:00:39. > :00:43.Good evening. Welcome along to the second part of our Easter double
:00:44. > :00:48.header. For most teams, we're down to the last three games. And with
:00:49. > :00:51.barely a fortnight left of the regular season, only a handful of
:00:52. > :00:54.teams can be forgiven for thinking ahead to their summer holidays.
:00:55. > :01:00.Talking of which, good to have Leroy with me tonight. And here's how we
:01:01. > :01:05.line up this evening. Burnley on the brink. Having missed out on the
:01:06. > :01:08.chance to seal their return to the Premier League for a second week
:01:09. > :01:11.running, would it be third time luck for the Clarets as Sean Dyche's side
:01:12. > :01:17.welcomed Uwe Rosler's play-off-chasing Wigan to Turf Moor.
:01:18. > :01:20.Orient may have missed out on automatic promotion this season but
:01:21. > :01:23.Russell Slade's side had a chance to lay down a marker to their play-off
:01:24. > :01:27.rivals at home to Champions-elect Wolves.
:01:28. > :01:31.We've all the latest promotion and relegation news with no less than
:01:32. > :01:44.six clubs in the frame today to learn their fate across all three
:01:45. > :01:49.divisions. Bristol Rovers find themselves in familiar territory
:01:50. > :01:53.struggling at the wrong end of the football league and chasing
:01:54. > :01:57.Rochdale. We start the show at Turf Moor where
:01:58. > :02:00.Burnley knew a win today against Wigan would be enough to seal
:02:01. > :02:13.promotion to the Premier League. Commentary from John Roder.
:02:14. > :02:46.Wigan arrived in good form hoping their side can spoil Burnley's day.
:02:47. > :02:56.That came after the hand, didn't it? Play goes on and Burnley were hoping
:02:57. > :03:10.to profit. Arfield couldn't get there. Wigan appealing for handball.
:03:11. > :03:17.Burnley almost profited. Just perhaps the overall air of tension
:03:18. > :03:29.around this ground is transferring itself onto the pitch. Burnley in
:03:30. > :03:38.front! Ashley Barnes rakes the deadlock in the 22nd minute. Is that
:03:39. > :03:43.the first of Burnley's steps this afternoon towards the Premier
:03:44. > :03:51.League? It is a super, flowing move from the Clarets. The cross is
:03:52. > :03:57.precise, Ashley Barnes right on the end of it. Marney's delivery is
:03:58. > :04:09.perfect. Ashley Barnes gets his third goal since joining Burnley.
:04:10. > :04:15.And Sean Dyche's team are leading. Gomez with the delivery. Fortune,
:04:16. > :04:26.off the bar. How close can you get to an equaliser? Free kick delivered
:04:27. > :04:35.well and Fortune getting a touch on it. There was no way that Tom Heaton
:04:36. > :04:41.was going to get to that. Burnley would love a second goal before the
:04:42. > :04:54.break. Arfield. Almost got away from Perch. He pulled him back. Burnley
:04:55. > :05:04.free kick in a promising position. Not much doubt about that.
:05:05. > :05:16.Straight in! Stunning goal. Michael Kightly with an exquisite Easter
:05:17. > :05:24.goal for the second time this weekend. He scored an absolute Perla
:05:25. > :05:31.at Blackpool on Friday, and now he has driven this one in which case,
:05:32. > :05:37.power and precision. Look out Al Habsi on the line. The goalkeeper
:05:38. > :05:55.hardly moves. He gets his fourth goal of the season.
:05:56. > :06:08.Mee went for the girl and Al Habsi pushes it over. -- goal. That was
:06:09. > :06:12.well struck from Mee. He will say no doubt that at half-time the job is
:06:13. > :06:31.only half done. Fortune putting pressure on. Tom
:06:32. > :06:43.Heaton with the save. Mee will clear it. Tom Heaton keeps it at 2-0.
:06:44. > :06:48.Perhaps a little bit of defensive confusion, the header wasn't strong
:06:49. > :06:54.enough. Fortune got the touch and Tom Heaton got the block. It is
:06:55. > :07:04.getting closer for Burnley. A return to the Premier League. All the time
:07:05. > :07:11.it stays at this score, Burnley know at full-time day will be back in the
:07:12. > :07:19.big time. Mee is first to the header. It was missed. After the
:07:20. > :07:28.post from Ings. Trying to beat Al Habsi up the near post. Danny Ings
:07:29. > :07:35.was close to his 26th goal of the season. The angle was always tight.
:07:36. > :07:41.We have seen Burnley scored direct from a free kick already this
:07:42. > :07:54.afternoon. David Jones stands behind it. It is Jones. Al Habsi pushes it
:07:55. > :07:59.away to safety. Al Habsi watched it all the way. It was a well struck
:08:00. > :08:09.free kick from Jones. Can Wigan find their way back?
:08:10. > :08:21.That was at decent ball forward. It dropped nicely. This shot punched
:08:22. > :08:30.away by Al Habsi as Ashley Barnes /it with power. Straight at the
:08:31. > :08:42.Wigan goalkeeper. They are almost there. Not quite. But almost.
:08:43. > :08:56.Last few seconds. Burnley are in the Premier League! Sean Dyche in his
:08:57. > :09:03.first full season in charge has guided the Clarets to the top
:09:04. > :09:12.division in English football. Delirious scenes at Turf Moor. It
:09:13. > :09:18.has been a superb season from the Clarets. It still has two matches to
:09:19. > :09:23.go, but they will play Ipswich and Reading in their final two games,
:09:24. > :09:36.knowing they are in the Premier League next season. What does it
:09:37. > :09:41.mean to Burnley to be in the Premier League? It means everything. We were
:09:42. > :09:46.fourth favourites to go down and the courage we have shown all season is
:09:47. > :09:52.amazing. What a great set of lads, we fully deserve this. His first
:09:53. > :10:00.full season in charge for the boss, how good a job has Sean Dyche done?
:10:01. > :10:07.I knew him from my time at Watford. He is a top manager. You can just
:10:08. > :10:14.see what he has done here. He deserves all the credit. Go and
:10:15. > :10:20.enjoy yourself, thank you. Those scenes will live in your
:10:21. > :10:29.memory for ever? It is the best day of my life, certainly in my career.
:10:30. > :10:34.The lads have been believable. I am delighted to say we can speak to
:10:35. > :10:40.Sean Dyche now at Turf Moor. You can do away with the one game at the
:10:41. > :10:48.time mantra, how does it feel to be promoted? It feels fantastic. It is
:10:49. > :10:53.an authentic mantra that we agreed at the beginning of the season. We
:10:54. > :10:57.could not promise the world with the squad and finance available but I
:10:58. > :11:04.did promise we would be competitive. It is authentic to get over the line
:11:05. > :11:09.with 89 points so far, not waiting for other results is testament to
:11:10. > :11:14.the fantastic staff and a fantastic set of players. This is only your
:11:15. > :11:21.third season as a manager, have big and achievement is this to take
:11:22. > :11:27.Burnley up into the Premier League? It is a massive achievement. Not
:11:28. > :11:35.just because of the constraints, the challenges we have. I Inc we spent
:11:36. > :11:40.450,000 in the last 18 months. We have got 22 players and a couple of
:11:41. > :11:46.Young lads within that. We have galvanised a group of people to be
:11:47. > :11:53.relentless. And to give everything. I must say, as well as some good
:11:54. > :11:58.talent, the first gold today, what a goal it is. We have done it so many
:11:59. > :12:04.times this season. It is not just about hard work and energy, there is
:12:05. > :12:09.some real talent. I have enjoyed every part of it. It is a great
:12:10. > :12:20.story, a great achievement. Well done again, enjoy the rest of your
:12:21. > :12:25.celebrations tonight. Apart from what has gone on at Old
:12:26. > :12:29.Trafford, what went on at Turf Moor will get its their share of the
:12:30. > :12:36.spotlight? It deserves all of the spotlight. Sean Dyche never gave up.
:12:37. > :12:45.His team did it today and they have done it all season. He talks about
:12:46. > :12:49.Vokes, 18 clean sheets. That first goal epitomised everything good
:12:50. > :12:56.Burnley have done this season. It was great, one touch play. Ashley
:12:57. > :13:06.Barnes, who came into the team in January, lovely play. Lovely finish
:13:07. > :13:14.in the middle of the six yard box. It was another highlight in a season
:13:15. > :13:19.of highlights. You have Tom Heaton, Shackell and David Jones down the
:13:20. > :13:26.spine of that team. And then you have Trippier at fullback. It has
:13:27. > :13:30.been a tremendous squad effort. Crystal Palace have shown they can
:13:31. > :13:34.stay up in the Premier League, and they have given themselves a
:13:35. > :13:40.fighting chance on limited resources, so hope for Burnley? Lots
:13:41. > :13:46.of hope, and they have a very good manager. Tony Pulis is meticulous
:13:47. > :13:53.just like Sean Dyche. They can develop those Young players along
:13:54. > :14:00.the way. Those are the top two editions sorted out. So let's find
:14:01. > :14:04.out how the other teams in the promotion mix got on, starting at
:14:05. > :14:06.the iPro stadium as Derby met a Barnsley side staring relegation in
:14:07. > :14:10.the face. Both clubs were hoping, particularly
:14:11. > :14:17.the Tykes, for whom the Bell is tolling.
:14:18. > :14:22.Short of eight top six finish Derby is more manageable but in use are
:14:23. > :14:27.Burnley's early goal to the edge off the celebrations for this opener.
:14:28. > :14:31.Derby seem happy to keep their four-man focus ahead of the
:14:32. > :14:38.play-offs. Russell's deflect did shot had them on a run of eight
:14:39. > :14:44.games. Danny Wilson reckoned Barnsley made it too easy for Derby
:14:45. > :14:47.in the first half. They did show some fighting spirit in the second.
:14:48. > :14:52.But they will need more than bad if they are to avoid the drop. They
:14:53. > :14:58.only just about survived this free kick. It was a leisurely performance
:14:59. > :15:02.by Derby. Polite applause accompanied most of it. If the
:15:03. > :15:11.pressure had been on the fans might have been less forgiving of missing
:15:12. > :15:19.this on the goal-line. It seems to catapult a comeback. Chris O'Grady
:15:20. > :15:22.took matters into his own hands. The goalkeeper had it covered. Barnsley
:15:23. > :15:29.did get themselves back into the game with ten minutes of normal time
:15:30. > :15:40.remaining. But that only succeeded in waking Derby up. Seconds later
:15:41. > :15:44.they had a penalty. As it was, Luke Steele said the penalty but all
:15:45. > :15:54.available evidence suggests these are two clubs heading in different
:15:55. > :15:55.directions. We need to keep the performances going. And to make sure
:15:56. > :16:06.that we finish the season well. QPR's determination to nail down
:16:07. > :16:11.that play-off place was underlined by a changes made by Harry Redknapp,
:16:12. > :16:15.including the return of Kevin Doyle. Tom Cowell was among the recall is,
:16:16. > :16:21.and he tested Manuel Harmonia just before half-time, to counter what
:16:22. > :16:24.the's promise. The visitors followed up after the break with Troy Deeney
:16:25. > :16:31.playing the lead role, to worry Rob Green. Those worries increased when
:16:32. > :16:36.Troy Deeney set up Mathias Ranegie to give what to believe. On came
:16:37. > :16:41.Bobby Zamora and Junior Hoilett, but the Rangers talisman Charlie Austin
:16:42. > :16:44.looked like the most likely to bring the home side back into contention,
:16:45. > :16:50.if only Manuel Munoz not so inspired. The return of Joey Barton
:16:51. > :16:52.to free kick duties did not disappoint, with 14 minutes
:16:53. > :16:57.remaining. Loftus Road could believe again. But only after a goal-line
:16:58. > :17:03.clearance moments later. Rob Green got out of his goal, and Nedum
:17:04. > :17:08.Onuoha had the coolest head, and Rangers were still in the game. Just
:17:09. > :17:12.how crucial that say was" a final minute, the Charlie Austin playing
:17:13. > :17:18.in Ravel Morrison, and when the orator to him, his finish guaranteed
:17:19. > :17:24.Rangers a place in the top six. -- when the ball returned to him. It
:17:25. > :17:27.was a tough game against a good team, I was impressed with Watford.
:17:28. > :17:31.They will be right there again in The Championship next year, the way
:17:32. > :17:39.they have later date. They passed it well. We are stretched to the game,
:17:40. > :17:44.and I was delighted to get a late finish, to get the winner. Ryton
:17:45. > :17:48.were determined to tighten their grip on the final play-off place,
:17:49. > :17:51.while strugglers Blackpool would have found the atmosphere more
:17:52. > :17:55.welcome after those unpleasant scenes at Bloomfield Road days
:17:56. > :18:00.before. The first half was average, with Brighton first to flex their
:18:01. > :18:05.muscles. Blackpool have been on the slide from once. Four straight
:18:06. > :18:08.defeats had dropped them into the bottom three, and they recalled
:18:09. > :18:12.Stephen Dobbie to the starting line-up, who went close to scoring
:18:13. > :18:18.against the club he left last summer. 0-0 at the break, and the
:18:19. > :18:29.second half was barely started when Dale Stephens eased nerds by curling
:18:30. > :18:34.in a beauty. -- nerves. Minutes later, Blackpool had a surprise in
:18:35. > :18:38.store. Stephen Dobbie with a wonder goal, not enough to lift his side
:18:39. > :18:45.out of trouble, but it opened the door for some Brighton's nearest
:18:46. > :18:49.challengers. Two of those met at Portman Road with Ipswich and
:18:50. > :18:53.Bournemouth hoping to recover from damaging weekend defeats. What
:18:54. > :18:59.turned out to be a thrilling afternoon, Cole Skuse catching the
:19:00. > :19:08.Cherries out, but not Paul Anderson, who arrived just in time. Ipswich
:19:09. > :19:16.almost made it two straightaway. Aaron Cresswell with a free kick,
:19:17. > :19:20.testing Lee Camp. Ballmer did not take long to impose themselves.
:19:21. > :19:24.Lewis Grabban anticipated the ricochet, but it was not matched
:19:25. > :19:28.either finished. Some great improvisation from Steve Cook
:19:29. > :19:37.produced parity, just before half-time. Not a typical central
:19:38. > :19:41.defender's goal. Creswell's pinpoint set pieces are a regular feature at
:19:42. > :19:44.Portman Road, and Paul Green did not have to leave the ground to notch
:19:45. > :19:49.his first goal, on loan from these. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe
:19:50. > :19:55.changed this site's formation and his tactical twist should have been
:19:56. > :19:59.rewarded by Marc Pugh. The top six place tantalisingly close for Mick
:20:00. > :20:02.McCarthy's men, this free kick from Matt Ritchie got the benefit of a
:20:03. > :20:08.wrong-footed deflection. Both teams pushed the winner, with para-rowing
:20:09. > :20:14.Mings inches away for Ipswich, before Yann Kermogant stung the
:20:15. > :20:22.palms of Dean Gerken, but the draw only benefits the other teams
:20:23. > :20:25.chasing the play-offs. It has been a remarkable turnaround. The players
:20:26. > :20:31.have been brilliant. I am proud of them. We have still got the chance.
:20:32. > :20:38.We will go to Burnley and see what happens. It is never easy, chasing
:20:39. > :20:41.the game. Sometimes you can get caught out when you commit to many,
:20:42. > :20:47.but we could not get the break we needed today. Nottingham Forest's
:20:48. > :20:53.play-off hopes have been renewed over Easter, with the goal-scoring
:20:54. > :20:56.form of Matt Derbyshire. For the second game in a row, he needed less
:20:57. > :21:01.than two minutes to open the scoring. It was his third goal in as
:21:02. > :21:06.many days, soon afterwards. 60 minutes was all that it took
:21:07. > :21:10.Nottingham Forest to wrap up the 2-0 victory they needed to climb back
:21:11. > :21:16.into seventh place, only one point behind Brighton. Ross McCormack was
:21:17. > :21:20.denied by Dorus de Vries. He injured himself in the process. The
:21:21. > :21:25.goalkeeper played through the pain before being substituted. Not before
:21:26. > :21:35.surviving this narrow escape, with Danny Pugh gracing the crossbar and
:21:36. > :21:44.then the shot from Michael Brown was blocked. Forrest, marching on
:21:45. > :21:47.together, rejuvenated, not so much. We are disappointed, we have given
:21:48. > :21:51.the game away in the first 20 minutes. We were chasing the game.
:21:52. > :21:57.We had a better reaction in the second half but that was too late.
:21:58. > :22:04.We want to give a good shift for this football club and problems to
:22:05. > :22:09.the opposition. QPR securing a play-off place, and a good victory
:22:10. > :22:13.for Nottingham Forest, back-to-back victories for Forrest, they had been
:22:14. > :22:20.looking at the play-offs from a distance but they are back in the
:22:21. > :22:22.frame, now. I was concerned about the messages coming out when they
:22:23. > :22:28.appointed Stuart Pearce for next season, but this was a well taken
:22:29. > :22:32.goal, and they are back in the fold. There was just a lack of confidence
:22:33. > :22:35.around the team. The results went for them today and now Matt
:22:36. > :22:40.Derbyshire has got four goals in three games. You knew that as soon
:22:41. > :22:45.as he gets one goal, the rest would follow, because he is a good
:22:46. > :22:48.finisher, nice and calm, he takes that round the goalkeeper and sticks
:22:49. > :22:55.it into the empty net. He can win them games. They could be coming
:22:56. > :23:00.into form at a crucial stage, but for the third round of fixtures in
:23:01. > :23:04.succession, teams in and around sixth position are all stumbling at
:23:05. > :23:09.the moment. We saw that at Portman Road between Ipswich and
:23:10. > :23:14.Bournemouth. We thought that this was a goal worthy of winning any
:23:15. > :23:22.game, to make it 1-1, before Ipswich scored to make it 2-1. But that draw
:23:23. > :23:27.was not good for either side. More disappointing for Mick McCarthy,
:23:28. > :23:30.that is 30 points from winning positions that they have dropped, so
:23:31. > :23:37.he will be disappointed with that. When they get in front, you think
:23:38. > :23:43.that his side are going to be wet -- well organised, but that this
:23:44. > :23:49.disappointing. Bournemouth and Eddie Howe have Jimmy later the great
:23:50. > :23:52.amount of points, and he was voted the club's best ever manager through
:23:53. > :23:54.the week, and that is a real accolade, when you consider the
:23:55. > :24:04.others include Harry Redknapp. Our last look at The Championship
:24:05. > :24:07.now, and what a game in prospect at the Den. Starting the day just a
:24:08. > :24:15.point above the drop zone, Millwall welcomed a side just above them on
:24:16. > :24:18.goal difference, Doncaster Rovers. Three victories from five unbeaten
:24:19. > :24:23.games had Millwall in good spirits ahead of this relegation battle.
:24:24. > :24:28.Abdoulaye Meite was sent off giving them among advantage. His challenge
:24:29. > :24:32.on Stefan Maierhofer earned him a red card with only 43 minutes
:24:33. > :24:37.played. Both managers felt it was a harsh decision. Millwall could not
:24:38. > :24:44.make the most of it. Steve Morison twice went close for the home side.
:24:45. > :24:49.With QPR and Bournemouth still to play, Millwall might find that this
:24:50. > :24:56.draw against ten men comes back to haunt them. Unfortunately, that is
:24:57. > :24:59.two points dropped, isn't it? If we had won that game today maybe they
:25:00. > :25:04.would have been looking over their shoulder, but who's to say that we
:25:05. > :25:10.cannot get something out of the last two and beat some of the others
:25:11. > :25:13.around us? That showed why I believe we will stay in this division,
:25:14. > :25:21.because they are a fantastic bunch to work with. We have got a right
:25:22. > :25:27.good chance, when you have got that. The pre-match fanfare was as good as
:25:28. > :25:30.it got for the blues fans. Blackburn tore into their team, and the first
:25:31. > :25:35.goal should have come after six minutes, but Rudy Gestede wasted the
:25:36. > :25:42.cross. Another arrived minutes later, and this time, Rudy Gestede
:25:43. > :25:45.had his eye in, 1-0, and the Gold Rush had begun, with a top six place
:25:46. > :25:50.till up for grabs. From the Craig Conway free kick, Gestede had his
:25:51. > :25:57.second and Blackburn Rovers were on their way. is later, there was
:25:58. > :26:02.confirmation that Darren Randolph was in for another grisly afternoon.
:26:03. > :26:09.He seemed to have the shot cover before I deflection make him look
:26:10. > :26:19.silly, and produced a chorus of boos at 3-0. Then Rudy Gestede completed
:26:20. > :26:23.his first hat-trick with a header. Callum Reilly with the cross,
:26:24. > :26:29.finished by Nikola Zigic for his seventh of the season. There was
:26:30. > :26:33.time for a first senior goal for Demarai Gray, the 19 row substitute,
:26:34. > :26:45.but the real celebrations will start only if Birmingham stay up. It is
:26:46. > :26:52.pool. We have to come out with a bit of fight and courage, but it was too
:26:53. > :26:55.big and ask. What is impressive about the hat-trick is that he
:26:56. > :27:01.missed the opportunity to finish off a great team. If he had got his head
:27:02. > :27:07.down and stayed with it, he had three headers, which is a fantastic
:27:08. > :27:12.hat-trick. Jose Riga steamed happy enough, but the Charlton boss had
:27:13. > :27:17.his smile wiped off his face within minutes of the game starting. With a
:27:18. > :27:21.vicious volley getting Sheffield Wednesday off to a flyer. The big
:27:22. > :27:28.Austrian clearly in the goal-scoring groove right now. Charlton won on
:27:29. > :27:31.this ground and debris, which spoiled the chance that Wednesday
:27:32. > :27:38.had of facing triple United in the FA Cup. Chris Maguire's splendid
:27:39. > :27:43.finish meant the London club were tunnelling towards the bottom three,
:27:44. > :27:46.but somehow they found that fighting spirit, with Marvin Sordell nothing
:27:47. > :27:53.in between two defenders to put the addicts back into contention. --
:27:54. > :27:56.nipping in. He has not lived up to expectations since arriving on loan
:27:57. > :28:02.from Borden, but when Callan Harriet found him, he single-handedly kept
:28:03. > :28:09.Charlton in business. His reputation further increased when Nuhiu put him
:28:10. > :28:16.through for his first ever career hat-trick. Quite simply, a stunning
:28:17. > :28:27.turnaround to keep Charlton's heads above water. We have seen two faces
:28:28. > :28:31.of Charlton. We concede two goals and then become back into the game
:28:32. > :28:39.and we score, and most important, is to be able to score, and then became
:28:40. > :28:46.not easy, but we mastered more the game, we got the upper hand.
:28:47. > :28:50.Suddenly they just started winning the ball, and individual errors were
:28:51. > :28:53.punished. Chris Kirk wind has not had a save to make and he has picked
:28:54. > :29:01.the ball out of the net three times. -- Chris Kirkland. Very few people
:29:02. > :29:04.outside Somerset gave Yeovil any hope of survival, and today was the
:29:05. > :29:08.day that many predictions could be fulfilled, Tom Lawrence missing a
:29:09. > :29:14.glorious chance to prove that doubters wrong. Adam Hamill showed
:29:15. > :29:21.that he was not a man inhabited by previous failures, with the manner
:29:22. > :29:26.of his assist for Nahki Wells. Yeovil needed to respond quickly.
:29:27. > :29:30.This no-nonsense free kick from Lawrence pot new hope to huge park,
:29:31. > :29:35.but the concession of late goals has been a feature of their season, and
:29:36. > :29:38.more brilliance from Adam Hamill in the final seconds allowed Adam
:29:39. > :29:43.Clayton to edge Huddersfield to safety, leaving Gary Johnson's men
:29:44. > :29:48.needing a mathematical miracle. We have played some good stuff this
:29:49. > :29:51.season, we have two games left. We are pleased to have secured
:29:52. > :29:58.Championship status and it gives me a long, hard some of work to try and
:29:59. > :30:02.improve things for next time round. We have enjoyed the champions see --
:30:03. > :30:08.Championship season, if you like, the supporters have enjoyed it and
:30:09. > :30:09.we can go back to the first division, we can regroup and try and
:30:10. > :30:26.come back stronger. That leaves Yeovil Town six points
:30:27. > :30:30.off save me. There is no doubt they have overachieved to begin with.
:30:31. > :30:36.What else could Gary Johnson have done this season? He has done
:30:37. > :30:43.everything he could have. They dropped 31 points from winning
:30:44. > :30:48.positions this season. They have not taken their chances. Maybe he could
:30:49. > :30:55.have had a bigger budgets, but I can see it from the club's point of
:30:56. > :31:00.view. When you go up it is more costs. It is their first season in
:31:01. > :31:05.there. It has been a difficult season but a good season in the
:31:06. > :31:08.championship. Now they will go down to League one, they have the
:31:09. > :31:15.foundations of having another go at it. He will be positive off the back
:31:16. > :31:22.of their relegation. Let's have a look at some hat-trick heroes. Black
:31:23. > :31:26.burn are ending the season with a flourish but it leaves Birmingham
:31:27. > :31:35.with no home win in 16 games and they have their next two games at
:31:36. > :31:40.home. It is not good enough for the loyal fans. Should we be giving the
:31:41. > :31:46.manager a bit of leeway considering what is going on at boardroom level?
:31:47. > :31:54.Yes, of course you do. But we know what has happened with the chairman.
:31:55. > :32:00.It has been a difficult rattle and they need to stick together. People
:32:01. > :32:06.talk about making the change, but who for? It is a difficult job. Lee
:32:07. > :32:10.Clark is doing the best he can with the best he has got. He has good
:32:11. > :32:15.players there and they are not performing at the moment that Lee
:32:16. > :32:24.Clark will turn things around. Charlton secured a good comeback
:32:25. > :32:31.against Sheffield Wednesday. They will never get more important goals
:32:32. > :32:38.will they? Yes, he can score goals. It was timely for Charlton against
:32:39. > :32:47.Sheffield Wednesday. He makes this look very easy. Clips it over the
:32:48. > :32:51.keeper into the corner. Gives them a bit of breathing space with Yeovil
:32:52. > :32:57.Town, I think their fate is done and dusted. Are we saying six teams
:32:58. > :33:08.trying to avoid the remaining relegation places? Yes, Charlton is
:33:09. > :33:13.lifted out a bit, Millwall find themselves on an unbeaten run, it is
:33:14. > :33:24.Birmingham and Blackburn need to find some form. It is all about
:33:25. > :33:30.sixth place, who is your money on? I think Reding will sneak into the
:33:31. > :33:34.final spot. So to League One now and having
:33:35. > :33:36.secured promotion on Friday, Brentford were still in with an
:33:37. > :33:47.outside chance of clinching the title as The Bees visited MK Dons.
:33:48. > :33:59.Promoted Brentford knew they had to win to maintain any chance of
:34:00. > :34:05.claiming the league one title. Brentford's leading scorer exposed
:34:06. > :34:11.the defensive shortcomings and all the signs are pointing to an away
:34:12. > :34:16.success. The MK dons had seven first-team players missing through
:34:17. > :34:25.injury. They won a penalty that reduced the deficit. Stephen Gleeson
:34:26. > :34:32.convert it the spot kick. Their first goal at home in over ten hours
:34:33. > :34:37.of football. Ryan Hall picked out McLeod who scored his ninth of the
:34:38. > :34:46.season. The MK dons, after five straight home defeats, a welcome
:34:47. > :34:51.return to form. It is a difficult time of the year,
:34:52. > :34:56.they have achieved their main goal which is promotion. But we were
:34:57. > :35:02.sloppy. Congratulations to Brentford and their manager, they are one of
:35:03. > :35:05.the best teams we have played at this level for a long time. We wish
:35:06. > :35:19.them all the luck in the world next season.
:35:20. > :35:22.Carlisle was smashed 6-1 at Preston. They did invent any further damage
:35:23. > :35:31.before the break, but in the second half they were swept away. This
:35:32. > :35:41.cross hit an arm. The rest was done from the penalty spot. His 31st goal
:35:42. > :35:45.in all competitions. They did muster a response with the goal of the
:35:46. > :35:52.game. Miller scored his eighth of the season. Posh have lost 18 games
:35:53. > :35:58.this season but are pushing for promotion. Jordan Pickford committed
:35:59. > :36:08.a foul. Another spot kick followed by the same outcome. And their
:36:09. > :36:14.fourth successive home win was topped off by Michael Bostwick.
:36:15. > :36:25.Victory at Shrewsbury next week will confirm their place in the top six.
:36:26. > :36:33.The key is getting the momentum and the aspiration is to get in the
:36:34. > :36:38.play-offs. Away from home against a very good team. We have got to
:36:39. > :36:43.believe we are still more than capable of staying in the league and
:36:44. > :36:49.with the extra game in hand if we can win against Oldham, we give
:36:50. > :37:02.ourselves a fighting chance. Peter Boro's victory over Swindon.
:37:03. > :37:13.They only managed a narrow victory in the end. Lee Cox held in his
:37:14. > :37:21.first goal since 2010. With a play-off place assured,
:37:22. > :37:24.Rotherham rested two of their players. But Steve Evans had not
:37:25. > :37:37.planned on his side being a man lights before the break. They
:37:38. > :37:42.introduced his top marksman and his ambition was rewarded 11 minutes
:37:43. > :37:54.from time. He celebrated his 25th goal of the season.
:37:55. > :38:04.Chris Robertson's follow-up was blocked. If it was handball, the ten
:38:05. > :38:09.men had ridden dialogue. Disappointed. It gives the referee
:38:10. > :38:18.the opportunity to make that decision. He could have given a
:38:19. > :38:22.yellow. Realistically, Shrewsbury needed to win all of their remaining
:38:23. > :38:27.games to stand a chance of staying up. A trip to Preston was daunting.
:38:28. > :38:32.Lee Holmes left them with a sinking feeling. Most teams would struggle
:38:33. > :38:40.when Preston North End are in the mood. This spectacular volley made
:38:41. > :38:46.it even more depressing. The Shrewsbury boss spent seven years as
:38:47. > :38:53.a player with the Lillywhites, but Shrewsbury flickered into life when
:38:54. > :38:59.Sean Miller reduced the arrears. From this long kick, Stuart Bevan
:39:00. > :39:08.crossed for Paul Gallagher who simply could not miss. 3-1 and it
:39:09. > :39:13.meant Shrewsbury were heading for their 21st defeat of the season.
:39:14. > :39:21.Round's for work was too quick and the penalty was given. Not good news
:39:22. > :39:26.for the goal difference Shrewsbury may have to rely on to save them.
:39:27. > :39:33.But they need a miracle to avoid the drop. Their supporters had another
:39:34. > :39:37.goal to cheer when Paul Parry got a clear down the right and centre over
:39:38. > :39:40.the cross for Luke Summerfield. The defeat at home to Peter Boro next
:39:41. > :39:45.week will spell the end for them while dressed and will be a force to
:39:46. > :39:51.be reckoned with in the play-offs. Gallagher brought up his hat-trick
:39:52. > :39:58.as the home side cruised to victory. We had some good points within the
:39:59. > :40:01.game, but to win another game and score five goals is pleasing against
:40:02. > :40:07.a team fighting for their lives. It is a Young squad out there today and
:40:08. > :40:12.some of them came up short in experience and know-how against a
:40:13. > :40:17.good Preston side full of experience. It is a learning curve
:40:18. > :40:22.for some of them, but it is not a good learning curve for the club
:40:23. > :40:28.because it is in the mire at the moment. So it is disappointing for
:40:29. > :40:38.them. You will know the ones who give everything they have got to
:40:39. > :40:45.give. Well done to Paul Gallagher, with three goals he had two assists
:40:46. > :40:48.to his name but it leaves Shrewsbury facing the drop. Peter Boro are one
:40:49. > :40:53.game away from securing their place in the play-offs and increasing the
:40:54. > :41:02.worries of Carlisle. What made this all the more impressive was Ferguson
:41:03. > :41:09.made seven changes? That comes off the back of their cup run. They have
:41:10. > :41:13.one the St Johnstone Trophy. There is a confidence in the squad that
:41:14. > :41:16.they can go out and perform and making those seven changes and
:41:17. > :41:25.getting the result was very impressive. They have just held the
:41:26. > :41:28.other teams off at arms length, Swindon are just behind them and
:41:29. > :41:39.notched up their sixth win in seven games earlier. Four points behind
:41:40. > :41:44.posh. If they have left it too late, Cooper has given them lots to build
:41:45. > :41:49.on for the next campaign? Mark Cooper has done a tremendous job.
:41:50. > :41:58.Remember at the start of the season with Kevin Macdonald resigning.
:41:59. > :42:02.Ownership change as well. They have tried to keep on the coat-tails of
:42:03. > :42:07.those teams in and around the play-offs. It has been an impressive
:42:08. > :42:11.season. If they are still in that division it will give them a
:42:12. > :42:16.foundation to try and do a bit better. They have Young and exciting
:42:17. > :42:19.talent at the County ground. More from League One now and
:42:20. > :42:22.Monday's early kick-off at the Matchroom, as Wolves looked to seal
:42:23. > :42:26.the title at a club which had led the promotion race for much of the
:42:27. > :42:29.season, Leyton Orient. Russell Slade made two changes with Gary Sawyer
:42:30. > :42:32.and John Lundstram coming in for Lloyd James and Elliott Omozusi.
:42:33. > :42:34.Kenny Jackett made one change with Jack Price in for Lee Evans. Jon
:42:35. > :42:56.Champion was watching this one. Jones cannot prevent a corner. The
:42:57. > :43:03.header finds the back of the net. It is Richard Stearman. His second of
:43:04. > :43:16.the season. But a very popular goal-scorer. It has been his and his
:43:17. > :43:21.colleagues's success in keeping the ball out of the net at the other
:43:22. > :43:30.end. Richard Stearman put Wolverhampton Wanderers in front.
:43:31. > :43:43.A decent shot by Mooney. They appeal for handball. Richard Stearman was
:43:44. > :43:48.the defender in question. It was travelling at pays the arm was a
:43:49. > :44:03.long way from his body. That should have been a penalty.
:44:04. > :44:26.Sacco! It is two. Wolves fault is still hard to the floor. That was
:44:27. > :44:36.neat interplay. Not the most accomplished of finishes.
:44:37. > :44:55.Smart save and he did well to hang on, the goalkeeper. The header was a
:44:56. > :44:58.good one, so was the save. Nathan Clarke denied. It was a wallet
:44:59. > :45:07.header. -- wallet. Fine effort across the face from
:45:08. > :45:30.Dave Mooney. Leyton Orient denied by the
:45:31. > :45:36.linesman's slack. -- flag. Dagnall became active When the ball came
:45:37. > :45:43.down from the bar, therefore the goal had to be chopped off.
:45:44. > :45:59.Cox. Mooney, Dagnall lurking. This is good from Leyton Orient.
:46:00. > :46:13.Cuthbert. The goalkeeper flapping at it, and
:46:14. > :46:16.it falls to Cox and that there is one back for Leyton Orient, two
:46:17. > :46:20.minutes into the second half, Dean Cox asks for more on the crowd, the
:46:21. > :46:25.very least that the home side deserved, after that ill fortune in
:46:26. > :46:42.the first period. Mooney and Bagnall both involved. It was on its way in,
:46:43. > :46:49.despite the deflection. Cuthbert. Odubajo. A useful ball, and the
:46:50. > :47:00.loose ball was hooked over the top by David Mooney. Did not extract
:47:01. > :47:04.full advantage,. Barry Hearn, The chairman and owner of Leyton Orient,
:47:05. > :47:07.Azi has been for some 19 years, taking a break from the world
:47:08. > :47:16.Snooker Championship. -- as he has been. The goalkeeper making the
:47:17. > :47:19.block, then it hits the bar, and still the Leyton Orient Equalizer
:47:20. > :47:25.will not go in. They have done everything but score. Their efforts
:47:26. > :47:37.foundering on the goalkeeper and the woodwork, with Batt denied by the
:47:38. > :47:43.bar. Edwards, probably the final attack of the game. James Henry
:47:44. > :47:53.makes it three. And he provides the perfect finale for Wolves. Their
:47:54. > :48:02.30th winner of a remarkable season. They go to 99 points, five club
:48:03. > :48:09.records broken along the way. James Henry polishes off Leyton Orient. It
:48:10. > :48:14.was a great game. I thought that they can Orient were hard done by,
:48:15. > :48:17.they played very well, but there was a particular circumstance of the
:48:18. > :48:22.game where we needed this on to make sure that we could step over the
:48:23. > :48:26.line, so it was a big game for us. Everyone will want to play as in the
:48:27. > :48:30.play-offs, we do not get penalties, you have seen that today, we are up
:48:31. > :48:35.against it, there is no doubt about that, but our main talent he is, we
:48:36. > :48:43.will give it absolutely everything. -- our mentality is. A good
:48:44. > :48:46.reflection on one controversial moment in that game at Brisbane
:48:47. > :48:52.Road, should Leyton Orient have had a penalty? Yes, it was a pivotal
:48:53. > :48:58.decision, it hits the hand of Richard Stearman. His arms are right
:48:59. > :49:03.away from his body. The assistant referee was in a good position and
:49:04. > :49:06.he did not give it. It had an affect on the game because late Noreen
:49:07. > :49:14.played well and deserved at least something from it. -- Leyton Orient.
:49:15. > :49:18.Wolves have eight home-grown players in the match day squad this season,
:49:19. > :49:23.which is very impressive. It is, because people would have thought
:49:24. > :49:28.they would have them out after two relegations but it has been down to
:49:29. > :49:31.Kenny Jackett. You need to introduce an affinity with the fans, they have
:49:32. > :49:35.got some high earners, but he has moved them on, not only has he got
:49:36. > :49:40.an affinity with the fans but they good spirit, and they showed that in
:49:41. > :49:46.abundance today. They stuck at it today and that is why they have
:49:47. > :49:50.bottomed out because of what Kenny Jackett has done with that squad. It
:49:51. > :49:56.is testament to him. He does not get the plaudits that he deserves, but
:49:57. > :50:00.he wants to stay under the radar. He will be having a quite drink but
:50:01. > :50:05.people will be raising a glass to him tonight because he has done a
:50:06. > :50:11.tremendous job. And that home-grown element helps the club connect with
:50:12. > :50:15.the fans. They were relegated and the fans read disenchanted,
:50:16. > :50:18.relegated again, Championship, but the fans are right behind the
:50:19. > :50:24.players, they know that they have come through the system. Maybe those
:50:25. > :50:32.senior players on higher wages have had a disconnect, supporters. But
:50:33. > :50:41.they have certainly reconnected now. And they have had a staggering away
:50:42. > :50:45.following the season, as well. To the fight for survival at the other
:50:46. > :50:49.end of the table now and we start at Broadhall Way where Stevenage needed
:50:50. > :50:51.to beat Bristol City to keep alive their hopes of beating the drop.
:50:52. > :50:54.Stevenage knew that only victory would do, but they knew they had not
:50:55. > :50:57.managed to win any of their last nine games, and Elliott struck the
:50:58. > :51:00.dominant city and the fat lady was clearing throat, the Robins were
:51:01. > :51:04.bottom of the table when Steve, full took over in December, but their
:51:05. > :51:12.biggest problem might be trying to keep hold of Sam Baldock. It was his
:51:13. > :51:15.26th goal of the season. Having steered city away from relegation
:51:16. > :51:19.trouble, Steve Cotterill is targeting a top-10 finish and his
:51:20. > :51:25.side made sure of a third straight victory with 15 minutes ago, when
:51:26. > :51:28.Steven and slotted home. Stevenage fans had something to smile about
:51:29. > :51:31.when Luke Freeman curled and a cracking consolation goal, and
:51:32. > :51:36.consolation of their League One exit might come as something of a
:51:37. > :51:39.relief. There was an air of resignation around the club, you
:51:40. > :51:44.could feel it. Everybody has been preparing for the job ahead.
:51:45. > :51:47.Clearing the decks, getting together, building on what is there,
:51:48. > :51:52.and making sure that we get this football club actor winning ways
:51:53. > :51:57.again. -- back to winning ways. Tranmere have to start winning games
:51:58. > :52:06.with their League One future anything but secure. This second
:52:07. > :52:13.attempt tame by comparison, but they continue to force the pace. The
:52:14. > :52:18.Blades keeper Mark Howard with a smart save. Sheffield United were
:52:19. > :52:23.play-off prospects were slim at best going into this match, there was a
:52:24. > :52:29.late chance for Baxter to decide the contest in favour of the Blades, but
:52:30. > :52:35.Owain Fon Williams kept it out, and the point left Tranmere just a point
:52:36. > :52:38.better off than the bottom four. Walsall's indifferent home for means
:52:39. > :52:42.that they have fallen short of the play-offs. They could have gone in
:52:43. > :52:47.front from this James Chambers cross. The breakthrough soon
:52:48. > :52:55.followed. This drive was beaten away by Stuart Nelson and this time
:52:56. > :53:01.Brandy put away his first goal since January. He almost marked his return
:53:02. > :53:07.with the 17th of the season. To the belief of the visitors it came off
:53:08. > :53:14.the post. The points were shared when the sides met in December, with
:53:15. > :53:22.Cody, scoring twice, and Richard O'Donnell ensured that once again,
:53:23. > :53:25.honours waving. -- where even. A test of character per Notts County
:53:26. > :53:30.after their heartbreaking defeat at Bristol City on Good Friday left
:53:31. > :53:33.them three points from safety. On another day, Jack Greenidge might
:53:34. > :53:38.have won a penalty, and Callum McGregor wasted his chance. Crawley
:53:39. > :53:42.were on a three match winning streak, and Jimmy Spencer climbed
:53:43. > :53:45.highest to meet the free kick. It was a huge boost for their survival
:53:46. > :53:49.prospects. Of all the teams down there, Notts County are showing the
:53:50. > :53:56.kind of fighting spirit you would expect. The goalkeeper making a fine
:53:57. > :54:02.double stop to keep Crawley at bay. There was a fine block on the line

:55:39. > :55:44.Westley in charge that there will be changes and poured hallway in the
:55:45. > :55:53.summer. Certainly, he put in a lot of hard work to take them from the

:56:00. > :56:03.bit, and now he has gone back, he has to reinstall those principles
:56:04. > :56:09.that he proved successful with when he first went there. A lot of hard
:56:10. > :56:12.work there but they are a good club and they will be disappointed with
:56:13. > :56:16.being in League Two, but they are a very hard-working club, very well
:56:17. > :56:21.run, and I think that they will get it right and will be challenging to
:56:22. > :56:26.get back into League One. Notts County put in a tight victory
:56:27. > :56:30.against Crawley town, who had had three consecutive wins before this,
:56:31. > :56:40.and there home form is key to them staying up. I knew that with Shaun

:56:53. > :56:56.that bottom four. One issue is decided on the bottom half of League
:56:57. > :57:03.One, Stevenage have been relegated. It is not looking great for
:57:04. > :57:06.Shrewsbury. Carlisle have got that game in hand. Look at that goal
:57:07. > :57:20.difference as well. And look at Notts County, only -15, with
:57:21. > :57:24.Tranmere and crew macro -- Crewe worse off on goal difference terms,
:57:25. > :57:28.and Coventry, who have had a great first half of the season, finding

:58:01. > :58:10.Nigel Clough has done a fantastic job. But next season will be a big
:58:11. > :58:13.season for them. Could the next two weeks be the most important in

:58:17. > :58:19.face losing their Football League status for the first time in 96
:58:20. > :58:22.years. Desperate for the points today, Clem was at the Memorial for
:58:23. > :58:32.the visit of promotion chasing Rochdale. It is that time of year
:58:33. > :58:35.again when we visit England's six biggest population centre and ask
:58:36. > :58:41.just why is it that a great city like Bristol cannot get its act
:58:42. > :58:47.together on the football field. Bristol City might have rallied at
:58:48. > :58:51.League One in the second half of the season but Bristol Rovers are once
:58:52. > :58:55.again walking the plank and just as work is set to start on the
:58:56. > :58:58.long-awaited new ground, and the man who saved them last season has moved
:58:59. > :59:07.upstairs, and his assistant is in at the deep end. He came in with eight
:59:08. > :59:14.games to go. It is tough at the moment. We have got to get over the
:59:15. > :59:17.line. The squad has not been good enough, we have been down there for
:59:18. > :59:23.majority of the season and Bristol Rovers should not be fighting to
:59:24. > :59:31.stay in the league, but we are in a situation where that is the case.
:59:32. > :59:36.Could this be your penultimate game, after 96 years in the Football
:59:37. > :59:43.League? I hope not. We have had chances to stay up, and we are not
:59:44. > :59:47.getting nothing. If we survive it which I believe we can, there will
:59:48. > :59:52.be a big excitement and the future is extreme exciting, too. Are you
:59:53. > :59:58.seriously worried? I worried, but optimistic. There is so much good of
:59:59. > :00:04.the field with this club, the new stadium on the horizon, hoping to be
:00:05. > :00:07.on site the summer, and that is the catalyst to taking this club
:00:08. > :00:11.forward, what we have been working for foreign long-time and it would
:00:12. > :00:18.be disappointing if this was to happen. How do you live with this
:00:19. > :00:23.scenario around your beloved club? You're just used to it. You always
:00:24. > :00:27.believe. If we go down I will still be here, next season. You cannot
:00:28. > :00:32.believe that we would be going out of the foot wall league, but I think
:00:33. > :01:06.four points will do it. -- the Football League.
:01:07. > :01:15.The fans will be behind us today. We have got to take it as it comes and
:01:16. > :01:26.we are fighting for every second of the game. Rovers couldn't have asked
:01:27. > :01:34.for a better start. Suddenly the relegation loom was lifting. Rovers
:01:35. > :01:37.in front for the first time in a month. Rochdale responded strongly,
:01:38. > :01:44.just before the break Ian Henderson thought he had scored but a post got
:01:45. > :01:49.in the way. If that was the warning shots, Rochdale were encouraged.
:01:50. > :01:55.George Donnelly was next up but a better chance opened up the
:01:56. > :02:04.substitute. Bristol Rovers stayed in front. But not for long. Then the
:02:05. > :02:11.home crowd's worst fears began to grow. Sure enough, the script turned
:02:12. > :02:21.sour. This cross was allowed to run through the entire backline. He
:02:22. > :02:27.could hardly miss. Mitch Harding failing in front of the keeper. The
:02:28. > :02:33.keeper was on hand again. Then he could only watch and wonder where
:02:34. > :02:47.the ball was going next as Bristol Rovers lined up one by one to try
:02:48. > :02:54.their luck. But to no avail. Stuff of nightmares? Yes, we had such a
:02:55. > :02:57.good start but the game ran away from us. Rochdale played some good
:02:58. > :03:06.foot all and we have to do our best to retain our league status. I want
:03:07. > :03:11.us to do it the right way. We are not down yet and we will come back
:03:12. > :03:15.strong. Fighting talk there. But not even a bit of Hollywood glitz could
:03:16. > :03:24.help Bristol Rovers. What has gone wrong this season? Lots of injuries.
:03:25. > :03:30.They went into the season with a lot of hope. The fight for the new
:03:31. > :03:37.stadium has been a distraction. I think the players thought they were
:03:38. > :03:46.safe and Ben became complacent. That culminated with John Ward stepping
:03:47. > :03:50.down. I don't know the circumstances behind why he stepped down, but I
:03:51. > :03:56.thought it would be more plausible for him to hold the reins to get
:03:57. > :04:03.them over the line. Then Dell finds himself in a difficult situation.
:04:04. > :04:10.His first managerial job. What do you make of it? It is his first ever
:04:11. > :04:15.league manager's job. I don't think it was a good idea. Even if they
:04:16. > :04:25.were hatching to do this change, they could have done it in a more
:04:26. > :04:32.secretive way. The players haven't taken on the ideas yet. Whickham
:04:33. > :04:38.away and Mansfield at home, 94 years of history at stake, can they do it?
:04:39. > :04:42.Yes they can, they have great support but they need to get it
:04:43. > :04:46.together quickly. To League Two now and Scunthorpe were on the threshold
:04:47. > :04:50.of a return to League One at the first time of asking earlier today
:04:51. > :04:54.if Fleetwood failed to beat Wycombe, Burton failed to win at Newport, and
:04:55. > :05:02.the Iron overcame Oxford at Glanford Park.
:05:03. > :05:07.The stakes were high for both clubs with Whickham hovering just above
:05:08. > :05:15.the bottom two but their cause was helped after 13 minutes when Alan
:05:16. > :05:20.Goodall hit out. The referee was left with little option. Fleetwood
:05:21. > :05:26.were determined not to be fazed by their numerical disadvantage.
:05:27. > :05:35.Matthew Black almost capitalised. The ten men prevailed when Josh
:05:36. > :05:42.Morris scored his second goal of the Easter weekend to keep Whickham
:05:43. > :05:48.fretting and Scunthorpe waiting. To win 1-0 when you are down to ten men
:05:49. > :05:51.for 80 minutes is a fantastic result. The players were superb
:05:52. > :06:00.today. We passed the ball well and defended really well. So the
:06:01. > :06:03.champagne stays on ice at Scunthorpe, but it won't be long
:06:04. > :06:11.before the corks popping. Against Oxford it took Sparrow just seven
:06:12. > :06:16.minutes will stop having dropped out of the top seven on Friday,
:06:17. > :06:26.Oxford's own promotion hopes hinged on a victory here. The goalkeeper
:06:27. > :06:32.made this save as Scunthorpe looked to make sure of victory. In the end
:06:33. > :06:40.one goal was enough. Oxford were clear of eighth place in February.
:06:41. > :06:46.But now Scunthorpe look destined for League one. We're not quite over the
:06:47. > :06:54.line. I was hoping we could win this game today and results could go our
:06:55. > :06:59.way. But we are getting closer. Chesterfield edged another step
:07:00. > :07:04.closer to promotion after a second successive away win. The decisive
:07:05. > :07:14.moment came just beef or the halfway mark. Erwin Doyle smashed in his
:07:15. > :07:19.13th of the season. Danny Care and had a go from close range but the
:07:20. > :07:32.goalkeeper produced a brilliant save. Dagenham nearly levelled
:07:33. > :07:38.seconds later. If you want to be promoted you have to win. I think 14
:07:39. > :07:49.teams are vying for the three spots. They are all very good, competitive
:07:50. > :07:52.sides. Burton went into this game for point of the automatic promotion
:07:53. > :08:09.places but suffered a set back at Newport. Burton's leveller came from
:08:10. > :08:15.the penalty spot. Composed finish from the resulting spot kick. County
:08:16. > :08:24.displayed plenty of attacking intent. This header came back off
:08:25. > :08:34.the post and they could not put away the follow-up. Christian jolly
:08:35. > :08:41.picked out will not only for the Burton keeper to make an important
:08:42. > :08:47.stop. Alex Mack doll and hit the post. -- Alex Macdonald. Burton had
:08:48. > :08:52.to make do with a point and a guaranteed play-off spot. We showed
:08:53. > :08:59.good character actor starting poorly and allowing Newport to dictate the
:09:00. > :09:04.game for the first ten minutes to use their strength and put balls in
:09:05. > :09:11.our box. Then we started playing a little bit of what we know we can.
:09:12. > :09:22.Goalless at half-time, this game turned on the bounce of the ball on
:09:23. > :09:32.the hour. That was the matchwinner. Phil Brown was glad this keeper was
:09:33. > :09:37.ready for that volley. The victory margin could have been doubled on
:09:38. > :09:49.this breakaway. Clifford made the running but they could not match the
:09:50. > :09:53.finish. Nigel Worthington's work has tended to pass under the radar, but
:09:54. > :09:58.the team who survived on the final day last season, are close to
:09:59. > :10:03.sealing a play-off place thanks to that first goal for the club. Bury
:10:04. > :10:07.have timed their late surge to late for the postseason, rather like this
:10:08. > :10:14.challenge on Ben Davis, which resulted in a second yellow card.
:10:15. > :10:24.But the ten men York are honest to the finish as this delivery was just
:10:25. > :10:32.about out. It was a very hard-fought three points against and in form
:10:33. > :10:41.team who had a slim champs of reaching the play-offs. -- channels.
:10:42. > :10:50.The lads were superb. At kick-off, Wimbledon could have been relegated.
:10:51. > :10:55.Survival, safety, call it what you want, you cannot talk about that
:10:56. > :11:07.word ahead of their trip to the West Country. But the loan signing helped
:11:08. > :11:14.turn things around. He showed strength and poise to tear up this
:11:15. > :11:26.equaliser. The Wimbledon comeback was completed in the second half.
:11:27. > :11:39.Jake Cole prevented Danny Hilton from prepared -- adding to the
:11:40. > :11:44.Wimbledon lead. This one did not go according to the form book.
:11:45. > :11:47.Mansfield had won four out of five while Cheltenham arrived with only
:11:48. > :11:54.one big tree from their previous seven. Lewis Price made a top save.
:11:55. > :12:07.But they did get their noses in front when Harrison teared up this
:12:08. > :12:11.shot. The win was sealed by another strike 11 minutes from time. Martin
:12:12. > :12:17.Reilly was caught daydreaming following this through ball. The
:12:18. > :12:33.angle was just right as Cheltenham rubber-stamped their league two
:12:34. > :12:37.status for another season. Portsmouth were defending a 100%
:12:38. > :12:47.record since their caretaker boss took over. Pompey held on to the
:12:48. > :12:53.slender lead and North Hampton, in desperate need of points, could not
:12:54. > :13:04.find the equaliser. The cobblers failed to score at home. An unmarked
:13:05. > :13:06.John Marquis could have given them some reward but the finish was
:13:07. > :13:14.lacking and Northampton occupy one of the right -- relegation places
:13:15. > :13:19.with only two games left. Whatever their early ambitions, this
:13:20. > :13:27.was a no-nonsense relegation scrap for both. Morecambe struck first to
:13:28. > :13:33.threaten a seventh successive defeat on Hartlepool. Morecambe had not won
:13:34. > :13:41.in six weeks but their chances look to increase when the home side were
:13:42. > :13:47.reduced to ten men. He was red carded for the second time in six
:13:48. > :13:58.weeks. Within ten minutes, the ten men were level through Jack
:13:59. > :14:02.Compton's first goal since December. Enter another substitute called
:14:03. > :14:09.Jack. Barry Roach failed to hold onto this shot. Hartlepool were in
:14:10. > :14:18.dreamland. The turnaround could have been better. Brad Walker's
:14:19. > :14:22.opportunism almost made it three and the follow-up was beaten away. But
:14:23. > :14:30.Hartlepool moved five points clear of the drop zone.
:14:31. > :14:34.Torquay knew it was when all relegation today and faced the
:14:35. > :14:38.prospect of local rivals sending them back to non-league fob ball.
:14:39. > :14:44.They made the worst possible start when nervous defending allowed Tom
:14:45. > :14:51.Nichols to assist Scott Bennett. The goal needed a hero. Up stepped
:14:52. > :14:56.courtly Cameron, his first goal for the club could not have been better
:14:57. > :15:02.timed. And before Exeter ride the plunge about, this through ball
:15:03. > :15:08.allowed Ashley Yeoman to turn this derby on its head. And there was
:15:09. > :15:14.more drama in the final minute of stoppage time. Richard Sterne night
:15:15. > :15:22.to keep Torquay up for now and leave Exeter worrying. Very disappointed
:15:23. > :15:27.with the result. The performance was secondary to the result. You want
:15:28. > :15:30.the players to play at their best but they were very anxious, it was
:15:31. > :15:36.about the result today and we did not get it. Very important not to
:15:37. > :15:41.let local rivals send us down, I did not want that for the fans, and the
:15:42. > :15:45.families of the players, we could not let that happen. An incredible
:15:46. > :15:53.fightback from Torquay in the Devon derby. Lots of fight left in that
:15:54. > :15:57.team. People thought they were down three games ago, but they have given
:15:58. > :16:04.themselves a smidgen of a chance to get out of it and well done to them.
:16:05. > :16:07.That victory by Fleetwood Mac Scunthorpe could not go up on
:16:08. > :16:11.Saturday but it means that Scunthorpe take the unbeaten run to
:16:12. > :16:16.28. Fleetwood are still very much on the tails of the top three. It was
:16:17. > :16:25.an impressive goal, a great strike, low to the keeper's left. They have
:16:26. > :16:31.shown good discipline and good spirit to get the three points. York
:16:32. > :16:38.ending the season very strongly, unbeaten in 15. You can talk about
:16:39. > :16:48.statistics all night long for them, couldn't you? Yes, they have only
:16:49. > :16:51.conceded two in their last 14. That is where you expected them to stay
:16:52. > :16:56.after last season, just missing out on relegation by the skin of their
:16:57. > :17:00.teeth, so Nigel Worthington, an international manager, going to York
:17:01. > :17:06.City, and he saw some potential there, that is why. Let's see how
:17:07. > :17:10.you see the top and bottom playing itself out in League Two. It has all
:17:11. > :17:17.been neck and neck with the top three going to the title. Firstly,
:17:18. > :17:24.they want to secure promotion. Scunthorpe were just a point or two
:17:25. > :17:29.away from that. Chesterfield and Rochdale, I think that they will
:17:30. > :17:32.secure that place. What still with a good win at Bristol Rovers, coming
:17:33. > :17:38.from behind. And Fleetwood might just miss out. York, into that final
:17:39. > :17:43.play-off spot, Oxford will be disappointed, it has not worked out
:17:44. > :17:50.under Gary Gates, but maybe they can go again next season. And at the
:17:51. > :17:58.bottom, is the writing on the wall for Torquay? They take on Wycombe
:17:59. > :18:01.Wanderers at home, and if they can win that game that gives them an
:18:02. > :18:05.opportunity that they might be able to take. Northampton have only lost
:18:06. > :18:10.three of the last 14, and they have got Oxford in the last game of the
:18:11. > :18:16.season. Bristol Rovers looking to be in real trouble. Still so much to
:18:17. > :18:25.play for with two games left for each side. That's all from us but
:18:26. > :18:28.before we go just a reminder that Match Of The Day is back next
:18:29. > :18:31.Saturday at 10.30pm on BBC One, followed by the best from the Skybet
:18:32. > :18:33.Football League straight after. My thanks to Leroy. See you on
