderately satisfied. A lot of good
:13:22. > :13:27.football played at times, not too many chances created in the context
:13:27. > :13:34.of the effort we have put him in the last week. The tough away games,
:13:34. > :13:37.we are delighted with a clean sheet. I am going home quite relaxed today.
:13:37. > :13:43.I am seeing my team play, controlling, trying to go for the
:13:43. > :13:50.win all the time. We tried everything possible. We were solid.
:13:50. > :13:54.It was a good performance. A win over Charlton would have given
:13:54. > :13:58.Blackpool their best League starts since the mid- 90s. Instead, they
:13:58. > :14:04.suffered a third defeat out of four. That is typical of the Tangerines,
:14:04. > :14:14.who were up and down like the local rugby coast. Ricardo Fuller gave
:14:14. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:25.warning it would be no easy ride. Gary Taylor-Fletcher went close.
:14:25. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:36.Blackpool could not make the most before this tough-looking fixture
:14:36. > :14:43.but turned in a masterful performance, a typical shot from
:14:43. > :14:49.Fuller saw him bring out the best. The breakthrough came four minutes
:14:49. > :14:55.after the restart. Cort claimed his second goal of the season from this
:14:55. > :14:59.corner. A rare goal from Solly, only the second of his career,
:14:59. > :15:03.confirmed a morale-boosting win for a team that had just started to
:15:04. > :15:10.doubt themselves. Blackpool could do with a similar pick me up.
:15:10. > :15:14.has turned out not good enough. One set piece, one corner, diabolical
:15:14. > :15:18.from our point of view. Very disappointing, when you give them a
:15:18. > :15:22.free header like that and they have scored. After we dominated
:15:22. > :15:27.possession but we did not create enough chances. That is it, that is
:15:27. > :15:30.the way it has been going. We have to get on with it. A great
:15:30. > :15:34.afternoon for us all round. I knew it would be a tough game coming
:15:34. > :15:41.here, Ian Holloway at Blackpool are one of the sides that are fancied
:15:41. > :15:45.in the Championship but I felt we stood firm. Eric Black threw his
:15:45. > :15:50.hat into the ring for the manager's job at Blackburn ahead of the visit
:15:50. > :15:58.from Wolves but Rovers' first home game since Steve Kean's departure
:15:58. > :16:04.was not want to enhance his chances. Sako was held at bay for early on.
:16:04. > :16:12.Robinson's 150 th appearance for Blackburn. Jordan Rhodes asked for
:16:12. > :16:17.a penalty. Then the visitors almost got into the lead midway through
:16:17. > :16:22.the first half. A crowd of over 17,000, Blackburn's highest of the
:16:22. > :16:26.season, turned out since the managerial change and they nearly
:16:26. > :16:31.witnessed something special for stoppages not clear if Fabien in
:16:31. > :16:35.has meant it. There was plenty of talk about Alan Shearer's potential
:16:35. > :16:42.return and a match-winning strike was what he would have been proud
:16:42. > :16:48.of as Sako/Home 12 minutes from time. -- has Sako put one home 12
:16:48. > :16:51.minutes from time. We deserved our points a. We must be ready
:16:51. > :17:00.otherwise you get punished. It was a draw, to be honest. It was not a
:17:00. > :17:04.fantastic performance but I think a draw was a fair result. Where Eddie
:17:04. > :17:10.Hale goes there is entertainment. Burnley don't struggle four goals
:17:10. > :17:15.but the defence suffers alarming leaks, not lost on Crystal Palace's
:17:15. > :17:21.top talent, Zaha. At first committed when the visitors'' way.
:17:21. > :17:24.There was no reward for this fine save. McCann followed up to thrash
:17:24. > :17:31.Burnley into a lead that they doubled three minutes later. Quite
:17:32. > :17:36.a shock for Palace, a beauty from Paterson. The side have won five of
:17:36. > :17:42.their last six and fought back with a terrific pass Zaha had the poise
:17:42. > :17:45.to put to good use. A string of Premier League clubs are set to
:17:45. > :17:48.covered his signature and this performance will do nothing to
:17:48. > :17:56.dampen down the rumours. The teenager completed the stunning
:17:56. > :17:59.comeback. So, two more goals to add to Zaha's pair against walls on
:17:59. > :18:04.Tuesday and the penalty against Bolton last week. Now there was no
:18:04. > :18:09.stopping the Ben and they were in front Baxter Delaney's deflected
:18:09. > :18:14.shot. So this -- so far this was a carbon copy of the recovery against
:18:14. > :18:22.Cardiff but this time there was more to come. Burnley finished off
:18:22. > :18:27.as it was Touch-tone by Murray. There was time for Austin done it
:18:27. > :18:31.again. His 15 th goal of an incredible season. His club could
:18:31. > :18:35.only reflect on what might have been. It has been a fantastic
:18:35. > :18:41.response from the lads over the last few weeks. It was a very
:18:41. > :18:43.entertaining game today. We played very well on the break. We could
:18:43. > :18:47.have had more really. A great effort from the lads and they
:18:47. > :18:51.deserve to win. When you score three goals away from home and we
:18:51. > :18:55.are scoring goals consistently at the moment, we are not picking up
:18:55. > :19:04.the points that Taylor deserves a. We have to work on defending
:19:04. > :19:07.Another amazing comeback from Crystal Palace, Zaha continues
:19:07. > :19:12.torment. Dougie Freedman is in a unique position with Zaha because
:19:12. > :19:16.he has seen him develop as a 14- year-old and four Zaha there is no
:19:16. > :19:19.better manager to play and that Dougie Freedman. He has said he has
:19:19. > :19:23.no problem with certain him go but it has to be at the right time to
:19:23. > :19:26.the right club. Sometimes you get managers to a selfish in this
:19:26. > :19:31.situation and want to look after themselves. Dougie Freedman is not
:19:31. > :19:34.that kind of person. He understands he will move on. He is looking
:19:34. > :19:38.after his interests. He is at a club that had doing fantastically
:19:38. > :19:41.well. If they were struggling at the bottom I am sure there would be
:19:41. > :19:45.a time that he would go but who knows what they can achieve this
:19:45. > :19:50.season. He can go with that and have a great season. If it does not
:19:50. > :19:54.work out this season, there is plenty of time in the future.
:19:54. > :19:58.Charlton, a great result away to Blackpool. It limited their
:19:58. > :20:02.attacking lit instincts by becoming the first team to stop Blackpool
:20:02. > :20:06.scoring at home in 2012. What a mental lift for a team feeling its
:20:06. > :20:12.way in the division. It has been a tough start for Charlton, you think
:20:12. > :20:16.about the last week, they have been having a fantastic time, elevating
:20:16. > :20:19.themselves to 15 th Beck Row. A couple of good wins. Looking as if
:20:19. > :20:22.they were struggling with the transition from one lead to the
:20:23. > :20:27.other, now they look as if they have found their feet. Everyone can
:20:27. > :20:31.breathe easier and get on with the game. At this rain and it -- ifs
:20:31. > :20:35.win in a road for Leicester City. It makes press reports about the
:20:35. > :20:39.manager's job farcical. Is the uncertainty about Birmingham city's
:20:39. > :20:45.ownership taking its toll? The holding company delayed publishing
:20:45. > :20:49.its results for the second year in a row. Inconsistency continues on
:20:49. > :20:55.the field. Which Birmingham would turn up against Lee Clark's former
:20:55. > :20:59.club, Huddersfield? There were two changes from the hosts. Redmond was
:20:59. > :21:09.starting. Simon Grayson made three changes. Jermaine Beckford is one
:21:09. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:32.of the players to come in. the first 30 seconds and James
:21:32. > :21:56.
:21:56. > :21:59.Vaughan fires while of goal. -- goal. This is by far the best
:21:59. > :22:05.Birmingham spell so far. The first headed chance came and went for
:22:05. > :22:13.Redmond. It came out to Hirst. His shot deflected wide for a rare
:22:13. > :22:23.Bermingham corner. There is a fairly low sun, making the you
:22:23. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:41.goal for Huddersfield Town. Birmingham, having lost their last
:22:41. > :22:46.home game here by five, are behind once again. In by Vaughan, Jermaine
:22:46. > :22:49.Beckford's finish was really cool, impressive and incisive. A goal
:22:50. > :22:59.which given their start here they have more than earned, Huddersfield
:23:00. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:27.Birmingham's best opening so far as Redmond finds the post. It comes

:27:48. > :27:51.players, we have shot yourselves in the foot because we gave the
:27:51. > :27:55.opposition the initiative in the first half by not doing the basics.
:27:56. > :27:59.We wanted to come here and play the way we have played in our previous

:29:02. > :29:10.the second-half they were mostive. There was a threat in the game at
:29:10. > :29:15.last. When they went down to 10 men and Zigic got sent off. They were
:29:15. > :29:20.unlucky not to get something out of it. Was it a red card? No. It was
:29:20. > :29:24.high. The tack sl made with the inside of his foot, not the studs-
:29:24. > :29:29.high. He hasn't gone in to hurt the player. The lad gets up and gets on
:29:29. > :29:36.with it quickly. I don't think he got treatment. It's high. It's not
:29:36. > :29:41.dangerous. A booking not a sending off. A fifth win for Huddersfield.
:29:41. > :29:44.Excellent. Good start for them? has. Three years of real pressure
:29:44. > :29:49.in the one below thesm got out, penalties and whatever and the
:29:49. > :29:55.keeper, you get a feeling it's a sigh of relief. The pressure is out
:29:55. > :30:05.a little bit. Expectation not so high. We can enjoy it more. What is
:30:05. > :30:08.Like Birmingham, there's been plenty going on in the boardroom at
:30:08. > :30:11.Elland Road where, after endless talks, it seems only a matter of
:30:11. > :30:12.time before the Ken Bates era comes to an end.
:30:12. > :30:15.to an end. On Saturday, the fans were hoping
:30:15. > :30:18.to smile for another reason, three points against Barnsley in a
:30:18. > :30:27.Yorkshire derby. Anyone browsing the web ahead of this one will have
:30:27. > :30:33.seen Keith Hill's pre-match question - how do you trick the
:30:33. > :30:39.magician Neil Warnock. Barnsley couldn't take their chances. They
:30:39. > :30:43.dominated the opening exchanges, but just couldn't get a goal.
:30:43. > :30:51.Hayward was another player who lacked the necessary magic in his
:30:51. > :31:01.boots. The best trick was from the referee. The referee turned this
:31:01. > :31:01.
:31:01. > :31:07.free-kick into a penalty. Barnsley were not impressed. Becchio's spot-
:31:07. > :31:15.kick decided this Yorkshire Derby, a fixture that Leeds hadn't won
:31:15. > :31:24.since 1998. This save ensured a fourth win out of five for the
:31:24. > :31:31.Whites. They climb into the top seven. Shaking off their recent run
:31:31. > :31:38.of defensive laptsss was the pre- match demand from Steve Bruce. With
:31:38. > :31:48.Wednesday conceding the most in the Championship this season. Errors at
:31:48. > :31:51.
:31:51. > :31:56.the back had been frustrating Bruce. Jay Simpson nearly touched home.
:31:56. > :32:00.The deadlock was broken 13 minutes from time. Injury crisis meant Hull
:32:00. > :32:05.could only name six substitutes. One of the men on the bench
:32:06. > :32:11.snatched the points, McClean made an almost immediate impact to being
:32:11. > :32:17.his first in the League since match. Eight points from their opening
:32:17. > :32:25.nine games represented Wednesday's worse staff start for nine years. A
:32:25. > :32:29.better day at the office for Bruce. We had individual mistakes today.
:32:29. > :32:37.Better. They concentrated. Change of system and formation. It worked.
:32:37. > :32:41.We have to take heart from losses in the performance sometimes. We
:32:41. > :32:46.shouldn't lose sight of that. We are within the games. It can go
:32:46. > :32:50.either way. At the moment it doesn't seem to be going our way.
:32:50. > :33:00.These two went into the weekend with identical league records right
:33:00. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:09.down to goals scored and conceded. Watford were chasing a third
:33:09. > :33:16.successive win. Deeney was on target leaving the Middlesbrough
:33:16. > :33:20.manager perplexed on the sidelines. Emnes was fit for playing. Having
:33:20. > :33:26.missed two games he marked his return with the equalliser. The
:33:26. > :33:29.major turning point came three minutes before half-time. Vydra
:33:29. > :33:34.tangled with Nicky Bailey on the touchline no. Complaints from Boro.
:33:34. > :33:42.The referee had seen something he didn't like. To everyone's obvious
:33:42. > :33:52.astonish tment was a straight red card for the striker. That was the
:33:52. > :34:02.eighth dismissal for the referee in the last 11 games. McDonald marked
:34:02. > :34:04.
:34:04. > :34:10.his first a appearance this season. Boro nearly blew it. The keeper
:34:10. > :34:15.saved this. We were disappointed with the performance. They went
:34:15. > :34:22.down to ten men, of course. It's about winning. We played much, much
:34:22. > :34:27.better this season and got nothing. Today wasn't our best performance.
:34:27. > :34:34.He was trying to jump over the man that slipped in front of him. He
:34:34. > :34:42.landed on top of him. Not even big... Not even the player did
:34:42. > :34:45.complain. I think it was a poor decision. Unfortunately for us he
:34:45. > :34:50.penalised us. It was the second game we played with ten men. We did
:34:51. > :34:55.everything we could. However badly your team is doing this year spare
:34:55. > :34:59.a thought for Posh fans. Peterborough are the only league
:34:59. > :35:05.team in England without a single point at home. After back-to-back
:35:05. > :35:11.away wins, hopes were high at London Road. A moment of quality
:35:11. > :35:17.from Andy Reid settled this game. As superb as this goal was, it was
:35:17. > :35:26.tough on Peterborough. This match could have gone either way. Barnet
:35:26. > :35:36.and Harding force the a receive -- safe from the keeper. The ball was
:35:36. > :35:41.
:35:41. > :35:49.ruled out of play. Posh kept plugging away. Forest held on for a
:35:49. > :35:53.first win in six. A big result for them ahead of games against Cardiff
:35:54. > :35:58.and Blackpool. Bolton haven't been travelling too well since their
:35:58. > :36:02.relegation from the Premier League, losing three of their four games on
:36:02. > :36:12.the road this season. Millwall had failed to win any of their last
:36:12. > :36:15.
:36:15. > :36:21.five. The referee decided that Bogdan had been subject to a shove
:36:21. > :36:27.in the build-up. Kpt lions were in the lead after Henderson's effort
:36:27. > :36:35.caught handy deflections on its way past Bogdan. The Bolton keeper may
:36:35. > :36:42.have been disappointed with that goal, he came to wonders rescue to
:36:42. > :36:47.keep out Wood's header. Chris Eagles drew the visitors level in
:36:47. > :36:54.style. Bolton had conceded a penalty in all of their last four
:36:54. > :37:00.matches. They were awarded one when Eagles was taken down by Alan Dunn.
:37:00. > :37:06.Having hit the net from 20 yards out, Eagles could only hit the
:37:06. > :37:11.upper tier from 12. Things were to get worse for the visitors.
:37:11. > :37:18.Henderson snatched a 90th minute leveller last weekend, this time he
:37:18. > :37:24.popped up with a last gasp winner to move them three points clear of
:37:24. > :37:29.the relegation zone. Big decisions for the referee to make, I
:37:29. > :37:34.understand. That good performance. A lot of chances created. A
:37:34. > :37:40.deserved win. Raiz A much-needed win for Millwall. There were claims
:37:40. > :37:43.that Bolton players were subjected to racial abuse by fans at the Den.
:37:43. > :37:47.You know the work that has gone into the community to look at the
:37:47. > :37:50.problem. That make it is all the more disappointing for you to hear
:37:50. > :37:54.that tonight? It is disappointing. I spent two-and-a-half years there.
:37:54. > :37:58.There is no club that worked harder within the community to eradicate
:37:58. > :38:01.this sort of thing. Certainly, one or two, it won't be more than that,
:38:01. > :38:06.have crossed the line. It's not a racist club. I was there for a
:38:06. > :38:09.number of years. It's not... It's not a racist club. That is the one
:38:09. > :38:13.thing it has to identify. There are elements, shall we say, that over
:38:13. > :38:18.the years have crossed the line and, hopefully, if it has happened today,
:38:18. > :38:25.it won't happen again. The FA are investigating the matter and we
:38:25. > :38:28.will see what happens over the coming days. Let's look at that
:38:28. > :38:32.contentious issue between Leeds and Barnsley. This was never a penalty?
:38:32. > :38:37.It's not. It's an obstruction clearly. Clearly, it's a yard
:38:37. > :38:42.outside the box. Foster object instructs him, the momentum carries
:38:42. > :38:47.him into the box. The initial him into the box. The initial
:38:48. > :38:50.contact is a yard outside. quickly things have changed for
:38:50. > :38:57.Sheffield Wednesday. Seven defeats in eight, does that unbeaten run
:38:57. > :39:03.from earlier buy him more time? helped to get them promoted. I
:39:03. > :39:06.watched him the other day at Southampton. They weren't bad. They
:39:06. > :39:11.competed. I thought they lacked a cutting edge, maybe going forward.
:39:11. > :39:16.Confidence is a little bit low at this stage. The side that goes up
:39:16. > :39:20.carries on that momentum, how long on into the season remains to be
:39:20. > :39:23.seen. Maybe he needs to freshen it up a little bit.
:39:23. > :39:25.To League One now, where the game of the day was at Meadow Lane as
:39:25. > :39:28.Notts County entertained the leaders Tranmere.
:39:28. > :39:38.Ronnie Moore's side are showing few signs of faltering as they extended
:39:38. > :39:39.
:39:39. > :39:43.their record-breaking unbeaten run their record-breaking unbeaten run
:39:43. > :39:49.to ten matches. Notts County's last defeat to Stevenage wasn't the best
:39:49. > :39:54.way to get ready to meet the leaders. They were in trouble as
:39:54. > :40:04.fortune favoured Tranmere. This header from Thompson meant not were
:40:04. > :40:04.
:40:04. > :40:12.behind at the break. The cross was supplied by Baggie. They nearly
:40:12. > :40:17.doubled the lead in the second-half. The manager has led the Merseyside
:40:17. > :40:22.club to its best ever start to a season no. Wonder the boss is
:40:22. > :40:25.briming with enthusiasm. To come here a big club, and perform. It's
:40:25. > :40:30.the most complete performance we had this season. We dominated from
:40:30. > :40:34.start to finish. We got the goal. On another day we could have had
:40:34. > :40:39.four or five. We had decent chances on the counter attack because we
:40:39. > :40:48.have the pace in the team. Stevenage were another of the
:40:49. > :40:56.unbeaten trio in League One enjoying their best ever start to a
:40:56. > :40:59.League campaign. Greg Tansey went closer. A second-half free-kick
:40:59. > :41:05.expertly executed by Tansey. A stylish way to break a club record.
:41:05. > :41:09.Boro have scored in each of their last 17 matches. Second-half we
:41:09. > :41:15.certainly made more opportunities and looked a little bit brighter in
:41:15. > :41:22.there. In the end, it's an incredible bit of skill from Tansey
:41:22. > :41:27.that separates the teams. Brentford and Crawley had never net any
:41:27. > :41:33.competition before this encounter. Their first ever meeting was to be
:41:33. > :41:43.dominated by two players in goalscoring form. Donaldson gave
:41:43. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :41:58.the Bees the lead. This backpass was intercepted by Jonathan Forth,
:41:58. > :42:08.Adams got the goal. Donaldson had the final say. He got his sixth
:42:08. > :42:40.
:42:40. > :42:50.but they could not get to grips with I Izale McLeod. It was all a
:42:50. > :42:57.
:42:57. > :43:05.bit of a blur for the home team, blown away by Portsmouth. Pompey
:43:05. > :43:10.accidentally kept the contest alive, through this own goal from Webster.
:43:11. > :43:19.With 18 minutes left, they salvaged a draw. Darren Potter took the
:43:19. > :43:27.plaudits. If Orient get their wish of a move to the Olympic Stadium, a
:43:27. > :43:32.new identity is proposed - London Orient, according to the owner,
:43:32. > :43:37.Barry Hearn. It took an hour for United to produce the decisive
:43:37. > :43:42.moment. There was plenty for Nick Blackman to do, but he did it with
:43:42. > :43:50.style. 11 unbeaten at the start of the season, and Sheffield United
:43:50. > :43:53.have not done that since the 19th century. Oldham began the day
:43:53. > :43:58.without a win at home this season, but the locals were finally given
:43:58. > :44:02.something to smile about against their Lancashire rivals. Jose
:44:02. > :44:12.Baxter opened the scoring with something special just before half
:44:12. > :44:13.
:44:13. > :44:19.an hour. Baxter was also involved in the second one. Oldham started
:44:19. > :44:23.the day having scored just seven goals all season, but they soon had
:44:23. > :44:28.three in one afternoon. Preston tried to play keep ball on the edge
:44:28. > :44:38.of the area, but they allowed Dean Furman to pounce and calmly slot
:44:38. > :44:39.
:44:39. > :44:45.home. The visitors a' bad afternoon turned worse, with this second
:44:45. > :44:55.yellow card taking them down to 10 men. He trudged off without
:44:55. > :44:55.
:44:55. > :45:05.complaint. Preston did at least get a consolation. But the short trip
:45:05. > :45:10.home will not have been a happy one. Paolo Di Canio wanted a reaction
:45:10. > :45:20.after Swindon's midweek defeat to Colchester. James Collins was
:45:20. > :45:25.clearly listening. That first minute goal was enough to settle
:45:25. > :45:29.the contest, leaving Bury boss Kevin Blackwell unimpressed. After
:45:30. > :45:39.a week in the job, he says some of the club's signings have been
:45:40. > :45:41.
:45:41. > :45:47.garbage. The early season has brought with it signs of promise
:45:47. > :45:51.from Walsall. Certainly, the manner of their opening goal here
:45:51. > :46:01.suggested their run of just two wins from seven at home would not
:46:01. > :46:02.
:46:02. > :46:08.be a concern. Carlisle have travelled well so far this season,
:46:08. > :46:15.and they responded through Joe Garner. It was his first for the
:46:15. > :46:20.club, on loan from Watford. Noble fired a warning against the Walsall
:46:20. > :46:25.Wood work. As it went down to the wire, perhaps the visitors
:46:25. > :46:31.benefited from a midweek washout at Bury. They had the extra energy to
:46:31. > :46:36.pursue the points into stoppage time. Noble suddenly found he had
:46:36. > :46:45.time and space to make sure this chance went between the posts.
:46:45. > :46:52.Three on the spin away from home for Carlisle. Doncaster have been
:46:52. > :46:56.let down by their home form of late - just one win in 15 at the
:46:56. > :47:00.Keepmoat stadium. David Cotterill was felled in the box after just
:47:00. > :47:04.four minutes, giving their fans hope. Billy Paynter made no mistake
:47:04. > :47:09.from 12 yards. Doncaster thought they had doubled their advantage
:47:09. > :47:19.before the break, through this spectacular strike, but he was
:47:19. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :47:26.denied by an offside flag. Yeovil have lost six in a row ahead
:47:26. > :47:31.of the arrival of Colchester. They needed to find a spot from
:47:31. > :47:36.somewhere, and it came from a young Irishman looking to forge a fresh
:47:36. > :47:46.start. Paddy Madden just took 20 minutes to make an impression, on
:47:46. > :47:49.
:47:49. > :47:54.loan from Carlisle. Minutes later, Colchester had equalised. But Paddy
:47:54. > :48:00.Madden refused to be outshone. He has been dogged by injuries since
:48:00. > :48:10.moving to England from Bohemians a couple of years ago. But he showed
:48:10. > :48:10.
:48:10. > :48:15.on Saturday why he has been so highly rated. This was a resounding
:48:15. > :48:25.return to form for Yeovil, completed by James Hayter's fourth
:48:25. > :48:27.
:48:27. > :48:31.goal of the season. Two sides desperate for a win, neither having
:48:31. > :48:34.got maximum points in their last six matches. Are people in
:48:34. > :48:43.particular had struggled on their travels, but the got the
:48:43. > :48:47.encouragement of an any league through Evan Horwood. -- of an
:48:47. > :48:57.early lead. But the Crewe equaliser had an air of inevitability about
:48:57. > :49:03.
:49:03. > :49:10.it. But would it be through a penalty? The linesman said no.
:49:10. > :49:16.Yellow card for the offence, and for the sustained protest. It was
:49:16. > :49:23.another chance, but it was spectacularly wasted. The goal
:49:23. > :49:30.would eventually come for Crewe, courtesy of Chuks Aneke, his first
:49:30. > :49:34.of his loan spell from Arsenal, and it was an absolute stunner. When
:49:34. > :49:39.the chance came after the break, there was no more wastefulness from
:49:39. > :49:45.Crewe. Defender Mark Ellis got the faintest of touches for his first
:49:45. > :49:51.goal since arriving from Torquay. Hartlepool would come close to
:49:51. > :49:56.snatching only their second away point of the season. This shot was
:49:56. > :50:06.deflected, and it had goalkeeper Martin scrambling. The crossbar
:50:06. > :50:06.
:50:06. > :50:11.came to the rescue. Coventry have proved that a switch in manager can
:50:11. > :50:16.provide a change in fortunes. Mark robins' side picked up their first
:50:16. > :50:19.win last weekend, and were too good against Bournemouth on Saturday.
:50:19. > :50:25.Bournemouth parted company with Paul Groves on Wednesday, and this
:50:25. > :50:31.was the closest they came to finding the net. Coventry's winner
:50:31. > :50:40.was inspired by a quick thinking from substitute Calum ball. David
:50:40. > :50:43.McGoldrick fired home past David James. I would have liked to have
:50:43. > :50:52.seen the game over and done with a bit earlier. We can be more
:50:52. > :50:56.ruthless. We look like we are edging our way into games, but the
:50:56. > :51:00.capability here is much better than that. They were a bit nervous
:51:00. > :51:06.because they had not won at home, and we were a bit anxious because
:51:06. > :51:10.of her recent form. The only goal proved crucial. Mark robins and
:51:10. > :51:14.Coventry would seem to have turned the corner. Let's talk about two
:51:14. > :51:20.teams still unbeaten in that division - Tranmere, 11 unbeaten,
:51:20. > :51:26.and today, they were up against Notts County without a couple of
:51:26. > :51:31.key members. They went into the game today with three of the top
:51:31. > :51:38.scorers in that division. One of them went off after 30 minutes,
:51:38. > :51:40.Akpa Akpro. But they still won the Akpa Akpro. But they still won the
:51:40. > :51:45.game. It augurs well for the future. We always looked to them last
:51:45. > :51:48.season. When he took over, we know that he knows the club inside out,
:51:48. > :51:49.that he knows the club inside out, that he knows the club inside out,
:51:49. > :51:52.there is a lot of trust. He was not there is a lot of trust. He was not
:51:52. > :51:56.there is a lot of trust. He was not starting afresh. He went in, got an
:51:56. > :51:59.instant reaction. But then, it is a instant reaction. But then, it is a
:51:59. > :52:06.case of, can we carry it on till this year? Well, they have done
:52:06. > :52:11.more than that. To be fair, the way they are going, it is difficult to
:52:11. > :52:16.see who will stop them at this stage. Stevenage are doing their
:52:16. > :52:26.best to keep up. You're not entirely surprised by the start
:52:26. > :52:27.
:52:27. > :52:32.that Gary Smith has made? No, I knew him from Wycombe, he is a good
:52:32. > :52:38.coach. He somehow found himself head coach of Colorado rapids, won
:52:38. > :52:42.the MLS, even though the Rapids are not one of the bigger clubs. It was
:52:42. > :52:46.a fantastic achievement. He has come back here and got a decent job,
:52:46. > :52:53.and taken them on really well. Just like Tranmere, they have done
:52:53. > :52:58.fantastically well. We should also say well done to Oldham for their
:52:58. > :53:03.terrific back-to-back victories. It is fair to say, these are difficult
:53:03. > :53:06.days at Adams Park. Sternal began the day second from bottom in the
:53:06. > :53:13.Football League. Can a cult hero with thank you very much ambitions
:53:13. > :53:23.either man to turn things around? Clem found out. It is the classic
:53:23. > :53:33.dilemma of any schoolboy - rock star or footballer? At the age of
:53:33. > :53:36.
:53:36. > :53:42.39,m Ainsworth still has not quite decided. He still finds it
:53:42. > :53:50.difficult to turn down the opportunity to test out his tonsils.
:53:50. > :53:55.Despite Wycombe's precarious position, he will take to the stage
:53:56. > :54:05.in a function suite, strutting his stuff with a local band as part of
:54:06. > :54:08.
:54:08. > :54:14.an official club charity night. First of all, have you got time for
:54:14. > :54:19.this interview? That was my first thought! I agreed to this about two
:54:19. > :54:26.months ago. Musical heroes? Morrison, without any shadow of
:54:26. > :54:30.doubt. We like a bit more if up-to- date stuff. A lot of his stuff is
:54:30. > :54:36.date stuff. A lot of his stuff is before we were born. This afternoon,
:54:36. > :54:41.it is all about the football, but I love my music, and I love being in
:54:41. > :54:51.front of a band singing. Come on, who is actually going to see him
:54:51. > :54:54.
:54:54. > :54:58.perform tonight? Come on, somebody here must like his taste in music?
:54:58. > :55:05.It is a tough enough gig that Gareth Ainsworth has got himself
:55:05. > :55:10.this afternoon. Wycombe are still suffering from their relegation
:55:10. > :55:13.hangover, and suffering from a New Age of austerity, since the
:55:13. > :55:17.supporters' Trust took control of the club in the summer. We will do
:55:17. > :55:23.what we can afford. We will break even not this season but probably
:55:23. > :55:27.next season, and whatever we can afford, we will have. You have not
:55:27. > :55:34.quite got your name on the door yet. But this place has seen some names
:55:34. > :55:39.over the years. Yes, obviously, Gary would it was very well
:55:39. > :55:47.respected here. He has been one of the first ones in touch with me to
:55:47. > :55:54.wish me luck. I work hard, whatever shirt is on my back, and this is no
:55:54. > :56:00.exception. It is 100%. If I could get the job, I would be very proud.
:56:00. > :56:04.This is the toughest question you will ever have to one so - 100,000
:56:04. > :56:10.adoring music fans, you screaming your head off at Wembley Stadium,
:56:10. > :56:16.or three points this afternoon? Three points this afternoon. I have
:56:16. > :56:21.got 200 screaming fans tonight, so I am OK! Gareth Ainsworth certainly
:56:21. > :56:25.played his part in their first home win of the season, setting up this
:56:25. > :56:29.one for Gary Doherty. But the one for Gary Doherty. But the
:56:29. > :56:32.Chairboys are the only side not to have kept a clean sheet this season,
:56:32. > :56:41.so there was an air of inevitability when Torquay's
:56:41. > :56:49.equaliser came just before half- time, through Rene Howe. Wycombe
:56:49. > :56:56.had Dean Morgan to thank for their winner. He set the goal up with
:56:56. > :57:01.some tremendous trickery. Torquay pressed for the equaliser, and
:57:01. > :57:11.their goalkeeper had to be at his best. But Wycombe held on for the
:57:11. > :57:16.
:57:16. > :57:21.about? It is just me saying thank you to them. I have been so proud
:57:21. > :57:26.of them, they have worked their socks off. That's what you get. I
:57:27. > :57:29.am so proud. Go and see them, and put your spandex trousers on, and
:57:29. > :57:39.put your spandex trousers on, and we will see you later. He becomes!
:57:39. > :57:45.
:57:45. > :57:55.You look every bit the rock star. Good luck, mate, in you go.
:57:55. > :58:12.
:58:12. > :58:16.He was a winner. It should have been the other way around. The
:58:16. > :58:21.amount of times he apologised for kicking me. He is a competitor. He
:58:21. > :58:25.will lead by example. He will not ask for anything. They will be no
:58:25. > :58:29.quarter given at Arsenal. He will lead by example. Some people do it
:58:29. > :58:33.verbally, other people do it the way they play the game. He is one
:58:33. > :58:36.of those. Because he has an outlet with the music, the pressures of
:58:36. > :58:41.the day job of being a player manager or a manager will not be so
:58:41. > :58:48.intense for him? Yes, he has a way of letting off steam. I am not sure
:58:48. > :58:51.he will go into the boardroom when they lose again and get that
:58:51. > :58:55.reception but having said that, all is well that ends well. It has been
:58:55. > :59:01.a terrible time but they have stopped that now and hopefully
:59:01. > :59:04.onwards and upwards. Good luck to them. Gillingham showed they read
:59:05. > :59:14.resilience in midweek after bouncing back from their first
:59:15. > :59:21.
:59:21. > :59:26.defeat of the season. On Saturday, star man at the Kassam Stadium. He
:59:26. > :59:33.kept out Kedwell and Barratt early on. They were near-misses. They
:59:33. > :59:39.were not or Gillingham's. Oxford United stopped Gillingham taking
:59:39. > :59:43.all three points away from home. Clarke was the main reason. He
:59:43. > :59:48.stopped this from Deon Burton. The goalkeeper will have enjoyed his
:59:48. > :59:53.afternoon. Clarke was dropped a couple of games ago but an injury
:59:53. > :59:57.to his understudy has brought him back. Oxford got a draw and proved
:59:57. > :00:01.a point to his manager. Martin Maalot -- Martin Allen was
:00:01. > :00:06.impressed as well. I will have to check the team sheet to see who is
:00:06. > :00:10.in goal. I thought it was Gordon Banks. What are you laughing at?
:00:10. > :00:17.Their goalkeeper was unbelievable. He has made some unbelievable saves.
:00:17. > :00:24.I want everybody in McLeod -- ground, they must have clapped him,
:00:24. > :00:28.I was captain in the technical area. He was fantastic. -- I was clapping
:00:28. > :00:32.in the technical area. The top scorers in lead two-at the lead
:00:33. > :00:38.through the division's most prolific marksman this season, Pope.
:00:38. > :00:45.The beneficiary of fine works on the wing, five minutes before half-
:00:45. > :00:55.time. Only Port Vale have managed more than a 20 goals in Exeter's
:00:55. > :00:59.
:01:00. > :01:06.leader can this turned and the defeat in 4-2 games. Pope popped up
:01:06. > :01:13.again. Ashley Vincent was the provider. Pope backed his 9th goal
:01:13. > :01:16.in six games and 11th this season. Smart work from the keeper ensured
:01:16. > :01:25.that dalliance left with a clean sheet and a 5th away win on the
:01:25. > :01:31.and it was Fleetwood, still enjoying that momentum of promotion,
:01:31. > :01:36.who struck first. Brown's cross was too hot to handle. Ball forced it
:01:36. > :01:40.over the line. Cheltenham have not started the season so well in 12
:01:40. > :01:47.years since they hit back after the break. According eventually
:01:47. > :01:51.stabbing home. Attended a personal goal drought dating back to January.
:01:52. > :01:56.Another Jones corner and the Robins were heading for a 4th win in five.
:01:56. > :02:03.The Portuguese defender was the scorer, Jombati. Three what are
:02:03. > :02:09.tough to beat. It was Brown who was on hand to force home the equaliser.
:02:09. > :02:15.His 5th goal of the season and a point but also sparked MLA. The
:02:15. > :02:25.referee saw enough to produce a red card Bennett, not a moment for the
:02:25. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:36.Burton are not brilliant on the road. A goalless draw was always
:02:36. > :02:43.favoured Pierrette especially with finishing like this. The game was
:02:43. > :02:48.short on spectacle. Dagenham had only picked up five points from
:02:48. > :02:52.their previous five home games but would 2-0 a put against Bradford
:02:52. > :02:57.after half-an-hour. Bingham was in the right place with six minutes
:02:57. > :03:00.gone. The Daggers came into the game having made their worst-ever
:03:00. > :03:07.start to the league season. Eight points on the board from their
:03:07. > :03:12.opening ten matches. You would not have known it went Spillane scored.
:03:12. > :03:16.It was 3-0 just after half-time. Wilkinson the latest man to get in
:03:16. > :03:20.on the act. However, there is the reason the Bantams have only lost
:03:20. > :03:26.one of their last six league games and Parkinson's side mounted to
:03:26. > :03:29.come back. Wells had recently signed a three-year contract and he
:03:29. > :03:37.hauled the visitors into contention with a double strike in the space
:03:37. > :03:46.of six minutes. Lewington's foul on, will allowed Wales to stroke in his
:03:46. > :03:50.5th goal in as many games. A rare win was firmly back on the horizon.
:03:50. > :03:57.Then Gayle restored the two goal cushion a quarter-of-an-hour from
:03:57. > :04:07.time. But con el's connection with a long throw on 84 minutes set up a
:04:07. > :04:16.
:04:17. > :04:21.charge at Accrington, a splendid Donnelly strike inside 60 seconds
:04:21. > :04:24.an immediate reason to savour the return. Whilst denying victory here
:04:24. > :04:31.would be sweeter than any other, Coleman did want to share of
:04:31. > :04:35.friends how well he was doing. A penalty was the outcome. Grimes was
:04:35. > :04:38.emphatic from 12 yards. Coleman could enjoy this familiar
:04:38. > :04:43.surroundings. Stanley were determined to keep their former
:04:43. > :04:47.boss on the edge of his seat. Mingoia, on loan from Watford, got
:04:47. > :04:53.them into the contest and not long after the break it was 2-2. There
:04:53. > :04:59.was plenty behind the effort from Boco, enough to embarrass the
:04:59. > :05:06.goalkeeper. The goalkeeper's bushes would be spared with the finale of
:05:06. > :05:10.the long-range shooting, Kennedy's goal would prove to be the winner
:05:10. > :05:20.although this player wasted the chance for Accrington to share the
:05:20. > :05:22.
:05:22. > :05:26.Conference coming York have been denied a proper derby for a little
:05:26. > :05:35.while. Rotherham came calling. The Minster man could not make the most
:05:35. > :05:40.of it. Walker was on target early on. The Millers had chances. Here,
:05:40. > :05:44.is was's first touch was good. He had the pace to get away. Finishing
:05:44. > :05:52.was not up to scratch. He is still looking for his first League goal
:05:52. > :05:55.of the season. Both sides worked hard without much reward. Hunt's
:05:55. > :06:05.brilliant block ensured the points were shed. It was probably the
:06:05. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:16.only club without a win and lead to and they almost had that familiar
:06:16. > :06:19.sinking feeling when Hurst some two against the woodwork but the Bees
:06:19. > :06:24.went ahead with impressive long- range shooting as Holmes let fly
:06:24. > :06:27.just after half-time. Robson's men were starting to dream after
:06:27. > :06:32.parting with all three points. Another weaving run from Holmes led
:06:32. > :06:38.to another goal. This time, Hyde applying the finish for his third
:06:38. > :06:41.in as many games. But no one had gained more points from losing
:06:41. > :06:46.positions in lead to this season than the Shrimpers and two minutes
:06:46. > :06:53.later they were back in it. Barry Fuller handling to allow East would
:06:53. > :06:57.the opportunity to reduce the deficit. Lowe was the next man to
:06:57. > :07:01.rattle the frame of the goal and it turned out the Bees really did need
:07:01. > :07:07.the cushion he nearly provided. Just six minutes left to play when
:07:07. > :07:11.they failed to deal with the long ball and Hurst duly scored. Despite
:07:11. > :07:14.the disappointment of letting up two goal lead slip, Barnet were on
:07:14. > :07:19.course for a first away point of the campaign but it was nearly
:07:19. > :07:29.snatched away following an almighty scramble. There was still time for
:07:29. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:41.more drama. However, it is not a for goals, Bristol raiders made a
:07:41. > :07:46.change of fortune. It came when Charles hauled down another player,
:07:46. > :07:50.a red card with 23 minutes played. The visitors survived until the
:07:50. > :07:56.break. The crossbar denied Riordan. But Northampton would not survive a
:07:56. > :08:03.great deal longer. Eaves, on loan from Bolton, was perfectly placed
:08:03. > :08:09.for his first Rovers goal. And another player's maiden Rovers goal
:08:09. > :08:14.appeared to have put the game beyond doubt, Kenneth had not
:08:14. > :08:18.scored since January 2011. Town did not give up. Akinfenwa heading one
:08:18. > :08:23.back for the ten men. They were eager to push for the equaliser.
:08:23. > :08:30.But it also spurred on Rovers to make sure of the points. If there
:08:30. > :08:38.was any anxiety, it did not show. Northern on hand to make sure of a
:08:38. > :08:46.home win finally. -- Norburn. The pressure is building on Dean
:08:46. > :08:49.Holdsworth and Aldershot. This header was as close as they came.
:08:49. > :08:54.Their first -- the third defeat in a row might have been confirmed
:08:54. > :08:57.earlier, had Chris Atkinson done better from this perfect pass.
:08:57. > :09:02.Atkinson and Chesterfield the not have worried. Salvation was around
:09:02. > :09:06.the corner. A better finish from the midfield at this time. Thus by
:09:06. > :09:16.rights were on their first -- were on their way to a first away win of
:09:16. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:32.got a hard fought away win. Harrison got a goal after 13
:09:32. > :09:40.minutes. Plymouth near that level to. Brown came to the rescue. The
:09:40. > :09:44.real drama came in the final few minutes. There was a tangle in the
:09:44. > :09:49.box, a penalty to the hosts. Although Griffiths missed from 12
:09:49. > :09:56.yards, he picked up the pieces. It looked like the points would be
:09:56. > :10:04.shared. Wimbledon found the winner in injury time. It was looked in to
:10:04. > :10:09.hand the Dons a much-needed win and Wimbledon came out on top against
:10:09. > :10:13.Plymouth but let's talk about the battle of the strikers between Pope
:10:13. > :10:17.and puritan. Pope came out on top with a couple of headers that have
:10:17. > :10:23.been off high quality. Completely different as well, you look at this
:10:23. > :10:26.one. A little bit too much maybe. He has to control it. He has fallen
:10:26. > :10:36.back. He has to get the elevation and control on the ball which she
:10:36. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:42.they know where he is going to be at this stage. It is time to pick
:10:42. > :10:47.and choose where he wants to be. He gets some of the defender. He
:10:47. > :10:55.elevate himself, stays up there. It is all about direction. He hits the
:10:55. > :11:00.A good finish. After the defeat against Gillingham, he has gone the
:11:00. > :11:04.other way, regrouped and come back strong. Five wins in 74 Micky
:11:04. > :11:09.Adams's men. They have defied the odds despite what is going on
:11:09. > :11:12.outside the club. As for Dagenham & Redbridge, they caught to win
:11:12. > :11:18.against Bradford one of the best they have ever seen at Victoria
:11:18. > :11:22.Road. It had a bit of everything, gulls, excitement, the win.
:11:22. > :11:25.threat of a comeback. Fantastic. Another team which looked as if it
:11:25. > :11:28.was going to be a tough year, there had victories in the last couple of
:11:28. > :11:31.weeks and all of a sudden everything looks brighter. Another
:11:31. > :11:35.team wear them are not passive expectations. They will not be a
:11:35. > :11:40.huge amount of pressure but John has to keep things going and keep
:11:40. > :11:44.them away from relegation. Rochdale unbeaten in six? Yes, after going
:11:44. > :11:50.in their last year they got relegated but they are starting to
:11:50. > :12:00.work a bit of magic. It is a good side of a sudden. Against Sarmi on
:12:00. > :12:00.
:12:00. > :13:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
:13:02. > :13:05.Saturday. Let's see how Saturday's We have to leave it there. There is
:13:05. > :13:09.more football on Sunday night on Match Of The Day to who at 10:25pm
:13:09. > :13:14.on BBC One. There is no match Of the Day next Saturday because of
:13:14. > :13:18.the international break. We will have the best of Leagues One and
