:00:33. > :00:38.Evening. After the international break, today saw all three divisions
:00:38. > :00:42.of the Skybet Football League back in action. And barely six weeks in,
:00:42. > :00:44.the sacking season has already started, with the League's third
:00:44. > :00:47.longest-serving manager, Gregg Abbott, becoming the first casualty,
:00:48. > :00:50.ending his five years in charge at Brunton Park. And expect more player
:00:51. > :00:54.movement, too, with the emergency window now open for business for the
:00:54. > :00:58.next seven weeks. Leroy is here to see who could do with a fresh face,
:00:58. > :01:03.and who's doing just fine after Saturday's round of games. Owen
:01:03. > :01:07.Coyle has been ringing the changes at recently-relegated Wigan. The
:01:07. > :01:10.Latics were at Leicester, who could have gone joint top with their
:01:11. > :01:13.fourth win in seven. We have the best of the action from a terrific
:01:13. > :01:18.contest between two promotion candidates at the KP. They haven't
:01:18. > :01:21.beaten Blackburn in nearly 25 years - but after a good start, could Sean
:01:21. > :01:31.Dyche's Burnley overcome their local rivals in a Lancashire derby at Turf
:01:31. > :01:34.Moor? -- in 34 years. Two former England internationals are finding
:01:34. > :01:38.the transition to management something of a challenge at the
:01:38. > :01:39.bottom of League Two - I'm at Hartlepool for the visit of
:01:39. > :01:49.Accrington. And as ever, we've got plenty of
:01:49. > :01:56.goals to squeeze after another bursting fixture list. 103, in fact.
:01:56. > :01:59.Well, despite missing out on a play-off place by the narrowest of
:01:59. > :02:02.margins back in May, Leicester have got their new season off to an
:02:02. > :02:05.encouraging start with ten points from their opening five games. The
:02:06. > :02:09.Foxes, though, tasted their first defeat last time out, so were
:02:09. > :02:12.looking to bounce back against a new-look Wigan side, who appear to
:02:12. > :02:14.have adapted well to life back in the second tier. Commentary comes
:02:14. > :02:20.from Paul Walker. Two of the Championship's big
:02:20. > :02:28.hitters, head to head on the same Two of the Championship's big
:02:28. > :02:32.pitch for only the third time. Leicester City have failed to even
:02:32. > :02:37.score in the previous two meetings. But they start of today's match
:02:37. > :02:41.ahead of their opponents. Promotion for both this season is of paramount
:02:41. > :02:48.importance. Leicester City make three changes, one of them enforced,
:02:48. > :02:56.with James suspended. Anthony Knockaert, Lloyd Dyer and Paul
:02:56. > :02:59.Johnson ASCII come in. -- Paul Kutcher ski come in. There is a
:02:59. > :03:04.change of formation, as Nigel Pearson switches back to
:03:04. > :03:11.FourFourTwo. All of Wigan's internationals have returned home
:03:11. > :03:12.unscathed. James Perch comes in for James McCarthy, who has gone to
:03:12. > :03:35.Everton. The referee allowed play to
:03:35. > :03:43.continue. Leon Barnett read that one well, using his muscle. It is a
:03:43. > :03:49.throwing to Leicester City. Nugent takes it early, that was a good
:03:49. > :03:59.effort. Wigan were caught napping. The strike was crisp, but not on
:03:59. > :04:03.target. It will be Anthony Knockaert with the Leicester corner. Moore!
:04:03. > :04:10.Oh, the youngster is off the mark! with the Leicester corner. Moore!
:04:10. > :04:15.Look at the celebration. That is exactly what it means, as he puts a
:04:15. > :04:22.hole in the advertising board. The marking was awful. Anthony
:04:22. > :04:26.Knockaert's delivery, but look at the space for Moore. It was a
:04:26. > :04:36.thumping header. Leicester are ahead.
:04:36. > :04:50.This set piece is a long way out. Surely they will not strike from
:04:50. > :04:54.here. Watson hits it. Well, that was a venomous drive from Ben Watson. It
:04:54. > :05:06.was a really good hit. But it was not on target.
:05:06. > :05:17.That is needlessly given away, and Vardy will chase it. Good save,
:05:17. > :05:24.Carson. That could have been two, and it all came from a Wigan
:05:24. > :05:30.mistake. Gomez was sloppy in possession, and suddenly, Wigan were
:05:31. > :05:39.retreating. Vardy had the pace, but Scott Carson covered his front post
:05:39. > :05:46.well. Watson urging everybody forward.
:05:46. > :05:58.Barnett does well, and Schmeichel does equally so. And that is the
:05:58. > :06:02.last action of the half. It was a half in which Leicester City took
:06:02. > :06:06.the lead, with Kasper Schmeichel the hero at the end of it. Leon Barnett
:06:06. > :06:13.with a thumping drive, but the goalkeeper did well.
:06:13. > :06:26.That goes over the head of Rogne, and it might reach Vardy... Well,
:06:26. > :06:35.Nugent, for a man of his experience, he has got to be hitting the target
:06:35. > :06:43.there. James Perch, into the area... Schmeichel, equal to that effort.
:06:44. > :06:45.Boyce did well on the overlap, but Leicester's keeper comes up with the
:06:45. > :07:03.goods again. Drinkwater, Vardy will chase, Chris
:07:03. > :07:08.Wood goes down! Will it be a penalty? Yes, it will. The look on
:07:08. > :07:21.both a short's face tells you he is guilty. Vardy was causing him a
:07:21. > :07:26.problem, and Beausejour could not get out of the way, and there was
:07:26. > :07:33.contact. With ten minutes left, it is an opportunity for Leicester to
:07:34. > :07:38.put the game to bed. Can David Nugent make it count and wrap up
:07:38. > :07:45.three points at home? Nugent against Scott Carson... It is 2-0, and three
:07:45. > :07:51.points for Leicester City, surely. This time he does make Wigan pay.
:07:51. > :07:58.Scott Carson did his best but could not get enough on it. Leicester are
:07:58. > :08:02.surely home and hosed. Carson, moving around on his line, but
:08:02. > :08:17.Nugent puts it past him. Beausejour with the header away.
:08:17. > :08:25.Hammond lifts it over the top. Where is this going? Just wide, from Leon
:08:25. > :08:33.Barnett. If one passage of play sums up Wigan's afternoon, this is
:08:33. > :08:43.probably it. Total miscommunication. And it almost led to another goal.
:08:43. > :08:47.It is a good team performance, a good victory, against a side whose
:08:47. > :08:52.expectations will be very high this year. They have got a talented
:08:52. > :08:58.squad. And for us, it is a bit of a benchmark for us today. It was
:08:58. > :09:05.always going to be a difficult game, but I think that we are fully worth
:09:05. > :09:09.our three points today. We are disappointed to lose any game, of
:09:09. > :09:12.course. We came here against a very good side, a beautiful stadium and
:09:12. > :09:18.everything else. We started slowly, but having said that, we have lost a
:09:18. > :09:24.soft goal from a set play, a free header at the back. We have done it
:09:24. > :09:29.in training, and ultimately, somebody has not taken the
:09:29. > :09:37.responsibility to match the runner. First Leicester City goal, you must
:09:37. > :09:41.be delighted. Yes, it is my I did about five celebrations in one. So,
:09:41. > :09:49.it was an afternoon to remember, then. Leicester came through that
:09:49. > :09:53.test impressively. Yes, I was very impressed with them today. I know he
:09:53. > :09:56.said they started slowly, but I thought that was down to the
:09:56. > :10:00.intensity of Leicester's play. Wigan came into it in the second half, but
:10:00. > :10:07.they really missed Grant Holt, who is out for another month. They did
:10:07. > :10:16.not ingratiate themselves with their defending. They gave Leicester the
:10:16. > :10:20.freedom of the penalty area. Certainly, Wes Morgan is a big lad,
:10:20. > :10:24.and I am sure they were told to keep a close eye on him, but you cannot
:10:24. > :10:29.leave the other centre half with all of that space on the back post. I am
:10:29. > :10:34.surprised that was his first goal, he finished it so well. Yes, Wes
:10:34. > :10:38.Morgan having been on international duty in midweek, but also, Jamie
:10:38. > :10:45.Vardy has come on in leaps and bounds. Yes, his runs were full of
:10:45. > :10:49.energy, we will talk about his haircut later, because he needs to
:10:49. > :10:53.go back and finish that. But what he did today was to put the Wigan back
:10:53. > :11:02.for under intense pressure. The timing of his runs was excellent.
:11:02. > :11:07.Here, he tests the keeper. Although he did not get a goal, he got his
:11:07. > :11:12.reward by winning this penalty. In the end, Beausejour, through no
:11:12. > :11:18.fault of his own, has to bring him down. As for Wigan, they only had a
:11:18. > :11:21.handful of chances. As you mentioned, without Grant Holt. There
:11:21. > :11:26.is a lot of flair in the team, but mentioned, without Grant Holt. There
:11:26. > :11:31.maybe not enough penetration? Yes, Grant is a big miss, that is why he
:11:31. > :11:36.was brought to the club. You can hit him and get up the pitch. That was
:11:36. > :11:40.just missing for them. They have not kept a clean sheet in their last 14
:11:40. > :11:47.games, either. That will be a concern, the way they conceded, as
:11:47. > :11:51.well. As for the other Championship pacesetters, early leaders Blackpool
:11:51. > :11:55.went to Bournemouth, who have looked a different proposition at home,
:11:55. > :12:03.with Eddie Howe's men searching for their fourth straight win at home.
:12:03. > :12:09.Bournemouth are enjoying life in the Championship, and the flags were
:12:09. > :12:13.out. Blackpool wasted no time in making themselves at home. It was
:12:13. > :12:20.Ricardo Fuller who followed on from Jack Robinson's long throw.
:12:20. > :12:23.Bournemouth's response was of similar construction, following a
:12:23. > :12:28.long throw from Steve Cook. And it was a fifth goal of the season for
:12:28. > :12:32.Lewis Grabban. Back Paul gave a first start in more than a month to
:12:32. > :12:34.comments, who had been suffering from a groin injury. This run nearly
:12:34. > :12:42.comments, who had been suffering provided a goal. Shortly after half
:12:42. > :12:53.time, Neal Bishop got his first goal for Blackpool. But then left-back
:12:53. > :12:57.Jack Robinson, on loan from the Vincent -- on loan from Liverpool,
:12:57. > :13:06.got his second yellow card and was sent off. However, Blackpool held
:13:06. > :13:09.out to secure their best ever start to a Football League season,
:13:09. > :13:14.although manager Paul Ince was sent to the stands for throwing a water
:13:14. > :13:20.bottle in frustration at this late miss by Nathan Delfouneso. He tried
:13:20. > :13:22.to throw a water bottle at the advertising board, and it went
:13:22. > :13:31.underneath the fence. Fourth official has made that call. The
:13:31. > :13:36.funds available for Harry Redknapp and Lee Clark may be poles apart,
:13:36. > :13:42.but Harry Redknapp maintains that is no guarantee of success in this
:13:42. > :13:49.division. And Lee Clark's men gave QPR a run for their money. Andrew
:13:49. > :13:52.Shinnie's effort cleared the QPR a run for their money. Andrew
:13:52. > :13:56.crossbar on this occasion. When Birmingham did get the ball in the
:13:56. > :14:02.net, after the break, there was a sigh of relief around the ground
:14:02. > :14:06.thanks to the linesman's flag. It meant Jonathan Spector missed out on
:14:06. > :14:13.his first league goal in almost three years. The victory for QPR was
:14:13. > :14:20.clinched when Tom Adeyemi was spared embarrassment by the bar, but it was
:14:20. > :14:30.put in. Joey Barton's free kick nearly made it two. We keep edging
:14:30. > :14:33.the games 1-0 at the moment. I thought Birmingham played well. They
:14:33. > :14:40.came and played with three centre halves, pushing the fullbacks on,
:14:40. > :14:46.with one up, and they were good in the first half, they were better
:14:46. > :14:50.than us, really. I have got to look at the bigger picture and the
:14:50. > :14:53.general performances, and that is leaving me with a lot of positivity,
:14:53. > :14:55.because I am hoping that sooner rather than later, these lads will
:14:55. > :15:07.get the rub of the green. Lovely approach play from Forest.
:15:07. > :15:12.Another chance here. It must be a goal this time. Although the keeper
:15:12. > :15:17.saved it, there was no stopping the man on the follow-up. Forest lead.
:15:17. > :15:25.They are very good value for that lead as well.
:15:25. > :15:40.Penalty kick within a minute. Bradley had the -- Barnsley had the
:15:40. > :15:46.opportunity to draw level. The Forest fans are booing, this is
:15:46. > :15:52.Chris O'Grady for 1-1. A man in-form doesn't miss from 12 yards out.
:15:52. > :15:59.Chris O'Grady has his fourth goal of the season on the return to the city
:15:59. > :16:05.of his birth. Is there a dramatic finale today? From the free-kick.
:16:05. > :16:13.It's in. Forest have got the lead back. How Barnsley may well rue that
:16:13. > :16:28.free-kick. It was the defend defender Etuhu. What a strike! What
:16:28. > :16:33.an absolutely magnificent strike. Cywka has shown why his manager
:16:33. > :16:39.brought him onto the field of play. Wilson, Hernedson in the penalty
:16:39. > :16:46.area. Hernedson's header... Scores! Forest lead for the third time. He
:16:47. > :16:54.says, "I'm back." I'm become with a bang, Henderson. I thought that we
:16:54. > :16:56.were value for the win. We created numerous amounts of opportunities
:16:56. > :17:00.were value for the win. We created all the way through the game. On a
:17:00. > :17:10.different day it could have been 8-2. Delighted. Zola walked into
:17:10. > :17:19.Vicarage Road with a call for stout hearts in west hearts. It was
:17:19. > :17:29.Charlton who came closest to a first half goal. Wood bundled in a lose
:17:29. > :17:40.ball, the flag saved Almunia's blurbs. Wilson was foul fouled. The
:17:40. > :17:44.referee said penalty, after a brief moment of contemplation, Kermorgant
:17:44. > :17:48.said, thank you. The Frenchman scored twice against the Hornets
:17:48. > :17:54.last season. The home side's response was rapid. They are the
:17:54. > :18:05.Championship's leading scorers. Deeney was denied a sixth goal by
:18:05. > :18:13.Hamer. When Hamer failed to hold Fabbrini's shot, Pudil provided the
:18:13. > :18:18.equaliser. There after, both sides flirted with a winning goal. Jackson
:18:18. > :18:27.spurned an inviting chance for Charlton. Then at the other end,
:18:27. > :18:32.Murray's drive appeared to catch Dervite on the arm no. Penalty.
:18:32. > :18:36.Plenty of recriminations at the end of Watford's 1,000th draw in League
:18:36. > :18:42.football. We were not playing our best football. The I had a feeling
:18:42. > :18:51.they could nick it. It didn't happen. A couple of opportunities we
:18:51. > :18:58.were unlucky. Maybe a little bit (inaudible) The fans pre-season
:18:58. > :19:03.optimism about Bolton's prospects is diminishing fast Leeds are showing
:19:03. > :19:07.promising signs. This header was the first time they opened the scoring
:19:07. > :19:11.in a Championship match this season. No need for one of the fightbacks
:19:11. > :19:14.that has been a feature of their previous wins. Eagles whistled in
:19:14. > :19:20.the warning there was a long way to go. Wayward finishing would become
:19:20. > :19:25.the story of the match. Bolton's back-tracking gaving Hunt a good
:19:25. > :19:28.sight of goal. He couldn't test Bogdan. The same was true in the
:19:28. > :19:29.sight of goal. He couldn't test second-half, Murphy tried to double
:19:29. > :19:39.Leeds' advantage. Bolton remained in second-half, Murphy tried to double
:19:39. > :19:45.the bottom three. With two points so far, it's their worse start for half
:19:45. > :19:49.a century. There is a lot of suggestions there. We had a lot of
:19:49. > :19:54.play up the top to get a goal. We didn't hit the target. It was one
:19:54. > :19:59.ever these days where the away team used their experience to kill the
:19:59. > :20:05.game off. That is the frustrating thing. Went in front early. We could
:20:05. > :20:10.have scored a couple more goals in the first half. We got the right
:20:10. > :20:15.result. Delighted for everybody. Leeds climb up the table and pile
:20:15. > :20:21.the pressure on Bolton and their manager. The worst start for 50
:20:21. > :20:24.years at the Reebok Stadium, three blanks in the last four. They
:20:24. > :20:28.haven't got a great amount of money to play with to try and bring
:20:28. > :20:33.someone in to solve their goalscoring crisis? They have enough
:20:33. > :20:38.quality at the club to solve that. They have only scored three games
:20:38. > :20:43.and not won a League game. Not a shot on target until the 93rd
:20:43. > :20:48.minute. Now, you know, no matter what you do defensively, when you go
:20:48. > :20:51.into a game of no confidence of scoring games you are under pressure
:20:51. > :20:55.and his team are suffering because of it. Nottingham Forest, it was
:20:55. > :20:59.another good Saturday. They registered their fourth win of the
:20:59. > :21:06.season in a terrific game against Barnsley. Henderson popping up late
:21:06. > :21:12.to score the third and winning goal. If Davis was being picky he wants
:21:12. > :21:21.goal from his strikers. Two on Saturday? Absolutely, they scored
:21:21. > :21:24.10, into double figures. A slight concern. What will please Billy is
:21:24. > :21:28.10, into double figures. A slight their resilience. When they were
:21:28. > :21:32.pegged back they got back in front and got the three points. PR and
:21:32. > :21:38.Blackpool extend their fine starts to the season. We can sit here and
:21:38. > :21:40.predict how well Blackpool will do, they are confounding the critics at
:21:40. > :21:44.this early stage. They are showing they are confounding the critics at
:21:44. > :21:49.mental strength. To hold out for that win on Saturday at Bournemouth
:21:50. > :21:56.with 10 men for the last half an hour will please Paul Ince?
:21:57. > :22:02.Absolutely. Especially watching part of the game from the stand. They
:22:02. > :22:05.have always had their noses in front this season. When they manage to get
:22:06. > :22:11.in front they are holding onto it with a real desire.
:22:11. > :22:14.The Championship's early game involved one of the fiercest
:22:14. > :22:16.rivalries in the division as Burnley took on Blackburn in an East
:22:16. > :22:20.Lancashire derby. With third place up for grabs for
:22:20. > :22:23.the winners for a few hours at least, for Burnley there was also
:22:23. > :22:26.the chance to claim their first win over Rovers since 1979.
:22:26. > :22:29.Just one change for the Clarets, as new loan signing Michael Kightly was
:22:29. > :22:33.given his full debut. As for Rovers, also just the one
:22:33. > :22:36.change as Corry Evans made his first start in place of the injured David
:22:36. > :23:16.Charged down wide. Major let-up for Blackburn's goalkeeper. Kean is the
:23:16. > :23:22.luckiest man inside the stadium. Trippier. Off his own crossbar
:23:22. > :23:33.there. Off the defender's touch. As that ball came zipping in, it was
:23:33. > :23:47.almost a touch that put his own-goal keeper (inaudible) King again, with
:23:47. > :23:52.a double save to ensure it stays goalless. King has been the busiest
:23:52. > :24:19.goalkeeper in the match. Good save, Heaton. Down low to his
:24:19. > :24:34.left. A fine, low save. Stretching away, Heaton. It would have found #
:24:34. > :24:38.the bottom corn corner this shot but for the goalkeeper's intervention. A
:24:38. > :25:02.free-kick, foul against Arfield. Marshall's shot. On target. Heaton
:25:02. > :25:26.made a neat and clean save. Good pace. Here goes Trippier with
:25:26. > :25:34.purpose. Jones. Stanislas. Stanislas! A belter for Burnley.
:25:34. > :25:43.It's brilliant. It's brutal. It 's Stanislas here for Burnley. Takes,
:25:43. > :25:49.turns. Back to him. He just let fly. Stanislas, what a hit! What a
:25:49. > :25:51.moment! What a way to break that Derby deadlock in Lancashire. It's
:25:51. > :26:11.wonderful. The backpass has come, now Jordan
:26:11. > :26:21.Rhodes. A big mistake. An own-goal as well. Blackburn have equalised.
:26:21. > :26:36.Arfield's backpass was wretched. It flies past Heaton. It's 1-1.
:26:36. > :26:48.Tucked away from almost on the goal-line. Ings, was he pulled back
:26:48. > :26:53.by Williamson? He has just come on here. He will go off as well. It's a
:26:54. > :27:00.clear red card. No doubt. Ings was away. We were good first half. A
:27:00. > :27:05.mixture of good football in order to away. We were good first half. A
:27:05. > :27:09.create chances. Second-half of the game, eased slightly. They went more
:27:09. > :27:15.direct and gave it a different feet field. It turned into a Derby, more
:27:15. > :27:21.scrappy. We never looked into too much trouble. A moment of squat from
:27:21. > :27:25.slang slags, a goal Worthing of winning the game. A lucky break for
:27:25. > :27:29.them to get an equaliser. We live and learn. Burnley... I will start
:27:29. > :27:33.again. They didn't shade it. They were better than us first half. We
:27:33. > :27:37.spoke at half-time honestly. We came out and I thought we were better
:27:37. > :27:42.second-half. I thought their goal was a wonder goal against the run of
:27:42. > :27:47.play, in my opinion. We remarkably showed great character and spirit to
:27:47. > :27:52.get back in the game. Blackburn get a point. For Burnley that painful
:27:52. > :27:58.wait to beat their bitter rivals goes on. Can they count themselves
:27:58. > :28:02.unlucky? Definitely. They played really well first half. Didn't test
:28:02. > :28:06.the keepers as much as Sean would have liked. Second-half more even.
:28:06. > :28:11.Outstanding goal. When you score a goal like that, with 15 minutes to
:28:11. > :28:16.go, you think you will go on and get the three points. Stanislas on the
:28:16. > :28:20.pitch for three minutes. That finish is as clean as a strike you will see
:28:20. > :28:24.this weekend. A wonderful strike into that bottom corner. They felt
:28:24. > :28:31.they were going to win the game. This backpass from Arfield. He has a
:28:31. > :28:36.lot to do. You think, they have no chance now, as soon as he turns
:28:36. > :28:41.inside. He gets a bit of luck. Blackburn come away with a point.
:28:41. > :28:45.Burnley, it continues has been a solid start to the season. It is
:28:45. > :28:52.fair to say there was scepticism, I suppose, around Turf Moor when Sean
:28:52. > :28:56.arrived, he is winning them over? Certainly. Burnley wanted to fit the
:28:56. > :28:59.template with Sean. They wanted an up-and-coming manager full of
:28:59. > :29:03.enthusiasm. They got that. They have a coach developing players. They
:29:03. > :29:06.have a small squad who soo seem to have a great spirit. I was impressed
:29:06. > :29:10.with how they knocked the ball around. The one touch play was
:29:10. > :29:13.exceptional. He is turning the fans around, I think the players are in
:29:13. > :29:17.his favour as well and right behind him.
:29:17. > :29:22.Our last look at the Championship now and Steve Lomas was hoping that
:29:22. > :29:25.successive draws for Millwall were the early signs of a recovery
:29:25. > :29:28.following their poor start to the new campaign.
:29:28. > :29:30.The Lions went in search of their first goal and win at home against
:29:30. > :29:41.Nigel Clough's Derby. another bleak day for Millwall,
:29:41. > :29:48.beaten heavily at home and lead them another bleak day for Millwall,
:29:48. > :29:55.by spectator behaviour. Derby went ahead through Jake Buxton header.
:29:55. > :30:01.Jamie Ward had set that up and also created the visitors' second. Craig
:30:01. > :30:05.Bryson returning it with interest. Derby two up at a ground where they
:30:05. > :30:08.had not won for 18 years. Shane Lowry compounded his team's problems
:30:08. > :30:17.with a reckless challenge on will use. The six' red card of his brief
:30:17. > :30:29.career. The extension of Derby's 100% away record was now assured. It
:30:29. > :30:37.provoked a response from a group of spectators unhappy at the supremacy
:30:37. > :30:40.shown by Derby. Players targeted with objects thrown from the crowd.
:30:40. > :30:45.On the other side of the pitch, Derby manager Nigel Clough was
:30:45. > :30:50.approached by another fan as he tried to substitute Smith for his
:30:50. > :30:58.own safety. Andy Garner chasing the impostor away. Amidst calls for the
:30:58. > :31:02.head of Steve Lomas, there were brief respite, including Martyn
:31:02. > :31:07.Waghorn marking his debut with a well taken goal. Ciaran Freeman and
:31:08. > :31:11.Will Hughes worked the opportunity for Bryson to complete his
:31:11. > :31:17.hat-trick. The first league treble for the club since Paul Simpson 17
:31:17. > :31:22.years ago. The first away from home since 1967. And there was still time
:31:22. > :31:26.for Mason Bennett to score his first league goal. Five for drama and a
:31:26. > :31:32.drama threatens to become a crisis for Millwall. You can see the fans
:31:32. > :31:35.coming down to the front of the pitch and getting a little bit
:31:35. > :31:40.worried, to be fair. That is why we made a quick decision to get at them
:31:40. > :31:45.off and get Kieran Freeman on, because it could have got out of
:31:45. > :31:48.hand. Me and the staff have to look at ourselves and see whether we are
:31:48. > :31:53.doing the right things and preparing the boys properly. First and
:31:53. > :32:01.foremost, we will look at ourselves and see if we can do anything
:32:01. > :32:05.better, but today was unacceptable. Doncaster's search for a slice of
:32:05. > :32:11.luck continues. Without an away win this season, they had Huddersfield
:32:11. > :32:15.on the ropes at times, after Alex Smithies had saved from Chris Brown,
:32:15. > :32:17.the striker's second effort was disallowed for Theo Robinson's
:32:17. > :32:24.the striker's second effort was challenge on the keeper. Soon
:32:24. > :32:30.afterwards, it was James born's turn. The Championship player of the
:32:30. > :32:31.month has received plaudits for his scoring record so far but did
:32:31. > :32:39.month has received plaudits for his brilliantly in defence to deflect
:32:39. > :32:43.the effort away. Adam Clayton Pentax Joel Lynch in the second half but he
:32:43. > :32:46.couldn't find the village. On balance, a draw was probably the
:32:47. > :32:54.fairest result, with both managers content with a point. It shows you
:32:54. > :33:00.we are going with the right -- in the right direction, good defensive
:33:00. > :33:04.display and we are unfortunate not to get through. On another day,
:33:04. > :33:11.being more forthright, we could have converted one of those chances in
:33:11. > :33:13.the second half. Tony Felix Morrison has just carried
:33:13. > :33:17.the second half. a fridge the length of the country
:33:17. > :33:20.the charity, which may strike a chord with Tony Mowbray, the
:33:20. > :33:25.Middlesbrough manager may feel he has the weight of the world on his
:33:25. > :33:31.shoulders. But one of his eight summer signings gave him reason to
:33:31. > :33:35.believe, thinking they may reverse the slump in form. But not yet,
:33:35. > :33:41.David McGoldrick blasting Ipswich back on terms and after the break,
:33:41. > :33:48.another facet of his game, dropping deep before Aaron Cresswell spotted
:33:48. > :33:52.Luke Chambers loitering with intent. Portman Road loving the turnaround.
:33:52. > :33:57.Middlesbrough stuck on one win for the season so far. McGoldrick coming
:33:57. > :34:06.up with the coolest finish since Tony Loveridge pitched up in lands
:34:06. > :34:12.end last week. McGoldrick has left McCarthy feeling flush. The 20
:34:12. > :34:17.minutes, until we went behind, not particularly good and the
:34:17. > :34:20.disappointing to concede from a corner but it kicked us into life
:34:20. > :34:23.and I thought we played well, deserved equaliser and deserved the
:34:23. > :34:30.three points. Second half, we were dominant. Still without a win this
:34:30. > :34:32.season, Wednesday couldn't have asked for a better opportunity than
:34:32. > :34:37.this. They took the lead when Yeovil
:34:37. > :34:41.failed to play but the whistle. They stopped when Atdhe Nuhiu was flagged
:34:41. > :34:47.offside, but the referee played on, allowing him to finish from
:34:47. > :34:56.Antonio's pass. A quick conference confirmed that Mister Eltringham had
:34:56. > :35:00.overruled his assistant and Atdhe Nuhiu wasn't interfering. In fact,
:35:00. > :35:04.he wasn't offside at all but the flight had gone up and Yeovil felt
:35:05. > :35:10.hard done by. Perhaps that had a bearing on Webster's red card, Saint
:35:10. > :35:14.of just before the interval after taking out his frustration on the
:35:14. > :35:20.goal-scorer. Eltringham correct again in spotting the punch and
:35:20. > :35:24.reducing Yeovil to ten men for the whole of the second half. But whence
:35:24. > :35:28.they have mastered the art of surrendering leads and somehow threw
:35:28. > :35:35.it away for the fourth game in a row -- Wednesday. Yeovil's fourth league
:35:35. > :35:42.goal since the opening day of the season. The ten men held on, despite
:35:42. > :35:45.Wayne Hennessey mishandling and Antonio shot. Another bad result the
:35:45. > :35:53.Sheffield Wednesday, which will do nothing to improve their shattered
:35:53. > :35:56.confidence. We looked a little bit scared to play, to get about an
:35:56. > :36:01.asset, and you can't do that when you are at home. You have got to be
:36:01. > :36:06.able to rise above it and when they went down to ten men, it affected us
:36:06. > :36:12.more. So Yeovil get that elusive goal since the opening day, and
:36:12. > :36:20.something to build on. An incident packed match at the Den. On the
:36:20. > :36:22.footballing side, a positive result the Derby. All five goals against
:36:22. > :36:26.footballing side, a positive result ten men, but the first league
:36:26. > :36:31.hat-trick, amazingly, in a Derby shirt for 17 years. It was a great
:36:31. > :36:37.one as well, three great strikes from Craig Bryson. He makes a lovely
:36:37. > :36:42.late run into the box for this one and drills it into the corner. A
:36:42. > :36:47.real positive, after that defeat to Burnley. It was a great way to
:36:47. > :36:50.bounce back. It is the nature of the defeat that sticks in the throat of
:36:50. > :36:57.the Millwall fans. They are still without a win, Steve Lomas started
:36:57. > :37:02.his tenure on the back foot. It is a shame to report tonight that there
:37:02. > :37:05.was a fan who ran onto the pitch, he pushed Nigel Clough, the Derby
:37:06. > :37:12.manager before making his way out of the stadium. He didn't get caught,
:37:12. > :37:15.which is incredible. You can see the work Millwall do with the community
:37:15. > :37:19.to get rid of this tarnished image, but idiots like him don't help their
:37:19. > :37:23.cause. Speaking that they will be disappointed that not only has he
:37:23. > :37:28.been allowed to get on the pitch but he has been allowed to assault a
:37:28. > :37:31.manager. Idiots like this, we don't know where they come from, or what
:37:31. > :37:34.is in their heads when they come onto the pitch, but there didn't
:37:34. > :37:39.seem to be a lot of people showing any urgency to catch on. From start
:37:39. > :37:44.to finish, a really poor day at the Millwall football club. For Steve
:37:44. > :37:49.Lomas, the pressure has intensified. He doesn't know what his best side
:37:49. > :38:00.is, 23 players he has used this season and that performance won't
:38:00. > :38:01.help. They can't get a win, but he needs to galvanise the squad and
:38:01. > :38:04.they need to get together, put this needs to galvanise the squad and
:38:04. > :38:05.behind them and move forward. And a moment for Ipswich on that
:38:05. > :38:06.behind them and move forward. And a convicting victory against
:38:06. > :38:10.Middlesbrough. And League One, Leyton Orient went into the weekend
:38:10. > :38:14.top of the table thanks to the only perfect points tally in the football
:38:14. > :38:19.league. For Orient, it is their best start in their 131 year history.
:38:19. > :38:21.Russell Slade was unsurprisingly named manager of the month and saw
:38:21. > :38:33.his team welcome Port Vale. At first, it seemed the well worn
:38:33. > :38:40.manager of the month curse had struck again when Tom Pope's cross
:38:40. > :38:47.was finished emphatically by Louis Dodds to put Orient behind the first
:38:47. > :38:51.time this season. But they level with grid in controversial
:38:51. > :38:56.circumstances. The linkup between Kevin Lisbie and David Mooney was
:38:56. > :39:02.superb, but even a scorer looked for the flag before celebrating. But no
:39:02. > :39:06.doubt about his second. Chris Robinson forced into a cheap
:39:06. > :39:12.concession before David Mooney was picked out again. But Port Vale
:39:12. > :39:17.weren't prepared to become the latest victim of the leaders without
:39:17. > :39:22.a fight. Jamie Jones didn't deal with a cross and Jennison
:39:22. > :39:28.Myrie-Williams rammed the ball back through the crowd. And he almost
:39:28. > :39:32.created the story of the day in League One with a free kick which
:39:32. > :39:38.rattled both the crossbar and the leaders. But Orient are still
:39:38. > :39:39.invincible, and six out of six was achieved with a flourish by Kevin
:39:39. > :39:50.Lisbie. Can anyone stop them? I thought it was a good
:39:50. > :39:54.advertisement for League One football, both teams trying to win a
:39:54. > :39:58.match and that bit of quality from Kevin Lisbie got us the points. With
:39:58. > :40:02.that level of performance, I think we deserved at least a point but
:40:02. > :40:13.they have shown what a good side they are. If you switch, they can
:40:13. > :40:17.cause you problems. Only the scorer will learn whether
:40:17. > :40:24.his first goal for Wolves was a complete fluke or shot, but they
:40:24. > :40:28.seemed to take a stranglehold on the proceedings before the break. Leigh
:40:28. > :40:32.Griffiths with terrific work and Kevin Doyle's first ever goal at
:40:32. > :40:36.this level doubled the lead. But Swindon have been in sparkling form
:40:36. > :40:42.themselves and very nearly cut the deficit is just past the hour. Ryan
:40:42. > :40:46.Mason out of luck. But he was becoming a major influence, and it
:40:46. > :40:49.was from his pass that Dany N'Guessan got the Robins back into
:40:49. > :40:55.the game with just eight minutes left. Wolves were under real
:40:55. > :41:03.pressure now, but in the last minute after 90, Kevin Foley latched onto a
:41:03. > :41:06.quality pass to provide a 2-goal cushion for a second time. And they
:41:06. > :41:14.needed it. Because less than 90 seconds later, Mason lashed home a
:41:14. > :41:19.wonderful goal from 35 yards. But Wolves had just about done enough.
:41:19. > :41:25.It was a fantastic performance. We dominated the game from start to
:41:25. > :41:31.finish. We dominated the football. With school two good goals and ended
:41:31. > :41:35.up losing 3-2. -- we scored. I'm so proud of the players, they were
:41:35. > :41:40.fantastic. It has been a worryingly slow start
:41:40. > :41:42.for Bristol city, with no win in five league games and facing the
:41:42. > :41:50.country's highest away scorers, Peterborough. But Craig Alcock's
:41:50. > :42:01.shot put into the path of Tyrone Barnett, all of his goals this
:42:01. > :42:03.season have come on the road. Assombalonga has started brilliantly
:42:03. > :42:10.and was too much for James O'Connor to handle. But Frank Fielding made
:42:10. > :42:17.an excellent save from the spot. The second half was Assombalonga's. His
:42:17. > :42:19.first goal was all about fearsome power. Simply unsaleable, this is
:42:19. > :42:27.first goal was all about fearsome already number six in Posh colours.
:42:27. > :42:31.-- unassailable. But his game is more than goal-scoring. There is
:42:31. > :42:33.pace, dribbling and finishing like this. Money well spent by Darren
:42:33. > :42:40.Ferguson. With wins over both of their big
:42:40. > :42:47.city rivals from Sheffield already With wins over both of their big
:42:47. > :42:50.in the bag this season, Rob Rob are really enjoying life, and when
:42:50. > :43:01.former Sampdoria defender Lanzoni handled, Daniel Nardiello made no
:43:01. > :43:05.mistake from 12 yards. Oldham are not in the same positive frame of
:43:05. > :43:07.mind at the moment, and when David Mellor left something oddly
:43:07. > :43:12.Frecklington after the ball had gone, he left referee Richard Clarke
:43:12. > :43:18.with no doubt about how to deal with it. But going down to ten men seemed
:43:18. > :43:22.to galvanise the visitors, and they turned the match around either side
:43:22. > :43:31.of the break. First, Colombian Cristian Montano showed some South
:43:31. > :43:38.American flair before Lanzoni purged his first goal in English football.
:43:38. > :43:42.-- poached. However, Rotherham are made of stern stuff and Frecklington
:43:42. > :43:48.timed his run perfectly to restore parity. And as the clock ticked into
:43:48. > :43:53.the first minute of injury time, heavy pressure eventually brought
:43:53. > :43:58.its reward, as Nardiello was kept at once, but not twice, as Rotherham's
:43:58. > :44:09.strong start continues. -- kept at once. The slick finishing of Nahki
:44:10. > :44:17.Wells has been a major factor in Bradford's impressive start to the
:44:17. > :44:22.season. Once again, he was composed inside the box. But Colchester
:44:22. > :44:28.responded with two splendid goals of their own. Jeffrey Monakana buried
:44:28. > :44:36.the equaliser, a fine finish from the on loan teenager. Four minutes
:44:36. > :44:43.later, it was a sweet finish into the opposite corner from Jabo
:44:43. > :44:51.Ibehre. But it was Wells who got his 17th goal in the last 16 games for
:44:51. > :44:54.Bradford. Colchester might have won it through substitute Gavin Massey,
:44:54. > :45:00.but he struck the upright. Unfortunately, the game ended on a
:45:00. > :45:14.sour note, with a red code after this heavy challenge. He had only
:45:14. > :45:20.been on the field for five minutes. It was entertainment at its finest
:45:20. > :45:28.at Deepdale. Stuart Bevan and Iain Hume were denied before Joel Biron
:45:28. > :45:33.fired wide. Rory Deacon almost found a way through for the away team. It
:45:33. > :45:39.was kept out by Declan Rudd, and then the rebound was put over the
:45:39. > :45:43.bar. This was Graham Westley's first return to Deepdale since he left
:45:43. > :45:46.Preston in February. He reckons Preston are stronger for the work he
:45:46. > :45:54.did when he was there. The first goal came from Paul Huntingdon just
:45:54. > :46:01.on half-time, following a cross from Scott Laird. And it was Scott Laird
:46:01. > :46:09.with the second himself, his first goal of the new season. Kevin Davies
:46:09. > :46:14.scored his first for Preston from the penalty spot against Oldham on
:46:14. > :46:23.Monday, but today saw his first from open play.
:46:23. > :46:30.For to say, Graham Westley has had better days in the office. We saw
:46:30. > :46:33.eight dramatic late winner for Leyton Orient, continuing their
:46:33. > :46:40.great start to the season. Another late win, this time for Rotherham,
:46:40. > :46:45.and somehow, they have clawed back 11 points this season from losing
:46:45. > :46:52.positions. There is a feel-good factor around the club, Leroy.
:46:52. > :46:57.Certainly, and they have carried it on from last season, with this
:46:57. > :47:02.fantastic unbeaten run, and they managed to get a late win, thanks to
:47:02. > :47:08.the winner from Daniel Nardiello. At Ashton gate, we saw Peterborough on
:47:08. > :47:12.the road, winning again, and keeping a clean sheet. The quality of the
:47:12. > :47:18.goals is incredible, but to think, after this game, 13 points
:47:18. > :47:25.separating these two teams, at this early stage, it is quite something.
:47:25. > :47:28.Yes, and as you said, it shows where the two clubs are. Fantastic
:47:28. > :47:33.finishing by Assombalonga, as you said, by the way. I think Sean
:47:34. > :47:38.O'Driscoll is trying to make progress at Bristol city, but that
:47:38. > :47:44.gap is massive already. Bristol city have got to get their act together.
:47:44. > :47:50.He is trying to change a lot behind the scenes, no doubt. Yes, when you
:47:50. > :47:52.get a turnover of managers in a short space of time, you need to
:47:52. > :47:57.settle down and follow your plan. I short space of time, you need to
:47:57. > :48:02.have got the plan, they need to bed it in and start moving forward.
:48:02. > :48:05.Elsewhere in league one, Crawley followed up their sensational win at
:48:06. > :48:10.Peterborough with victory against jailing last week. On Saturday, they
:48:10. > :48:17.were hoping to make it three wins from three at home to Shrewsbury.
:48:17. > :48:20.Crawley were keen to build on successive victories and were given
:48:20. > :48:26.an opportunity to do so just before half-time, when Darren Jones gave up
:48:26. > :48:30.on the subtle approach to stop Micky Adams, but the penalty was missed,
:48:30. > :48:33.although Chris Weale was some way off his line when he stopped it.
:48:33. > :48:37.although Chris Weale was some way That's save look even better when a
:48:37. > :48:48.fine cross from Ryan Woods resulted in an even more impressive finish
:48:48. > :48:55.from Aaron Wildig. But Andy Drury in an even more impressive finish
:48:55. > :49:02.then got the first goal of his second spell at Crawley. Unbeaten in
:49:02. > :49:08.their six league games before kick-off, it took MK Dons just five
:49:08. > :49:13.minutes to open the scoring against struggling Notts County. Luke
:49:13. > :49:17.Chadwick's first goal since November was put away sweetly after some
:49:17. > :49:25.composed play from Patrick Bamford. Notts County got just one point from
:49:25. > :49:26.their opening five matches, but MK Dons midfielder Sean Williams
:49:26. > :49:33.doubled the lead with a delightful Dons midfielder Sean Williams
:49:33. > :49:37.free kick. Notts County were on the way to their worst league start in
:49:37. > :49:42.56 years. There was some brief hope after Callum McGregor raced onto
:49:42. > :49:49.this pass to cut the deficit. The young Scot was getting his second
:49:49. > :49:52.goal in consecutive games. But Patrick Amphlett, on loan from
:49:52. > :49:58.Chelsea, was to have the final word by starting and finishing the move
:49:58. > :50:13.to get the final goal. -- Patrick Bamford. It puts them back up into
:50:13. > :50:15.the top six. Uwe Rosler tightened up his defence with Martin Taylor, on
:50:15. > :50:28.loan from Sheffield Wednesday. He had an impact at the other end, with
:50:28. > :50:35.a debut goal inside three minutes. The Bees kept possession, and
:50:35. > :50:41.Clayton Donaldson converted, after a mistake from Ian Goodison. Six home
:50:41. > :50:45.league games without a win was the worst home run for Tranmere in eight
:50:45. > :50:48.years. They pulled a goal back through on loan Chris Atkinson. Loan
:50:48. > :50:52.players are a constant theme in this one. And on loan from Crewe town, it
:50:52. > :51:01.players are a constant theme in this was Adam Dugdale who restored parity
:51:01. > :51:06.with just his fourth career goal. Donaldson then got another one for
:51:06. > :51:11.Brentford. Cole Stockton then got his first goal since February. But
:51:11. > :51:18.later still, with effectively the last action of the game, the referee
:51:18. > :51:22.saw a handball by Dugdale. Adam Forshaw went for brute force, and
:51:22. > :51:33.won the game with the odd goal in seven. Two defeats in around was a
:51:33. > :51:37.shock to a Walsall side with big ambitions this season, but two goals
:51:37. > :51:42.in three minutes helped them restore their poise. Both came from Craig
:51:42. > :51:47.Westcarr, who punished crew for their less than decisive defending.
:51:47. > :51:53.He then capitalised on even more slack defending for the second. It
:51:53. > :52:06.was Westcarr who forced the error and won the penalty, which he then
:52:06. > :52:11.scored with a minimum of fuss. And Crewe worldwide open yet again when
:52:11. > :52:18.James Baxendale strode through to set them up for their visit of
:52:18. > :52:23.Wolves in midweek. I thought the first goal was crucial. It changed
:52:23. > :52:31.everything and gave us a lot more belief. We then pressed higher up
:52:31. > :52:37.the pitch. Following Greg Abbott's sacking, caretaker manager Graham
:52:37. > :52:41.Kavanagh took charge of Carlisle for the visit of Sheffield United. And
:52:41. > :52:45.it brought about a change of luck for the Cumbrians. Matty Robson's
:52:45. > :52:51.second-half header just about crossed the line. It was enough for
:52:52. > :52:57.Carlisle's first league win of the season. They overtake the blaze,
:52:57. > :53:04.whose Wotan start continued. -- the Blades. David Weir could become the
:53:04. > :53:09.next managerial casualty. Great start, could not have asked for any
:53:09. > :53:13.more. As I said earlier, it has been a difficult week, most definitely.
:53:13. > :53:18.The manager leaving on Monday was quite upsetting. He was incredibly
:53:18. > :53:24.gracious and dignified in the manner in which he left. He said to myself
:53:24. > :53:29.and the staff, look, as a parting gesture, do your best to get us a
:53:29. > :53:33.win. To say it has been a difficult week would be a bit of an
:53:33. > :53:38.understatement, and that was a perfect response. Certainly, it
:53:38. > :53:42.lifted the spirits it was a sad day for the young players at the club
:53:42. > :53:47.especially, he had a Biggin plans on them. I think he did really well at
:53:47. > :53:50.Carlisle, getting them to two Wembley finals. Let's hope he gets
:53:50. > :54:01.back soon. Where does this leave Sheffield United? It is hardly ideal
:54:01. > :54:10.for David Weir, with a new owner at the football club as well.
:54:10. > :54:15.Absolutely. This Prince Abdullah, they say it is a game changer, but
:54:15. > :54:19.you cannot just come in and all of a sudden everything is different
:54:19. > :54:22.because you have got money to spend. David finds himself in a difficult
:54:22. > :54:24.position, he has gone in, trying to build something, and all of a sudden
:54:24. > :54:27.it is not going so well, but you build something, and all of a sudden
:54:27. > :54:30.need to stick with your principles build something, and all of a sudden
:54:30. > :54:34.which you have gone into the club with, but all of a sudden, with this
:54:34. > :54:37.massive investment, it is going to be difficult to deal with. At
:54:37. > :54:43.Brunton Park, Tranmere thought they had got an equaliser, but up popped
:54:43. > :54:46.Adam Forshaw with the winning penalty for Brentford, for their
:54:46. > :54:51.first away win of the season. It will bring back what happened
:54:51. > :54:56.towards the end of last season? Yes, I thought they had put that to bed
:54:56. > :55:00.at the end of last season. As soon they missed that penalty against
:55:00. > :55:05.Doncaster, a lot of people, including myself, thought they would
:55:05. > :55:09.capitulate, but they didn't, they got to the final, and got beaten by
:55:09. > :55:17.the better side on the day, Yeovil. But it was a great victory today. In
:55:17. > :55:21.league two, a battle to rid chain Football League status was probably
:55:21. > :55:24.not what Lewis Alessandra and James Beattie had in mind when they
:55:24. > :55:31.embarked on their managerial careers. Clem joined the two former
:55:31. > :55:45.England international is. -- internationals.
:55:45. > :55:56.Three Lions on their chest may have been a common thread for these two
:55:56. > :56:03.as players, but their paths into management have taken rather
:56:03. > :56:07.different routes. BT has moved seamlessly from the pitch to the
:56:07. > :56:10.dugout, taking control of the club accustomed to struggling at the
:56:10. > :56:16.wrong end of the Football League since their return in 2006, while
:56:16. > :56:20.Cooper has spent nearly a decade behind-the-scenes at Middlesbrough
:56:20. > :56:26.and, briefly, Bradford city. He inherits a side which has spent all
:56:26. > :56:30.but one season over the past decade in league one, before this year's
:56:30. > :56:38.relegation. Has your apprenticeship being by default or by design? By
:56:38. > :56:43.design, definitely. The last eight years of my life have been to try to
:56:43. > :56:46.get to this point, really. What has been the biggest culture shock for
:56:46. > :56:50.you, because you have played at the highest level? I do not think there
:56:50. > :56:54.you, because you have played at the has been a culture shock. I think
:56:54. > :57:00.the hours that I work is probably the difference. You can see the
:57:00. > :57:04.crows feet appearing already. To begin with, I was honoured that they
:57:04. > :57:10.would give me the opportunity and now I have got to repay it by trying
:57:10. > :57:13.to get things stabilised and get Hartlepool on the up, giving the
:57:13. > :57:28.supporters something to smile about. We will see what he can do.
:57:28. > :57:37.We will go on a roll, definitely. Thanks to Hartlepool, I am having a
:57:37. > :57:41.ball. My dad was a truck driver, and my feet have always been on the
:57:42. > :57:46.ground. I have always been pretty grounded. I do not mind getting my
:57:46. > :57:54.hands dirty and doing any sort of job around the club. He has got a
:57:54. > :57:58.lot of experience and contacts, so it is good for the club. They have
:57:58. > :58:04.been playing well, just not getting the rub of the green. It does not
:58:04. > :58:08.matter how many e-mails I get, saying how well we have played, but
:58:08. > :58:14.what matters is points on the board, and we need to start getting them.
:58:15. > :58:22.Nobody gets to see them, these are my happy socks, the best of the
:58:22. > :58:27.happy socks I have. Show it to the players, and everybody can have some
:58:27. > :58:31.happiness. If I am not smiling, maybe it will give them something to
:58:31. > :58:36.smile about. But we are working hard to try to get some results on the
:58:36. > :58:39.table for ourselves, or the players, for the fans. You can only keep
:58:39. > :58:42.working hard, day in, day out, on the training ground, and hope that
:58:42. > :58:54.the tide turns in your favour. Hartlepool were almost the early
:58:54. > :58:59.beneficiaries of eight perfect, defence-splitting backpass, but the
:58:59. > :59:04.striker did not show enough composure. The home side's pressure
:59:04. > :59:11.paid off soon afterwards, when Jonathan Franks was given plenty of
:59:11. > :59:19.time to measure his finish. Hartlepool quickly seized the
:59:19. > :59:25.initiative, with this backheel wrong footing everybody, apart from Andy
:59:25. > :59:31.Monkhouse. But some classic Route one football got Accrington back
:59:31. > :59:41.into it. James Gray with the tidy finish. That set up a very tense
:59:41. > :59:45.final half an hour. Scott Flinders stayed alert to keep out this
:59:45. > :59:54.cross, as Hartlepool dug in to claim that first win.
:59:54. > :00:00.Fair play to Accrington for having a right go, a game that should have
:00:00. > :00:06.been finished on the hour. We should have been Fife or six up. As much as
:00:06. > :00:11.we get anxious and are getting, the voice box obviously, they thoroughly
:00:12. > :00:18.deserved it. We have a fight on our hands. I have never been one to
:00:18. > :00:22.shirk a fight. We can either sulk and not do anything about it, or
:00:22. > :00:30.roll our sleeves up and get stuck in and get some wins. Happy socks?
:00:30. > :00:43.Happy manager today for a change. Good result for Hartlepool at the
:00:43. > :00:48.end of. It out of those two, who has the toughest job? What a question?
:00:48. > :00:52.They are both extremely tough jobs. I would say the level of expectation
:00:52. > :00:56.at Hartlepool is slightly higher. They had a couple of rough seasons.
:00:56. > :01:01.Colin has to stop the slump before they can move forward. Hopefully
:01:01. > :01:05.that will have happened. For James at Accrington they operated around
:01:05. > :01:10.the lower reaches of the division. When you are losing games week in,
:01:11. > :01:15.week out that is when your true ability comes out. They talk about
:01:16. > :01:20.hard work. You can work the players when you are losing games. You have
:01:20. > :01:25.to manage it correctly so they get rest and light heartedness to lift
:01:25. > :01:29.their spirits. A tough job for both managers. They are learning quickly.
:01:29. > :01:35.When they come through it, they will be better managers. We wish them
:01:35. > :01:38.luck of course. More from League Two now and we
:01:38. > :01:39.start with Friday's game at Roots Hall between Southend and
:01:39. > :01:43.Scunthorpe. Phil Brown looking for a response
:01:43. > :01:48.from his side after last week's home defeat at the hands of Morecambe.
:01:48. > :01:53.Southend went into the game off the back of three consecutive defeats
:01:53. > :01:56.but had the better of the first half, Leonard went closer than
:01:56. > :02:06.anyone else without looking like scoring. Brown's men were meant to
:02:06. > :02:14.regret failure to turn craft into goals when Iwelumo claimed the
:02:15. > :02:18.points for Scunthorpe. It will take something special to break leaders
:02:18. > :02:24.Chesterfield's stride. Wimbledon arrived in good form, but couldn't
:02:24. > :02:29.keep Roberts quiet. He got his scoring in September underway with
:02:29. > :02:34.his fourth goal of the season. Richards was the width of an eyebrow
:02:34. > :02:38.of making the cushion more comfortable after the break. The
:02:38. > :02:51.honour fell to Hird. He bagged his first goal for a year. Four wins in
:02:51. > :02:58.a row for Chesterfield. If it wasn't for the post the score could have
:02:58. > :03:04.been better. They stretch their lead at the top. Cheltenham had struggled
:03:05. > :03:09.to recapture last season's form. Oxford were tough opponents. Right
:03:09. > :03:15.from the off the Robins were in determined mood. Harrison put them
:03:15. > :03:29.ahead after eight minutes. The lead didn't last. Kitson slotted in his
:03:30. > :03:34.first goal for the club. Lowe rattled the woodwork. This was
:03:34. > :03:40.hailed as their best performance of the season so far. A first home win
:03:40. > :03:44.of their league campaign looked on the card when this shot went
:03:44. > :03:49.straight to Gornell, who couldn't miss. Oxford are nothing if not
:03:49. > :03:54.resilient. They preserved their unbeaten record thanks to Mullins'
:03:54. > :03:58.leveller. From Hunt's corner, Cheltenham twice failed to clear
:03:58. > :04:00.their lines, allowing Mullins to salvage a point. Oxford will be
:04:00. > :04:05.their lines, allowing Mullins to pleased with that. It could so
:04:05. > :04:09.easily have been nothing. Mullins getting away with what looked a
:04:09. > :04:19.clear handball as this entertaining game ended on alcontroversial note.
:04:19. > :04:20.-- on a controversial note. Would be a goalkeeper? Pickford's luck was
:04:20. > :04:31.out here. Outstanding save to keep a goalkeeper? Pickford's luck was
:04:31. > :04:41.out Agyemang only for Holmes to pick up the pieces, this was the first
:04:41. > :04:46.goal for the club. Holmes' pace escaped McCrory. The ball went
:04:46. > :05:03.across the line by Ferry, he too got off the mark for pom pill. The
:05:03. > :05:12.referee was a busy man. His red card needed when Moutaouakil made this
:05:12. > :05:20.kick at Phillips. This kick came off the Portsmouth bar. There was a goal
:05:20. > :05:26.through Diamond. Portsmouth claimed their maiden away victory. We kept
:05:26. > :05:30.making sure that once we got a goal we didn't have to score another one.
:05:30. > :05:33.Two goals up we have to keep the ball and frustrate people. We are
:05:33. > :05:39.pleased we did that today. Couldn't say we have done enough to win the
:05:40. > :05:51.game. That is a disappointment from my behalf. A late Clive Platt
:05:51. > :05:56.equaliser earned Northampton a point last weekend. Blyth put them ahead,
:05:56. > :06:02.they should have had a point against Exeter. The young striker, who has
:06:02. > :06:08.now netted three in four, starts the this season could have doubled the
:06:08. > :06:15.lead from Blyth's kick on. Northampton needed a second goal,
:06:15. > :06:21.you sensed. Plait was unlucky from close-range. Exeter levelled the
:06:21. > :06:30.match past the half-hour. Bennett arrived the Woodman corner. It was
:06:30. > :06:37.anybody's game now. After the Kryslak denied Platt, Exeter got the
:06:37. > :06:41.points in the final moments. Wheeler with the cross. O'Flynn secured
:06:41. > :06:51.Exeter's first away win since February.
:06:51. > :07:01.Bury to asimulate their summer signings. They had a first half
:07:01. > :07:08.goals from Soares. This was rarely chartered territory. They could have
:07:08. > :07:17.established a lead, but struggling teams have plenty of "what if" tales
:07:17. > :07:25.to tell. Brown's free-kick beat Carson's dive, but found wood, not
:07:25. > :07:34.net. Sarcevic has looked the part for Fleetwood. Vardy would have been
:07:34. > :07:44.proud of that. Evans got the winner. The turn around complete. This match
:07:44. > :07:50.will always be remembered as the Tom Naylor game. More of him later. It
:07:50. > :08:00.looked like being a good day for Billy Jones. Naylor's tale of woes
:08:00. > :08:07.started afterwards. Amond was out numbered in the six-yard box, but
:08:07. > :08:17.wasn't needed anyway. The loanee was exposed soon afterwards and was
:08:17. > :08:22.bailed out by Pidgeley and Worley. Newport took a lead into half-time
:08:22. > :08:26.when more came were guilty of failing to close down. Willmott
:08:26. > :08:32.fired in the sort of goal which would have sparked Hawkeye into life
:08:32. > :08:36.in the Premier League. The second-half saw the Naylor show
:08:36. > :08:41.resume again. He tried to take matters into his own hands
:08:41. > :08:46.Australianed found mother cam were the own beneficiaries. If he thought
:08:46. > :08:53.his day couldn't get worse, he was wrong. Ellison reacted quickly to
:08:53. > :09:00.the flick on and Amond knead four Morecambe wins in a row. This one
:09:00. > :09:06.was gift wrapped by one man. One of them days. Excellent for us since he
:09:06. > :09:10.came. Everything that could go wrong went wrong today. Good players
:09:10. > :09:13.bounce back and get stronger from that. I have no doubt that is what
:09:13. > :09:24.he will do. He is a very good player. Until this game if you could
:09:24. > :09:30.stop Jarvis you could stop York. But a new Ryan burst on to the scene. It
:09:30. > :09:33.was his first senior goal. The 20-year-old's happiness will be
:09:33. > :09:39.tempered by the final outcome. York's lead lasted 19minutes. The
:09:39. > :09:47.Mansfield's build-up not pretty but neither was this challenge on
:09:47. > :09:52.Jennings. Clucas inflicted the punishment. That left foot played
:09:52. > :09:58.its part in the match winner. He let fly into the second-half. Palmer got
:09:58. > :10:02.a chance which meant the keeper had no chance at all. York were on their
:10:02. > :10:10.way to a fourth successive defeat and could do without the suspension
:10:10. > :10:13.Cresswell now faces. As a result, both sides finished the match a man
:10:13. > :10:24.down. The scoreline stayed unchanged.
:10:24. > :10:35.Neither Dagenham nor Bristol Rovers have been prolific scores so far.
:10:35. > :10:44.Ogogo put them ahead as they chased a first win in five. Only two teams
:10:44. > :10:52.in League Two have scored less goals. This spot-kick was saved by
:10:52. > :10:58.Chris Lewington. That put the spring back into the Daggers stride. How
:10:58. > :11:00.met this corner. His goal confirmed the win and a much-needed three
:11:00. > :11:12.points. Plymouth had unwon three of their
:11:12. > :11:18.previous four league matches. Wycombe had started well too. The
:11:18. > :11:24.game burst to life in the final 20 minutes. Sam Wood's opener for
:11:24. > :11:33.Wycombe. This was his first goal since February, hard to believe. It
:11:33. > :11:37.was two soon a after. Plymouth were punished by Dean Morgan. Wickham his
:11:37. > :11:43.12th club. This his fourth goal in three games. Five minutes beyond the
:11:43. > :11:56.90 Wycombe sealed an impressive away win. How is this for a finish. Knott
:11:56. > :12:04.sealed the deal, 3-0. Is Torquay United's keeper Martin Rice conceded
:12:04. > :12:11.four up at Fleetwood last week. He denied Lancashire and Donnelly kept
:12:11. > :12:15.his side on level terms. Centre forward Donnelly probably should
:12:15. > :12:21.have scored. Rochdale secured a second consecutive 1-0 victory 13
:12:21. > :12:25.minutes from time thanks to a Henderson finish. After a slow start
:12:26. > :12:32.to the campaign, they are now just two points outside the top seven.
:12:32. > :12:35.It's not a huge surprise to see Rochdale of course challenging at
:12:35. > :12:39.the business end of the table. It is surprising however to see more cam
:12:39. > :12:44.do that. They were on the last four. I hope someone buys Tom Naylor a
:12:44. > :12:49.drink tonight. He has had better days? Maybe some of the Morecambe
:12:49. > :12:53.players will buy him a drink tonight. A couple of own-goals which
:12:53. > :12:59.didn't help Newport's plight. They had a good record at home up until
:12:59. > :13:05.today. He will be disappointed to that. This is a wonderful header, it
:13:05. > :13:10.has to be said. He glides it past the keeper, who doesn't communicate
:13:10. > :13:16.very well and ends up in the back of their net. Not a good day for Tom.
:13:17. > :13:22.You did that without mentioning he conceded the penalty. Wycombe won
:13:22. > :13:27.their last three. The last three away trips, they have accumulated
:13:27. > :13:32.the Air Miles, Exeter, Hartlepool and Plymouth? I wonder if he has a
:13:32. > :13:36.CD of his band's music on the coach. If they keep winning they will keep
:13:37. > :13:43.playing it. A really happy coach on the way back. Good platform to have.
:13:43. > :13:48.When you are a small club and going on long journeys and picking up
:13:48. > :13:54.results I'm sure the spirit has been well enhanced. The results more
:13:54. > :13:58.impressive by the fact he is no longer playing Gareth Ainsworth.let
:13:58. > :14:02.leadership he brings to the team is no longer well. They have done well
:14:02. > :14:10.considering. Let's look at the tables then in the wake of
:14:10. > :14:13.Saturday's results: . Blackpool and QPR are the early
:14:13. > :14:16.pacesetters at the top of the Sky Bet Championship, after they both
:14:16. > :14:19.won on Saturday, with both those sides still yet to taste defeat.
:14:19. > :14:23.Forest and Leicester both won at home, while Leeds' victory at Bolton
:14:23. > :14:26.sees them move into the top six. Millwall drop to the bottom of the
:14:26. > :14:28.Championship after that 5-1 thumping at home.
:14:29. > :14:30.The Lions, along with Bolton and Sheffield Wednesday, are all still
:14:30. > :14:34.winless. Russell Slade's Leyton Orient keep
:14:34. > :14:36.going and now have six wins from six and top League One.
:14:36. > :14:39.Peterborough got back to winning ways on Saturday while Wolves,
