:00:38. > :00:41.Evening. We are already into the final third of the season and why
:00:42. > :00:45.it is obviously too early to win anything at this stage, we are
:00:45. > :00:49.getting up at point where there is plenty to lose. Today saw a repeat
:00:49. > :00:52.of the opening day's fixtures minus the hot weather, of course, and for
:00:52. > :00:55.some, high hopes but there is plenty of optimism that Nottingham

:01:00. > :01:04.Keith Curle has left Notts County and for Paul Dickov masterminding
:01:04. > :01:06.all them's Cup run was not enough to save him from the side. Lee
:01:06. > :01:13.Briers here to reflect. These are some of the games we will be
:01:13. > :01:17.talking about. -- Leroy it is here. With one win in seven, Bolton are
:01:17. > :01:20.in danger of the relegation dogfight. The Trotters faced the
:01:20. > :01:29.side at the other end of the table and in hot pursuit of a play-off
:01:29. > :01:34.place, Lancashire rivals, Burnley. Watford's charge for promotion is
:01:34. > :01:37.gaining momentum. A Friday evening, Gianfranco Zola's free-scoring
:01:37. > :01:42.Hornets welcomed Crystal Palace, another club looking to take their
:01:42. > :01:45.place in the Premier League. Unbeaten in seven away from home,
:01:46. > :01:53.Hull City are maintained at -- maintaining their automatic
:01:53. > :01:58.promotion push. The Tigers were at the Amex Stadium. We are at the
:01:58. > :02:03.Keepmoat Stadium, where enjoying back black -- enjoying life back in
:02:03. > :02:08.management, Brian Flynn's Doncaster Rovers against Walsall. When Bolton
:02:08. > :02:11.opened their campaign against Burnley, the relegated Trotters
:02:11. > :02:16.were the book is' hot favourites to bounce back into the Premier League.
:02:16. > :02:22.Six months on, they are trying to get grips with life in the second
:02:22. > :02:25.tour. As the Sean Dyche, he has quietly gone about his business
:02:25. > :02:35.with the play-offs a possibility. At the Reebok Stadium was Nigel
:02:35. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:41.met in the mid- warmth of summer in the opening day. Both clubs have
:02:41. > :02:44.different managers and different objectives. Bolton are staring the
:02:44. > :02:49.prospect of back to back relegation firmly in the face. Burnley need to
:02:49. > :02:54.close the gap on the top six quickly. Bolton manager Dougie
:02:54. > :03:00.Freedman has a busy transfer window and gives Premier League that low
:03:00. > :03:08.knees Craig Dawson from West Brom and Southampton's de Ridder their
:03:08. > :03:11.debuts. Burnley's only change is enforced. Duff damaged his car for
:03:11. > :03:21.Peterborough, so Edgar deputises. The rest of the side has been
:03:21. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:52.settled for much of the season was corner. Dawson was inches away from
:03:52. > :04:02.a debut goal. League Grand was scrambling across there. I don't
:04:02. > :04:09.
:04:09. > :04:14.think he would have made it. -- Lee player. Dear reader may be
:04:14. > :04:24.disappointed there. There was nobody in the Bolton white shirt to

:04:36. > :04:41.came close for Bolton Wanderers. Not picked up again. The
:04:41. > :04:45.combination may be of the woodwork and the boot of Lee Grant keeping
:04:45. > :04:55.Burnley on terms. Dougie Freedman may feel his team should be ahead
:04:55. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:24.behind the goal and they have been answered by Foy. Ross Wallace has
:05:24. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:48.are the Championship of this season strike again. You can win in the
:05:48. > :05:51.first header and time seemed to stand still for Bolton as Edgar
:05:52. > :06:01.rose highest and on his return to the side, he scores his first goal
:06:02. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:18.home debut comes to a premature end. The home crowd do not seem too
:06:18. > :06:27.impressed. He has twinkled sporadically throughout the day.
:06:27. > :06:36.Craig Davies is coming on. The Blues are even louder as Mardin saw
:06:36. > :06:46.Dell is replaced by Ngog. Brave changes made by Dougie Freedman,
:06:46. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:03.with his side trailing by one goal equaliser. An instant impact from
:07:03. > :07:13.Craig Davies. What an inspired change from the manager that turned
:07:13. > :07:22.
:07:22. > :07:29.constructive football, an excellent finish from Davies. Despite the
:07:29. > :07:39.boos when he came on, that changed now looks entirely justified. --
:07:39. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:19.Davies very close to a second goal kick. He will be confident of
:08:19. > :08:30.
:08:30. > :08:35.picking up a much-needed victory ball in. Dawson's shot was blocked
:08:35. > :08:45.and Burnley are grateful they had half-a-dozen shirts on the goal
:08:45. > :09:09.
:09:09. > :09:19.wins the free kick will stop -- he hand from Lee Grant, keeping out
:09:19. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:36.scored for Bolton Wanderers -- and Ngog. The men off the bench have
:09:36. > :09:42.turned this game around. Davies was involved, Spearing was going for
:09:42. > :09:46.goal but it was razor-sharp from Ngog. His 5th goal of the season
:09:46. > :09:55.and in the context of a relegation battle, it may be the most
:09:55. > :09:59.Is that a missed opportunity today? Yes, I think it is, playing good
:09:59. > :10:05.stuff and taking the lead. Unfortunately the first goal was a
:10:05. > :10:09.poor goal, from our point view. The second one, the lad put that away
:10:09. > :10:13.nicely. The player was �7 million, it shows the strength and depth.
:10:13. > :10:17.You are paid to make big decisions and the crowd were not happy when
:10:17. > :10:23.you brought on the two players, but it was justified. Yes, that is why
:10:23. > :10:26.I am at the football club, to make decisions. We were unfortunate to
:10:26. > :10:32.go goal behind. We have substitutes to help the team and that is what
:10:32. > :10:37.we did. I felt we had to change the shape. It worked for us.
:10:37. > :10:41.certainly did, it was a disjointed contest in the first half. It came
:10:41. > :10:45.to live in the second. Is it there to show it -- say that Bolton
:10:45. > :10:50.shaded it over the 90 minutes? first half was even, who have got
:10:50. > :10:54.the first goal was going to be decisive. It has been a frustrating
:10:54. > :10:59.time for Dougie Freedman Appleton. If you look at his record so far,
:10:59. > :11:03.it has not been spectacular. Six wins from 20. Will that contribute
:11:03. > :11:07.to the pressure he made when he was making the substitutions and the
:11:07. > :11:12.response from the crowd? He has drawn games as well and there is a
:11:12. > :11:16.frustration. When the substitutes came on, you could hear the booze,
:11:16. > :11:20.a good him a chance but of you do not know what you're doing, but he
:11:20. > :11:24.did know what he was doing. This is the diving header, which came off
:11:24. > :11:29.his shoulder. That was the luck that Bolton needed. Ngog, who I
:11:29. > :11:33.feel is better when he is more instinctive, finishes off
:11:33. > :11:37.absolutely beautifully. It falls in the box for him. He hits it with
:11:37. > :11:41.the left foot, spearing puts it in the box and it is a lovely finish.
:11:41. > :11:44.It is a goal made from Liverpool. It shows where Bolton are, they
:11:44. > :11:48.have taken players from Liverpool who have played in the Premier
:11:48. > :11:52.League and they find it difficult to get a look then of results.
:11:52. > :11:56.Burnley are close to the play-offs, Bolton are six points behind. That
:11:56. > :12:00.division is tight. Burnley have dropped 22 points from winning
:12:00. > :12:03.positions. Should they be concerned? He will be frustrated,
:12:03. > :12:08.once you get your nose in front in this division -- division, you
:12:08. > :12:11.should go on and win but they have not. If they keep clean sheets,
:12:11. > :12:17.they will be in the next. He will be frustrated but it is something
:12:17. > :12:20.they can fix. A more from the Championship, started with Friday
:12:20. > :12:30.night's game involving Gianfranco Zola's Watford against Crystal
:12:30. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :14:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 123 seconds
:14:34. > :14:43.Palace, who have stuttered lately fun. Richards fed it in beautifully.
:14:43. > :14:53.He was onside and there was no doubting the quality of the finish.
:14:53. > :14:54.
:14:54. > :15:04.They have got some world-class players. They have borrowed nine,
:15:04. > :15:18.
:15:18. > :15:26.which is ludicrous. It seems a lot of clubs can be bought
:15:26. > :15:32.internationally. We really need to sort ourselves out. I cannot
:15:32. > :15:42.believe that there is such a massive loophole. My question is,
:15:42. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:06.where are the English players going be agitated. Cardiff's worries only
:16:06. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:17.increased with the first goal. However, the breath for Roux --
:16:17. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:30.however, the referee said there had been a foul in the scrummage.
:16:30. > :16:35.Marshall was on red alert. The home side always needed to keep a close
:16:35. > :16:42.watch on Craig Bellamy, even if his aim on this occasion was and what
:16:42. > :16:52.he wanted. And when Conway was on target, the stand-in captain would
:16:52. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:02.not be beaten. Huddersfield enjoyed a standing ovation. We haven't won,
:17:02. > :17:11.but we are playing top of the league. You can see the effort
:17:11. > :17:21.Huddersfield are putting in. It is a tricky pitch and we really need
:17:21. > :17:22.
:17:22. > :17:32.to be disciplined. At London Road, a meeting of tops and tails.
:17:32. > :17:34.
:17:34. > :17:42.Promotion-chasing Leicester prop by thousands of their fans along. --
:17:42. > :17:52.brought 5,000 of their fans along. We 15 minutes left, the ball fell
:17:52. > :17:53.
:17:53. > :18:01.to United. Leicester's habit of conceding late goals was to cost
:18:01. > :18:11.them further. Posh were heading for a mighty upset, but not before at a
:18:11. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:30.frantic finale. Lead Tomlin it burst through to come within a
:18:30. > :18:30.
:18:31. > :18:35.shoelace of a third. However, it stayed 2-14 Darren Ferguson's side.
:18:35. > :18:40.It was one that was needed, I said that in the team talk. It was one
:18:40. > :18:50.of those days when you look back and think, it could have been
:18:50. > :18:50.
:18:50. > :20:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 123 seconds
:20:14. > :20:21.turned around. You always get one people would have done the towel in,
:20:21. > :20:31.but they didn't. Given that Derby are one of the worst travellers in
:20:31. > :20:35.
:20:35. > :20:45.the division, there wasn't much expected. Jenny Ward delivered the

:21:13. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:30.lead have vanished altogether. -- by the hour. Kirkland had to be
:21:30. > :21:40.quick on his feet to extend the unbeaten run. When you are 2-0 down,

:21:50. > :21:58.I don't see why back score is what You would have bought Scotland
:21:58. > :22:08.deserved a place. -- you would have thought it Scotland deserved a
:22:08. > :22:11.

:22:21. > :22:27.It seems to be one step forward and two steps backward poor Tony. --
:22:27. > :22:33.for Tony. It seems they cannot get all their players on the pitch at
:22:33. > :22:41.the same time. There are weaknesses there at the moment. One of the
:22:41. > :22:48.surprise result was at London Road. Peter The started the day bottom-
:22:48. > :22:53.of-the-table. What a goal this was. When they play against the top
:22:53. > :23:03.teams, they seemed to come out with fantastic performances and great
:23:03. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:21.Darren Ferguson will be asking his players why they can't do it
:23:21. > :23:28.against the mid-table to beat Labour table. They know they can
:23:28. > :23:36.play against the best sides, they just need the motivation.

:26:17. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:51.net. Vicente's first goal since March. He goes past the wall, past
:26:51. > :26:55.the goalkeeper. Who do you blame here? Maybe it is just a really
:26:55. > :27:03.well free -- a well taken free kick by Vicente. I would not say I am
:27:03. > :27:07.happy, I was saying we need to make the difference, the extra bit of
:27:07. > :27:17.quality to score the goal and dominate completely the game. It
:27:17. > :27:17.
:27:17. > :27:21.did not happen. It was a 5050 game, because we needed to win. We took
:27:21. > :27:26.an extra risk. Luckily it worked for us today. The game came to live
:27:26. > :27:30.in the second half. The first half was a nonentity, really, but the
:27:30. > :27:34.second half was a really good game. That frustration is we have had the
:27:34. > :27:38.best chances that their goalkeeper deservedly wins man of the match
:27:39. > :27:44.with two excellent saves. The one from a Elmohamady is a great save,
:27:44. > :27:47.which ultimately won them the game. Unfortunately the referee's missed
:27:47. > :27:51.the blatant pushing in the wall but it is difficult to give that
:27:51. > :27:59.decision. Overall, frustration, because the second half I thought
:27:59. > :28:04.They had their chances. It was always going to be decided on an
:28:04. > :28:08.error, or a set piece. That is how it turned out. I felt that. In the
:28:08. > :28:13.first half, Brighton had the majority of possession. They pushed
:28:14. > :28:19.the wings back. And the second half, Elmohamady, Brady had the best
:28:19. > :28:24.chances, which is what Steve was alluding to. The one laid down to
:28:24. > :28:28.his right was absolutely outstanding. You felt an
:28:28. > :28:31.opportunity from a set piece, that is what happened. I am not sure
:28:31. > :28:35.where we sit in the legalities are in terms of the free kick. What did
:28:35. > :28:41.you make of it? It is something you see every day, somebody squeezing
:28:41. > :28:47.the wall out of the way. It is an old tactic, used many times. It is
:28:47. > :28:51.used to great effect. He should do better with the save. I know that
:28:51. > :28:55.Steve is upset the referee did not spot a foul, but he should be upset
:28:55. > :29:00.with his goalkeeper as well. puts Brighton back into the mix.
:29:00. > :29:04.big result for Brighton. Guus was saying that that they needed to
:29:04. > :29:09.take more chances and they do, until the end of the season. The
:29:09. > :29:12.need get three. Games. If they get three or four on the trot, they
:29:13. > :29:16.will be in there. As for the five remaining games, there is only one
:29:16. > :29:20.place to start and that is at Ashton Gate, where Sean a crystal
:29:20. > :29:24.faced the club that sacked in six weeks ago, Nottingham Forest. Since
:29:24. > :29:30.his departure, Forest have replaced his replacement with Billy Davey's
:29:30. > :29:40.coming in for a second spell. The man who starts on Monday was
:29:40. > :29:45.
:29:45. > :29:50.O'Driscoll, he took the sweetest of revenge is here. Forest, the third
:29:50. > :29:54.manager arriving on Monday, Billy Davies, almost opened the scoring.
:29:55. > :29:59.The second half had barely got under way, when City had the lead.
:29:59. > :30:06.The Forest back line looking wouldn't as the corner was
:30:06. > :30:12.collected. He flicked the defected to shot. Much rejoicing at Ashton
:30:12. > :30:19.Gate and somewhere, a jilted manager smiling. Forest piled heat
:30:19. > :30:24.on. There was a brilliant reaction save. City made it two. Another set
:30:24. > :30:28.piece from Pierson, this time finding Martin Elliott, who
:30:28. > :30:35.celebrated his 200th appearance for the club in style. There is a
:30:35. > :30:40.chance the Robins may not be heading south this summer after all.
:30:40. > :30:43.We look at league tables, all I can do is worry about how the team
:30:43. > :30:50.performs. If we perform well enough we will give ourselves a chance and
:30:50. > :30:56.if we don't, we will not. Following his two goals for England's Under
:30:56. > :30:59.21s in midweek, the stage was set for Ince to help himself against an
:30:59. > :31:07.out-of-sorts Millmoor. Their shortcomings were exemplified by
:31:07. > :31:12.this early miss. The Lions did take the lead soon afterwards. Henry's
:31:13. > :31:18.corner flying straight in to break the alliance' four game scoring
:31:18. > :31:21.duck. They needed the luck because the ball will not go in at the
:31:22. > :31:25.moment. The woodwork remained Blackpool's best player. That was
:31:25. > :31:32.until they gave him as the ball. It was inevitable he would have his
:31:32. > :31:36.say, sooner or later. He usually does. This equaliser was his 6th
:31:36. > :31:41.goal in four games. Blackpool keeping hold of him in January was
:31:41. > :31:47.more valuable than any new signing. He almost added to his tally. He
:31:47. > :31:54.nearly finished this move. In truth, both of these sides have been in
:31:54. > :31:59.different -- in indifferent form this -- they have been in
:31:59. > :32:03.indifferent form recently. They won the game with a composed finish.
:32:03. > :32:10.The same could not be set up the other end, when Millwall had one
:32:10. > :32:18.more opportunity to showcase their rotten luck in front of goal. The
:32:18. > :32:23.Lions had another one of those games. Shown great character to
:32:23. > :32:27.come back. Ince again is on fire at the moment. He has taken his goal
:32:27. > :32:33.fantastically. We had to get the spark from the bench. We have
:32:33. > :32:43.conceded a late goal and then hit the bar, 93 or 94 minutes. We were
:32:43. > :32:47.unlucky to lose the game today. Wolves found Neil Warnock's leads
:32:47. > :32:51.in unforgiving mood. Form and confidence have been in short
:32:51. > :32:55.supply at Molineux and an offside decision in the first half against
:32:55. > :33:00.Ebanks-Blake added to the frustration. But come the second
:33:00. > :33:06.half, release and relief at last. The home crowd seized on a piece of
:33:06. > :33:10.good fortune. Ward's cross was turned into his own net by Peltier.
:33:10. > :33:15.Leeds steadied themselves, then pressed the accelerator. First a
:33:15. > :33:21.shot by Norris was blocked, but McCormack insured Barney was in
:33:21. > :33:31.position to finish expertly -- Barnett. Next come a penalty. Leeds
:33:31. > :33:32.
:33:32. > :33:36.in the need. -- a lead. McCormack missing with illness, appeared to
:33:36. > :33:41.have clinched a important win for Leeds was 12 minutes left. That is
:33:41. > :33:48.how it stayed until two minutes into stoppage time, when 22-year-
:33:48. > :33:53.old Batth chose his moment for his first Wolves goal. A point rescued
:33:53. > :33:57.to keep the club out of the bottom three, only on goal difference.
:33:57. > :34:01.deserved to win. We played really well, I thought. The referee gives
:34:01. > :34:08.them a penalty, which is never a penalty. We have conceded the first
:34:08. > :34:12.goal from a goal kick and we have got to defend better. Things are
:34:12. > :34:16.finally looking up for Blackburn. Saturday saw the debut of QPR
:34:16. > :34:19.Lownie DJ Campbell and when you are trying to change your record, who
:34:19. > :34:23.better than a DJ. Plus a third straight win four Michael
:34:23. > :34:28.Appleton's side. The first 45 minutes did not see either side
:34:28. > :34:32.must a shot on target. This was as close as it came. After Campbell
:34:32. > :34:37.came on and in the second half, Rovers stepped up a gear, and took

:34:43. > :34:47.the scoresheet. Did it take a touch off the keeper, Henderson, or did
:34:47. > :34:55.Jordan Rhodes score? Rhodes has it for now and he had the chance to
:34:55. > :34:58.add another one. Henderson deflecting in the right direction.
:34:58. > :35:02.Mick McCarthy's side have battled hard and as the game drew to a
:35:02. > :35:07.closed, they almost got an equaliser. The volley flew inches

:35:12. > :35:16.for Michael Appleton at his new new club. It was always going to be
:35:16. > :35:19.tight, we knew that. They are coming in off the back of a 4-0
:35:19. > :35:23.victory, so they are full of confidence. We kept another clean
:35:23. > :35:27.sheet, which was crucial because that is what has one of the game.
:35:27. > :35:32.It is a good enough performance to come away with something. It is
:35:32. > :35:40.calling that we got nothing from it. -- disappointing that we got
:35:40. > :35:44.nothing for it. A familiar sight for Charlton fans. Jack Butler
:35:44. > :35:48.and's fingertips prevented the addicts from going ahead. Where the
:35:48. > :35:53.chances came, Charlton could not put them away. Wilson headed wide
:35:53. > :35:56.as the home team struggled to make the breakthrough. In fairness to
:35:56. > :36:00.Chris Powell's men, they were up against a goalkeeper of Premier
:36:00. > :36:03.League quality. He was demonstrating what a bargain buy he
:36:03. > :36:08.has bestowed. With Charlton equidistant from the play-offs and
:36:08. > :36:12.the bottom three, it was thought this game might determine which of
:36:12. > :36:17.those dotted lines they would be preoccupied with between now and
:36:17. > :36:20.the end of the season. Kermorgant's goal looked like providing momentum.
:36:20. > :36:23.This was the third game in the row where Charlton have surrendered a
:36:23. > :36:29.winning position. They could have had nine points. Instead, just the
:36:29. > :36:33.one. Elliott's injury-time equaliser keeps the Addicks closer
:36:33. > :36:38.to the bottom than the top. performance from the players was
:36:38. > :36:42.good but we came begins to keeper that was imperious form. -- we came
:36:42. > :36:46.up against a keeper in imperious form. You can see why he is
:36:46. > :36:50.destined for the Premier League and bitter -- bigger things. My players
:36:50. > :37:00.kept cool, which they have done on many occasions and got a positive
:37:00. > :37:03.
:37:03. > :37:06.Let's focus on Ashton Gate, lots of sub-plots between the teams. Sean
:37:06. > :37:11.O'Driscoll talked about Forest. He said they were a fantastic club, a
:37:11. > :37:14.fantastic support base, fantastic players. All they need are
:37:14. > :37:19.fantastic owners. That clearly shows you that what happened on
:37:19. > :37:23.Boxing Day did scar him. Yes, those scars have not healed and they will
:37:23. > :37:26.not for a long time so that result will give him a certain amount of
:37:26. > :37:30.satisfaction, I am sure. He will know the job in hand is the most
:37:30. > :37:34.important one and he has to put it behind him. Nottingham Forest have
:37:34. > :37:40.lost their last three games. In comes Bette Davis, we know about
:37:40. > :37:46.the success he has had at Forest. - - Billy Davies. Will he be given
:37:46. > :37:51.time? He will be given time. There has been turmoil. He needs to set
:37:51. > :37:57.his actions in place. He has organised. Thorough. Very thorough.
:37:57. > :38:02.He watches DVDs, he will take time. He got them out of relegation
:38:02. > :38:07.trouble, play-offs two seasons on the trot and he will have that time.
:38:07. > :38:10.We saw Wolves Peter Blake point against Leeds. Encouragement from
:38:10. > :38:12.what Dean Saunders saw on Saturday but only goal difference separates
:38:12. > :38:17.them and the bottom three, considering the bottom three all
:38:17. > :38:22.picked up wins on Saturday. It was their worst case scenario. It was.
:38:22. > :38:26.When Dean took the job, he said we only needed a few wins to get in
:38:26. > :38:30.the play-offs. That was the wrong attitude. We have seen bigger clubs
:38:30. > :38:33.go down that Wolves going to lead one. You have to get a Foundation
:38:33. > :38:36.and move forward. I don't think there was a foundation there. They
:38:36. > :38:40.need to get it into place to get them moving forward, because I have
:38:40. > :38:45.not seen it. It is a question of character for the players, who will
:38:45. > :38:49.not be used to being in relegation in this division. You have got it
:38:49. > :38:52.absolutely right. There is no doubt about the players'' ability but in
:38:52. > :38:56.this division you have to show character week-in and week-out and
:38:56. > :39:01.they have not adjusted to that. If they want to stay in the division,
:39:01. > :39:07.they need to adjust quickly. As the League One it has been a case of so
:39:07. > :39:12.far, as so good for Doncaster. Having spent time with the Welsh
:39:12. > :39:16.national set-up, the 57-year-old has taken the plunge back into

:40:49. > :40:55.Stevenage game. Then the following week he asked us to take over as
:40:55. > :40:59.full-time manager. Has it changed much, do you think? There is a
:40:59. > :41:02.difference between traditional and old fashioned. Traditional things
:41:02. > :41:07.always work. If you bury your head in the sand, that is old fashioned.
:41:07. > :41:16.You will not win anything. I keep moving with the times in the
:41:16. > :41:23.football world. In stark con contrast to his manager Rob Jones
:41:23. > :41:33.was described as Doncaster's best signing since Alec Jeffrey. Having
:41:33. > :41:39.joined the club at the same time as Brian Flynn that his popularity has
:41:39. > :41:45.led to today being named after him. You think, is it going to overcome
:41:45. > :41:50.my football. If I feel that, I will take a back seat. I will go back to
:41:50. > :41:56.playing. I'm loving every minute at it. He made a bigger impact this
:41:56. > :42:01.year on the field. She wants to be learning his trade. I want to get
:42:01. > :42:06.the two of you standing side by side. He stands at distance
:42:06. > :42:12.sometimes. When we are at meeting I insist we are sat down. Do you get

:43:33. > :43:38.back to what we were doing good. That will happen. If we look back

:43:42. > :43:47.blindside? We will keep under the radar. We have been on a decent run.
:43:47. > :43:52.The players are playing with confidence and belief. We were
:43:52. > :43:58.excellent in the second-half today and deserved the win. Walsall are

:44:02. > :44:06.consecutive defeats. Bags of experience. He will not push any
:44:06. > :44:11.panic buttons? No. After the Bury game he said they were the best
:44:11. > :44:15.team in the division. That was a message for his players. It was a
:44:15. > :44:19.dangerous thing to say. When you come up against Walsall, the form
:44:19. > :44:22.team in the division, you could be made to look silly. That happened

:50:28. > :50:33.them in the race for the play-offs. They enjoyed a spot of luck here.
:50:33. > :50:38.Elliott's shot summed up Coventry's week, back-to-back home defeats

:54:01. > :54:06.lively game. Before half-time McGovern went close with this shot.
:54:06. > :54:09.Symington did something similar in the second-half. Carlisle climb
:54:09. > :54:16.further away from trouble. They record back-to-back wins for only
:54:16. > :54:23.the second time this season. Having waited four months for a home win,
:54:23. > :54:28.Scunthorpe made it two in the space of five days despite Sparrow
:54:28. > :54:37.putting Crawley ahead on his first return since leaving three years

:55:17. > :55:21.after losing nine straight. Massey tried his luck. Something which
:55:21. > :55:26.Preston are in need of. Their recent run is testing the patience
:55:26. > :55:29.of their supporters. When Sears arrived on the scene to give
:55:29. > :55:38.Colchester the lead it did little to brighten their mood. That is

:55:48. > :55:52.
:55:52. > :55:59.to level the scores. Bailey Wright was dismissed. The Australian
:55:59. > :56:07.failed to learn his lesson. He got involved with Ibehre in an off the

:58:42. > :58:49.straight for the off. Mark Byrne had Chris Neal scrambling across
:58:49. > :58:53.his goal, who recovered well to keep out yet on. They were a
:58:53. > :58:57.nuisance in the second half, getting fingertips to this effort.
:58:57. > :59:01.Failing to take those chances almost backfired. Pope went close
:59:01. > :59:06.to grabbing a winner but Barnet are out of the relegation zone.
:59:06. > :59:09.league tables are based on your form in 30 games we have had so far
:59:09. > :59:14.and it will tell you that we have done very, very well and Barnet,
:59:14. > :59:17.not so well. But today, I think it showed the strength of the league,
:59:17. > :59:21.that anybody on their day can possibly beat anybody else and when
:59:21. > :59:26.you come to places like this, particularly a team at the top of
:59:26. > :59:31.the league, you have to roll up your sleeves and dig deep. Phil
:59:31. > :59:34.Parkinson taking the applause as he arrived at Valley Parade. This was
:59:34. > :59:39.Bradford's last home match before the trip to Wembley and they had
:59:39. > :59:45.the best of the early chances. Jones was close to opening the
:59:45. > :59:49.scoring. Nelson was recalled to the Phantom menace. Gillingham haven't
:59:50. > :59:55.had a single shot on goal in the first half, but in the second, they
:59:55. > :00:01.opened the scoring. MacDonald made it pay. The Gills Beck Row, on
:00:01. > :00:05.their way to a tense away victory. Bradford battled to find an
:00:05. > :00:09.equaliser and nearly had it. There was an inviting cross for James
:00:09. > :00:16.Hanson, but the League Cup hero somehow put it wide and it was the
:00:16. > :00:20.visitors who reigned at the parade. Cheltenham have never previously
:00:20. > :00:24.lost to Dagenham in any competition but the home side gave what it --
:00:24. > :00:31.warning of what was coming in a goalless first half. After the
:00:32. > :00:39.restart, the breakthrough. A patient build-up, pinpoint finish
:00:39. > :00:44.by how all. It should have been 2-0 soon after, when Elliott Sir --
:00:44. > :00:48.fouled Saunders. But Williams' previous talent for placement
:00:48. > :00:53.deserted him and brown save 12. With a draw to play for, Brown
:00:53. > :00:55.appeared at the other end but his touch was not so effective and
:00:55. > :01:00.Cheltenham's first defeat in six dropped them out of the automatic
:01:00. > :01:04.promotion places. No one comes out with any credit. Me, I have got a
:01:04. > :01:12.few things wrong by the look of it. We did not really get started.
:01:12. > :01:17.Credit to Dagenham, but we were poor today. Burton hold the best
:01:17. > :01:22.home record in League Two and the hosts denied awayday specialists
:01:22. > :01:26.Rotherham a strip -- a 5th straight league win on the road in a stormy
:01:26. > :01:31.affair. Kee set them on the way to victory before a first major
:01:31. > :01:36.incident involving referee Eddie Ilderton arrived. The official was
:01:36. > :01:39.not in Steve Evans' could box. His first cause for complaint came when
:01:39. > :01:47.Noble was cautioned for the second time in just five minutes before
:01:47. > :01:51.half-time. The ten men did almost level when Nardiello crossed, who
:01:51. > :01:53.was repelled by Tomlinson. The visitors had one of the best
:01:53. > :01:57.records and the Football League for coming from behind to snatch
:01:57. > :02:02.something but the game looked up when Kee struck again, ten minutes
:02:02. > :02:07.into the second half. Evans' mood was not improved four minutes from
:02:07. > :02:12.the end, when O'Connor saw red for a tangle. The Millers' manager says
:02:12. > :02:17.he will speak to the FA about the official on Monday. Sold was not
:02:17. > :02:21.rub it in his perceived wound from the spot, as they were prevented
:02:21. > :02:25.from scoring. While Evans is pursuing his grievances through the
:02:25. > :02:35.official channels, the travelling fans decided to vent their anger in
:02:35. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :02:44.a much more inappropriate manner. and must still be wondering how
:02:44. > :02:49.they did not win. Paul Sturrock will be just as confused after
:02:49. > :02:53.watching Southend struggle for the best part of an hour. Gray gave
:02:53. > :02:56.Stanley a deserved lead with their second League goal this year. If
:02:56. > :03:01.Sturridge was perplexed by Southend's lethargic display, he
:03:01. > :03:04.must have been at his wit's end when Cresswell decided to flatten
:03:04. > :03:09.Stanley's goalscorer. An ugly episode that could have only one
:03:09. > :03:16.outcome. Cresswell was shown a straight red card, but strangely
:03:16. > :03:20.that gave them an edge they needed. Hurst usually creates goals but for
:03:20. > :03:26.once, nicked one himself to square the scores. That fierce drive a
:03:26. > :03:32.real blow for Liam Richardson's men, who have now just 11 of their last
:03:32. > :03:41.seven games. Smith was in stubborn mood. Hughes failed to put away the
:03:41. > :03:46.rebound. How about this for a move from
:03:46. > :03:49.Morecambe? A glorious display of fast paced passing at the Globe
:03:49. > :03:54.Arena, for what would surely rank as the goal of the weekend, if only
:03:54. > :04:02.he had scored it. Instead, it was Exeter who took the lead. A
:04:02. > :04:06.through-ball to Cureton and he slid past the keeper. Exeter were beaten
:04:06. > :04:13.3-0 end-September and it was like that they had a point to prove in
:04:13. > :04:19.this one. Five minutes from time, they added another. Davies score.
:04:19. > :04:29.Cureton added a third, the goal machine grabbing his 18th of the
:04:29. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:32.season and ceiling Morecambe's first home defeat since September.
:04:32. > :04:36.Northampton's home form has been a key reason for the challenge for
:04:36. > :04:42.the play-offs and home advantage told again after half an hour.
:04:42. > :04:47.Platt scored against his former club. The keeper fumbled at the
:04:47. > :04:52.crucial moment. Neat -- Lee Nicol was on top form, Donnelly did
:04:52. > :04:59.everything right for the visitors except score. Rochdale were not
:04:59. > :05:04.discouraged. There was no answer to Kennedy's twist and turn and
:05:04. > :05:09.Macintyre's cross, 20 minutes into the second half. Almost immediately
:05:09. > :05:14.Northampton were Back in Front. Langmead's touch was decisive for
:05:14. > :05:22.his 5th league goal of the season. Still, the home side were not
:05:22. > :05:31.finished. The run ended in a heat with Macintyre. Akinfenwa coolly
:05:31. > :05:38.stroked in the penalty to send Aidy Boothroyd's team up to six the. --
:05:38. > :05:41.sixth. Assistant manager Sean Taylor felt
:05:41. > :05:48.that Torquay had not had a better first half this or last season, but
:05:48. > :05:54.they still trail that the break. Parkin scored for the 5th game
:05:54. > :05:58.running. It was going to be tough after that, as Fleetwood had kept
:05:59. > :06:03.the most clean sheets in the division this season. Davies was
:06:03. > :06:09.tested. Brown could have made it more comfortable for the Konzani
:06:09. > :06:19.but the find he made -- keeping came from Pope. Torquay failed to
:06:19. > :06:23.score at home for the second time this season. Chesterfield needed to
:06:23. > :06:27.win to stay in the play-off place so a visit from the Football
:06:27. > :06:30.League's bottom club represented a good good opportunity. Alexander
:06:30. > :06:37.gave them a gentle reminder not take them lightly. Having gone to
:06:37. > :06:40.the Breakell Square, the Spireites took the lead on the hour mark.
:06:40. > :06:45.Gnanduillet scored his first goal in English football. Just what they
:06:45. > :06:49.needed after tasting success just once in six previous outings.
:06:49. > :06:53.Lester set about increasing the lead. The veteran striker not quite
:06:53. > :07:00.on the mark that time, but he soon had another site -- another sight
:07:01. > :07:05.of goal. This time, Lester hit the spot, racking up his mindth of the
:07:05. > :07:15.campaign, all scored at home, to keep Chesterfield and the hunt --
:07:15. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:23.home before this one, but Ward's fast-improving Rovers had them
:07:23. > :07:30.cursing. Be the first half, with a good defending. It was Montrose was
:07:30. > :07:35.a reminder that you park at your own risk. Rovers took control in
:07:35. > :07:40.the second half, cheered on by a travelling contingent of 2000 fans.
:07:40. > :07:48.After having one successful kick pulled back for encroachment, Brown
:07:48. > :07:54.cent the keeper the wrong way the second time. The Oxford manager
:07:55. > :08:02.through on another player, who almost scored. Rovers doubled their
:08:02. > :08:12.lead. A quickly taken free kick and Richards went one-on-one with the
:08:12. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:22.keeper and Richards sealed Rovers' six when. -- win.
:08:22. > :08:25.Here is a coach with a difference. The York manager Gary Mills made
:08:26. > :08:30.his squad walked the last part of the journey as punishment for last
:08:30. > :08:33.week's 4-1 home defeat. I wonder if they walked all the way home as
:08:33. > :08:38.well because we come were ahead after less than three minutes and
:08:38. > :08:48.the result never looked in doubt. Morgan was at the centre of the
:08:48. > :08:49.
:08:49. > :08:56.action. There was a penalty. York rallied, well, they did not concede
:08:56. > :09:02.a game until first-half stoppage Town -- time. Morgan did it from
:09:02. > :09:05.the spot, his 5th goal in the league. Things only got worse for
:09:05. > :09:11.your car after the break. Even they might appreciate one of the goals
:09:11. > :09:16.of the day by Grant, for number three. Another to add to his back
:09:16. > :09:26.catalogue showing his trademark stopover. No. Four was more
:09:26. > :09:26.
:09:26. > :09:34.straightforward. Skill when's corner followed by when Phil's head.
:09:34. > :09:37.-- Scowen. The term relegation six-pointer had
:09:37. > :09:43.been bandied around a lot ahead of this one and Plymouth settled their
:09:43. > :09:48.nerves early on as on-loan Crystal Palace man Banton opened his
:09:48. > :09:55.pilgrims account. Aldershot were level soon after and it is unlikely
:09:55. > :10:01.that Vincenti would score an easier goal in his career. Danny Hilton's
:10:01. > :10:06.effort was perfectly parried into his path. Banton was to be the
:10:06. > :10:11.Plymouth hero, as he backed two against a back line that had hit
:10:11. > :10:14.four clean sheets in the last six games. There were chances for the
:10:14. > :10:18.shots to draw level on a number of occasions. A couple of
:10:18. > :10:25.opportunities fell to Rose. The frame of the goal denying him the
:10:25. > :10:35.first time, before Branston was in the right place at the right time
:10:35. > :10:48.
:10:48. > :10:54.Burton up to third. Striking up that partnership that we saw
:10:54. > :11:02.working so well at Accrington Stanley? Good to see him fit and
:11:02. > :11:07.strong. Michael Symes. It was behind his thinking to get them two
:11:07. > :11:13.back to together. With Zola out there, they are good people to turn
:11:13. > :11:23.to in that situation. At Rotherham we saw incidents we don't want to
:11:23. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:33.see too often, if at all of course. When he took over Bristol Rovers
:11:33. > :11:38.couldn't win a game. They are now organised. He has some good players
:11:38. > :11:44.in like O'Toole in midfield thesm have belief now. The most
:11:44. > :11:49.impressive transformation is at Wycombe and what Gareth Ainsworth
:11:49. > :11:53.has done? Unbelievable. Top half of the table. They are winning games.
:11:53. > :11:59.Gareth is full of enthusiasm. I thought was the most difficult club
:11:59. > :12:04.to take over. He has galvanised the players. They are on a roll. He has
:12:04. > :12:13.done a terrific job. A thumping win done a terrific job. A thumping win
:12:13. > :12:16.With Cardiff only drawing at Huddersfield, none of the teams
:12:16. > :12:20.below them could capitalize as they extend their lead to 11 points at
:12:20. > :12:21.the top of the NPower Championship. All of the top six failed to win
:12:22. > :12:24.with Leicester, Hull and Middlesbrough all losing.
:12:25. > :12:27.Brighton in seventh close the gap on Boro, while Blackburn climb five
:12:27. > :12:31.places and are now only four points off the top six.
:12:31. > :12:33.A good day for those at the foot of the Championship table, with all of
:12:34. > :12:36.the bottom three winning. Wolves picked up a late point,
:12:37. > :12:40.which means they just stay out of the drop-zone on goal difference.
:12:40. > :12:42.Ipswich, a place above them, were the only team in the bottom 11 to
:12:42. > :12:44.lose. Tranmere stay top of NPower League
:12:45. > :12:48.One despite losing for a second consecutive week, as did Doncaster.
:12:48. > :12:50.Swindon and Bournemouth both move to within one point of the top two,
:12:50. > :12:53.while just five points separate the top seven.
:12:53. > :12:55.Hartlepool stay bottom of League One, but are improving, as they are
:12:55. > :12:58.unbeaten in three now. Portsmouth lose for a club record-
:12:58. > :13:02.equaling ninth time with their situation looking worse by the week.
:13:02. > :13:05.The three teams above Bury all won. The bottom 10 stay as they were.
:13:05. > :13:08.Port Vale remain top of the NPower League Two, but Gillingham have cut
:13:08. > :13:11.their lead to two points with the Gills playing a game less.
:13:11. > :13:13.Burton move up into the top three with just four points separating
:13:13. > :13:16.them and Fleetwood, who are in eight.
:13:16. > :13:19.AFC Wimbledon stay at the bottom of League Two after losing, Aldershot
:13:19. > :13:21.drop back into the bottom 2 with Barnet moving out.
:13:21. > :13:24.Accrington drop a place, while Plymouth move up two places.
:13:24. > :13:29.Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers have now moved five points clear of the drop
:13:29. > :13:33.moved five points clear of the drop zone.
:13:33. > :13:35.Well, that's nearly it from us, but Well, that's nearly it from us, but
:13:35. > :13:38.a couple of reminders before we go. There's more Six Nations rugby on
:13:38. > :13:40.Sunday as Ireland meet England in Dublin, both sides having won their
:13:40. > :13:44.openers. Live coverage starts at 2.25pm.
:13:44. > :13:48.Later join Colin Murray for Match of the Day 2 at 10.00pm on BBC Two.
:13:48. > :13:51.of the Day 2 at 10.00pm on BBC Two. Thanks to Leroy.
:13:51. > :13:53.Before we go though, we can't sign- off without paying tribute to one
:13:53. > :13:57.of our own. Commentator David Oates tragically
:13:57. > :14:00.died last week. David was a big Blackpool fan and
