delivery. Grant threw up an arm and Craig Conway, with the goal of a

:17:38.:17:45.

champion, a would be champion. Splendidly shaped strike. This

:17:45.:17:52.

Premier League team in waiting has a goal of top, top quality. Just

:17:52.:18:02.
:18:02.:18:09.

another one. Urgent times for Sean dch yche. -- Dyche. Marney went to

:18:10.:18:16.

ground. It is he who will have his name taken. Desperate attempts to

:18:17.:18:22.

win a penalty that Burnley so need. Marney's clear assertion is that

:18:22.:18:32.
:18:32.:18:39.

there were no display here. A chance. Denied by a terrific stop

:18:39.:18:48.

by David Marshal. Barely worked at all today. Then one called upon,

:18:48.:18:58.
:18:58.:19:02.

face-to-face with Danny Ings. He produced a great stop. Trippier to

:19:02.:19:10.

redeliver. Chance, goal! Massive goal, David Edgar. A point,

:19:10.:19:17.

potentially, of salvation for Burnley. Delivered by Trippier.

:19:17.:19:23.

Edgar was there to steal a vital equaliser. A goal of vast

:19:23.:19:29.

importance from the Canadian. It might be the goal that keeps them

:19:29.:19:37.

up come the final adding up. He only needs this point to be

:19:37.:19:47.
:19:47.:19:48.

champions. Champions! It is a Cardiff core nation. They are

:19:48.:19:53.

taking the classy route to the Premier League. Promoted on Tuesday.

:19:53.:19:58.

Crowned Kings of the League on Saturday. The top team in the

:19:58.:20:04.

English football league is Welsh. It is Cardiff City. For whom this

:20:04.:20:09.

point, secured by Craig Conway's excellent first half goal is enough

:20:09.:20:17.

to ensure they will finish top. Final score Burnley 1, Cardiff 1.

:20:17.:20:22.

It is a tight League. It's being as consistent as you can. Looking at

:20:22.:20:26.

the game six inches in front of your face. We have been very

:20:27.:20:30.

consistent. I have a great group of players who have worked ever so

:20:30.:20:34.

hard. At times we have dug in and other times we have been flamboyant.

:20:35.:20:40.

We have mixed it up as the season has gone. The belief and will to

:20:40.:20:47.

win was evident second-half. We should have taken all three.

:20:47.:20:52.

their current form holds Brighton will take some stopping in the

:20:52.:20:55.

play-offs. Blackpool who got thumped in the sunshine. The home

:20:55.:21:03.

side were ahead after nine minutes. Buckley set the tone. The second

:21:03.:21:08.

arrived after 23 minutes. Blackpool seem happy to sit back and admire

:21:08.:21:13.

Brighton's sweet passing, Matthew Upson got his first goal for the

:21:13.:21:18.

club. Time for the deckchairs, not a bit of it. Before half-time it

:21:18.:21:26.

was 3-0. Ov rlandi exchanged passes before unleashing an arrowed finish.

:21:26.:21:30.

Blackpool looked sunk -- Orlandi. If they thought their hosts would

:21:31.:21:36.

ease up on the restart, they were in for a shock. Brighton were

:21:36.:21:42.

warming up. Lopez got number four, one minute into the second-half.

:21:42.:21:47.

Still the goals kept coming. All scored by Brighton players,

:21:47.:21:56.

including this full blooded headed by Dean Hammond, at the wrong end!

:21:56.:22:06.
:22:06.:22:07.

Far from being thrown off course, they found another gear. Lua Lua

:22:07.:22:12.

got space and Ashley Barnes Barnes made it 5-1, equalling Brighton's

:22:12.:22:19.

best win of the season. Still they weren't finished. Orlandi's cross

:22:19.:22:28.

was tucked in by Barnes. 6-1. The biggest victory seen at the Amex.

:22:28.:22:32.

They are after were motion. You said that sooner or later someone

:22:32.:22:38.

was going to cop it here, Blackpool did today? Yes, it was quite late.

:22:38.:22:42.

Everything worked very well for us. Beaten by a good side going for

:22:42.:22:48.

promotion. I hope they get promotion. Gus is a good friend of

:22:48.:22:52.

us. Fantastic stadium. Deserves to be in the Premiership. We are not

:22:52.:22:59.

at that stage yet. Brighton enjoyed three points and a welcome boost to

:22:59.:23:04.

their goal difference, fifth played sixth with promotion contenders

:23:04.:23:08.

playing their part in a terrific game of football. James came close

:23:08.:23:16.

to heading past his own-goal keeper. Another Dobbie free-kick was headed

:23:16.:23:22.

in by Gabbidon. Gabbidon's first in eight years. After one win from

:23:22.:23:26.

their last 10, Leicester were in danger of missing out in the play-

:23:26.:23:31.

offs. No sign of anxiety when they drew level 11 minutes later. Dyer's

:23:31.:23:38.

cross ended a slick passing move, finish by King. Palace were showing

:23:38.:23:43.

their cutting edge, Dobbie's free- kicks were a constant threat. They

:23:43.:23:48.

nearly got the lead going into the break. The theme continued in the

:23:48.:23:57.

second-half. Another Dobbie set- piece delivered to perfection.

:23:57.:24:07.
:24:07.:24:08.

Wilbraham beat the keeper, but not the crossbar. This goal midway

:24:08.:24:12.

through the second-half curling this effort past the keeper. While

:24:12.:24:17.

the cameraman struggled to keep up with an end to end game, Palace

:24:17.:24:26.

looked like -- likely to concede another goal. Chris Wood got his

:24:26.:24:30.

20th campaign. Still all to play for in the race for the play-offs.

:24:30.:24:35.

If we got a draw here on most occasions you would say it is a

:24:35.:24:39.

decent result. I think there are still a lot of positives to take

:24:39.:24:44.

forward into the last couple of games from today's efforts from the

:24:44.:24:49.

players and we know what we have to do over the next two games. In the

:24:49.:24:53.

dressing room it feels, oh, we might have got three points when we

:24:53.:25:01.

got in front. We will take that and get on with the next three games.

:25:01.:25:05.

Leicester dropping points gave bolt the opportunity to climb back into

:25:05.:25:09.

the top six. They face Middlesbrough whose promotion

:25:09.:25:13.

challenge fizzled out some time ago. There was no mistaking the side

:25:13.:25:23.
:25:23.:25:24.

with the momentum. Steele was force into a flying stop early on. Medo

:25:24.:25:29.

went closer. He got a better save from Steele, one that the Bolton

:25:29.:25:36.

man could hardly believe. This Eagles opener takes the business

:25:36.:25:42.

kit cut.he will claim to be aiming for the far goner, Middlesbrough

:25:42.:25:49.

will bemoan their good fortune. Six minutes later, Kieron Dyer was on

:25:50.:25:59.

the end of this cross. The game's turning point game moments later.

:25:59.:26:04.

Eagles slipped in, but to Middlesbrough's display a penalty

:26:04.:26:13.

was given and saw Woodgate as the cult operate. Sordell scored to

:26:13.:26:18.

give Bolton an eighth consecutive win. Middlesbrough finished the

:26:18.:26:25.

game with 10 men. Sordell got a yellow card. Bolton are back in the

:26:25.:26:28.

play-off place and could secure their participation next week.

:26:28.:26:33.

Credit to the players. I had high expectations. I believed in these

:26:33.:26:37.

players. That is why I came to this club. They are showing their

:26:37.:26:40.

qualities and determination to get into that top six. Right now

:26:41.:26:49.

momentum is with us. Any Forest fans dreaming of box office draws

:26:49.:26:54.

like Chelsea and Liverpool will be worried. Barnsley frustrated them.

:26:54.:27:04.

This header was the first of four Forest efforts to hit the woodwork.

:27:04.:27:10.

It was one way traffic towards the visitor's goal, Steel would not be

:27:10.:27:17.

beaten. Reid's cross was met by Steele. When Forest teed up Reid

:27:17.:27:23.

who got a shot past him, there was a post in the way. Billy Davis must

:27:23.:27:29.

have feared it wasn't going to be his side's day, not a goal to show

:27:29.:27:35.

for it. This header, Sharp's volley onto the post again. Barnsley were

:27:35.:27:42.

hanging on, grateful for an unexpected point. Reid's left boot

:27:42.:27:48.

tore meanted them. Sharp's header couldn't break the deadlock. Forest

:27:48.:27:55.

haven't won in five games in April. These players gave us everything.

:27:55.:27:59.

Absolutely everything they gave us. Bar twice, post twice, crosses,

:27:59.:28:04.

shots and everything. They gave us absolutely everything. If they give

:28:04.:28:08.

us what they gave us today, I'm sure we will win the next two

:28:08.:28:14.

matches. We weren't going to beat Nottingham Forest, we had to keep a

:28:14.:28:18.

cleansheet. Mission accomplished. They certainly did, hit the

:28:18.:28:22.

woodwork four times. What a great few days for Cardiff, were moated

:28:22.:28:27.

on Tuesday after half a decade. Now, they have a title on Saturday. How

:28:27.:28:37.
:28:37.:28:41.

impressed have you been by Malky McKay? Last season he built a

:28:41.:28:45.

really well organised team go the to the play-offs. They were

:28:45.:28:49.

embarrassed by West Ham thesm reactsed postively to that. He was

:28:49.:28:54.

given the backing and made fantastic signings along the staff

:28:54.:28:57.

there they have worked extremely hard and deserved the credit they

:28:57.:29:03.

will get. They have been far the best team this season. Promoted one

:29:03.:29:10.

month's head start for Cardiff. Lots for him to do. Great advantage.

:29:10.:29:14.

The play-off contenders, Brighton six goals against Blackpool. The

:29:14.:29:21.

most consistent side of those sides, alongside Bolton, six against

:29:21.:29:27.

Blackpool is perfect timing? Ashley Bairns comes back, when he was

:29:27.:29:33.

suspended we thought he might suffer. They didn't. He has led the

:29:34.:29:38.

line. He has had a rest. Other plays have come back in to

:29:38.:29:42.

supplement that squad. They are in a good place. His players are

:29:42.:29:50.

looking tired. Let's look at the play-off contenders. Bolton have it

:29:50.:29:56.

in their hands twofplt teams from four. Palace to Forest. I don't

:29:56.:30:01.

know who will get in there. What will be a factor are players'

:30:01.:30:11.
:30:11.:30:22.

availablity. Palace have some back is going down to the wire, three

:30:23.:30:26.

games to play. Wolves managed to climb out of the drop zone with a

:30:26.:30:33.

win on Tuesday. Earlier today, they travelled to Charlton. Dean Saunders

:30:33.:30:36.

called for another show of real character to follow that extinct

:30:36.:30:39.

result to follow that result at Hull on Tuesday but Charlton started

:30:39.:30:48.

Brighton. With nine first team players injured or suspended, Wolves

:30:48.:30:51.

were second best in a disjointed second half but they very nearly

:30:51.:30:57.

went ahead through Karl Henry's superhard -- superb 40 yarder. As

:30:57.:31:02.

scrappy goal as you have seen all season came midway through the

:31:02.:31:12.
:31:12.:31:13.

second half. Dorian Dervite took advantage of woeful defending from a

:31:13.:31:16.

corner. Three minutes later, Roger Johnson flicked on and -- --

:31:16.:31:18.

unbelievably long throw and it was in off the post. At this stage a

:31:18.:31:20.

point would see Wolves move out of the bottom three but Charlton were

:31:20.:31:24.

to land one final cruel blow. After a slick move down the left-hand

:31:24.:31:28.

side, Robinson did well to block the initial effort but there was

:31:28.:31:32.

Jonathan Obika in the right place to fire home. Charlton have an outside

:31:32.:31:38.

chance to make the play-offs. Wolves dropped back into the bottom three.

:31:38.:31:41.

For us to score near the end, the fans are getting their moneys worth.

:31:41.:31:45.

It is tremendous, three home wins after really struggling at home this

:31:45.:31:50.

season. It leaves a good taste in the mouth for everyone connected

:31:51.:31:55.

with Charlton. I would like to have got the job done today. We could

:31:55.:31:59.

have had two games where we needed one result, but it looks like we are

:32:00.:32:08.

going to need to. The fans of Birmingham and Leeds hoped to be

:32:08.:32:11.

celebrating more than mere survival this year, but difficult campaigns

:32:11.:32:17.

have left them grateful for small mercies. Morrison may only be on

:32:17.:32:21.

loan but he has enlivened Birmingham recently. Blues fans will hope to

:32:21.:32:24.

have another look at him next season. A blend of youth and

:32:24.:32:30.

experience, City had the best of the first half. Hayden Mullins went

:32:30.:32:35.

close. Leeds were looking for their third straight win under Brian

:32:35.:32:39.

McDermott, but Ross MacCormack's free kick is the best effort they

:32:39.:32:44.

could muster. Birmingham's age diversity brought them victory.

:32:44.:32:50.

Teenager Nathan Redmond with the shot, Hayden Mullins, 15 years his

:32:50.:32:55.

senior, making the most of the rebound. Leeds briefly threatened

:32:55.:33:00.

and recall I -- equaliser but it was kept out. Not the greatest game and

:33:00.:33:08.

not the best of seasons but plenty for both clubs to build on.

:33:08.:33:13.

You are safe but you should have got something from the game? It is good

:33:13.:33:20.

news, good news, we are safe. When we came here we had 52 points and

:33:20.:33:30.
:33:30.:33:31.

we've won two games. We can build now. It could go as far as 56 or 57

:33:31.:33:39.

point to be save or even a third bottom team. -- safe. We have got

:33:39.:33:42.

that out of the way and we can hopefully take maximum points to

:33:42.:33:50.

finish as high as we possibly can. With 38 years in management between

:33:50.:33:53.

them, Mick McCarthy and Dave Jones will hope next season continues

:33:53.:33:58.

their record of success. For now, this is about securing a place in

:33:58.:34:05.

the Championship. Ipswich are almost there. Pre-match McCarthy's team

:34:05.:34:08.

with a division's form side and looked like being extended.

:34:08.:34:15.

Wednesday's defence, Jay Tabb kept it simple, his first goal for the

:34:15.:34:22.

club. Wednesday's defence was caught flat-footed. Chris Kirkland was at

:34:22.:34:27.

full stretch. The home side teetering just below the bottom

:34:27.:34:30.

three nearly forced an equaliser just before half-time. Leroy Lita

:34:30.:34:35.

bought the best out of Scott Loach. Smith was on hand to clear.

:34:35.:34:41.

Wednesday and Leroy Lita were not denied for long. The cross fell

:34:41.:34:45.

perfectly and in went goal number five in 15 appearances. Leroy Lita

:34:45.:34:50.

thought he had scored number six. The striker made his role look easy

:34:50.:34:55.

but an official's flag ruled him offside. By the end, Wednesday were

:34:55.:35:01.

again indebted to Danny Pugh. Aaron Cresswell's throwing was flicked on

:35:01.:35:05.

and he was in the right place at the right time to secure an important

:35:05.:35:11.

point. Ipswich set their stall out to defend and try to capture is on

:35:11.:35:17.

the break, which should not happen to others but it did. You can't win

:35:17.:35:23.

it and certainly can't lose it. After starting the season with seven

:35:23.:35:28.

straight defeats, Peter Boro are making a strong finish in their bid

:35:28.:35:30.

for survival dash Peterborough United. They were on the back foot

:35:30.:35:35.

from the first whistle at pride Park. Craig Bryson broke through

:35:35.:35:45.
:35:45.:35:46.

before the break. The Ottl-macro -- the Rams were dominant. Chris Martin

:35:46.:35:50.

doubled the lead with a neat turn and left footed finish, before

:35:50.:35:56.

Richard Keogh rose highest. It was Derby's 16th corner of the

:35:56.:36:06.
:36:06.:36:10.

afternoon. Just after the hour, the referee had no choice but to send

:36:10.:36:16.

off the young keeper for a professional foul. His replacement

:36:16.:36:21.

could not quite get to fellow substitute's Grant McCann's well

:36:21.:36:27.

taken penalty. It never looked like being anything other than a

:36:27.:36:32.

comfortable derby win. A well taken goal was ruled offside. Derby are

:36:32.:36:38.

safe. Goal difference keeps Peterborough United above water for

:36:38.:36:43.

now. My players have been magnificent, I will not criticise

:36:43.:36:47.

them for one game even at this part of the season. We have had a right

:36:47.:36:52.

go at it and most teams would be out of it after losing the first seven

:36:52.:36:58.

games. It is still in our hands, which is pleasing. The worst goal

:36:58.:37:01.

difference in the Championship saw Huddersfield start the day in the

:37:01.:37:05.

relegation zone. That pressure brought the best out of the

:37:05.:37:09.

Terriers, who outplayed Millwall. Jermaine Beckford was at the centre

:37:09.:37:14.

of things. He forced a save out of David Ford early on. Jack Hunt was

:37:14.:37:19.

unable to turn in the rebound. Blink and you'll miss Millwall's best

:37:19.:37:26.

moment. James Henry curling free kick onto the woodwork. It was a bad

:37:26.:37:36.
:37:36.:37:39.

day for the Lions. Jermaine Beckford did a showstopping goal from a man

:37:39.:37:42.

dubbed unstoppable by Mark Robins. Huddersfield showed greater energy

:37:42.:37:48.

throughout and almost got a second before the break. Hunt was denied.

:37:48.:37:54.

The Lions keeper had his world -- work cut out. James Vaughan was

:37:54.:37:58.

running Beckford place for man of the match. He doubled the Terriers

:37:59.:38:07.

league ten minutes in the second half. The Norwich Looney got his

:38:07.:38:12.

tens of the season. Huddersfield three points clear of the drop zone.

:38:12.:38:17.

The Lions have games in hand but will have to do a lot better than

:38:17.:38:20.

this. The irrepressible Jermaine Beckford finished them off with his

:38:20.:38:30.
:38:30.:38:33.

register their biggest win of the season. It has Mark Robins all over

:38:33.:38:38.

it. Bristol City have showed they are not going to throw in the towel

:38:38.:38:41.

but his own club -- old club, Barnsley, Barnsley have everything

:38:41.:38:50.

to play for, as have Huddersfield, so it is a big game. We have seen

:38:50.:38:53.

Charlton continued their strong end to the season, unbeaten in six. What

:38:53.:39:03.
:39:03.:39:08.

a blow, for Wolves' survival hopes, winner in the 90th minute. Dean has

:39:08.:39:12.

got to pick them up again. They are a club under massive pressure and it

:39:12.:39:16.

is showing. He has lots of experience and it will be a

:39:16.:39:21.

devastating blow if there were to go near League one. Wolves one of three

:39:21.:39:27.

sides on 51 points. You have Peterborough. Barnsley, who got a

:39:27.:39:31.

good point against Nottingham Forest. It is an encouraging point,

:39:31.:39:36.

particularly after two demoralising results. It is a good result for

:39:36.:39:40.

Barnsley to get a clean sheet at Nottingham Forest. They finished on

:39:40.:39:44.

48 points last year and they were safe. It shows how much more

:39:44.:39:48.

difficult it is to stay in the division. 51 points you would think,

:39:48.:39:55.

would keep you safe. You need 55, or 56. The two teams that have come

:39:56.:39:59.

down from the Premier League, Blackburn and walls, 18 years ago

:39:59.:40:03.

the last side were Swindon who plummeted from the top flight to the

:40:03.:40:08.

third tier. I think the reason why, they have taken their eye off the

:40:08.:40:12.

ball. Both teams expected to bounce back and have made numerous changes

:40:12.:40:17.

and it has not worked out. They will have to stay in this division if

:40:17.:40:22.

they are to bounce back. How big was that point for Burnley? All the

:40:22.:40:25.

focus was in Cardiff but Edgar Davids came up with the point that

:40:25.:40:30.

lifted them, gave them leaving space. It has been a difficult job

:40:30.:40:35.

for him but everybody who has been in has been such a concertina at

:40:35.:40:41.

league, you think you are safe, you lose a couple of games you are out

:40:41.:40:47.

of it. Despite being reduced to nine men and missing a penalty at Bramall

:40:47.:40:52.

Lane, Brentford and a priceless draw on Tuesday to stay in the hunt for

:40:52.:40:55.

automatic promotional. Next was the trip to Teeside to face Hartlepool,

:40:55.:41:05.
:41:05.:41:23.

who slipped through the trapdoor in over the top. The first slave for

:41:23.:41:33.
:41:33.:41:58.

kicks, the -- the proposed -- the promotion push. Luke James has

:41:58.:42:02.

scored four Hartlepool United. They might be down but they have dealt a

:42:02.:42:12.
:42:12.:42:35.

huge blow to Brentford in their bid wonderful finish. Marcello Trotta

:42:35.:42:42.

has beaten Flinders, who was outstanding save was in the end in

:42:42.:42:52.
:42:52.:42:59.

is coming? It is going to be yellow but it looks on first viewing to be

:42:59.:43:05.

a pretty vicious one. That is a shocker, isn't it? That is proper

:43:05.:43:15.
:43:15.:43:36.

better team, had chances to win the game. I said to the lads there is no

:43:36.:43:40.

reason to get your heads down. We had a good week and put ourselves in

:43:40.:43:46.

a good position and everything is in our hands. The supporters want the

:43:46.:43:50.

club and it is going to have to be like that for the next game and for

:43:50.:43:56.

the whole of next year. Doncaster began the weekend as strong

:43:57.:44:01.

favourites for automatic promotion, but after Dean Leacock squandered a

:44:01.:44:05.

good early chance the Notts County it was the wayside who deservedly

:44:05.:44:10.

took the lead. Joss Labadie's magnificent 30 yarder arrived after

:44:10.:44:14.

14 minutes. His first since he returned from a loan spell at

:44:14.:44:17.

Torquay. Doncaster have been top for almost eight weeks, but they failed

:44:17.:44:23.

to slip into the usual rhythm. This shot cleared away by Jeff Hughes.

:44:23.:44:32.

Their best effort of a lacklustre first half. It was Billy Painter who

:44:32.:44:35.

returned to form with two goals at Crewe last weekend who was denied by

:44:35.:44:41.

Christian peers. Doncaster through their veteran goalkeeper forward

:44:41.:44:46.

late on but they need to avoid defeat in the automatic promotion

:44:46.:44:49.

showdown with Brentford next Saturday. Ella Bobbin it was always

:44:49.:44:54.

going to go down to the Brentford game, whatever happens today. It was

:44:54.:44:59.

going to be Brentford which is key. We prepare ourselves for that.

:44:59.:45:04.

was a good victory for us. We defended very well today. I have

:45:04.:45:07.

been asking the team to defend as a unit and I thought we were excellent

:45:07.:45:17.
:45:17.:45:28.

previous six and proved a real threat. Before the break, rattling

:45:28.:45:33.

the woodwork. Five minutes later, they were level. Former Aberdeen

:45:33.:45:36.

striker Lee Miller is out of contract this summer and a

:45:36.:45:42.

spectacular finish went on his negotiating position. His sixth

:45:42.:45:52.

goal in seven games. But they were only level four minutes. Jubilation

:45:52.:45:56.

around the golf stance as a record 8th successive win lifted the

:45:56.:46:00.

Cherries to the top of the table and more importantly, back to the

:46:00.:46:03.

second here for the first time since 1990. Brett Pitman rounded

:46:03.:46:07.

off the occasion, scoring in an 8th consecutive game to launch the

:46:07.:46:15.

promotion party. It has been a great day, another great day at the

:46:15.:46:19.

court. That is what she works so hard for, to see your own

:46:20.:46:23.

supporters as happy as that -- that is what she works so hard for. It

:46:23.:46:28.

means the world to me. This was a day for Portsmouth to

:46:28.:46:32.

celebrate. Ashley Brown from the Supporters Trust and that the new

:46:32.:46:35.

club chairmen took their bows before kick-off, and the players

:46:35.:46:42.

and the added to the mood of euphoria with a world wind first-

:46:42.:46:46.

half performance that will win. Three minutes after that, more

:46:46.:46:51.

celebrations. David Connolly swooping at the near post. All of

:46:51.:46:54.

those months of uncertainty and distress were being blown away in a

:46:54.:47:00.

blitz of goals, and with barely half-an-hour gone, Colin Lee --

:47:00.:47:03.

David Connolly to Wallace and Sheffield United were beaten.

:47:03.:47:07.

Portsmouth feeling on the up, even if they know they are going down.

:47:07.:47:12.

The fans needed that today. It was a euphoric day and that has put the

:47:12.:47:15.

icing on the cake. And the players, for the way they have laid

:47:15.:47:20.

themselves. I have had the job for three games and you look at the

:47:20.:47:22.

first two performances, and the first half performance wasn't a

:47:23.:47:26.

million miles away from what we have been, so we have to look at

:47:26.:47:31.

that and look at what changes we possibly need to make. We are not

:47:31.:47:35.

going to make any knee-jerk reactions, because we have a good

:47:35.:47:41.

group of players. Bournemouth's victory meant

:47:41.:47:47.

Yeovil's automatic promotion champ -- chances were over, but James 80

:47:47.:47:54.

setting up young defender Joe Edwards set them up for a victory

:47:54.:47:59.

over Crewe Alexandra. Yeovil continued to put together some

:47:59.:48:05.

excellent approach play. Crewe Alexandra have now lost all of

:48:05.:48:08.

their games since they won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, and even

:48:08.:48:11.

though they squandered a great chance to equalise, they needed a

:48:11.:48:18.

terrific goal line clearance to avoid a heavier defeat. Great stuff

:48:18.:48:24.

from that Lubbers, who could be hard to beat in the play-offs. --

:48:24.:48:29.

from the Glovers. So when did went into their final

:48:29.:48:32.

home game knowing victory would extend their season into the play-

:48:32.:48:38.

offs -- Swindon Town. The goal came from an unlikely source. Aidan

:48:38.:48:44.

fleet last celebrated a legal a year ago. The 23-year-old clearly

:48:44.:48:48.

had a taste for some goal action, and nearly had a second before the

:48:48.:48:54.

break, but credit to Chris Day, who clawed the ball to safety. But the

:48:54.:48:57.

contest got away from Graham Westley's team before the break.

:48:57.:49:05.

Danny Lowe has reacted after a clash between Flint and McCormack.

:49:05.:49:13.

The Spaniard seemed determined to have his say. In the second half,

:49:13.:49:18.

they made the most of the numerical advantage. Gary Roberts smartly

:49:18.:49:21.

shifted the ball to his right side before hitting the top corner of

:49:21.:49:27.

the net. Kevin MacDonald wants his team to carry some momentum into

:49:27.:49:31.

the play-offs. But when the visitors failed to clear, Darren

:49:31.:49:37.

Ward could not make them pay, but Flint that did, and Swindon have

:49:37.:49:45.

their top six finish. We were helped by the sending of

:49:45.:49:49.

but before then, I thought we were on top. It is never easy playing

:49:49.:49:54.

against 10 men, but the lads played very well today. I am very pleased

:49:54.:49:57.

for them and pleased for the football club.

:49:57.:50:00.

An impressive way for Swindon to seal their place in the play-offs,

:50:00.:50:06.

despite the injuries mounting up at the County Ground. What a story for

:50:06.:50:09.

Bournemouth, up into the second here for only the second side in

:50:09.:50:14.

their history and all this after winning one game in their first 11.

:50:14.:50:17.

Despite that managerial setbacks so early in his career, we are talking

:50:18.:50:22.

about Eddie Howe again. And so we should be, he took over when they

:50:22.:50:25.

were in the relegation zone. Brett Pitman has been coming back and

:50:25.:50:30.

scoring goals, but Eddie Howe has done a magnificent job. He likes to

:50:30.:50:34.

take over when they were in big trouble, they were facing

:50:34.:50:36.

administration and going out of business and they play some great

:50:36.:50:40.

football. It has been a funny few hours, I think is the most accurate

:50:40.:50:46.

way to describe it, for Portsmouth. A good win on Saturday and huge

:50:46.:50:51.

celebrations, despite relegation. Yes, relegated and deducted 10

:50:51.:50:54.

points and they are the happiest fans in the land, and so they

:50:54.:50:58.

should be. They have overcome some real adversity and Guy Whittingham

:50:58.:51:02.

epitomises everything about the club, they really care about it and

:51:02.:51:06.

whatever it takes, they will come at the other side. As for the

:51:06.:51:09.

battle for second place, it is tantalisingly close going into the

:51:09.:51:14.

final weekend. How about that, Brentford against Doncaster, the

:51:14.:51:17.

best home record against the best away record, you could not have

:51:17.:51:22.

scripted it better. Of course not. It is a massive setback to lose

:51:22.:51:26.

that game, Brentford do not have a great record in the play-offs, so

:51:26.:51:29.

it is a massive game. I have a feeling Brentford might get the

:51:29.:51:33.

resort. It is going to be the real cauldron of an atmosphere at

:51:33.:51:40.

Griffin Park. More from League One there, with Bury, Hartlepool and

:51:40.:51:42.

has been mentioned Art -- Portsmouth already down, Scunthorpe

:51:42.:51:47.

had to win their last two games and hope the sides above them slip up

:51:47.:51:50.

if they are to avoid being the 4th side relegated. The latest

:51:50.:52:00.
:52:00.:52:02.

games can save Scunthorpe. And just before half-time, they got the type

:52:02.:52:07.

of break that can turn a season. Jimmy Ryan got away from Darren

:52:07.:52:13.

Potter and Karl Hawley gave the side the crucial lead. In the

:52:13.:52:17.

second half, like the first, the United goalkeeper was the star,

:52:17.:52:23.

keeping MK Dons at bay. Saving from Potter and then Patrick Bamford on

:52:23.:52:29.

the follow-up. In fact, the home side were grateful for a post as

:52:29.:52:32.

Anthony Ford almost doubled Scunthorpe's advantage. Their

:52:32.:52:35.

battle to avoid the drop goes to the final game at home against

:52:35.:52:41.

Swindon. Walsall's sparkling end to the

:52:41.:52:46.

season had seen them rack up a 14 game unbeaten run and after

:52:46.:52:49.

teenager Clarke Harris went mighty close for bottom club Bury, they

:52:49.:52:53.

opened the scoring in a match which could have kept them in the hunt

:52:53.:52:59.

for the play-offs. A first goal in 13 matches. But with Swindon

:52:59.:53:03.

winning, this game turned out to be academic, and the same could be

:53:03.:53:09.

said about the equaliser. One of only two substitutes for a cash-

:53:09.:53:12.

strapped Bury side. Long-since relegated, but the gallant effort

:53:12.:53:17.

from Walsall. It is disappointing, because we wanted to hold up our

:53:17.:53:20.

end of the bargain and win the game and make Swindon have to win theirs,

:53:21.:53:26.

which they did, so it bears no significance, really, to reaching

:53:26.:53:34.

the play-offs. After last week's defeat at Crawley,

:53:34.:53:37.

commentary by Steven Pressley made four changes, and Darren

:53:37.:53:41.

Philliskirk was only denied a goal on his debut by Nathan Clarke.

:53:41.:53:45.

Another clean sheet for Leyton Orient. Their recent improvement

:53:45.:53:49.

came too late to affect the bail standings but they left with a

:53:49.:53:58.

third win in four outings, courtesy of Dean Cox.

:53:58.:54:02.

For so long the division's pace setters, Rovers are only just in

:54:02.:54:06.

the top 10. One of their former players John Welsh almost increased

:54:06.:54:11.

their pain, only to see his free kick rebound off the post. Bailey

:54:11.:54:17.

Wright looked to have headed an own goal past Declan road, only for

:54:17.:54:23.

John Welsh to spare his blushes on the road -- on the line. Joe Ghana

:54:23.:54:30.

and will a Hirst combined in the second half before presenting a

:54:30.:54:34.

chance. Preston remain unbeaten at home since Simon Grayson took

:54:34.:54:38.

charge. The last eight weeks have been an

:54:38.:54:42.

absolute nightmare. Today, at least we showed why we have been top of

:54:42.:54:46.

the Lea for such a long time. I thought today, they have given

:54:46.:54:50.

everything we have asked for. How we have lost the game, I will never

:54:50.:54:57.

know. Matt Smith's colt had secured back-

:54:57.:54:59.

to-back victories for Oldham and the man who scored against

:54:59.:55:05.

Liverpool and Everton in the FA Cup set the Latics on the way to a win

:55:05.:55:09.

that would dismiss any worries about relegation. It did not turn

:55:09.:55:15.

out to be the winner. Mark Connolly levelling up for Crawley, with just

:55:15.:55:20.

his second senior goal. They point would have been sufficient to

:55:20.:55:25.

effectively guarantee safety, but in stoppage time, old and grabbed

:55:25.:55:28.

the winner, and when it really mattered, the Oldham players have

:55:28.:55:34.

produced the goods. It is Everything, Julie elation, I am

:55:34.:55:40.

proud, and basically, we have to move on -- joy and elation. Well

:55:40.:55:45.

done to everyone, big pat on the back and a fantastic win and

:55:45.:55:48.

performance but it showed that mentally, we have gotten stronger

:55:48.:55:53.

as time has gone on. Colchester kicked off five points

:55:53.:55:58.

clear of the relegation zone. Shrewsbury were all but safe. That

:55:58.:56:01.

enabled Graham Turner to make six changes and David McAllister marked

:56:01.:56:07.

his recall by warming the hands of goalkeeper Sam Walker. Gavin Massey

:56:07.:56:12.

was unable to finish here, and the draw means the Essex then go to

:56:12.:56:15.

Carlisle on the final day still fighting for survival -- Essex men

:56:15.:56:25.
:56:25.:56:27.

relegation zone back in September, what the term. Yes, it is a great

:56:27.:56:31.

achievement in the first season back in the one to stay up, so well

:56:31.:56:36.

done to them. -- In League One. team who are feeling the pressure,

:56:36.:56:44.

but they have to win at MK Dons at Saturday, of Scunthorpe. -- had to

:56:44.:56:49.

win. They live to fight another day. Yes, I am very impressed with the

:56:49.:56:52.

way he goes all the way in and that sit on a plate for Karl Hawley.

:56:52.:56:57.

That is all they could achieve, taking it to the last day of the

:56:57.:57:00.

season and applying that pressure to Colchester. It still looks like

:57:00.:57:04.

they are up against it, but they have given themselves a chance.

:57:04.:57:08.

This illustrates what you're talking about, straight that

:57:08.:57:12.

ultimately between Scunthorpe and Colchester. Yes, and you look at

:57:12.:57:17.

the goal difference, a three goals wing. We have seen so many things

:57:17.:57:22.

this season, you can't rule it out. Certainly not at Colchester will be

:57:22.:57:26.

under pressure. They only managed to get a point today, not in great

:57:26.:57:31.

form and they have nothing to lose, Scunthorpe. Brian Laws knows that

:57:31.:57:34.

and if they do come out and get at the other side, it will be a

:57:34.:57:40.

massive achievement. On to lead to now, and the season wouldn't be the

:57:40.:57:43.

same without an annual end-of- season visits to Barnett that

:57:43.:57:53.

League Two. Having avoided that of a dog fight, they dropped back into

:57:53.:57:58.

the drop zone. But today, they welcomed Whickham for the last ever

:57:58.:58:05.

game at Underhill, and who would have thought the Barnet manager on

:58:05.:58:15.
:58:15.:58:17.

this occasion would be Edgar one of football's most famous Lopes

:58:17.:58:21.

was always going to be a gut- wrenching, heart rendering occasion

:58:21.:58:26.

-- famous slopes. Having exhausted every avenue to stay in the area,

:58:26.:58:35.

it is seven miles away at their state-of-the-art training ground

:58:35.:58:38.

that Barnet will kick off next season. The question is, which

:58:38.:58:44.

division will they be in? Banned for pastures new, but in familiar

:58:44.:58:49.

territory, despite their much improved form since the arrival of

:58:49.:58:53.

Edgar Davids. For the 4th season in succession, they are in it up to

:58:53.:58:58.

their necks and could even go down today. How do you cope with the

:58:58.:59:04.

strain and the pressure? How do you live with it? Look at me, I don't!

:59:04.:59:10.

I haven't slept for two days. It is a new beginning. This is the end,

:59:10.:59:14.

and for us it is the change of an era. We want to get through this

:59:14.:59:18.

season, and it is a shame that what should have been a celebration to

:59:18.:59:24.

date is being overshadowed by another relegation battle -- today.

:59:24.:59:31.

A how Liz Edgar Davids coping? is coping well. -- how is Edgar

:59:31.:59:34.

Danvers coping question of it is a new experience for him, he has been

:59:34.:59:39.

one of the world's greatest footballers. I used sad about

:59:39.:59:46.

today? It is a tragic day.-- Are You sad about today? But it is a

:59:46.:59:53.

good day as well. Every year, we just about pull it off, but today

:59:53.:59:57.

hope there isn't about relegation. I like to think that the players

:59:57.:00:02.

can forget about the history and emotion and focus on getting three

:00:02.:00:12.
:00:12.:00:25.

points and keeping our league et have made life difficult for

:00:25.:00:35.
:00:35.:00:35.

themselves over the years. This was a fitting sendoff for Underhill.

:00:35.:00:39.

This shot was kept out by the keeper. Edgar Davids took matters

:00:39.:00:44.

into his own hands, but couldn't break the deadlock either. You

:00:44.:00:49.

suspect he will remember this match as one of the most extraordinary of

:00:49.:00:56.

his career. Hyde's name will go into the Barnet history books as

:00:56.:01:06.
:01:06.:01:09.

the last man to score at Underhill. When Flanagan brought down a player

:01:09.:01:16.

the penalty was taken by Grant, but Stack ensured that their destiny

:01:16.:01:26.
:01:26.:01:48.

We will fight to stay up. If we have the same spirit as we had

:01:48.:01:54.

today, I'm confident we can make it. You had to work to save that?

:01:54.:02:02.

have said to the players all season, my record has been poor. They wind

:02:02.:02:06.

me up on the games on the bus. I said to them, I will save one and

:02:06.:02:12.

it will be a big one. I'm true to my word. It was a big one. Your

:02:12.:02:16.

reaction when that penalty was saved. Stack is getting a new

:02:16.:02:21.

contract? He got one for three years. No wonder! Every emotion

:02:21.:02:26.

possible? Slewly. We must not get too carried away. So proud of

:02:26.:02:31.

everything they have done today. They fought hard. Deserved their

:02:31.:02:41.
:02:41.:02:43.

win. We've got to go and gate result at Northampton. Just enjoy

:02:43.:02:49.

the moment. Dramatic end to the final game at Underhill. Romantics

:02:49.:02:53.

will be sad to see the back of the ground. For the players they could

:02:53.:02:57.

not see the back of it soon enough? You have to stand on that half-way

:02:57.:03:02.

line to see how much it does slope. I was there. It's a reminder, if

:03:02.:03:06.

you have not been there for a while, how bad that slope is. It used to

:03:06.:03:10.

be a difficult place to go. For barn at the time hasn't been. They

:03:10.:03:16.

have to change it away. Great save by Stack. It will leave a nice

:03:16.:03:21.

memory with the Barnet supporters. They have to go to Northampton to

:03:21.:03:26.

get a result and stay up. York did it when they were rock bottom-of-

:03:26.:03:30.

the-table. It is possible? course it is. Edgar has gone in

:03:30.:03:36.

there. He went in when they were bottom-of-the-table. He went with

:03:36.:03:40.

Mark Robson to take them over. There has been an up lift in their

:03:40.:03:44.

performance, but also everybody else's performance. They are used

:03:44.:03:49.

to. It they like going to the last game of the season. Let's hope they

:03:49.:03:53.

don't do it again. I'm sure the fans don't enjoy, it that's for

:03:54.:03:58.

sure. The rest of the action now from

:03:58.:04:00.

League Two, starting at Priestfield as Gillingham looked to cap an

:04:00.:04:02.

unforgettable season by capturing the League title.

:04:02.:04:12.
:04:12.:04:17.

Relegation-threatened Wimbledon would keep imWimbledon out of the

:04:18.:04:26.

regulation places. It was going to plan when Burton got his third of

:04:26.:04:33.

the season. Danny Kedwell headed in his 16th of the campaign. Weston

:04:33.:04:36.

came on at the break and immediately took players on. Only

:04:36.:04:42.

for the crossbar to stand in the way of a superb solo goal.

:04:42.:04:46.

Wimbledon deserve credit for dragging themselves back into the

:04:46.:04:53.

game. Jack Midson scored his 13th of the season after shutton

:04:53.:05:02.

volleyed in Meades cross. A slack moment from the Gills defence meant

:05:02.:05:08.

that Jon Meades slotted in from eight yards. Gary Alexander came on.

:05:08.:05:18.

It was a matter of inches from crashing their party. Best

:05:18.:05:25.

highlight of my career, no doubt. I'm the worst, worst Alan in the

:05:25.:05:32.

Alan family. All the others are multi-talented. For me, to be

:05:32.:05:36.

nicknamed Mad dg dog because I tackled people and make a living at

:05:36.:05:40.

football. Now to turn this around and get promotion. I have to be

:05:40.:05:48.

known as a manager who keeps clubs up, lastminute.com. To be champions

:05:48.:05:57.

after a year is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Port Vale's final

:05:57.:06:02.

home game of a tremendous season turned out to be a cracker. Clarke

:06:02.:06:06.

Carlisle's early goal for Northampton wasn't the start their

:06:06.:06:12.

fans were looking for. Northampton had a chance of automatic promotion.

:06:12.:06:19.

They played with magnificent intensity. This shot rattled

against the ball. Vale were unbeaten in six matches. The home

fan cos touch promotion themselves. Liam Chilvers got the equaliser

:06:31.:06:36.

from Pope's pass forward. Chilvers was having a storming game. His

:06:36.:06:40.

header cleared away from the Northampton line by Hornby late in

:06:40.:06:46.

the first half. The entertainment was unrelenting. The goal of the

:06:46.:06:52.

match arrived nine minutes past the hour from Roy O'Donovan. It was

:06:52.:06:58.

brilliant. It was up to Port Vale to respond one more time. When

:06:58.:07:02.

Chilvers clipped the ball into the barks, it was Lee Collins a former

:07:02.:07:07.

Port Vale player, who turned it past his own keeper. It's

:07:07.:07:11.

congratulations to both sides. Northampton in the play-offs and

:07:11.:07:21.
:07:21.:07:23.

Port Vale are promoted, barring a miracle. You could see on the fans'

:07:23.:07:28.

faces how much it means to them. A great tonic playing for the club as

:07:28.:07:34.

well. An added bonus. I'm living the dream really. After their

:07:34.:07:37.

midweek victory at Bradford, Rotherham had automatic promotion

:07:37.:07:43.

back in their sights. Though were chasing a fourth win in 12 days.

:07:43.:07:47.

They came within inches of the opening goal. The moment came 15

:07:47.:07:51.

minutes from time. It left Plymouth still in danger. Ciaran Agard on

:07:51.:08:00.

target for a third consecutive game to keep the Millers on course.

:08:00.:08:09.

Bradford may yet make a second visit to Wembley this season. Their

:08:09.:08:17.

goalkeeper helped them confirm the play-off place. Having saved

:08:17.:08:25.

sharp's header he saved this shot as well. After failing to deal with

:08:25.:08:29.

this long ball, Burton fell behind to James Hanson's goal. The

:08:29.:08:35.

frustration was too much for Lee Bell. He saw red in first half

:08:35.:08:40.

stoppage-time for this elbow on Hines. A four-game ban rules him

:08:40.:08:50.

out of the play-offs entirely. Bradford's win meant Exeter had to

:08:50.:08:53.

beat Cheltenham to sneak into the play-offs in the final day.

:08:53.:08:57.

Automatic promotion is stale possibility for the Robins thanks

:08:57.:09:03.

to Russell Penn's turn and finish, five minutes in. Cureton couldn't

level. Cheltenham struggled to cope with Bennett's aerial strength. One

:09:15.:09:20.

of several excellent Bennett knock downs, but Brown's reaction save

:09:20.:09:28.

ended Exeter's slim play-off hopes. Chesterfield knew their play-off

:09:28.:09:36.

chances were slim even if they won at Fleetwood. After surviving this

:09:36.:09:41.

scare, they took control of the game late in the first half. Armand

:09:41.:09:45.

Gnanduillet opened the scoring two minutes before the break. It was

:09:45.:09:50.

his knock down that set up the really top-class finish for the

:09:50.:09:56.

second. It came from the right boot of Marc Richards. Early in the

:09:56.:10:00.

second-half, after a mistake by Cooper, Fleetwood had a chance to

:10:00.:10:08.

cut the deficit. It was wasted by Matt. The stage was set for another

:10:08.:10:13.

truly exceptional goal from Richards. This time, it came from

:10:13.:10:23.

his left boot. There was a brief response from Fleetwood when Andrew

:10:23.:10:28.

Mangan raced on to score his first goal since August. In the end, both

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:39.

these sides will finish shy of the play-offs. York's victory at

:10:39.:10:42.

Northampton last week ensured their destiny was in their own hands as

:10:42.:10:47.

they kicked off a point above the drop-zone. Adam Reed hooked past

:10:47.:10:54.

the keeper in the first minute. Brown picked up his first win as

:10:54.:10:58.

Southend manager at Aldershot in midweek. He played Ryan Leonard who

:10:58.:11:04.

needed seven stitches last weekend. When this shot was deflected the

:11:04.:11:08.

20-year-old levelled with that bandaged head. Worthington had

:11:08.:11:11.

urged his side to seize this opportunity to ensure the club

:11:11.:11:15.

wouldn't make an immediate return to the Conference. They restored

:11:15.:11:20.

their lead before the break when Walker's header broke formaty Blair.

:11:20.:11:24.

His seventh goal of the season won it. York may still need a point on

:11:24.:11:34.
:11:34.:11:38.

the final day. Oxford were in the mood for their final home game of

:11:38.:11:40.

the season. Alfie Potter and Smalley went close in the first

:11:40.:11:47.

half. With only two home wins in 2013 the Kassam Stadium has become

:11:47.:11:52.

edgey in recent weeks. The quality of the goals here will sustain fan

:11:52.:11:57.

noose the summer months. Andrew Whing's second for the club was one

:11:57.:12:01.

to remember. James Constable is a regular goalscorer. Finishes don't

:12:01.:12:06.

come much better than this. A 13th of the season for one of the

:12:06.:12:16.
:12:16.:12:17.

Yellow's most popular players. This convincing win was a step in the

:12:17.:12:27.
:12:27.:12:27.

right direction. Potter wrapped things up in injury-time. With one

:12:27.:12:31.

loss in seven Accrington have choosen the perfect time to

:12:31.:12:35.

discover their best home. Bristol Rovers have picked up more points

:12:35.:12:39.

in 2013 than anyone else in League Two it would take something special

:12:39.:12:49.
:12:49.:12:49.

to beat the keeper. Mull new's scoring streak the reason for their

Doyle. He lasted 24 minutes. The ref produced the straight red card

after he held back Elliott Benyon. The keeper had the consuling pat.

:13:36.:13:42.

It was the goalie looking around for sympathy much he let a Stewart

Drummond backpass slip under his boot. Morecambe were on the ropes.

:13:49.:13:55.

They responded well. This free-kick brought the best out of Michael

:13:55.:14:03.

Pope in the Goal. It was regulation-threatened Torquay who

:14:03.:14:06.

needed the points more. After Wright gave them a scare after the

:14:06.:14:14.

break, when he hit the base of the post they broke away to score a

:14:14.:14:16.

superb second. Ashley Yeoman showing composure to get the killer

:14:16.:14:21.

goal that provided a first away win in nine games. A point next week at

:14:21.:14:29.

home to Bristol Rovers will be sufficient to keep their league

status alive. Four points from safety Aldershot's grasp on League

Two looked shakey before their final home game. They had

opportunities to finish them off. Reid got away on the left. Jamie

Young had a chance to save. Another opportunity disappeared. It was the

shots who made the decisive breakthrough. Michael Rankine made

It is a straight fight between Rotherham and Cheltenham. Yes, it
