Evening. There's no doubt about it. This is crunch time in the Skybet | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Football League. With time and points fast running out for teams to | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
make a name for themselves. Today saw the possibility of the first | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
promotion of the season, while Massimo Cellino won his appeal to | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
pave the way for his takeover of Leeds United. And a rare,but | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
well-deserved mention for the match officials at Bramall Lane on | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Tuesday. After initially awarding Brentford a penalty and subsequent | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
red card to Sheffield United's Kieron Freeman, referee Eddie | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Ilderton then reversed both decisions after consulting with | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
assistant ref Mark Dwyer. They got there in the end - and that's all | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
that matters. Unless you're a Brentford fan. Steve's here with | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
plenty more to chat about after Saturday's games - and here's what's | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
coming up. Now within touching distance of | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
promotion to the Premier League, we'll reflect on the significance of | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Leicester's match on Friday night against Sheffield Wednesday. A day | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
later QPR boss Harry Redknapp returned to where it all started for | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
him as a manager. The pressure was on - his side in need of a result at | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Bournemouth to keep their fading hopes of automatic promotion alive. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Wigan were denied a win on Tuesday night - reinforcing their place in | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
the play-offs. We've the best of the action from Saturday's early | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
kick-off as the Latics met a Leeds outfit in disarray. | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
And with Stuart Pearce not due to take over until the start of next | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
season, Nottingham Forest's play-off charge. We are at the City Ground | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
for the visit of relegation threatened Millwall. After leaders | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Leicester snatched a late equaliser at Wigan on Tuesday night, that | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
meant the Foxes could celebrate promotion to the Premier League this | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
weekend if results went their way. First though they had to beat | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Sheffield Wednesday at the King Power Stadium on Friday night. Jon | :02:27. | :02:27. | |
Champion was watching. Riyad Mahrez, took it nicely, scores | :02:28. | :02:47. | |
really well. Leicester are on their way. Knockaert not -- involved | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
initially. This would taking up the challenge. -- Wood taking up the | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
challenge. The French Algerian cut inside and scored. | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
They have won three of their last four visits to this stadium. 1-0 | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
last year. A second half goal by Connor Wickham. Antonio Fiennes and | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
angle, there is that equaliser. Against the run of play. Antonio, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
back from injury, let fly. Hope his luck was in and my goodness, it was. | :03:38. | :03:53. | |
A free kick given. He was running at speeds. Not half ounces this. -- | :03:54. | :04:05. | |
Anthony Knockaert fans as this. 2-1. Leicester are back in front. A | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
delicate free kick. Anthony Knockaert, the French man, with the | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
guile to outwit Kirkland. Leicester are on the brink. Ten points clear | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
of Burnley. 19 ahead of Queens Park Rangers. One more win will put them | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
in the Premier League. They may not even need that. Full-time, Leicester | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
two, Sheffield Wednesday one. You can be promoted on Saturday. What | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
will you be doing on Saturday afternoon? People have asked me that | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
and I really don't know. Whether I will be walking, cycling, down the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
pub or whatever, but I certainly shan't be spending too much time | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
fretting about what anybody else does. That win saw Leicester open up | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
a 19 point lead over QPR, so Rangers need a point at Bournemouth to delay | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
the Foxes' promotion party. Bournemouth were still in with an | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
outside chance of squeezing into the play-offs themselves, in their first | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
season back in the Championship. Commentary from | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Bournemouth dreaming of a late run to the play-offs. It is reunions all | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
round today. Harry Redknapp's first competitive game back at Bournemouth | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
since leaving in 1992, and as Portsmouth manager he signed Eddie | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Howe. Bournemouth made one change to the side which won at Birmingham. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Surman returns in midfield. Grabban is back, four goals in his last two, | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
taking his tally to 19 for the season. Injury hit QPR make five | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
changes. Among them, my eager starts for the first time. Jermaine Jenas | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
is back from a hamstring injury. -- Maiga. | :06:02. | :06:16. | |
I good saving the end from Camp. Put on a plate for Jenas and he thought | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
he had picked out the corner here. The best chance of the game so far. | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
It is a good save. A chance for Rangers to break. | :06:31. | :06:51. | |
Hoilett has made a good run down the right. Plenty of room for Morrison | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
to find him. Here is Hoilett. This is Morrison and that is tipped over. | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
Camp called into play again. Morrison, down hard into the ground, | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the ball just bounced up and very nearly looped over Camp and into the | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
net. The pressure from the home side | :07:14. | :07:27. | |
Surman can find Grabban. Kermorgant. Green did not know too | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
much about it but he got his body behind it to deny Kermorgant the | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
opening goal. Nice linkup play from the Bournemouth front pair. | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
An immediate clearance downfield. Dunne, will he get away with it? | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
Another chance for Grabban, just wide. Lewis Grabban close to number | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
24 the season. -- close to number 20, for the season. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
That will be a Bournemouth Corner, as we go into stoppage time at the | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
end of the first half. Up from the back go cook, Francis is there. A | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
bit of pushing and shoving going on. Elphick! Elphick, for Bournemouth. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
They take a lead in first-half stoppage time. The Bournemouth | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
skipper has the Bournemouth fans on their feet. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
His second goal of the season and it puts Eddie Howe's men into the lead. | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
John Moss gets them away for the second half, Harry Redknapp knowing | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
his side's slim hopes of automatic promotion could be almost over by | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
five o'clock, if they can't get back into this game. But they start this | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
second-half nice and brightly. An early chance for tray or on the | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
volley. -- for Traore. Didn't he take it well? More than 1000 Rangers | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
fans bought to their feet by that brilliant moment of skill from the | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
QPR man. A corner to Bournemouth. Green had | :09:31. | :09:52. | |
to help it over the bar. Nice football from Eddie Howe's men and | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
Surman integral in all of it. Dunne wearing a bandage on his head in the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
second half. It was wrapped right around until the end of the first | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
half but he has had some work at half-time and it is just addressing | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
there now. -- it is just a dressing there now. It is Grabban! They are | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
back in front. That was a mess from the Queens Park Rangers point of | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
view. It is number 20, for the season, from Grabban. It is | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
Surman's ball over the top and Kermorgant, who eventually sets up | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Grabban. On the turn and with Green stretching, just could not keep it | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
out. This is dangerous. A good save from | :10:41. | :11:01. | |
Green. Another corner for Bournemouth. What a response as | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
well, after the way Rangers started the second half. | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
If QPR lose this game and Derby don't win, Leicester are back in the | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
Premier League. That is Harry Arter and it could be trouble. It is a | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
straight red. It was studs up and John Moss did not hesitate. | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Bournemouth are down to ten men and the whole complexion of the game | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
could change in the final quarter. Benayoun now. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
Zamora and Austin inside the penalty area. | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
Just over. A snapshot from Junior Hoilett, not far away. Austin | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
involved in the build-up and Hoilett hooking it just over the top, always | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
rising. Here goes Fraser. He has Grabban | :12:03. | :12:18. | |
available. It is Lewis Grabban for Bournemouth here. He could wrap it | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
up! Grow saved by Green. Away for a corner. A crucial save by the former | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
England man, keeps his side in the game as we approach the final | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
minutes. It is set up for grabs -- it is set up for Grabban to win it | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
here. Met by the clearance of Rob Green. Desperate times for Rangers. | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
He has got a corner, Benayoun. It is going to be drama, write to the | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
wire. Marc Pugh is going to be withdrawn, as we hit the five-minute | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
mark in stoppage time. Strike up Pitman will come on. -- striker | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
Pitman will come on. His role will be attacking play. It is just about | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
going to come down to this corner from Assou-Ekotto on the left-hand | :13:17. | :13:17. | |
side. Oh, clean off the line by the | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
substitute Pitman. Would you believe it, another chance? Over the top. | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
The substitute has just ensured his side get all three points, Harry | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Redknapp is beaten on his return to Bournemouth in dramatic style, ten | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
man Bournemouth have beaten Queens Park Rangers by 2-1. It was an | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
electric game, it really was. We dug in really well at the end, | :13:50. | :13:50. | |
electric game, it really was. We dug in really well at the so proud of | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
the players on today's performance because it is hard enough with 11 | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
players but with ten men it was an achievement. Credit to Bournemouth. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
They scored and had a man sent off and it was difficult. They worked | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
their socks off, we could not break them down. The final seconds of the | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
game, he headed off the line and it was fitting someone who came on for | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
such a small part of the game had a decisive touch and it shows how you | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
need everybody in your squad and everyone pulling in the same | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
direction and we have that here. If his new club failed to beat his | :14:22. | :14:36. | |
old one, the Foxes were up. The Middlesbrough man wasted his chance. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Derby, who started the day 10 points behind the top two were far from | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
their fluent best. Sluggish sums up this displayle they were found | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
wanting in the final third. This cross came in for Bryson who failed | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
to add to his tally. The second-half, and with the Boro | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
backline retreating, Bryson tried his luck, but couldn't find a way | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
past the keeper. With under 20 minutes to go the game's decisive | :15:06. | :15:24. | |
moment arrived. Buxton went close to levelling the matters. It's likely | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
to be the play-offs for Derby, something Leicester don't have to | :15:31. | :15:31. | |
worry about. Leicester were promoted to the | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
Premier League with their victory against Sheffield Wednesday being | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
enough. Let's speak to the Leicester City manager, who I imagine is | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
celebrating with a glass or two of the fizzy stuff. Many | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
congratulations. How does it feel to have finally done it? Very, very | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
good. You're right, the wine's out. Very good to be with friends and | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
family enjoy celebrating what has been a fantastic year so far. I | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
didn't expect it to happen today. I have to be frank with you. I didn't | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
think the results would pan out the way that they did. Now that they | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
have, I mean it means we can enjoy the day for what it. We have games | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
left. It's important we try and win the league now here on in. Where | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
were you then as the results were unfolding. You said on Friday you | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
would either be walking or cycling or in a pub, which one of those | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
three was it? All of them, actually! Ultimately for us now, it's about | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
trying to see the job through and trying to win the league because, | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
you know, it would be a really big boost for all of us to finish the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
season on a high. We've done an awful lot of hard work to get where | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
we are. But there is still work to be done. Has the secret been this | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
season? We've moved on from last season with - we have become a | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
better side. The squad improved because we have added more | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
experience to it. The play who experienced the heartache at the end | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
of last season will have gained from... It's easy for me to say they | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
have gained from the experience. They put their own thoughts in order | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
and their sort of own experience. They got themselves into a position | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
where they have been able to go out there and perform this year. They | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
have done that very, very well. The players take an awful lot of credit | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
for how they approached the year. The additions to to the squad this | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
year have been pivotal as well, in the sense that they added a bit more | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
know how to what is always a very talented squad. Do you think the | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
club all round has an expectation of exactly where it is and it has been | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
easier to play under that? I will be totally honest with you, I don't | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
know exactly whether our fans have the same sort of expectations this | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
season, but we've tried to go about our season, I'm not saying low-key, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
we have tried to make sure our performances have been right. We | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
are... We're probably benefitted from the fact that there have been a | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
couple of sides coming into the Championship this season from the | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
Premier League who their squads alone would suggest that the | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
expectations would be slightly higher on them. All those things | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
together have possibly helped us to stay a little bit under the radar, | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
if you like. Great stuff. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
letting us... Allow us to disturb your promotion party. Let me say | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
now, I'm in Shropshire with a lot of very close friends and family. It is | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
very special for me to spend time with people who I care a lot about, | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
but we are back to work on Monday. Hopefully, we can see the job | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
through. We are leave you with the rest offure evening. Thank you for | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
joining us. Pleasure. Let's find out how the other promotion contenders | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
got on starting with second place Burnley and their game at Watford. | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
Deeney admitted he thought Watford could steam roll the division this | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
year. That has not happened. The Hornets still have a sting. A bitter | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
blow for a Burnley team ravaged by injuries. Ings may be back soon but | :19:55. | :20:03. | |
Vokes is out for the season. The clarets were trailing thanks to the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
offside flag. Watford unable to kill off the | :20:07. | :20:20. | |
contest. Even when they had a goal at his mercy after rounding Tom | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Heaton. Baird got back to save the day. What a crucial clearance that | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
turned out to be. Four minutes from the end, Arfield side stepped a | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
challenge and fired the equaliser which sees Burnley take another | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
small step towards sealing their promotion. This though was a close | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
run thing. We had good situations, got into good areas around their | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
goal. Not made the right decision. Then the big chance really to make | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
it 2-0 where we went round the keeper and put it towards goal, not | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
hard enough. They defended it well. We are enjoying what we are doing. | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
The next one comes around quickly on Tuesday. Charlton took six poins | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
points from three tricky away games in the previous week. Rheading are | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
aers fo on the road. They would be nailed on for the play-off to | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
produce the same form at the Madejski. It was well into the | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
second-half when Le Fondre fired wide. Charlton entertain Yeovil on | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Tuesday night and Barnsley the Tuesday after. Here they threatened | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
rarely. Wiggins on target at least. The keeper equaled this effort from | :21:40. | :21:50. | |
further out. Go Perfectly timed release set up Danny Williams who | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
likes London. He scored at Millwall and QPR. Reading's first win at the | :21:56. | :22:08. | |
Valley for almost 20 years. We knew it would be a challenging game. We | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
had to wrestle the game in the first half. We had a good shape about | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
ourselves and gone in the second-half. We had the momentum and | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
we have gone and scored the important goal. It was difficult | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
opponent, but I must say that during the game I didn't see a difference | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
between a team playing for play-off and another one for relegation. Just | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
outside the play-offs, Mick McCarthy said Ipswich had to keep playing and | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
wait for someone to slip up. Unfortunately, it was them. Town | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
started confidently. They should have got the lead. Rovers' efforts | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
came from set-pieces and from distance. Gestede's header drew a | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
save from Gerken. The Ipswich keeping keeper for the most part was | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
having a comfortable time. Robinson was buzzer earlier on. The England | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
keeper denied Johnny Williams. It was an Ipswich Oldboy that sank | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
them. Rhodes got away for Town. He scored one goal for them and 147 for | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
everybody else. This was his 50th league goal in a Rovers shirt. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Having drawn their last four matches, the home side were | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
determine to see this one out. Following Rhodes' over-head kick, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Gestede ensured that Rovers remained anxious. He was to have his moment, | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
doubling Blackburn's lead 10 minutes from time. With only one win in | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
five, they, like Ipswich, may find a top six finish is now beyond them. | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
The first half was tightle we upped it second-half in a tight | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Championship game. The chance fell to Jordan and he scored a great | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
goal. We let them off the hook. They were getting frustrated. We | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
certainly as good as them or as bad as them, it wasn't a great game. | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
Blackburn and Ipswich are outsiders for the play-offs. Burnley have | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
breathing space in second place. They are down by their reasoning | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
down to the bare bones much they pulled a point out of the bag, | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
didn't they? We have kept on about their resilience. This on paper was | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
a tough game. That is the way it proved. Watford have been tough at | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
home? Last chance saloon with them with regards to play-off push. They | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
would have been desperate to have won this game. How many times have | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
we seen this in the latter stages of games that lurn Burnley managed to | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
get something out of nothing. That is a wonderful finish. Lovely touch. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
He scored big goals this year. Another one to add. QPR and Derby | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
losing? Absolutely. They thought they would have extended their | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
advantage. That is what happened. Reading's home form is a concern for | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
their fans. Their away form seeing them through at the minute. You like | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
this goal. Le Fondre pointing to where Guthrie should pass the ball. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
That is an absolutely fantastic finish. A goal worthy of winning any | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
game. They are in the play-off places are Reading despite the | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
uncertainty Nigel Atkins has had to contend with off the pitch. It | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
hasn't helped his cause? No, it hasn't we see that as an excuse to | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
gill awry. He kept a decent squad and kept the consistent sill | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
together with what he wants from the side -- consistency. The No reason | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
they can't have a realistic challenge. It's been an eventful | :26:04. | :26:16. | |
couple of weeks, to say the least, at Nottingham Forest. This week it | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
was announced Stuart Pearce will take over as manager in the summer, | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
but they're still in with a shout of the play-offs, despite a nine-match | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
winless run. Clem takes up the story with the visit of a club fighting | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
for Championship survival, Millwall. Welcome to the City Ground, not | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
words we could have said on the football Football League Show until | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
recently. Long serving staff sacked his cousin appointed to a senior | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
role and a virtual media black-out. Why did you give Billy Davies so | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
much power? Well, in the beginning I would like to welcome you here. I | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
give all the managers, I give all the managers support. Any manager | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
who comes to this club, I support him. This is the strategy for the | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
family. Do you reget giving him that amount of power? No. I don't like to | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
talk about what happened before. But he is the problem, a lot of people | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
will be watching know this traditional football club, you | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
bought it for those very reasons. Of course. They look at what happened | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
over the last 13 months they think - what has gone on there? I | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
understand. You know, this Nottingham Forest is a big club. | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
They have won many competitions of course. My aim is to win. Every club | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
have the right to make changes, especially at this moment to help | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
the club so it can succeed and go to the Premier League. What has it been | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
like as a Forest fan to observe Billy Davies off the field antics? | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
It was pretty hard to watch. The way he was with media not talking to the | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
media and his fans. Not explaining the results, it was difficult as a | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
Forest fan to put up with really. We need feed back from the manager. We | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
weren't getting that. I worked with Billy twice now, for a lot of years, | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
he had the players, you know, on his side. I think a lot of the things | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
that went off off the pitch were probably to keep the pressure off us | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
and put the focus on himself and let us get on with our jobs. Was there | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
no way at all you could find the right manager that was willing to | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
start now to try and lead the charge this season? We were talking with | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
many managers, it didn't, work. I said, no, I don't want to find... I | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
want to find the right manager for Nottingham Forest. I would like to | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
find someone with a link with Nottingham. Who knows Nottingham and | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
cares about Nottingham. Understand Pearce, everyone loves him. He can | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
do no run. We are getting people back in the club who are | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
Forest through and through. That is what we need. It been a tougher | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
challenge? Yes. This is a difficult league, Championship, with my small | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
experience everybody can beat everybody. It's very strong league. | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
You never expect what is going to happen. | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
It is tough fat the poor -- top and to fact the bottom, where Millwall | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
are facing relegation. There was an early save. Forest-macro- won at | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
home in two months and that lack of defensive confidence returned to | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
haunt them as the visitors capitalised on 90 minutes. Scott | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
Malone's effort deflected. Ian Holloway's side, they have found | :29:44. | :29:50. | |
wins hard to come by. They outmanoeuvred the home side | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
especially down the Forest right. Lee Martin doubled their lead with a | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
terrific strike on 39 minutes and celebrated with the Lions faithful | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
in style. Gary Brazil had his work cut out at half-time, but his words | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
appeared to have had an effect when Harding's cross was finished and | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
erratically by Paterson eight minutes after the restart. But | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
Forest looked vulnerable on the break and almost paid the price when | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
Morison brought the best out of darling. Despite their efforts, | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
notably from Lansbury, an equaliser is raided the home side and the | :30:29. | :30:29. | |
play-off hopes were fading. Has Stuart Pearce had any | :30:30. | :30:47. | |
involvement with you and the team? No, I had a healthy conversation on | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
Thursday. He has kept out of it and no input into the team or anything | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
to do with the training. We will talk through the next few weeks. The | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
plan is to make sure everything is ready for Stuart Pearce in July. | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
We're not giving up on this season. I was really disappointed with what | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
I saw in the first half. Better in the second half. Better in the | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
second-half but there has to be a major improvement on Tuesday. It is | :31:13. | :31:16. | |
a key win form a wall but the Nottingham Forest, no winning ten | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
and they are clearly out of the play-off picture and the fate is out | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
of their own hands. What did you make of the Stuart Pearce | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
appointment when you first heard? I was a bit surprised he did not take | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
it initially but he has got valid reasons for not taking it but they | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
must be really good reasons for the fact that he is almost at the point | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
where will he wouldn't have got the job and they have had to bend over | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
backwards to accommodate him in that respect. They are not writing this | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
season off but it has not done them any favours. Are you surprised he | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
has not come in now for the last six games? I am, he had work and family | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
commitments, he feels strongly enough about that to stand his | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
ground. All this happened at the wrong time for Forest fans with them | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
well ensconced in the play-off positions. Could it have been | :32:04. | :32:10. | |
avoided, all this? I can't help thinking if Billy had not alienating | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
people in the way he had and not made himself isolated as a figure, I | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
think he might have got another couple of weeks. He might have got a | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
couple of games. If that had been the case he might have won aren't | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
kept himself in a job. Sometimes it helps if you can go about it in a | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
way where you do appeal to everyone, rather than alienating the body. | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
From one of Brian Clough's former sides to another and when you | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
thought things could not get worse for Leeds their manager called the | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
situation at the club a joke after suffering another demoralising home | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
defeat against Charlton on Tuesday, compounded by Ross McCormack missing | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
a stoppage time penalty. Well, today, Brian McDermott's side were | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
at Wigan, the Latics having opened up a six-point gap on the chasing | :33:00. | :33:02. | |
pack in the play-off race. Uwe Rosler made two changes from their | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
midweek draw, with Callum McManaman and Martyn Waghorn coming in. Former | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
loanee Waghorn signed permanently for the club last night. Brian | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
McDermott brought in Michael Brown and Noel Hunt as he tried to prevent | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
a fourth consecutive Leeds defeat. Dan O'Hagan watched this one. | :33:15. | :33:24. | |
Waghorn, now Jordi Gomez. Jordi Gomez! A fine strike. With nine | :33:25. | :33:33. | |
goals in league and Cup this season, six in the Championship and this was | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
not far from number seven in the league. | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
Up goes Smith, McCormack in there. There is McCormack again, McCormack | :33:42. | :33:55. | |
through and Hunt. There was a flag, it would not have counted. The flag | :33:56. | :34:04. | |
spies the offside against Hunt. A close but correct call. | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
A long ball, which Waghorn will try to make the most of. Martyn | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
Waghorn's cross. MacArthur comes inside, a promising | :34:16. | :34:31. | |
run. He has come a long way here and Waghorn with a shot and Waghorn, | :34:32. | :34:38. | |
with the goal! He signed a full-time move for Wigan just yesterday. His | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
fourth goal for them. He finds the bottom warner. -- corner. Maybe the | :34:43. | :34:52. | |
keeper should have kept it out. MacArthur would not be shaken off. | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
The goalkeeper should save that, for me. | :34:57. | :35:08. | |
Waghorn, a little, stocky figure. Here is Perch. A good block from | :35:09. | :35:20. | |
Warnock. A high tempo second-half by Wigan. They mean business. | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
Leeds should be safe, bar the administration and potential ten | :35:27. | :35:35. | |
point deduction. 13 points off the top six. 12 clear of the bottom | :35:36. | :35:36. | |
three at the moment. Ross McCormack's chip is just past | :35:37. | :35:49. | |
the post. Given his form, that was a real chance for Leeds. McCormack | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
nearly makes a goal from absolutely nothing. we were disappointed we | :35:55. | :36:01. | |
didn't get in his -- anything. We did not have a shot second half and | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
we have had a real go, tried to get back in the game. In my opinion this | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
squad they have got here is probably second to Leicester in the squad of | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
players they have got. If they get off in the play-offs, they will be a | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
force to reckon with. We probably were not at our freshest and we | :36:22. | :36:29. | |
needed to grind out a result. We got a point and that is all we will be | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
looking for. The result at Oakwell would be important at both ends. | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
Barnsley seeking a third successive win as they faced a club who served | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
with distinction as a player. Brian's form has collapsed, just as | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
they hoped for a play-off push. Jennings fired in a reminder this | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
fixture could not be taken lightly regardless of league positions. The | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
Reds looked the most dangerous. The crossbar came to the rescue in the | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
second half. Another header had the home fans ready to roar. Tom | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
Kennedy's cross found Mvoto in the clear. In terms of the finishing, | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
this was shaping up as the prologue opposite of right and's three what | :37:12. | :37:21. | |
-- 3-1 thriller. Leonardo Ulloa could not break the deadlock. The | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
referee made some decisions that could have swung the game. He was | :37:25. | :37:34. | |
booked, another tangle and Etuhu was off, handing brightener one-man | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
advantage for the final quarter of an hour. Oscar Garcia's side failed | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
to capitalise. LuaLua's skidding shot was the closest they came. | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
Barnsley were equally old -- underwhelmed with the draw. The | :37:49. | :37:51. | |
first booking was never a booking, if that was a booking we have a | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
problem with English sport if that contact is a bookable offence. We | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
deserved to win today. We had the best chances. In the second half we | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
played much better in position and we deserved it but we did not take | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
chances. Two sides who have had similar | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
campaigns and hoping to secure safety, to make plans for next | :38:15. | :38:23. | |
season. Bolton's recent form shows the future is looking almost as | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
bright as the kit they turned out in. Huddersfield tried to seize the | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
initiative. The crosses -- the Trotters had tasted defeat just once | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
in their last nine outings. Town were on the back foot. Hutton's | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
cross was plundered off the post. Huddersfield were having to do | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
without James Vaughan, who missed the run-in with a knee problem. | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
Gobern had his header cleared off the line and from another corner he | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
was thwarted again, this time by Bogdan. Town's six-game winless | :38:54. | :39:00. | |
streak looked destined to continue as the Bolton keeper was refusing to | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
be beaten. Ward am frustrated. The scoreline was all set to finish | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
blank, but in stoppage time Mason cached in from a corner as Bolton | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
leapfrogged their opponents. It is a fantastic finish but we have to make | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
sure the goalkeeper gets a mention today and I do feel for the | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
Huddersfield fans because they did play well today, no doubt about it. | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
We played really well but did not get anything from the game. That is | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
how it is at the moment. Six games left, another chance on Tuesday | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
night to get a couple of goals and try and win one. | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
Federico Macheda spent the first half of his feed and on loan at | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
Doncaster. They might have been pleased to see him back but that | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
would probably wear off by full-time. In the first half his | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
current club looked every bit the side who had won the last seven. | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
Birmingham were behind again after Quinn scored. Before the break it | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
might have been worse for the Blues. The header kept out by Randolph. | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
After the restart, a mirror image. Another David Cotterill free kick, | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
another fine Randolph saves to deny Lucas Neill on his home debut. Then | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
Macheda bit the hand that was feeding him a few months ago. | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
Initially with a considerable assistance of James Husband. The | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
defender dawdled and the Birmingham striker buried the opportunity. | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
Perhaps Lee Clark's side have been overcomplicated things. That | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
certainly was not the case with the goal that completed the turnaround. | :40:33. | :40:39. | |
Novak, and Quinn's touch was not so welcome for the home side. Before | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
they could respond, Macheda continued eye-catching habit. He | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
scored twice. Paul Robinson and Tom for helping out with this double. He | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
had to share some of the credit with Randolph, who denied Theo Robinson | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
late on. We are disappointed. We were not as good as we have been. We | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
have been on a fantastic run and we are capable of doing it again. This | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
isn't over until the last few games, may be the last game. We can sort | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
ourselves out quicker than that but we now need to focus on Tuesday and | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
the journey to Middlesbrough and hopefully we can get a result there. | :41:18. | :41:26. | |
For Yeovil this was the first of two matches against fellow strugglers. | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
Six points would put a completely different complexion on the | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
relegation battle. Back-to-back wins seemed a tall order for a side that | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
had not won in six but the Glovers' chances improve when the Tangerines | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
McMahon handled in the box. In the absence of Miller, sent back to | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
Forest after club discipline, Hayter stepped up and converted from the | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
spot. Yeovil were unrecognisable from the side that lost 4-1 to | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
Barnsley last time. Grant came close to putting them two ahead. The same | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
player went close after the break. Blackpool struggled to repel Yeovil | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
onslaught. Gilks saved from Grant, Duffy and Tom warrants couldn't seal | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
the deal either. It could have been costly. Blackpool's big moment came | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
and went and David Goodwillie wasted the chance of an equaliser. Yeovil | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
nerves were soothed by a second goal, 16 minutes remaining and | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
Manchester United youngster Lawrence scored his first for the Glovers, | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
fourth away win of the season within reach. Yeovil were later swept by | :42:36. | :42:42. | |
Grandin's superb strike but they held on for the win. Next, a trip to | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
Charlton, now only three points ahead of the Glovers. You Lowe The | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
lads we chose today went out there and did the job along with our 200 | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
supporters also that travelled five or six hours from Yeovil to | :42:58. | :42:59. | |
Blackpool. We are going home happy because we have done our job and we | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
had to because this was a big game and an important one. What is the | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
most disappointing aspect for you in 90 minutes? Quite a number of things | :43:09. | :43:17. | |
that I don't really want to go, it stays in the dressing room. A | :43:18. | :43:23. | |
massive ring -- wind. For Wigan, they had to grind out a win against | :43:24. | :43:32. | |
lean. -- leads. They had to work hard for Waghorn's winner. There was | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
something he wanted to point out about the goal? Look at Jack | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
Butland, a good move, a 1-2 down the edge of the box. He stops and | :43:41. | :43:47. | |
appeals. That is where he loses that slight bit of balance and can't get | :43:48. | :43:53. | |
himself back composed. Look, here, he stops, puts his hand up here, | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
goes flat-footed. Just a bit of naivete from the young man. He goes | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
flat-footed and can't get the spring out of his legs and make the save, | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
which on the face of it he should have done. That was the difference | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
in the game. There was very little between the two sides. We talk about | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
Leeds not having a lot to play for but they went and made a game of it. | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
What about Massimo Cellino's appeal being successful? Because obviously | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
looked like at one point he would not be taking over at Elland Road | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
but now it has been cleared for him to. It's much-needed. When we have | :44:27. | :44:34. | |
had the amount of characters in the game, I think his misdemeanour was | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
small in comparison. Probably the right decision much the football | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
club now needs stabilities. They need someone with a couple of bob to | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
keep them going for the near future. As for the huge win for Yeovil. | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
Things have been going off in the background. They got a great win | :44:52. | :44:58. | |
against Blackburn which keeps them in danger? It does. It was a huge | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
win. It still keeps Yeovil within a win of getting out of the bottom | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
three. That is a massive psychological boost. A great win. | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
Yeah, I mean, albeit they still have a six-point gap, Blackpool will | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
still be worried after today's result. Two wins in 23 for Barry | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
Ferguson's side. Yeah. They are keeping their noses above water? You | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
think they will stay up because of others rather than inspite of | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
themselves. With a run like that, if there were 10 games to go, you would | :45:32. | :45:37. | |
be worried for them. To League One next, and after a goalless draw at | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
Stevenage on Tuesday, Wolves extended their lead over | :45:41. | :45:42. | |
third-placed Leyton Orient to 11-points with just six games left. | :45:43. | :45:45. | |
On Saturday, the leaders were at home to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy | :45:46. | :45:47. | |
winners, Peterborough. By the leader's high standards the | :45:48. | :46:00. | |
midweek stalemate at Stevenage was a disappointment. Batth out muscling | :46:01. | :46:09. | |
Brisley to help them close in on a return to the Championship. | :46:10. | :46:17. | |
Knight-Percival forced the player into a sharp stop. Edwards made | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
Wolves more comfortable after Sako's free-kick chattered the post. The | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
home side were set for their 23rd clean sheet of the season in the | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
league. Equalling a record set back in 1924. The margin of this latest | :46:34. | :46:41. | |
victory was made more emphatic when Diko dropped to the turf. -- Dicko. | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
The not that Sako's miss made much difference to the manager's mood. | :46:48. | :46:50. | |
Every win at this stage of the season a a big step, particularly in | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
the position we are in. One more game off and encouraged by the | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
performance as well. I thought today we were back to our best at home. In | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
front of a very good ground as as well. Are a good team, that is why | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
they will probably win the league. We should have given them more of a | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
game. We are capable of doing that today. We didn't give them any sort | :47:13. | :47:24. | |
of a game. 'sd de defend Hollis had got them crucial goals. He was red | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
carded after bringing down Donaldson inside the box. Forshaw got the show | :47:30. | :47:35. | |
on the road for Brentford. Their first goal for over five-and-a-half | :47:36. | :47:41. | |
hours. 11 minutes later, they netted again. Judge took advantage of a | :47:42. | :47:52. | |
slip. The 10-men were staring at a possible hiding. The keeper served | :47:53. | :48:00. | |
twice beforekm Judge got his second and Brentford's third. Credit the | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
Magpies for digging in. Spence put away a late consolation with four of | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
the five sides below them winning they are back in trouble again. | :48:11. | :48:13. | |
Brentford remain strong favourites for automatic promotion. The boys | :48:14. | :48:23. | |
pushed forward, great tempo and energy and quality in their play. It | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
could have been a couple more goals. The it was a good performance. The | :48:28. | :48:35. | |
last time these two met League One survival was Sheffield United's | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
primary concern. They still had an outside shot of making the | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
play-offs. Orient quaranteed a top six finish had hopes of chasing down | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
the top two. A well taken goal from Cox gave them a boost before | :48:50. | :48:56. | |
half-time. That put Slade's men ones course on his fourth anniversary as | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
manager. Murphy was put clear, he has been in sparkling form. He | :49:03. | :49:09. | |
scored the club's 7,000th league goal as the game finished back as it | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
did in November. One little bit of lapse in concentration, it let them | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
back into the game. We are getting punished for those errors at the | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
minute. For a long parts of the game I thought we were very, very good. | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
Particular in the first half. Our first half was poor. It seems a | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
pattern at the moment. The second-half we deserved the 1-1. | :49:34. | :49:41. | |
Rotherham are in terrific form. They took Gillingham apart in the first | :49:42. | :49:49. | |
20 seconds. Agard's 21st goal of the season one of the simplest. | :49:50. | :49:55. | |
Gillingham drew level on the half-hour. They made the most of | :49:56. | :50:01. | |
Dack's free-kick. There was a shock in store. Weston completed the turn | :50:02. | :50:09. | |
around. Kew what the Miller's manager reckoned could be his best | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
ever substitution. This wonderful pass and these two touches enable | :50:14. | :50:20. | |
Hitchcock to score just after nine minutes. Dack restored Gillingham's | :50:21. | :50:31. | |
lead. A finish worthy of winning any match. That seemed the likely | :50:32. | :50:40. | |
outcome with six minutes to go. Hitchcock levelled the scores again. | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
It was the first time the striker on-loan from QPR had scored twice in | :50:45. | :50:52. | |
a senior match. He earned himself the match-ball Rotherham are | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
unbeaten in 16-matches. The yoshg ire club try to offhaul Brentford | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
and get the second automatic promotion spot. In the end, as much | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
as they are a good team, I think they got some easy goals by just | :51:09. | :51:17. | |
poor defending from us. If Preston were to have any chance of gaining | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
automatic promotion, they can ill afford to be dropping points from | :51:22. | :51:26. | |
winning positions. That is exactly what happened at Ashton Gate after | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
King lashed on to this knock down to put the Lillywhites in front. | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
Bristol City's recent home formsome superb. One defeat in nine before | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
the weekend in the league. 15 minutes from time, Wade Elliott | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
eased their relegation fears when he found the corner through a crowded | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
penalty area. It's been a difficult week off the pitch for Preston, | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
following spot-fixing allegations. It could have got even worse, had | :51:55. | :52:00. | |
Barnett kept his compose sure in the dying moments for the Robins. A | :52:01. | :52:08. | |
shock on Thursday with the news, obviously things that follow. My | :52:09. | :52:15. | |
personal point of view is that players are innocent until proved | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
guilty of I will back them 100%. I spoke to each individual on Friday | :52:21. | :52:22. | |
when they came back into training. Spoke to them this morning about the | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
mind set, are they ready to play? They assured me, 100%, they have no | :52:28. | :52:33. | |
incripple nations in any of this. I will take their word. People have to | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
prove that they are guilty in this situation. And, the players know, if | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
they are lying through their teeth and they are guilty, the | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
consequences will follow. Madine could be the man to save Carlisle | :52:50. | :52:58. | |
from relegation. He might be rite. Foderingham denied him early on. | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
Seven-minutes before the break he was back in the groove. That killer | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
instinct could prove crucial in the battle against the drop. Swindon | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
seeking a fourth straight win to boost their play-off chances rarely | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
threatened. Smith's free-kick beaten away by Pickford. Carlisle's first | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
win in nine games is enough to take them out of the bottom four. Even | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
the stoppage-time dismissal of Berrett for a foul on Thompson will | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
fail to take the shine of what is a huge win for the home side. Three | :53:29. | :53:36. | |
clean sheets on the bounce, very pleasing. More importantingly, we | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
managed to get a goal today, which we haven't done in the last couples | :53:41. | :53:47. | |
couple of weeks. First win in eight for Carlisle. When they needed it | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
the most. With Gary Madine back at the club he could end up being an | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
inspirational signing for them? He could. I think he is a fantastic | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
player at that level. He will probably feel hard done by it didn't | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
work out at Sheffield Wednesday in the way he would have imagined. This | :54:04. | :54:06. | |
seems to be the perfect club, at the perfect time. That is of course with | :54:07. | :54:11. | |
Carlisle suffering from horrendous injuries of late. Wolves clear at | :54:12. | :54:16. | |
the top, 23rd clean sheet of the season. To cap it all, one of the | :54:17. | :54:22. | |
centre halves responsibility for that gets on the scoresheet He is | :54:23. | :54:30. | |
big and strong. He outmuscled him. Free-kick. I mean, not only are they | :54:31. | :54:38. | |
good defensively, 74 goals, averaging two goals a game, not | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
conceding. You understand why they are top of the league. They could | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
break the 100 point barrier. Which would be fantastic. Seven points | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
away from the last six games for Wolves to gain promotion. Rotherham, | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
top goalscorers, 77 goals to their name. What an afternoon for Tom | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
Hitchcock on-loan from QPR? Fantastic. He is a goalscorer, isn't | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
he? Aened woerful pass. He drags the ball. One ball forward, he is | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
willing to work off the big man as well. You can see. Takes advantage | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
of the defender's mistake there. Keeps his cool. This is the best of | :55:19. | :55:25. | |
the lot. This is an absolutely fantastic piece of play. Facing away | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
from goal. Brilliant. Take it is down and instantly knows where the | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
goal is. I don't think they looked up. He didn't. Wonderful touch, | :55:33. | :55:40. | |
wonderful finish. Real class about the boy today, the difference | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
between the two sides. Beaten in 16 are Rotherham. They have been | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
scouting in the Netherlands. Shows you what their scouting network is | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
like at the minute. Can they close the six-point gap on Brentford, in | :55:55. | :56:00. | |
second? It will be difficult. It's their first season back - You are | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
setting them up for a fall. You are raising expectation - Clearly Evans | :56:07. | :56:12. | |
won't be giving up - We have said it before, a team like Brentford to | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
fall into a hole with the last six games that is unlikely. What a | :56:16. | :56:18. | |
fantastic season so far, like you said. They will go in to the | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
play-offs full of confidence, won't they? Hard line stands from Simon | :56:23. | :56:33. | |
Grayson at Preston? He had a word with the chaps, he claims they say | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
they are innocent. He believes them. This is --. These are murk kwli | :56:38. | :56:53. | |
waters -- murky waters. Staying with League One, and two wins on the | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
bounce had lifted Walsall to within just five-points of the play-offs. | :56:58. | :57:00. | |
Next up for the Saddlers, a trip to Port Vale. | :57:01. | :57:00. | |
just five-points of the play-offs. Next up for Two clubs hoping to make | :57:01. | :57:03. | |
a late surge into the top six couldn't be separated in the first | :57:04. | :57:09. | |
half. Port Vale got their break when Pope tumbled under Downing's | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
challenge. Penalties don't come better than this one from | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
Myrie-Williams. It had been well over a century since they last beat | :57:20. | :57:22. | |
Walsall twice in one season. They achieved their little bit of | :57:23. | :57:34. | |
history, albeit by a slender margin. Their first double since Queen Vick | :57:35. | :57:40. | |
tore yas was on the throne. -- Victoria. Successive home defeats | :57:41. | :57:49. | |
for MK Dons saw them drop six points behind the play-off positions. After | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
Alli put them in front they went on to register their sixth away win in | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
their last seven games. Mind you, it was anything but straight-forward. | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
In the second-half, Marshall set Baker in for the equaliser. It was | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
another well constructed goal. The finish of the match was provided by | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
McLeod. He was on the field for less than a minute before evading the | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
challenge of Webster and sweetly lobbing Joe Murphy in the Sky Blue's | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
goal. Coventry had picked up seven points from their previous three | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
games. After Wilson was hauled over by Kay, they should have got | :58:31. | :58:33. | |
something here. Baker stepping forward from the spot, only to be | :58:34. | :58:47. | |
shut out superbibly -- sue superb by by the keeper. In terms of the group | :58:48. | :58:50. | |
and their attitude towards the game it was very good today. | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
Johnson Clarke-Harris stole the show in this one, as Oldham swept past | :58:56. | :59:06. | |
Bradford. First half knock-down was doubled up by Wesolowski. The | :59:07. | :59:09. | |
Australian's fifth of the campaign was cancelled out. Matthew Dolan's | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
searching pass gratefully collected by Reach. He showed great composure | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
to square the scores. But Clarke-Harris is proving to be an | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
exciting prospect. The 19-year-old lashed the Latics back in front on | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
the stroke of half-time. By the hour mark, he notched his second of the | :59:30. | :59:32. | |
game to add to the first half assist. This time displaying pace | :59:33. | :59:36. | |
and power, before angling his shot into the corner. That ensured his | :59:37. | :59:41. | |
side would extend their unbeaten run to five matches and close to the 50 | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
point mark, something Bradford are still striving for. They are without | :59:47. | :59:51. | |
a win at home in their last four and in stoppage time Yeates hit the post | :59:52. | :59:59. | |
but the damage was done. As Crewe tried to clamber clear of | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
the relegation zone, Crawley are heading to danger. Pogba tested | :00:04. | :00:11. | |
Jones, and Ikpeazu gave the lead. The hosts had lost four in a road | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
and the manager has been dismayed by the chances they are missing. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Sometimes it is bad luck, like the deflections that carried this shot | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
into the post instead of the corner. There was to be no stopping | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Crawley's Proctor, once he decided to go for goal. All square midway | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
through the second half, but Crewe had something in reserve. They | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
needed a pacey in men, who came off the bench and clinched the win which | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
keeps the Latics hot on the heels of the teams just above the bottom | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
four. -- in man came off the bench. Relegation six pointer is worth | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
usually tight affairs and this was no exception. Rovers opened the | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
scoring with a really well taken goal, from Akpa-Akpro. When you bear | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
him mind he had not netted 430 games, you had to be impressed by | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
his composure -- he had not scored in 30 games. Just before the break, | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Colchester levelled through Sears, after Dixon put the ball back from | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
the left. I have a group of players that need to find some extra edge, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
said the Colchester boss, but they found themselves in trouble again | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
after the revitalised Akpa-Akpro paved the way for Lowe's 19th league | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
goal of the season. One more surge from the home side was provided by | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
jabber would-be array, but J Wright's shot was scrambled to | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
safety. A vital win for Tranmere. Shrewsbury Town working to make home | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
advantage count in their bid to crawl off the bottom. Stevenage knew | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
if they lost they would be the ones left propping up the rest. When they | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
failed to stand up to the towering figure, they paid the price. Taylor | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
made the crucial breakthrough. In the closing stages, Akins was denied | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
in rapid succession. Mike Jackson's team managed to see the job through | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
and clinched the win that takes them off the bottom, even if they did | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
finish and light. A rash challenge earned a second yellow card, but | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
psychologically for the Shrews this could prove to be a seconds a | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
significant victory. A good when. It was stressful towards the end with | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
things going on but I only want to speak about the players and the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
crowd. That is all that needs mentioning, the way they have gone | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
about it and the crowd as well, the way they responded and the players | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
deserved it today, massively. It was not that long ago that Michael | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Jackson's Shrewsbury Town not by a win at home for love nor money. Now | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
it is two in and it has given them hope. It certainly has. It was much | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
needed, no doubt about it. It has been strange, because they moved to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the new ground and it is a really nice stadium, a lovely place to play | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
football but maybe the opposition enjoy it too much as well. They need | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
to concentrate their mind and coming to a bit of form and if they keep | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
that going, there is a chance of getting out of there. Crewe against | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
Crawley, neither in the grace of form. Crewe have been in the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
relegation zone for a while and they needed the win to stay level with | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
the teams above them. It is a big win. It is inconsistency. We know | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
that at their best they are capable of beating anybody, but they need to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
string results together rather than the way they are doing it and they | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
will be another side who have enough ability to get out of it. An | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
intriguing game for Colchester, 22 players wearing Colchester's strips | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
but Tranmere came out on top. It is only the third win under John | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
McMahon but Colchester, four defeats in a row for Job done and he has | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
admitted they are in serious trouble. It is a struggle to score | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
goals, like last year. An inspirational signing, Lowe, 19 | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
league goals this year. You are buying gold and you get him, but it | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
is really worrying times. Nine defeats, when you take that out, | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
nine defeats in 13 for them. This is a worrying trend and they are one of | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
the main teams who could drop in this league and he is rightfully | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
worried. And the four sides below them or won. That is another thing | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
you would be concerned about, others are showing form. You chuck Notts | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
County into the equation, they have won in their last four. Everybody is | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
doing their bit apart from Colchester. Despite being held to a | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
goalless draw at Fleetwood last week Rochdale retained their two-point | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
cushion at the top of League Two. Today, the league leaders were at | :05:07. | :05:07. | |
home to play-off chasing York City. The only thing these teams have lost | :05:08. | :05:23. | |
is the lack of losing. You can probably guess the rest. Your's Nick | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Pope was the busier keeper and the busier keeper and a second-half save | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
from Scott Hogan stood out. A second scoreless draw of the season between | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
these two and nothing to choose between the managers. I am happy | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
with a clean sheet. It is a great point against a good side. Many | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
teams have been rolled over here so delighted with a point and the work | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
from the players has been phenomenal. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
Russ Wilcox' Invincibles rolled into Torquay, they had every chance and | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
it turns out he was right. The home side had their moments. The save | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
from Hawley and the cross has shot from Cameron. It was against the run | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
of play when Scunthorpe were awarded a 31st minute penalty. Matt Sparrow | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
and Christian Pearce went down in a tangle of legs. Winnall slotted in | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
the subsequent spot kick. Nine minutes later, after Pearce was | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
lodged in the six yard box, the referee gave Torquay a penalty. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
Unfortunately for the goals, it was put in the reach of a keeper. Is | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
that the moment that ensures their relegation? Stockley went close. The | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
25th match unbeaten for Wilcox, a world record shared by Andreas | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Villas-Boas from his Porto games. An injury time red card, a | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
disappointing day for Torquay. It was back to lead business for | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Chesterfield as they tried to bounce back from defeat in the Johnstons | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
paint Trophy this weekend. When Ryan stuck with a beauty just after | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
half-time all seemed to be going or according to plan -- struck. Any | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
lingering at Wembley hangover looked to be dispatched when had made it | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
two, only for the offside flag to curtail the celebration. Chances | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
were coming and coming and going and Marc Richards had the best of them | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
but unfortunately the keeper was equal to it and the home side paid | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
for their problems -- profligacy. Porter's first goal of the season. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Chesterfield are third but the chasing pack is closing. I said to | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
the lads, as you can imagine it was quite heated in the dressing get | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
room. They feel like they have done something wrong and sometimes | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
football is a funny game. After 46 games, people say you deserve to be | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
promoted. Not today. No one is promoted today or tomorrow. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
The new Oxford boss came into his home match after the back of | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
successive away defeats without scoring and a couple of set pieces | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
did for his side here against fellow play-off contenders Fleetwood. David | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Ball was on hand to put away the first at the far post and Antoni | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Sarcevic wrapped up the points just after the break. The cod Army just | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
three points off automatic promotion as Oxford drop out of the top seven. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Bitterly disappointed. We are all frustrated, no different to two | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
weeks ago but we have to take responsibility for our actions and | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
the performance was not good enough. Burton manager Gary Bower described | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
his team's first half display is probably their best at home all | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
season. They had to be patient. Phillips hit a Plymouth post early | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
on and for all their dominance Albion needed an assist from the | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Argyll backline. Marty Palmer on his way and when his shot was blocked, | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
he combined to open the door for McFadzean, the first goal of his | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
loan spell from Sheffield United. , Hoolahan mounted a charge that came | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
to nothing and their play-off challenge may end the same way -- | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Hourihane. It is disappointing, every game is huge. It is getting | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
over the line in terms of the 90 minutes and move onto the next game, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
simple. A spot of father -son bonding ahead | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
of this one. Tough love from Cheltenham's Mark Yates. One wonders | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
what happened to his players at half-time here. The Robins took the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
lead into the break. Harrison's stoppage time goal arriving in a | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
so-called good time to score. That wasn't the way it panned out. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Southend turned things around at the second half with two goals in three | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
minutes. Corr put United back on terms shortly after the hour mark. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Their third straight win was secured soon afterwards. Hurst exploiting a | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
huge hole in the defence. Basic errors according to Yates, who might | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
have cost a few years in the dressing room afterwards. -- who | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
might have shouted and a few ears. Wycombe are facing fight for | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
survival. The fisticuffs came from Wroe. The Daggers defender was | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
aggrieved by Steven Craig's challenge on Lewington just before | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
half-time but the red card that followed for violent conduct meant | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
that ten Mondragon would have their work cut out to keep the home side | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
at Beyonce soon it proved. It took Gareth Ainsworth two minutes of the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
second half to make their advantage count. The challenge on Stuart Lewis | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
was rash and Craig was unforgiving from the penalty spot. The home side | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
had slipped into a perilous position after a run of form which has | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
brought just one win in eight. They were unlucky not to increase their | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
advantage when the crossbar denied Matt McClure. Dagenham had arrived | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
at Adams Park with half an eye on the play-offs, but they left | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
gracious in a defeat that was wrapped up by Kretzschmar's six goal | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
of the season. It provided three points which gives the chair boys | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
renewed optimism. Bury's top scorer Nardiello spent | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
two years at Exeter and netted 24 goals in 77 games. But he wasn't | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
quite so deadly against his former team-mates when the ball was bent | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
over early in the second half. It didn't prove a costly miss. Because | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
four minutes past the hour pussy bends a low free kick to the corner | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
and the Shakers were on the way to a third successive win in two years. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
The game was as good as over when culls picked up a second yellow and | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
a second successive defeat for the visitors was confirmed in stoppage | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
time by Soares. The Grecians are definitely not out of danger, just | :12:17. | :12:27. | |
four points above the bottom two. This is what you call a dead ball | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
strike. Daniel with this free kick for Mansfield. Pick that one out. | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
Some way to record a first league goal of the season. 50 points on the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
board, this was a chance for the stacks to enjoy themselves. Matt | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Rhead would have done but for the save. By contrast, Morecambe will | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
feel they need one more win to ensure survival. They have to get it | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
without Fleming. That challenge earned him a red card in a match | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
that saw ten bookings, six of them after this expulsion. | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
A very fast start at Fratton Park for two newcomers in particular. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Inside 90 seconds Ricky Holmes free kick met by Ryan Taylor. Gravity's | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
save deserve better than the tap in. Rafferty was making his league | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
debut in the Hartlepool goal and was not long to settle in. Bogdan was | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
brought down by Christian Burgess. The referee pointed to the spot but | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Taylor, who scored a penalty at Newport last week, could not be the | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
new keeper and Holmes couldn't match Webster's success with the rebound. | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
In truth it was all a little downhill after that. With the | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
exception of one slalom run from Jed Wallace in the second half. But | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
successive wins but isn't a great start for Andy offered at Pompey, | :13:53. | :13:53. | |
who trailed poll by just a point. When you are 23 in League Two and | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
three points from safety there is nothing like an early goal to settle | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the nerves that is what Chris Hackett provided for Northampton. | :14:09. | :14:20. | |
Accrington defend Aldred was already suffering from a head injury. | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
Northampton held on for a valuable victory. This week Wimbledon tweeted | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
the job application of the 29-year-old Sheffield postman who | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
said he wanted to play for him. The question is, could he he have done | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
worse than Jack Midson here. This second-half effort from Midson | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
forced a smart save from Mildenhall. By contrast, this was as difficult | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
as a got for Don's keeper, Worner. One suspects for these two sides, | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
the end of the season can't come quickly enough. Draw means that | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
Bristol Rovers move to fourth points off the relegation zone. It's almost | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
four points too close for comfort, Steve. What do you make of this | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
change of the back room, staff, Clarke coming in from assistant to | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
manager and Ward becoming Director of Football at the Memorial Stadium? | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
They were three points off when the change was made. It's something that | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
apparently has been in the offing for quite a while. I suppose they | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
thought, it's four games that they had when they made the change. They | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
thought that was the right time. However, if you are saying, is it | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
the ideal moment to make that decision, probably not. Then they | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
probably thought their hand had been forced in some way. Fleetwood got a | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
win against Oxford. Their pursuit of the top three is going. Oxford, for | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
the first time this season they are out of the top seven? Yeah. It's | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
been a poor run for an awful long time, hasn't it? Obviously, when the | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
manager left, Lewis took over, seven or eight games there where it wasn't | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
great. Three defeats under Gary. So, not that... They are very close. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
It's not like they can't get back into it. The way they are are going, | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
they are going one way and others are going that way. Northampton | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
picked up an win away from Sixfields a good win on their travels? I don't | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
buy that players prefer to play away from home than at home. Sometimes it | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
works out that way. Let's look at the tables before we sign off for | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
the night: Leicester have won promotion to the | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
Premier League from the Sky Bet Championship. The Foxes' Friday | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
night win, coupled with defeats for both Derby and QPR, means Nigel | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
Pearson's men are going up after a 10-year absence. Burnley moved 10 | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
points clear of third place after their late equaliser at Watford, | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
while Reading further cemented their play-off position moving five-points | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
clear of the chasing pack. No change in the relegation positions, despite | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
the bottom threeall picking up points. Only three-points separate | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
the bottom four sides. Wolves remain six-points clear at the top of | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
League One. Brentford further cemented their automatic promotion | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
hopes, moving six-points clear of third place. Rotherham's injury-time | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
winner moves them above Leyton Orient, who drop out of the top | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
three positions for the first time this season. Really tense finish on | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
the cards at the wrong end, with just four points separating the | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
bottom seven clubs. There were big wins for Tranmere, Carlisle, Crewe | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
and Shrewsbury. Stevenage drop to the bottom, but all still to play | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
for. Rochdale maintained their lead at the top of League Two despite a | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
second successive 0-0 draw. Scunthorpe move level on points | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
after extending their 25-match unbeaten run. After defeat at | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
Wembley last week, Chesterfield suffered more heartbreak after | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Newport's late equaliser, coupled with wins for Fleetwood and Burton, | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
cut the Spirerites lead to just three points. Torquay's position is | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
looking desperate as they sit seven-points adrift at the bottom of | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
League Two, 10 points from safety. Northampton kept their survival | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
hopes alive with only their tenth win of the season. However, they | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
remain three points behind Wycombe, who ended a six-match winless run at | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
home against the Daggers. That's your lot for another week,but | :18:08. | :18:19. | |
