:00:37. > :00:40.Hello, following the international break, the focus returns to domestic
:00:41. > :00:43.football, and the SkyBet Football League, although we have an exotic
:00:44. > :00:46.international feel with the arrived of Jose Mourinho's former assistant
:00:47. > :00:52.at Real Madrid, Aitor Karanka, taking charge of his first game at
:00:53. > :00:57.Middlesbrough. Steve's here reflect on that appointment as well as all
:00:58. > :01:06.the other news in a packed show. Here's a taste of what's coming up.
:01:07. > :01:09.Nottingham Forest reignited their Championship charge two weeks ago
:01:10. > :01:12.with a 2-0 smash and grab at local rivals Leicester. Next up for Billy
:01:13. > :01:16.Davies' promotion-chasers, the visit of League leaders, Burnley. We've
:01:17. > :01:21.the best of the action and plenty to debate afterwards. One point and one
:01:22. > :01:23.place separated Wigan and Brighton going into their match today. Two
:01:24. > :01:32.sides with realistic promotion ambitions went head to head at the
:01:33. > :01:34.DW Stadium. We've extended highlights from the early kick-off
:01:35. > :01:44.as Sheffield Wednesday met Huddersfield in a gritty Yorkshire
:01:45. > :01:47.derby. And it's a club which has a reputation for making the headlines
:01:48. > :01:50.for all the wrong reasons but there's no football club more active
:01:51. > :01:52.in its community than Millwall. I'm at the Den for the visit of
:01:53. > :02:04.Barnsley. Nottingham Forest gave their
:02:05. > :02:08.promotion push a real shot in the arm a fortnight ago with surprise
:02:09. > :02:11.victory at Leicester. Well, earlier today there was another terrific
:02:12. > :02:19.contest in prospect as Billy Davies' side welcomed the League leaders
:02:20. > :02:24.Burnley to the City Ground. Paul Walker is the commentator.
:02:25. > :02:27.Burnley's staying power continues to be questioned but they keep coming
:02:28. > :02:33.up with the right answers. Unbeaten in 11, their best run in 15 seasons.
:02:34. > :02:38.But their credentials will be tested today against a side that have lost
:02:39. > :02:43.just once at home and saw Leicester in their last outing. -- saw off
:02:44. > :02:48.Leicester. The breakers not been kind of Forest -- on Forest, losing
:02:49. > :03:01.the services of Andy Reid and David Forrest. Eric Lichaj returns at the
:03:02. > :03:04.back. As for the leaders, just one change from their game a fortnight
:03:05. > :03:13.ago. David Edgar takes his place in midfield.
:03:14. > :03:18.Burnley, content on keeping the ball. If they are to get something
:03:19. > :03:32.here, they will have to work hard. Shackell clips his heels. Sticking
:03:33. > :03:42.out that left like. Cox goes tumbling. -- left leg. Let's see
:03:43. > :03:47.what Lansbury can do. Terrific strike from Lansbury. The danger is
:03:48. > :03:53.not clear. Another chance. Taken away by Majewski. A really good
:03:54. > :03:56.chance by Lansbury. An excellent hit. The keeper was nowhere near. My
:03:57. > :04:13.yes they, in bravely. -- Majewski. A vital challenge their from
:04:14. > :04:28.Trippier. The referees happy with the
:04:29. > :04:34.challenge. Cox, beaten away. A chance for Paterson. No one is in
:04:35. > :04:40.red waiting to pounce on the loose ball.
:04:41. > :04:47.Neat play from Cox initially. Trippier with the clearance. Cox on
:04:48. > :05:01.the second phase of play, putting Heaton at full stretch.
:05:02. > :05:14.Trippier... Is there a hand on there? It is a penalty. Gonzalo Arai
:05:15. > :05:30.is the man penalised. -- Gonzalo Jara. The cross clearly had his arm.
:05:31. > :05:39.Canton votes stick it away? And he can. And all leaders lead. -- can
:05:40. > :05:46.Sam Vokes. Double figures for the season. Burnley make a breakthrough.
:05:47. > :05:50.Against the role of play. -- the run of play. Right into the corner from
:05:51. > :05:53.Sam Vokes. Darlow could get nowhere near it. And the table toppers have
:05:54. > :06:24.the edge. Where is this going? It is in the
:06:25. > :06:29.net. 1-1. For as the level. Simon Cox is equalised. -- Forest have
:06:30. > :06:39.levelled. Paterson does ever so well, sending in the crocs. --
:06:40. > :06:41.sending in the cross. Right on half-time, too. The timing could not
:06:42. > :07:01.be better. Danny Ings has found a way through.
:07:02. > :07:11.Our field! Shallow bar, right in the thick of the action. -- Chalobah.
:07:12. > :07:21.Things got lucky there. But it was Chalobah's block.
:07:22. > :07:31.The header, just wide. The young man was very close to putting Forest on
:07:32. > :07:43.top. Tom Heaton will be mightily relieved to see that fly wide.
:07:44. > :07:51.Good save. Not sure how much Darlow knew about that. That was a vicious
:07:52. > :07:57.drive. A famous face in the crowd, Alistair
:07:58. > :08:28.Campbell. A big fan of Burnley. Channel back smack -- Chalobah!
:08:29. > :08:38.Tried to bend it. Forest fans in full voice.
:08:39. > :08:49.Almost in from Hobbes. It just brushed past his head. It was a
:08:50. > :09:00.really good leap but he could not put it on target.
:09:01. > :09:24.Jamie Mackie! Henderson! Good save by Heaton. Mackie, fortunate.
:09:25. > :09:28.Henderson was lurking. Good save. What did you make of that
:09:29. > :09:34.performance? Probably the same as you. -- the same as you. It was a
:09:35. > :09:38.fantastic performance under was only one team that was going to win the
:09:39. > :09:41.game. It was -- if it was not for that penalty decision, you would
:09:42. > :09:46.agree the rest of the game was only ever going to be one team. We did
:09:47. > :09:52.not play as well as we can but to be honest we are top of the league. So
:09:53. > :09:55.we know we are a work in progress. And we think it is important to
:09:56. > :10:00.continue the good work we are doing. I've got an honest group. And they
:10:01. > :10:05.come away with a point here, and we are marginally disappointed, which
:10:06. > :10:08.is a fantastic sign, given what they are achieving individually and
:10:09. > :10:14.collectively. I thought we gave everything today but we did not use
:10:15. > :10:23.the ball as well as we normally do. An enjoyable game. It was. I've
:10:24. > :10:30.really did enjoy it. There was a verve about it. It was just what we
:10:31. > :10:37.expect from the Championship. In the penalty incident. We were going at
:10:38. > :10:39.it, debating this earlier. The penalty was awarded and I was
:10:40. > :10:45.thinking, their enough, but you were going, no! Tell us why. I understand
:10:46. > :10:50.why you would say that it was before me, that is a natural position for
:10:51. > :10:53.that to be in. It is not about distance. It is about whether or not
:10:54. > :11:00.it is a naturally action for the Army to be where it is. And if you
:11:01. > :11:02.look at Jara, when he goes in, he needs to push himself forward and
:11:03. > :11:08.you need to elevate your arms. His arms are high but that is a natural
:11:09. > :11:13.position. Look at this play. We can get another look at this. Look at
:11:14. > :11:16.Jones when Paterson faces them. It Paterson hits this against him,
:11:17. > :11:22.watch him. He is not stretching but still his arms are out, because that
:11:23. > :11:26.is a natural position. Although it is a different tackle and a
:11:27. > :11:28.different way of blocking it if that ball had hit him there, the penalty
:11:29. > :11:34.would not be given because of the distance. It is not about distance,
:11:35. > :11:36.it is about the natural position of the arm.
:11:37. > :11:39.it is about the natural position of the And you say he had to challenge
:11:40. > :11:46.and the only way he could was the way he did, therefore no penalty? As
:11:47. > :11:49.for Burnley, unbeaten in 12. Surprising that they had there this
:11:50. > :11:56.season. Could you see them going the distance? -- surprising that they
:11:57. > :12:00.had they are. I can. Sean mentioned honest. I think that sums up. He
:12:01. > :12:05.knows what he's to get. That is great for him, not just because of
:12:06. > :12:09.the players he has inherited, but the players he had bought. Great
:12:10. > :12:14.attitudes. They were not at their best. The players that you expect to
:12:15. > :12:18.play were not at the top of their game, but to grind out a result like
:12:19. > :12:23.that, against a side who played well, that marks them as a team you
:12:24. > :12:31.can see going all the way. And you will not always be at your best at
:12:32. > :12:34.the top of the table. After slow starts, Wigan and
:12:35. > :12:37.Brighton were both showing signs of improving form going into their
:12:38. > :12:41.match at the DW earlier today. Both were unbeaten in four and lying just
:12:42. > :12:44.outside the play off places. Seeing as both sides had won their previous
:12:45. > :12:47.to matches, it was no surprise that both Owen Coyle and Oscar Garcia
:12:48. > :12:50.named unchanged line-ups for their clash at the DW Stadium.
:12:51. > :12:53.Marc-Antoine Fortune once again led the line for Wigan, after opening
:12:54. > :12:56.his account for the club last time-out at Yeovil. Young Brighton
:12:57. > :12:59.midfielder, Jake Forster-Caskey, was hoping to extend his goal-scoring
:13:00. > :13:01.streak having scored in the last two games. Alistair Mann was watching
:13:02. > :13:26.this one. It sets up for Bruno. Nichols makes
:13:27. > :13:31.the save. He did exceptionally well. Just how Bruno was allowed to get to
:13:32. > :13:54.that ball so easily must be a question for the Wigan back line.
:13:55. > :14:01.Actually, when you look at it a second time, maybe it was a misfit
:14:02. > :14:09.from Fortune. Why do not know if he intended to find Watson. -- I do not
:14:10. > :14:19.know. Fortune and Powell. A good turn by Powell. In the end, he
:14:20. > :14:22.slammed it to close. The little role off the back of the defender had
:14:23. > :14:33.taken him into the clear, and his shot was a little disappointing.
:14:34. > :14:43.Wigan began the day to point in the game in hand on sixth, so the three
:14:44. > :14:48.points could take them into the area where they fancy they belong.
:14:49. > :14:56.They might go a goal behind here... It was planted by Forster-Caskey
:14:57. > :15:02.straight into the body of Lee Nicholls. Well, he had a lot to a
:15:03. > :15:07.mad, but he only succeeded in giving it to Lee Nicholls. He is in good
:15:08. > :15:11.form, Forster-Caskey, scored in successive games, and the best
:15:12. > :15:12.chance of the match, I would argue, missed in the opening seconds after
:15:13. > :15:30.the interval. Brighton. McManaman. Good hit. Good
:15:31. > :15:35.stop. -- Albrighton. The first time that Kuszczak has really been tested
:15:36. > :15:37.and not a surprise that it was McManaman, who has it in him to get
:15:38. > :15:59.beyond defenders. What a transfer Grant Holt. Which he
:16:00. > :16:07.misses. Disbelief. It fell to the right bad, as well. -- to the right
:16:08. > :16:11.man. A mistake by the Brighton skipper and a golden opportunity in
:16:12. > :16:16.a game of so few opportunities. You would have put your mortgage on
:16:17. > :16:22.Grant Holt. Well, I have to say, you would be homeless.
:16:23. > :16:35.Craig Conway. Lopez. And surely? Brilliant save. Lee Nicholls denies
:16:36. > :16:39.Forster-Caskey. But the rebound is turned in by Crofts. And Brighton
:16:40. > :16:45.are in front just after Wigan ought to have been. No wonder Lee Nicholls
:16:46. > :16:48.is upset, because he made a breathtaking save. Forster-Caskey
:16:49. > :16:55.ought to have scored but Lee Nicholls with a miracle save.
:16:56. > :16:58.Absolutely wonderful. And all of a sudden, Crofts nudges in the
:16:59. > :17:04.rebound. This save is reminiscent of one of the best, and his reward,
:17:05. > :17:08.sadly, is to see the rebound turned in by Crofts. And Brighton, who
:17:09. > :17:21.ought to be a goal behind at the grand hold -- grand
:17:22. > :17:35.-- at the grand hold had a golden opportunity find themselves in
:17:36. > :17:38.front. Another good save by Lee Nicholls and the game is opening
:17:39. > :17:43.up, and opening up in Brighton's favour. He has looked calm and
:17:44. > :17:57.relaxed and almost expected this kind of performance from his team.
:17:58. > :18:05.Great save. He is so bitterly disappointed because he thought he
:18:06. > :18:10.had done it right and made amends for his team. That is the character
:18:11. > :18:18.of the man. On target, this header, good save by Kuszczak. We have let
:18:19. > :18:23.ourselves down today. Great support again, the fans got behind the team
:18:24. > :18:27.and we huffed and puffed but it was a game we dominated in the first
:18:28. > :18:30.half and should have put the game to bed, but if you don't take those
:18:31. > :18:34.chances, there is always a chance of getting caught with that sucker
:18:35. > :18:40.punch and that is what happened. Was this one of your better performances
:18:41. > :18:44.this season? It was a good performance because it is not easy
:18:45. > :18:48.to come here and win against this big team with a strong squad and a
:18:49. > :18:52.good manager. It is not easy because nobody has done it before. But for
:18:53. > :19:03.me, it wasn't our best performance. The international break had given
:19:04. > :19:08.Leicester time to brood on their defeat to Midlands rivals Nottingham
:19:09. > :19:13.Forest, a rare blip in their formidable form. Ipswich manager
:19:14. > :19:19.Nigel Pearson -- at Ipswich, manager Nigel Pearson said they were keen to
:19:20. > :19:24.get back to business. But David McGoldrick was having none of that.
:19:25. > :19:28.The trouble is, there is a Leicester player who loves playing on this
:19:29. > :19:35.Suffolk turf will stop David Nugent is the bane of the tractor boys'
:19:36. > :19:38.life. His third strike made it a dozen goals in a dozen games and
:19:39. > :19:44.maintained a record of scoring in every visit to Portman Road. So no
:19:45. > :19:49.guessing who benefited from Lloyd Dyer's good work. Nugent turned the
:19:50. > :19:53.score around with the second placed Leicester hunting Burnley at the
:19:54. > :20:01.top. It was far from a cruise at the finish, with Chambers coming close,
:20:02. > :20:04.but Nigel Pearson's men made off with the three points. The only
:20:05. > :20:09.consolation for the Ipswich fans was that their nemesis did not get the
:20:10. > :20:13.match ball, but it was mighty close. We did not play with a lot of
:20:14. > :20:16.rhythm, which caused us a few problems but we rectified that in
:20:17. > :20:23.the second half and everybody upped their game quite a bit and I think
:20:24. > :20:27.we deserved to win the game. There is a double anniversary for
:20:28. > :20:33.Harry Redknapp this week. It is a year since he took charge at QPR and
:20:34. > :20:38.30 since his first manager's job at Bournemouth. But this was a
:20:39. > :20:42.celebration that threatened to fall flat. Ben Hamer kept out Charlie
:20:43. > :20:48.Austin and Gary O'Neil in quick succession. Rangers were not at
:20:49. > :20:51.their best and often reduced to long-range efforts, although Matt
:20:52. > :20:56.Phillips was another player to bring the best out of Ben Hamer. Charlton
:20:57. > :21:01.made life very uncomfortable for their hosts but lacked the guile to
:21:02. > :21:05.truly trouble the football league's meanest defence. Cousins kept Rob
:21:06. > :21:10.Green busy and Kermorgant was offside on the follow-up. The game
:21:11. > :21:15.was settled by a moment of brilliance from Charlie Austin. Ben
:21:16. > :21:18.Hamer left helpless by his 40th minute strike, struck sweetly with
:21:19. > :21:25.his right foot, although Austin seemed to think he hit it with his
:21:26. > :21:29.left. Shaun Wright Phillips almost trumped his team-mate with this
:21:30. > :21:35.effort, but Austin was once again the matchwinner. Charlie has been
:21:36. > :21:40.smashing, he has done well for us. He has led the line, he works hard,
:21:41. > :21:46.great attitude, never misses a minute's training. He has been
:21:47. > :21:49.great, really impressive. Blackpool boss Paul Ince was
:21:50. > :21:55.completing a five-game stadium ban, so he missed out on his team's trip
:21:56. > :21:59.to St Andrews. His assistant Alex Rae took charge. Birmingham had been
:22:00. > :22:04.beaten in their previous two home league games but after I messed
:22:05. > :22:11.attempted clearance, Jesse Lingard made it count. Blackpool were level
:22:12. > :22:16.before the break. No surprise that Tom Ince played a part and Ricardo
:22:17. > :22:20.Fuller finished off the move. Like Paul, who suffered a rare defeat in
:22:21. > :22:23.their last outing, had chances to win the encounter. It was a match
:22:24. > :22:29.that never lacked in goalmouth incident. Tom Ince thought he had
:22:30. > :22:40.done enough before Dan burns intervened. At the other end, Tyler
:22:41. > :22:44.bracket twice denied Birmingham. Lingard's cross caused confusion and
:22:45. > :22:50.Matt Gilks in the visitors' goal came to collect but failed, and let
:22:51. > :22:54.off as the points were shared. They are in the top six, it is not a
:22:55. > :22:57.fluke. They have got good players, at the top end of the field. Very
:22:58. > :23:04.exciting and they are well organised, so it was a tough game
:23:05. > :23:08.but probably a fair result. Since the start of October, neither
:23:09. > :23:12.of these sites has impressed. Going into the weekend, the records read
:23:13. > :23:16.one win in five Blackburn and one in six for Redding. With both sides
:23:17. > :23:21.struggling the consistency, it was hard to know what to expect. Rovers
:23:22. > :23:26.were the first to threaten, David Dunn going alone, the post
:23:27. > :23:38.intervening after a wicked deflection. Another Rovers attack,
:23:39. > :23:46.with defenders converging in all directions, he forced McCarthy into
:23:47. > :23:52.action. After the break, Grant Hanley with a committed challenge on
:23:53. > :23:57.Gunter. A penalty or a yellow card for diving? The referee opted for
:23:58. > :24:03.the latter, surprising both managers but angering only one. It is a claim
:24:04. > :24:06.penalty, the manager hasn't seen it that way, so it is annoying
:24:07. > :24:11.everybody but we have to get ourselves ready for the next one --
:24:12. > :24:14.clear penalty. It is nice that Gary Bowley, the Blackburn manager,
:24:15. > :24:19.actually admitted they should have conceded a penalty. Going back to
:24:20. > :24:23.the Brighton game, one goal in it but one that could have been avoided
:24:24. > :24:27.from Wigan point of view. It could, no doubt, but on the balance of
:24:28. > :24:32.play, they edged it and it was the right result. The ball comes in, it
:24:33. > :24:38.is a good header from Forster-Caskey but they don't react. Crofts is the
:24:39. > :24:42.only one who is proactive. Three defenders around him and they almost
:24:43. > :24:47.think that because the save has been made, the danger is cleared. Ben
:24:48. > :24:57.Watson does not do enough, he is more concerned with crofts and
:24:58. > :25:04.actually attacking the ball. Crofts is good in the air. And if Grant
:25:05. > :25:09.Holt had scored a chance just before that, it could have gone the other
:25:10. > :25:13.way but Brighton are in good form. The goal was almost identical to the
:25:14. > :25:17.Shane Long one Chelsea recently, with the defender standing around
:25:18. > :25:22.and he was the only one to react. Crofts has stood his ground, it was
:25:23. > :25:25.a good header and he got his reward. Leicester City, David Nugent with a
:25:26. > :25:31.couple of goals today after scoring just one in the previous six and
:25:32. > :25:34.Lloyd Dyer was involved once again. Yes, heavily times have we seen
:25:35. > :25:39.this? Leicester on the attack, on the break, where they have that
:25:40. > :25:43.extra bit of pace. Look at him breaking. You see at a time and
:25:44. > :25:48.again, creating opportunities, and it is a good finish on his 100th
:25:49. > :25:52.appearance, to get a brace like that is a nice way to celebrate. It
:25:53. > :25:56.wasn't so long ago that he was languishing in the Portsmouth
:25:57. > :26:01.reserves. They have that handy bit of Championship know-how, the likes
:26:02. > :26:04.of those players. They were near the top of last
:26:05. > :26:07.year, lessons were learned because they fell away from the top and
:26:08. > :26:11.maybe they can put it right. More from the Championship now and
:26:12. > :26:12.we start with the early kick-off at Hillsborough. Both Sheffield
:26:13. > :26:16.Wednesday and visitors Huddersfield were looking to bounce back from
:26:17. > :26:19.recent setbacks. Wednesday boss Dave Jones made four changes from the
:26:20. > :26:26.defeat at Derby, with goalkeeper Martinez, plus Semedo, Mattock and
:26:27. > :26:29.Llera coming in. Mark Robins was even more drastic, with six changes
:26:30. > :26:42.to his Huddersfield starting 11, including
:26:43. > :26:55.Patterson! His 50th career league goal, his first for Huddersfield.
:26:56. > :27:00.Certainly for me, he is well beyond the last defender. But the goal is
:27:01. > :27:10.good, it stands, but maybe it shouldn't.
:27:11. > :27:18.Jonathan Hogg goes on. Wednesday have been second best so far by a
:27:19. > :27:25.big margin. It has been a slow start by Dave Jones's team. His first-team
:27:26. > :27:28.coach Stuart Gray down there. They have two turn this corner pretty
:27:29. > :27:31.soon, it is their worst start to a campaign in 12 years. -- they have
:27:32. > :27:46.to. Martinez hangs on, just. From
:27:47. > :28:03.range, the goalkeeper watches it. It does move and swerve.
:28:04. > :28:20.Dixon 's shot, and James Vaughan to finish... Which he fails to do.
:28:21. > :28:27.An old-fashioned winger Jermaine Johnson, a fine player to watch in
:28:28. > :28:34.full flow. And a good shot and a good save from Alex Smith is. His
:28:35. > :28:45.first of the game. -- from Smithies.
:28:46. > :28:59.And a second goal Clayton. -- for Clayton. He scored last season from
:29:00. > :29:02.the spot and makes the most in open play of a break in the penalty area
:29:03. > :29:09.and doubles the lead for the Terriers.
:29:10. > :29:16.Jermaine Johnson with the shot and the game, Smithies is equal to it.
:29:17. > :29:20.Smithies wants to keep his clean sheet intact, he has made two really
:29:21. > :29:30.good save so far from Jermaine Johnson.
:29:31. > :29:41.It is a free-kick here on Semedo. Impressive shift from Huddersfield's
:29:42. > :29:49.goalkeeper. It will be Wickham. It is Wickham. It is in. It 2-1 with
:29:50. > :29:54.seconds left to play. Is there enough time for a second goal for
:29:55. > :30:02.Wednesday to take an unlikely draw. He kept it low. He got a way
:30:03. > :30:05.through. I thought we were outstanding for the first hour. We
:30:06. > :30:08.could have been more goals up. I thought we controlled the game
:30:09. > :30:14.pretty much for the first hour. Wednesday got a foothold and started
:30:15. > :30:18.peppering our back four with balls. In fairness we dealt with it OK
:30:19. > :30:21.apart from the free-kick where we conceded and really spoilt the day.
:30:22. > :30:26.When you are in a dog fight or trying to win something, you still
:30:27. > :30:31.have to fight and scrap. It's too easy just to say, I won't put that
:30:32. > :30:36.ball in, in case I make a mistake. You have to keep doing the right
:30:37. > :30:41.things, you have to keep going and going and maybe one or two aren't
:30:42. > :30:56.doing that at this moment in time. It wasn't that long ago that Almunia
:30:57. > :31:10.was spoken about as a possible England goalkeeper. . Bond took
:31:11. > :31:13.Almuinoa's place in the second-half. Bolton's slow start to the season is
:31:14. > :31:21.becoming a distant memory. This third straight win takes their
:31:22. > :31:25.unbeaten run to eight matches. It was Beckford's opportunism that
:31:26. > :31:29.keeps Bolton trodding along nicely. He is in there every time and
:31:30. > :31:33.looking for the opportunities, goals that come his way. Very sharp.
:31:34. > :31:38.Slippery day for goalkeepers. A couple of mistakes from goalkeepers.
:31:39. > :31:44.Throughout the match we deserved that win. We did a lot in terms of
:31:45. > :31:51.keeping the ball, not enough in scoring and taking shots. And
:31:52. > :32:06.transforming the possession into something more important. Tribute
:32:07. > :32:12.was paid to Gary Speed as they commemorate his second anniversary
:32:13. > :32:16.of his un imely death. When McCormack played in back stock,
:32:17. > :32:24.Middlesbrough were fortunate to survive. McCormack scored all four
:32:25. > :32:29.at the Valley as was back among the goals with their opener. For Boro,
:32:30. > :32:36.with a new man at the Helm, things weren't going to plan. The
:32:37. > :32:43.Teessiders were reduced to 10 men. The keep crashed into Blackstock. He
:32:44. > :32:48.was red carded. A goal down, a man down and Leeds with the initiative.
:32:49. > :32:57.Despite the setback, Boro equalised. This run and cross was swept home at
:32:58. > :33:02.the first time of asking by Carayol. Jason Pearce won it for United to
:33:03. > :33:07.continue their recent improvement. He climbed highest. It proved to be
:33:08. > :33:11.the decisive moment. The Leeds boss could take plenty of postives from
:33:12. > :33:16.this latest triumph. Confidence is good. Thats with a tough game today.
:33:17. > :33:21.The second-half we had to try and win the game. Down to 10-men can be
:33:22. > :33:28.difficult to play against. They have pace in their team and good players.
:33:29. > :33:33.We are delighted with three points. The team wasn't in the best at the
:33:34. > :33:43.last-minute, one player less and fighting to the end. McLaren is
:33:44. > :33:51.having to play down promotion talk, an indication that things are
:33:52. > :33:58.working out well so far. Lee Camp had to be fully focused. Chris
:33:59. > :34:03.Martin's effort was tipped over. Bournemouth have only had one win in
:34:04. > :34:09.eight before this match. An excellent run, but he lacked the
:34:10. > :34:13.composure to tee up a team-mate. A terrific passing move cut the
:34:14. > :34:19.Cherries open, Jamie Ward struck the match winner. Four in five games for
:34:20. > :34:25.him. Derby now a single point shy of a top sixth birth. We got the
:34:26. > :34:29.breakthrough with whats with a great goal. From our throw-in, 10, 11
:34:30. > :34:45.passes, great cross. Great football. Seized on by Duffy. Great chance for
:34:46. > :35:06.the opening goal. There it is. Tucked away by Furman. He is on a
:35:07. > :35:11.loan spell from Manchester United, with the assist. Given away to
:35:12. > :35:17.Hoskins. Doncaster are on the back foot. Sam Hoskins. It will be a
:35:18. > :35:23.booking for sure for Furman. He has bought one for the team there,
:35:24. > :35:30.Furman. They were really in trouble. Back pedalling as a unit, Doncaster.
:35:31. > :35:40.Free-kick. Naturally, a giant figure of Webster is forward for this.
:35:41. > :35:46.Headed towards Webster and in. Webster gets his third goal of the
:35:47. > :35:54.season. A really important one for Gary Johnson Andoville. Former
:35:55. > :36:10.Doncaster Rovers player. In the right place, at the right time.
:36:11. > :36:18.He goes to red card for the South African international. Picked up a
:36:19. > :36:19.yellow card in the first half. He is not getting away with that second
:36:20. > :36:32.one. Oh, he scored! Goalkeeper caught out
:36:33. > :36:37.at his near-post. Mark Duffy may well have given Doncaster a precious
:36:38. > :36:45.full house for three points in this battle at the wrong end of the
:36:46. > :36:48.Championship. Both teams needed to win it, Doncaster won it. Our
:36:49. > :36:54.feelings are we are very disappointed. When it's 1-1 you go
:36:55. > :36:58.down to 10-men you fear the worse. I have to give the players credit,
:36:59. > :37:02.individual and as a group the tendency is to sit back and protect
:37:03. > :37:06.the point. The way we have the players thinking, playing and
:37:07. > :37:10.believing to win games and competing at this level they went on to win
:37:11. > :37:20.the game. Massive credit for to them. Win for Doncaster in their
:37:21. > :37:25.relegation battle against Yeovil. A shocker for Almunia. We wonder if he
:37:26. > :37:29.really was ill or was he perhaps protecting his player? Well the
:37:30. > :37:33.cynics amongst us will question whether or not he was. He looked it,
:37:34. > :37:37.considering the way he took that and the way he fell on the ball and fell
:37:38. > :37:41.over the ball, should I say. It didn't look as if his reactions were
:37:42. > :37:44.top-notch. I will go with the manager for this one. Absolutely. No
:37:45. > :38:03.cynics in this studio or in the country, or in the football
:38:04. > :38:10.community at all. How will he do this? He has never managed before.
:38:11. > :38:16.He worked under Mourinho. You can gn from a number two and number one and
:38:17. > :38:21.be successful. That is not to say he can't. I have nothing to go on. He
:38:22. > :38:24.would consider himself fortunate to be at a good football with an
:38:25. > :38:28.excellent Chairman. If you want a chance at your first job, you
:38:29. > :38:33.couldn't go to many better places. Good idea to work with Mourinho if
:38:34. > :38:38.you want to work in management. Dave Jones under pressure, booed again
:38:39. > :38:41.today? For an hour they were really, really poor. The best way to
:38:42. > :38:45.describe them was lacklustre. Sometimes you get two sides that are
:38:46. > :38:51.set up differently, one system dominates the other. That was
:38:52. > :38:55.certainly the case in this one. Not just the defeat, but the manner in
:38:56. > :39:01.which they played for the majority of the game will concern them. Our
:39:02. > :39:04.last look at the Championship now and as Movember nears its
:39:05. > :39:06.conclusion, players across the land were making their own fantashtic
:39:07. > :39:08.contributions to good causes and none more so than the players at
:39:09. > :39:20.Millwall. Clem takes up the story as It's the month when footballers do
:39:21. > :39:26.their bit for the serious issue of the fight against male cancers by
:39:27. > :39:34.growing ever more ridiculous facialfuzz. I don't know what all
:39:35. > :39:40.the fuss is about. Some of us have dodgy facial hair all year round.
:39:41. > :39:50.Two weeks in. Let us go through this. It might be ginger, it's
:39:51. > :39:57.better than Lee thinks it is. Yeah. Mine is a proper effort. Good job
:39:58. > :40:02.you can score goals, you can't grow a moustache. Let us have a proper
:40:03. > :40:09.look at this. What do you think? He is going for the Bronson look. The
:40:10. > :40:15.Pringle man, I have had it shouted at me. If you stand next to him you
:40:16. > :40:20.could be twins. It's all right going tor for the bushiness, a bit of
:40:21. > :40:26.preening. It's grown out of your children - Always been clean-shaven
:40:27. > :40:33.for 31 years. I need guidance. You can't expect me to roll up after 23
:40:34. > :40:38.days and know what I'm doing. Cancel the game we will do moustache
:40:39. > :40:43.preening this afternoon. Well done. Season Millwall have already given
:40:44. > :40:47.away their shirt sponsorship to the Football League's own official
:40:48. > :40:52.charity. To promote the partnership have made these their hero in wait
:40:53. > :40:59.day. Their desire to bang the drum by men's health underlined by what
:41:00. > :41:03.happened to their all-time leading goalscorer, Neil Harris, who needed
:41:04. > :41:07.treatment and surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. At
:41:08. > :41:12.the time I was scoring goals with we had just won the league. You have a
:41:13. > :41:17.feeling you are invincible about it. All of a sudden you become Hume
:41:18. > :41:25.again. It was... It almost feels like the end of the world. Being
:41:26. > :41:29.told that -- human. I wonder will I live, will I play football again - I
:41:30. > :41:33.don't know? It's tough. You have dark days. When you have those days
:41:34. > :41:38.you realise how much support, how much love you have. I have plenty of
:41:39. > :41:42.that from this place. The clear message issing, get to see your
:41:43. > :41:46.doctor as soon as possible. We sit in the pub and talk about football
:41:47. > :41:51.and we talk about the golf and the cricket and the beers and whatever
:41:52. > :41:54.else. We don't sit there and talk about your health. Lumps, things
:41:55. > :42:03.like that. Women do. They are brought up doing that. We don't. Let
:42:04. > :42:08.me check. No. I did it last year. It wasn't a great thing. The colour
:42:09. > :42:13.aspect as well? I will leave that to Sean. He is the only one to keep the
:42:14. > :42:18.ginger going. We have put the same team out twice all season. It's
:42:19. > :42:21.getting the continuity. That is what the Championship is about. You have
:42:22. > :42:26.to have a squad. We have a good squad. We have to kick on and be
:42:27. > :42:31.more consistent. The boys have it in them. It's getting the consistency
:42:32. > :42:34.week-by-week. You know what the Championship is like, if you don't
:42:35. > :42:36.turn up on a Saturday, it's seldom you will get a win if you play
:42:37. > :42:45.badly. Complee places and three points
:42:46. > :42:50.separated these two strugglers at the start of play. Millwall
:42:51. > :42:55.dominated proceedings early on. Barnsley had the best chance of the
:42:56. > :43:04.first half though. Millwall stood off Paddy McCourt, prompting
:43:05. > :43:09.incriesive passing from the Tiebgs. Millar wasn't as sharp in front of
:43:10. > :43:16.goal. Scott Malone was the most relieved man at the Den, when
:43:17. > :43:21.Wiseman couldn't cop tallise on his poor backpass. Morison was trying to
:43:22. > :43:27.win back his place in the starting 11. He was prevented from making an
:43:28. > :43:35.impact from the bench. This contest was settled by one of this week's
:43:36. > :43:46.topical international footballers, Wiseman was fantastic on Tuesday,
:43:47. > :43:55.his world-class own gold in own-goal was in the 77 minute.
:43:56. > :44:02.Credit to Barnsley. They came here and gave us a tough test this
:44:03. > :44:06.afternoon. It wasn't the most prettiest of matches. Two teams
:44:07. > :44:12.desperate for three points. I'm thankful we took them today. Another
:44:13. > :44:19.three points. Not on that moustache. Love it. Cheers.
:44:20. > :44:28.Some dodgy facial here there. Have you ever had a moustache? No. I need
:44:29. > :44:33.all the help I can get! A moustache would be no help at all. I'm glad
:44:34. > :44:39.you haven't gone for the Movember thing, for her sake. Used a
:44:40. > :44:44.management wall. They get a bad press. Sometimes rightly so. But
:44:45. > :44:52.they do a huge amount of work in the community. They do. I've spent three
:44:53. > :44:55.years there and I'd lost count the amount of times we were asked to do
:44:56. > :45:00.things for the community on behalf of the club. They work very hard.
:45:01. > :45:05.The link they have with the community is strong. If you look at
:45:06. > :45:09.Palace or Charlton, they have got a great relationship with the local
:45:10. > :45:15.people. And that is the sort of thing that is not news. People want
:45:16. > :45:17.to hear about the bad things, but they are a really good club in that
:45:18. > :45:23.respect. Some very good people there. League one, and Wolves'
:45:24. > :45:26.seventh win in nine matches at Notts County last Saturday lifted Kenny
:45:27. > :45:29.Jackett's side to the top of the division for the first time this
:45:30. > :45:31.season. Next up at Molineux, a side in top form, promotion chasing
:45:32. > :45:43.Brentford. Brentford had won five straight
:45:44. > :45:48.league games but the trip to Molineux was always going to test
:45:49. > :45:51.them. The breathless could have punished them as Wolves almost found
:45:52. > :45:55.a way through. And the top scorer was at it again in the second half.
:45:56. > :46:01.Brentford's defending left something to be desired. Griffiths took
:46:02. > :46:04.advantage. Kenny Jackett's side boast the best defensive record in
:46:05. > :46:10.the division. But there were some worrying moments. Fortunately, the
:46:11. > :46:18.keeper was on inspired form. A clean sheet is a good thing. Our goals
:46:19. > :46:21.against column is excellent. It is really improving. When we have that
:46:22. > :46:28.much of the ball, we want to do more. I think it was a fair point.
:46:29. > :46:32.Both teams started excellent. I think the tempo was too much in the
:46:33. > :46:41.first 15 minutes. And then we started to attack them. We had
:46:42. > :46:45.chances and so did they. The result that Molineux left Leyton Orient
:46:46. > :46:50.with an opportunity to retain their position as league leaders. Swindon
:46:51. > :46:54.had been strong at home. Midway through the first half, the regulars
:46:55. > :47:00.were on their feet. The crowd had barely retaken their seats and
:47:01. > :47:04.Leyton Orient were level. Just eight seconds after the restart. A
:47:05. > :47:09.top-class finish gave David Mooney has 14th of the season. That was
:47:10. > :47:12.their 20th away league goal of the campaign and the division's most
:47:13. > :47:21.prolific side were in front before the break. Dean Cox with the
:47:22. > :47:27.delivery and Moses Odubajo applied the finish. The side rose to the
:47:28. > :47:34.challenge of responding to last week's defeat. The bio left three
:47:35. > :47:38.defenders in his wake. Though his shot needed a contribution from the
:47:39. > :47:43.defender, Darren Wall. There were dreadful scenes during the second
:47:44. > :47:48.half as the referee went to caution a player, a supporter can be seen
:47:49. > :47:53.lashing out at the keeper. The intruder was overpowered by ground
:47:54. > :47:58.staff and Wiltshire police later arrested a 26-year-old man of
:47:59. > :48:02.suspicion -- on suspicion of pitch invasion. Swindon apologised and
:48:03. > :48:05.said they would act against the culprits. The Robins finished with
:48:06. > :48:11.ten men. McEveley had already been cautioned. Orient were back on top
:48:12. > :48:15.but the contest was overshadowed by a hooligan. I've not seen a scene
:48:16. > :48:21.like that while I have been a manager. He should not be at a
:48:22. > :48:27.football match. He should be banned for life. Is Jamie OK? He is,
:48:28. > :48:33.because he's not used to that. Having to avoid punches... An
:48:34. > :48:38.aggressor coming and trying to knock him out?
:48:39. > :48:38.When does a blip become a slump. Peter
:48:39. > :48:48.him out? When does a blip become a Boro had
:48:49. > :48:53.lost three successive league games. His first league goal since March
:48:54. > :48:56.was well worth waiting for. Peter Boro made chances but even when they
:48:57. > :49:02.found a way past the goalkeeper, they were left frustrated. Tommy
:49:03. > :49:10.Bowe had great technique but the woodwork was in the way. Stevenage
:49:11. > :49:17.finished one man light. Jimmy Smith was sent off for a second yellow
:49:18. > :49:27.card. Even so, they held on. Four straight losses for Peter Boro. --
:49:28. > :49:32.Peter Boro. It was a strong performance, a good start to the
:49:33. > :49:38.game. 25 strong minutes. Deservedly, we went in front, but in the second
:49:39. > :49:41.half, it was activated. But they work rate, the organisation, the
:49:42. > :49:47.care and commitment were at the level I would expect to see. A
:49:48. > :49:52.daunting prospect for Colchester, who had not won since the opening
:49:53. > :49:59.day. Those fears were confirmed by a Preston side that bombarded them
:50:00. > :50:03.from the offer. Joe Gardner's fifth in four games must have left them
:50:04. > :50:10.dreading what was to come. Colchester's keeper had brought his
:50:11. > :50:15.a game. But not for the first time, Sam Walker kept his side in the
:50:16. > :50:20.contest. In truth, Colchester's unbeaten run against their opponents
:50:21. > :50:24.seemed destined to end. But with 14 minutes left, they managed a shot on
:50:25. > :50:34.goal. Gal Burt found at the bottom corner, leaving Preston crushed. --
:50:35. > :50:40.Galvert. Bradford City survived and nervous
:50:41. > :50:49.day at MK Dons. Shaun Wane is was unfortunate not to score. Instead,
:50:50. > :50:56.Garry Thompson's cross was turned in by Wells. The player is enjoying an
:50:57. > :51:01.outstanding season. But Darren Potter's perfectly weighted through
:51:02. > :51:08.ball set Patrick Bamford off, and the lonely lowered the scores. --
:51:09. > :51:13.loanee. A memorable week for the club's leading goal-scorer. When
:51:14. > :51:17.Parkinson took over Bradford, Kyel Reid was his first acquisition. They
:51:18. > :51:25.put them back in front. This run went unchecked. The keeper was
:51:26. > :51:29.caught out. Radford were on course for their first victory since
:51:30. > :51:37.October the 1st. The contest was far from finished. An opportunity for
:51:38. > :51:42.Williams to maintain his excellent record. He had not missed a penalty
:51:43. > :51:51.in two years. Three goals in as many games. Ensuring a filling --
:51:52. > :51:59.fulfilling tonality. -- finale. James Meredith's shot was steered
:52:00. > :52:07.home by Jason Kennedy. Settling the contest once and for all.
:52:08. > :52:10.Wins over Bradford and Hartlepool followed by last week's success at
:52:11. > :52:23.Stevenage provided Rotherham with momentum. Given a guard was on the
:52:24. > :52:28.ape whisper away. -- Keiran Agard. , Townsend two down Matt Tubbs. That
:52:29. > :52:33.was just three minutes after the loanee had been cautioned.
:52:34. > :52:39.Kavanagh's side was down out of the second half. Rotherham were unable
:52:40. > :52:43.to make the advantage count. Somehow, this effort was tapped out.
:52:44. > :52:45.-- kept out. Somehow, this effort was tapped out.
:52:46. > :52:47.-- kept A hard earned point for Carlisle.
:52:48. > :52:53.The standout result was Peterborough losing again, this time to
:52:54. > :52:58.Stevenage. Their fourth defeat in a row. What is going on? The thing
:52:59. > :53:01.that will concern them is that they have not scored. Normally, you
:53:02. > :53:07.associate goals with Peterborough. It will be disappointing. What a
:53:08. > :53:12.wonderful finish. The keeper does as much as you would expect from him.
:53:13. > :53:15.What a fantastic finish. And they have not been in great form,
:53:16. > :53:21.Stevenage. It has been a struggle this season. But that sort of skill,
:53:22. > :53:25.going to a place like that and getting a result, that could turn
:53:26. > :53:29.their season around. Peterborough are going to Brentford on Tuesday,
:53:30. > :53:33.which could be a cracker. There is a bit of depth and distance between
:53:34. > :53:41.them and the top two. I want to make sure that it is not eight or nine
:53:42. > :53:46.points. Not the ideal game. Unless they win, in which case it will be!
:53:47. > :53:51.Leyton Orient, a fantastic away win. But the incident in that match was
:53:52. > :53:56.not football related. Extraordinary. And the keeper did a credibly well
:53:57. > :54:02.not to react. If you look at it, needles into the
:54:03. > :54:05.goal and gets his drink bottle out. That means his hands are already
:54:06. > :54:11.raised, so he is able to cushion the punch coming his way. We do not need
:54:12. > :54:15.that, idiots like that have no place in football and no place in football
:54:16. > :54:20.grounds. Hopefully we will not be seeing him again. But it makes you
:54:21. > :54:23.were a. It did not happen today but something like that could be more
:54:24. > :54:29.serious, if someone comes on with some sort of weapon, other than a
:54:30. > :54:34.clenched fist. It is a worry. Stewards have to be aware of it. But
:54:35. > :54:37.it is something that we do not want to see again. The chairman has
:54:38. > :54:41.apologised to the keeper and everybody at Leyton Orient, and
:54:42. > :54:46.Wiltshire police have released a statement saying that a 16-year-old
:54:47. > :54:53.is in custody. We wait to see what will happen with that. More from
:54:54. > :55:04.league one, and drew's third defeat in four matches. -- Crewe. They
:55:05. > :55:08.could really have done with a win today at home to Port Vale.
:55:09. > :55:19.A derby in front of 7000. What's to entertain, not least George Evans.
:55:20. > :55:25.He did not have to wait long for his first shot on goal. How is this for
:55:26. > :55:32.a way to get off the mark for the England youth player on loan from
:55:33. > :55:37.Manchester City? Port Vale were levelled before half-time although
:55:38. > :55:48.Neil Everage played a big part. Rob Taylor's shot beat him. His 100th
:55:49. > :55:58.league start. Murray Williams lost his place last month but since an FA
:55:59. > :56:02.Cup goal, he cannot stop scoring. High on confidence after a win over
:56:03. > :56:05.Peterborough, Walsall were hoping to pick up where they left off. In
:56:06. > :56:10.truth, this display did not reach the same standards although Craig
:56:11. > :56:13.West car was unfortunate not to have broken the deadlock. When the same
:56:14. > :56:19.player found himself in the right place late on, he could not find his
:56:20. > :56:27.way past. The keeper denied him and Henning is in quick succession. --
:56:28. > :56:32.Hennings. Tranmere Rovers were unbeaten in
:56:33. > :56:36.their last four away games in all competitions. Their opponents have
:56:37. > :56:40.lost only once. That impressive record was in serious doubt from the
:56:41. > :56:44.moment that Ryan Lowe gave the visitors an early advantage. And a
:56:45. > :56:49.mistake in the home defence prevented them -- presented them
:56:50. > :56:56.with an opportunity to strengthen their grip. Jake Kirby claimed his
:56:57. > :57:00.first goal in Tranmere colours. And they were three up before the
:57:01. > :57:05.interval. Ryan Lowe had the beating of Joe Murphy. His second of the
:57:06. > :57:11.game. The 35-year-old was enjoying a profitable afternoon. It got even
:57:12. > :57:16.better after the restart as he approached his hat-trick. Coventry
:57:17. > :57:19.could not contain the threat. The player whose contract was cancelled
:57:20. > :57:24.at MK Dons in the summer is enjoying a new lease of life. The referee
:57:25. > :57:28.awarded the Sky Blues a penalty. Holmes attempted to win the ball
:57:29. > :57:32.back, and only succeeded in handling. And this kick just
:57:33. > :57:39.squeezed home, despite the best efforts of the keeper. Rovers lost
:57:40. > :57:45.the services of ash Taylor, sent off after his boot caught another
:57:46. > :57:48.player. Despite the setback, they added a fifth. James Wallace
:57:49. > :57:56.celebrated his return to the first team after a long-standing knee
:57:57. > :58:01.injury, with a fine goal. The side are now out of the bottom four. I
:58:02. > :58:04.think we deserved it. We had a good game plan. Some really good
:58:05. > :58:09.football. Some of the goals we scored were fantastic. Ryan Lowe,
:58:10. > :58:13.his hat-trick, that chip was sensational. Why have been saying
:58:14. > :58:19.for a time that we are only 16 games out of the season and there is still
:58:20. > :58:28.a lot of work to be done. The one thing that the game tells us is
:58:29. > :58:36.exactly that. How about this for making a swift impact? Petrasso only
:58:37. > :58:40.completed his move on Friday, but when Clark Harris mistimed his shot,
:58:41. > :58:44.he was perfectly placed to mark his debut with a goal. It has been a
:58:45. > :58:51.week of contrasting fortunes for these clubs. Oldham one at Wolves.
:58:52. > :58:56.Cody McDonald had an opportunity but Mark Oxley could not be beaten. The
:58:57. > :59:06.Addicks were headed for their first away win since opening day. They
:59:07. > :59:14.were forced to be a man down after this altercation. Graham Turner
:59:15. > :59:21.reached 35 years as a manager this week. He has been picking teams
:59:22. > :59:29.since before all bar one of his current squad were born. When Turner
:59:30. > :59:33.speaks, players listen. Adam Rich is clearly all ears. The boss said this
:59:34. > :59:38.week he needs to make more impact and he certainly did, rounding off a
:59:39. > :59:42.terrific Shrewsbury move with his first goal since mid August and only
:59:43. > :59:48.his second of the season. The magpies could have pilfered the
:59:49. > :59:56.point late on. Jack really sure is kept out. To finish with three
:59:57. > :00:02.points, a massively important win, has been a pleasant afternoon. It
:00:03. > :00:07.was a bit hard stopping late on in and around our penalty area but we
:00:08. > :00:16.should have had the game sewn up. Two clubs meeting in the third tier
:00:17. > :00:20.for 25 years. After a forgettable first half, Marvin Elliott's claim
:00:21. > :00:24.that his strike was handled by Chris Porter fell on deaf ears, adding to
:00:25. > :00:28.Bristol's frustrations. They appeared to turn the corner in the
:00:29. > :00:33.last few weeks but in a game that lacked any real quality, Sheffield
:00:34. > :00:38.United were back with maximum points, headed by the delete gifted
:00:39. > :00:43.to them by Aden Flint -- gifted to them by Aden Flint.
:00:44. > :00:47.Coventry and Tranmere, we all saw that coming! Commentary being the
:00:48. > :00:52.high-scoring side in England and transmit only scoring six away goals
:00:53. > :00:57.before today. What happened? -- Tranmere. I have no idea. You have
:00:58. > :01:02.seen the run that Coventry are wrong, they have been one of the
:01:03. > :01:08.best sides that a lot of teams have played against and Tranmere were in
:01:09. > :01:11.the relegation zone, if Coventry had the ten point they had been
:01:12. > :01:18.deducted, they would be forth, and to get that kind of result... That
:01:19. > :01:23.is an incredible result and obviously the feature of the game
:01:24. > :01:27.was a magnificent hat-trick, and the best of all of the goals were that
:01:28. > :01:32.fantastic lob at the end which the cameraman probably didn't give
:01:33. > :01:40.justice to! Speak quite a lot of people were unhappy on Twitter
:01:41. > :01:48.because they had Coventry down as a home banker. Crew are in freefall,
:01:49. > :01:58.slipping from 16th ten to 23rd. -- Crewe. They wiggle -- will be
:01:59. > :02:01.concerned. They haven't been massive spenders and they have to work with
:02:02. > :02:05.what they have got. They have got some good youngsters but sometimes
:02:06. > :02:09.you need a bit of experience and Naz and maybe the opportunity to go and
:02:10. > :02:16.not be silly, but just spend some money to reinforce the weaker areas
:02:17. > :02:22.of your side. And the end of Bristol city's unbeaten run, do you see them
:02:23. > :02:28.recovering quickly? It is a big club and things haven't gone to plan and
:02:29. > :02:33.the manager has gone there. That is an understatement! Two sides who
:02:34. > :02:36.would not have been looking at the situations they are written at the
:02:37. > :02:39.start of the season, but primarily they want to stay out of the
:02:40. > :02:45.relegation zone before anything else and that is the brief for the
:02:46. > :02:52.future. To League to know and Oxford United returned to the top of their
:02:53. > :02:55.division -- League 2 now. Up next Chris Wilder's side, another club in
:02:56. > :03:06.the promotion frame, Morecambe. You had to feel for the Morecambe
:03:07. > :03:13.goalkeeper Barry Roach. Pure instinct kept out the Michael rains
:03:14. > :03:18.had only for James Constable to take the scraps -- Michael rains. Rhyne
:03:19. > :03:24.Williams picked out Sean Rigg for his first league goal at the
:03:25. > :03:31.stadium. And when Andy Parrish was profligate in possession, Oxford
:03:32. > :03:39.were set fair for number three. Williams chipping in a goal after
:03:40. > :03:42.his earlier assist. We asked for a good, positive performance and a few
:03:43. > :03:45.goals, which we got and most importantly a clean sheet in the
:03:46. > :03:51.second half, which we got, so we are delighted.
:03:52. > :03:58.Before kick-off, a minute's silence as the stadium paid tribute to the
:03:59. > :04:03.four victims of a Derbyshire house fire. To keep pace with Oxford at
:04:04. > :04:06.the top, Chesterfield needed a fourth successive win and were on
:04:07. > :04:10.their way when the cross of Jay O'Shea was met by Ollie Banks. The
:04:11. > :04:17.20-year-old is popping up with some useful goals. Wycombe have acquitted
:04:18. > :04:20.themselves well on the road this season but Armand Gnanduillet
:04:21. > :04:25.wrapped up the victory on the stroke of half-time.
:04:26. > :04:29.It is disappointing, but Chesterfield are strong and I think
:04:30. > :04:33.they will be up there at the end. But I still think this division is
:04:34. > :04:36.wide open and anyone can beat anyone. With the top to both
:04:37. > :04:43.winning, Rochdale needed to do the same.
:04:44. > :04:47.Michael Rose gave them the edge before the break. But Exeter hit
:04:48. > :04:52.back, John O'Flynn's pull-back was where Alan Gow wanted it. His fourth
:04:53. > :04:56.of the season put the game back in the balance. No need to panic the
:04:57. > :05:02.Keith Hill, though, especially having seen his side win five of
:05:03. > :05:05.their previous six on their own patch. Graham Cummins flipped them
:05:06. > :05:08.back in front just after the hour. This time there would be no response
:05:09. > :05:17.and instead, just further punishment. Another 3-goal haul, a
:05:18. > :05:18.beauty from Andrew Tutte sentencing their opponents to a fourth straight
:05:19. > :05:30.league defeat. Nine goals, two penalties and a host
:05:31. > :05:34.of hard stopping mistakes helped make this the weekend's craziest and
:05:35. > :05:38.tone was set inside the opening 20 seconds. Anthony Howell has a
:05:39. > :05:43.nightmare, having already given the ball away, he then trips over Nathan
:05:44. > :05:48.Tyson and impedes his own goalkeeper. Gareth Evans was the man
:05:49. > :05:53.to benefit. But Mansfield, without a win in three, turned it around.
:05:54. > :05:59.Chris Clements fired in a free kick as two goals in four minutes turned
:06:00. > :06:08.the game on its head. Cresswell's miskick letting Anthony Howell, who
:06:09. > :06:12.put Mansfield ahead with less than quarter of an hour played. But this
:06:13. > :06:22.is not a game where the lead lasted. Town equalised from the
:06:23. > :06:38.penalty spot after Sarcevic was tripped. Then he restored the lead
:06:39. > :06:40.just after the hour mark. It came seconds after Mansfield had hit the
:06:41. > :06:43.woodwork at the other end. Two minutes later, the Stags looked dead
:06:44. > :06:45.and buried at 4-2. The Evans shot was simply too powerful for the
:06:46. > :06:54.goalkeeper to deal with. But back came Mansfield. Clucas pulled one
:06:55. > :06:59.back with 13 minutes to go. And in the 89th minute, Mansfield levelled
:07:00. > :07:05.at four -4. Ross Dyer bundled at home after a shot from Clucas had
:07:06. > :07:08.been blocked. Last week, a late goal condemned Fleetwood to defeat at
:07:09. > :07:20.Northampton but it didn't cost them here. In injury time, Matty Blair
:07:21. > :07:26.claimed another penalty. Sarcevic claimed his hat-trick and earned
:07:27. > :07:32.Fleetwood the three points. I had to calm down after the game. To win 5-4
:07:33. > :07:36.in the last minute was fantastic. We know we could have done better
:07:37. > :07:42.defensively but the lads vote will was fantastic to come back three
:07:43. > :07:53.times and win the game. -- the lads' . Confidence could hardly have
:07:54. > :07:57.been higher ahead of York's visit. Kevan Hurst's strike three minutes
:07:58. > :08:01.and delighted the biggest crowd of the season. Sharing the joy and the
:08:02. > :08:05.striker a booking and United failed to build on the lead. 11 minutes
:08:06. > :08:09.into the second half, the home side made a meal of clearing their lines
:08:10. > :08:14.and Jorg pounced. Wes Fletcher was foiled but the keeper could do
:08:15. > :08:19.nothing to stop Ryan Bowman. While they were still die jesting that,
:08:20. > :08:27.more strike for Phil Brown's meant as first appeared to pull Ben Davis.
:08:28. > :08:33.Suddenly the cheap yellow card took on extra significance -- Kevan Hurst
:08:34. > :08:40.appeared to pull Ben Davis. Strangely, this same fate befell
:08:41. > :08:44.York's scorer, although it was more dramatic. His latest challenge had
:08:45. > :08:48.the referee reaching straight for the red card. With the numbers level
:08:49. > :08:52.again for the final five minutes, Southend found an extra edge. Luke
:08:53. > :08:57.Prosser nodded a winner which has put the top three in striking
:08:58. > :09:01.distance of the team in form. For five or ten minutes after the red
:09:02. > :09:06.card, we started playing, which is ironic and ridiculous. We try to
:09:07. > :09:13.play all game and a red card spurs them into it.
:09:14. > :09:17.Goals here should have been given. Cheltenham had League 2's Leakey is
:09:18. > :09:31.to defence. Conor Washington hitting the post. But the backline was in a
:09:32. > :09:36.non-shall pass mood. Tom Naylor thought he had won the game, and
:09:37. > :09:42.would have but for the defender lurking on the line.
:09:43. > :09:53.Limit, the division's lowest scorers, were hoping the Goldblatt
:09:54. > :09:56.against Lincoln in midweek would herald more scoring. Dagenham
:09:57. > :10:01.usually score and had in 11 games before this and were level within a
:10:02. > :10:06.minute. Saffron Heinz capitalised. But Plymouth won it with this
:10:07. > :10:15.glorious free kick -- Zavon Hines. Luke Young's accuracy capping a good
:10:16. > :10:21.week for the green army. Berry are living up to their
:10:22. > :10:27.nickname, especially on their own turf -- Bury. George Porter was let
:10:28. > :10:32.in, but the imposing figure of Brian Jensen spared him embarrassment. Ten
:10:33. > :10:40.minutes before the break, Danny Hylton left them optimistic going
:10:41. > :10:46.into the second half. But Wimbledon made the game all squared is that
:10:47. > :10:50.the hour. Luke Moore with his first goal since early August, ensuring
:10:51. > :10:55.his side stay in touch with the pack.
:10:56. > :10:59.Unlike last season, Burton's home form has been letting them down this
:11:00. > :11:04.year. They were determined to change that against Bristol Rovers. Chris
:11:05. > :11:08.Hussey had an early chance. Rovers were holding their own until
:11:09. > :11:12.disaster struck for Chris Beardsley. Having extended his loan
:11:13. > :11:18.on Friday, he got himself sent off less than 24 hours later, having
:11:19. > :11:23.gone in on Robbie Weir with two feet. The red card was a formality.
:11:24. > :11:32.The Brewers made the most of an extra man. But Burton soon ended the
:11:33. > :11:41.Pirates' resistance. Shortly after the hour mark, Robbie Weir exacted
:11:42. > :11:46.revenge, his 25 yarder was good enough for all three points. The
:11:47. > :11:51.game ended on a sour note, with two more red cards in injury time. Jimmy
:11:52. > :11:56.Phillips's challenger Michael Smith earned him a second yellow. The
:11:57. > :11:59.midfielder needlessly becoming the fifth sending-off of the season. And
:12:00. > :12:06.there was still time for Rovers to be reduced to nine men. A cameraman
:12:07. > :12:10.skulduggery from John-Joe O'Toole but unfortunately for him, the
:12:11. > :12:15.referee didn't. -- a cameraman missed.
:12:16. > :12:19.The Scunthorpe decision to sack their manager seemed bold with the
:12:20. > :12:22.club just outside the play-off spots and they fell behind at lowly
:12:23. > :12:28.Portsmouth, Tom Craddock scoring his first for the club. But Pompey's
:12:29. > :12:31.problems mainly at the other end. Dave Syers scoring the 10th goal
:12:32. > :12:36.they have conceded in four games. The hosts had their moments. Ricky
:12:37. > :12:41.Holmes was only inches from putting his own name on the scoresheet. That
:12:42. > :12:46.frustration for the Fratton Park fans would become a recurring theme.
:12:47. > :12:57.Arguably the best chance of all was raised, the goalkeeper thwarting the
:12:58. > :13:01.home side. Craddock was the width of a post from lifting the mood, but
:13:02. > :13:11.once again, there was jeering at the final whistle after Sam Wood all --
:13:12. > :13:14.Sam Winnall found a huge gap in the defence and gave Russ Wilcox a
:13:15. > :13:23.winning start, leaving Portsmouth to the closer to the bottom to grid
:13:24. > :13:27.two. Northampton's away record made for
:13:28. > :13:36.grim reading even before the trip to Victoria Park, losing seven of the
:13:37. > :13:40.last previous away games. October's League 2 player of the monthly
:13:41. > :13:44.changes having some season. His control was one thing, the finish
:13:45. > :13:49.quite another. Double figures for the player who has come through the
:13:50. > :13:53.Hartlepool ranks. He went close again and is fast becoming the
:13:54. > :14:00.Hartlepool poster boy. Bashing the bar before half-time. James Poole
:14:01. > :14:05.held the key to wrapping this game up. His direct running was too much
:14:06. > :14:15.for Paul Reedy. Few penalty calls are quite so clear cut.
:14:16. > :14:24.Five home wins in six for Hartlepool.
:14:25. > :14:32.Torquay have never one at Accrington. Their hopes of breaking
:14:33. > :14:36.that duck appeared more like when McCallum gave them the lead.
:14:37. > :14:42.Accrington are unbeaten in six league games before this. Murphy's
:14:43. > :14:46.good work was finished by Naismith, that was his second of the season.
:14:47. > :14:51.His third would complete the turn around. Nicky Hunt with the
:14:52. > :14:57.delivery. Naismith found the corner of the goal to keep Stanley moving
:14:58. > :15:02.in the right direction. Another good result for Accrington Stanley. They
:15:03. > :15:06.are seven unbeaten after a shocking start to the season. Can you see
:15:07. > :15:10.them keeping their heads above water now? Yeah. No doubt about that. Look
:15:11. > :15:15.at their recent form. They have done really well. Eight defeats between
:15:16. > :15:20.August and September. A rookie, shall we say, novice manager, they
:15:21. > :15:23.might have panicked and got rid of him, they didn't, they stuck with
:15:24. > :15:27.him. He has learnt what is required. He turned that around magnificently.
:15:28. > :15:31.Good luck to him. Things could have been very different. They have been
:15:32. > :15:34.brave, stuck with him, all of a sudden he has turned around and
:15:35. > :15:40.repaid their faith. I'm really pleased about that. Pompey, four
:15:41. > :15:44.defeats in a row for them, a couple in the Cup. Three away from home. Do
:15:45. > :15:49.you fear for them? You make a point away from home, they lost six at
:15:50. > :15:55.home. I don't fear for them. I just think that... You know, scratching
:15:56. > :15:59.your head thinking - how can they be under achieving like they are? They
:16:00. > :16:04.have good players with good experience who have played at a high
:16:05. > :16:08.level. Some people go, 15, 16,000 expectation, it is nothing of the
:16:09. > :16:12.sort. I have been to plenty of games this year at that football the crowd
:16:13. > :16:16.are unbelievable behind them. They have been so passionate and patient
:16:17. > :16:21.with them. Today was the first time where you have... There were a few
:16:22. > :16:24.boos, rightly so, the performance today wasn't great. Things have to
:16:25. > :16:28.change. Just a spark, something is missing at that football club when
:16:29. > :16:33.you look at the players they have got. Disappointment all round,
:16:34. > :16:40.particularly this week. Now, a look at the league tables:
:16:41. > :16:45.There was no change in the top three positions of the Sky Bet
:16:46. > :16:49.Championship, but leaders Burnley's, draw plus wins for QPR and
:16:50. > :16:52.Leicester, mean that there are now three teams level on 35 points at
:16:53. > :16:55.the top. Leeds' third consecutive win moved them into the play-off
:16:56. > :16:57.positions for the first time since mid-September, while Brighton
:16:58. > :17:01.extended their unbeaten league run to five games and move up to ninth,
:17:02. > :17:04.their highest position of the season. Defeats for the bottom three
:17:05. > :17:07.means there's no change at the foot of the table with Yeovil now five
:17:08. > :17:11.points from safety. Steve Lomas' Millwall were the big movers of the
:17:12. > :17:15.day in the bottom half, jumping up three places to 17th as they ended a
:17:16. > :17:17.six-match winless run with victory over relegation rivals Barnsley.
:17:18. > :17:21.Bolton's revival continued as they moved up to 15th after winning three
:17:22. > :17:24.in a row for the first time since April. Leyton Orient's win at
:17:25. > :17:28.Swindon meant they returned to the top of League One at Wolves'
:17:29. > :17:30.expense. But the top two further cemented their automatic promotion
:17:31. > :17:37.spots as third placed Peterborough crashed to a fourth successive
:17:38. > :17:39.defeat. At the bottom, Tranmere's emphatic shock win at free-scoring
:17:40. > :17:43.Coventry moved them out of the relegation zone and up to 19th.
:17:44. > :17:46.Sheffield United remain in the bottom four, but still move up two
:17:47. > :17:58.places after their first away win since March. In League Two there was
:17:59. > :18:00.no change in the top six with Oxford, Chesterfield, Rochdale,
:18:01. > :18:04.Fleetwood and Southend all winning. Burton climbed four places into the
:18:05. > :18:07.last play-off spot after their home win against struggling Bristol
:18:08. > :18:10.Rovers. At the other end of the table, Accrington's resurgence
:18:11. > :18:13.continued as they move up to 20th and extend their unbeaten run to
:18:14. > :18:16.seven games. Plymouth were the other big movers, jumping up four places
:18:17. > :18:21.to 14th after an impressive win over play-off
:18:22. > :18:27.That's all from us, but a reminder for all you petrol-heads out there,
:18:28. > :18:30.you can join Suzi Perry for live coverage of the final race of the
:18:31. > :18:34.Formula One season in Brazil on BBC One at 3.00pm on Sunday. Later in
