:00:41. > :00:42.Hello there, it's still early days in the Skybet Football League
:00:43. > :00:45.but nothing like a fast start to launch a successful campaign.
:00:46. > :00:51.Talking of campaigns, after months of protests, this week finally saw
:00:52. > :00:53.Sky Blues fans celebrating the fact they're being sent back to
:00:54. > :00:56.Coventry and a long overdue return to the Ricoh next month.
:00:57. > :00:58.Well, Steve's here to discuss that amongst other things.
:00:59. > :01:02.Three defeats in their first three matches back in the Championship,
:01:03. > :01:05.it's been a nightmare start for Felix Magath and Fulham.
:01:06. > :01:08.we'll find out whether they could get that finally
:01:09. > :01:12.winning feeling against Derby County in our featured match.
:01:13. > :01:15.After a three year absence the East Anglian derby is back with a bang.
:01:16. > :01:19.We've the best of the action from a packed Portman Road as Ipswich
:01:20. > :01:28.So far so good for Stuart Pearce at Nottingham Forest.
:01:29. > :01:41.We've extended highlights of their match against Reading.
:01:42. > :01:49.And Fleetwood town are the early pacesetters in the race to get into
:01:50. > :01:50.the championships. We are at Highbury Stadium for the visit of
:01:51. > :01:56.Chesterfield. Well first, to the Ipro for the
:01:57. > :01:58.contest involving pre-season favourites Derby and newly relegated
:01:59. > :02:02.Fulham. Rams boss Steve McClaren was looking for a reaction after his
:02:03. > :02:05.side's surprise 3-2 defeat at Charlton on Tuesday night. Fulham's
:02:06. > :02:08.loss to Wolves on the same evening, meant they've played 3, lost 3.
:02:09. > :02:23.Commentary from John Roder. It is surely too early to talk about
:02:24. > :02:38.a crisis at Fulham. Derby face a big week. This is the first of three
:02:39. > :02:46.home fixtures for the Rams. Jamie Ward scored twice in midweek. This
:02:47. > :02:55.is the only change to the full team. Patrick Roberts keeps his
:02:56. > :03:20.place. Seven of this line-up are 21 or under.
:03:21. > :03:28.There was a little bit of room on that far side. Petr Prevc early
:03:29. > :03:32.opportunity for Derby. Good build-up down the near side. Look at the
:03:33. > :03:51.amount of room Johnny Russell has. A delicate ball in and a lovely
:03:52. > :03:59.goal. Jamie Ward. Two goals in midweek and he has scored the opener
:04:00. > :04:04.this afternoon. Christie with a little past two Russell. A delicate
:04:05. > :04:39.ball into the penalty area from Russell. And Ward stealing it.
:04:40. > :04:46.MacCormack spotted that Grant was off his line. And Grant had to get
:04:47. > :04:52.that when at full stretch. Fulham's best chance of the first half coming
:04:53. > :04:58.here. He had to back pedal to keep that one at bay. I am sure he will
:04:59. > :05:10.be satisfied with the start his side have made to this match.
:05:11. > :05:16.A free kick given away by Eustace. It was in a promising position for
:05:17. > :05:29.Fulham. MacCormack is a left footed player.
:05:30. > :05:34.And it is him straight into the wall. Plenty of Fulham shirt is
:05:35. > :05:44.forward and they have got an equaliser. Scott Parker. Lee Grant
:05:45. > :05:49.was beaten. The 1200 or so Fulham fans who have made the journey up
:05:50. > :05:59.from the capital are celebrating widely. The low shot that beats
:06:00. > :06:23.Grant and brings the scores level. Martin, how did he miss that? Having
:06:24. > :06:28.just conceded a goal Derby County almost immediately go up the other
:06:29. > :06:30.end and nearly restored their lead. The change perhaps is afoot for the
:06:31. > :06:48.visitors. A chance of a shot from distance and
:06:49. > :06:54.MacCormack takes that opportunity, but Grant was able to see it all the
:06:55. > :07:11.way. Doesn't that ball move in the air? A lovely ball into the middle
:07:12. > :07:16.and Derby are back in front. Huge relief around the stadium. Craig
:07:17. > :07:34.Bryson making it 2-1. Meanwhile, Fulham have made the
:07:35. > :08:00.change. Chris Martin, 3-1. Two goals in as many minutes for
:08:01. > :08:10.Derby County. Martin getting away from burgess. A little touch to set
:08:11. > :08:33.himself up. And Derby are firing on all cylinders again.
:08:34. > :08:51.Into wards Martin. A patient build-up.
:08:52. > :09:03.Dawkins, so much room. Of the post and it is in by Chris Martin. Those
:09:04. > :09:11.who have just made their way through the exit have missed a fourth goal
:09:12. > :09:19.from Derby County. Will Hughes, one of the substitutes involved, setting
:09:20. > :09:25.up another Simon Dawkins and Chris Martin could not quite believe it
:09:26. > :09:32.when that ball rolled into his path. Fulham's afternoon gets worse
:09:33. > :09:51.and worse. Four successive defeats in the Championship now for Felix
:09:52. > :09:57.Magath's team. It is another! 5-1. The top scorers in the Championship
:09:58. > :10:08.last season have got five against a full team who were in the Premier
:10:09. > :10:11.League last season. A little bit tentative the first half. Fulham
:10:12. > :10:15.dominated possession and once the equaliser I thought, we have got
:10:16. > :10:21.another reaction to give and the players got stronger as the game
:10:22. > :10:25.went on. The last 20 minutes running and running and scoring goals and
:10:26. > :10:30.that was more like the Derby County that we know. You have lost three
:10:31. > :10:38.games in a row and you are one down and you come back and equalise and
:10:39. > :10:47.then you are very excited and you want to go on and you get another
:10:48. > :10:51.goal, so it was too much for that young team and we stopped playing
:10:52. > :11:00.after the second goal and we lost too much. Derby piling on the misery
:11:01. > :11:07.with a kind of cutting edge and fluency we saw so often last season.
:11:08. > :11:11.Steve McClaren referenced it. It was back to how they were at their best
:11:12. > :11:18.last year. The movement today was fantastic. The three in midfield
:11:19. > :11:21.gave them great support and the two wide players were excellent in
:11:22. > :11:30.giving service and distribution and the movement today was fantastic. A
:11:31. > :11:35.good combination from Cyrus Christie down the right-hand side. They were
:11:36. > :11:43.a threat all over the pitch. These are worrying times for Fulham. They
:11:44. > :11:48.have played four and lost four. At 1-1 they should have momentum and
:11:49. > :11:52.they fall apart. When teams work hard to get back into the game they
:11:53. > :11:57.do not carry on and they take a step back and they are conscious they
:11:58. > :12:01.want to protect what they have got. Fulham are not good enough
:12:02. > :12:07.defensively to do that. The movement from Derby was too much. You get rid
:12:08. > :12:12.of over 20 players and you have got to have players left who are good
:12:13. > :12:17.enough to step up to the mark. It is OK saying they are a young team, but
:12:18. > :12:20.that is an excuse. They are your young team and you have made a
:12:21. > :12:28.judgement call to keep those young players. It is almost like he has
:12:29. > :12:33.come in yesterday. That is the sort of thing you get. The amount of
:12:34. > :12:36.change we have seen this season I do not know whether he knows his best
:12:37. > :12:41.team and he should know that at this stage. It is too much too soon and
:12:42. > :12:48.you almost fear they could do a Wolves. On the evidence of what we
:12:49. > :12:52.have seen. I saw them on Tuesday and I saw them today and he says they
:12:53. > :12:56.are going to get promoted and it looks a long way off. It could be
:12:57. > :12:59.the other way. Things have to change quickly.
:13:00. > :13:02.Well, heading into the weekend, Nottingham Forest were top
:13:03. > :13:05.of the Championship after Tuesday's smash and grab win at Bournemouth to
:13:06. > :13:08.add to the feel-good factor that's followed Stuart Pearce's arrival.
:13:09. > :13:12.On Saturday, they took on Reading, who were stung by a home defeat to
:13:13. > :13:15.There were two changes for Forest with Hunt and Harding coming in
:13:16. > :13:21.Nigel Adkins also made two changes including a full debut for
:13:22. > :13:50.Antonio, and it is in. Make Alain Tony breaks the deadlock against his
:13:51. > :14:01.former club. Just the start Stuart Pearce was
:14:02. > :14:44.looking for. A good save. Matty Fryatt can't turn
:14:45. > :14:51.it home. The corner was driven in. It was a great leap from Antonia. It
:14:52. > :15:18.is a let off for Reading. It could so easily have been two.
:15:19. > :15:22.another one. He scored against Reading for Sheffield Wednesday last
:15:23. > :15:30.season as well, and yet again he comes back to haunt his former club.
:15:31. > :15:38.Antonio grabs his second of the day. It is a mountain to climb now
:15:39. > :15:58.for Reading. The keeper just cannot get there.
:15:59. > :16:13.Fryatt! 3-0. Matty Fryatt surely sees Nottingham Forest home. This
:16:14. > :16:23.time it is Antonio turning provider up against Guenther. Far too easy,
:16:24. > :16:39.as far as Nigel Adkins will be concerned, surely game over.
:16:40. > :16:54.Assombalonga... Nicely done. Held at bay for now. He has won a corner.
:16:55. > :17:04.Forest are looking for more. Antonio is in there, Fryatt is in there
:17:05. > :17:14.again. Assombalonga! What a scoreline we have here. That is four
:17:15. > :17:19.in three games for Assombalonga. The City Ground is jumping. Seven
:17:20. > :17:27.Reading players back there, not one of them could stop Assombalonga.
:17:28. > :17:35.Three of Stuart Pearce's summer recruits on the scoresheet. Can
:17:36. > :17:48.Reading find any kind of consolation today? An afternoon to forget so
:17:49. > :17:53.far. Forest determined to keep that clean sheet. Reading have not
:17:54. > :18:25.offered an awful lot today, but when they did, he came to the rescue.
:18:26. > :18:33.Paterson! Good save from Federici. Not properly defended, but Federici
:18:34. > :18:45.did his job. Driving rain here on the banks of the Trent.
:18:46. > :19:08.That was close! It has been an awful long time since Eric Lichaj got on
:19:09. > :19:12.the scoresheet. We have a group of players who want to put into play
:19:13. > :19:21.everything we ask of them and that is really pleasing. The goal just
:19:22. > :19:26.after half-time, again, we have got to defend that. It is a simple ball
:19:27. > :19:30.to go and defend, the third goal, and we haven't done it so that
:19:31. > :19:37.affects the scoreline in that respect. We have a young side out
:19:38. > :19:41.there, we made poor mistakes so it is a good experience for everybody.
:19:42. > :19:51.After wins over Norwich and full, Wolves were looking to win, but they
:19:52. > :19:57.were nearly behind after 13 minutes when this corner crashed off the
:19:58. > :20:03.inside of David Marshall's post. If it nearly worked once, why not try
:20:04. > :20:09.again? This time it was Wolves who nearly ended up conceding. With
:20:10. > :20:15.everyone seemingly in the Cardiff half, this player went alone and
:20:16. > :20:22.kept going. It would have been the goal of the day but the keeper did
:20:23. > :20:26.enough to force him wide. Anthony Pilkington's corner fell for
:20:27. > :20:29.Morrison, but seemingly not kindly enough. Into the second half when
:20:30. > :20:42.Kenwyne Jones replaced Maynard in the attack and they almost have
:20:43. > :20:48.their reward. Kevin McDonald tried his luck, his deflection completely
:20:49. > :20:54.wrong-footed Marshall as the game headed into stoppage time, there was
:20:55. > :20:59.no way back. Cardiff were beaten. The second half looks like it was
:21:00. > :21:02.falling away, one chance each end, before our perseverance and it shows
:21:03. > :21:07.you that if you keep putting the ball into the box you get the reward
:21:08. > :21:12.in the end. Good to see you smiling but you didn't deserve to lose that,
:21:13. > :21:19.surely? It is a good thing you said it. David Marshall never had a save
:21:20. > :21:24.to make. He had some crosses to deal with and he dealt with them well but
:21:25. > :21:30.it is an unlucky deflection. We should have cleared it.
:21:31. > :21:36.Unbeaten in the league and Cup since March, Millwall's run had to end
:21:37. > :21:42.somewhere but not many expected a home game with rather to be the
:21:43. > :21:47.tipping point. This was the best chance of the first half. Thereafter
:21:48. > :21:49.the Millers have the better goal-scoring opportunities and
:21:50. > :22:02.should have taken the lead into the interval. Revel was able to take a
:22:03. > :22:09.match-winning assist away from the game, and this was the game's only
:22:10. > :22:16.goal. Millwall saw plenty of the goal but one shot on target is a
:22:17. > :22:23.statistic that tells its own story. Rotherham were quite different
:22:24. > :22:32.proposition. Pringle was denied a second. The only took one chance
:22:33. > :22:40.today, so we need to look at that, but overall it is a great win for
:22:41. > :22:45.us. Well done to Steve and Paul and their players. They are used to
:22:46. > :22:50.winning, they had a great vibe about them. Now we have been beaten after
:22:51. > :23:03.12 games. We were not quite up to the mark today. Huddersfield Town
:23:04. > :23:07.against Charlton, and Charlton's striker has made an impressive start
:23:08. > :23:11.to his time with the team but he couldn't find his way through.
:23:12. > :23:22.Huddersfield lost the services of Wallace before the interval. When
:23:23. > :23:28.the red card was brandished, Wallace and his team-mates felt aggrieved
:23:29. > :23:32.that they didn't let it affect them. Instead they edged ahead. Matty
:23:33. > :23:36.Wells had scored a hat-trick against Chesterfield, and added to his
:23:37. > :23:41.tally. James Vaughan came off the bench and was involved in one of the
:23:42. > :23:45.main talking points of the game. Vaughan went down under this
:23:46. > :23:58.challenge, and the referee waved away the penalty appeals. The
:23:59. > :24:07.unbeaten record of Charlton was taken with this goal. We had a large
:24:08. > :24:19.sent off, I haven't looked at it yet but I believe we should have had a
:24:20. > :24:22.penalty. -- lad. I don't really like commenting on referees, but what a
:24:23. > :24:29.great performance from Huddersfield Town. Bournemouth were the last team
:24:30. > :24:36.to win at Blackburn, that was March, this was August when there was no
:24:37. > :24:41.holding Rovers. Jordan Rhodes showed why City might want to buy him.
:24:42. > :24:50.Patients, determination and nine for the goal. After 21 minutes, it was
:24:51. > :24:55.2-0. This corner met by Grant humbly with a thumping header, well
:24:56. > :25:00.finished, Bournemouth reeling. But they didn't learn, three minutes
:25:01. > :25:09.later another corner and another Blackburn goal. This shot was
:25:10. > :25:11.diverted, then this, 3-0 and comfortable. Bournemouth's
:25:12. > :25:12.second-half pressure comfortable. Bournemouth's
:25:13. > :25:27.second-half finally paid off with ten minutes remaining. Brett Pitman
:25:28. > :25:33.made it 3-1. Hopes of an unlikely comeback gathered more momentum when
:25:34. > :25:42.Bournemouth scored in the final minutes. We gave away some really
:25:43. > :25:47.poor goals today, and against good teams you cannot do that. It made it
:25:48. > :25:55.difficult for us mentally, 3-0 down but we put on a good show in the
:25:56. > :25:57.second half. Jordan Rhodes up and running with the goals and we all
:25:58. > :25:59.know what he can do but running with the goals and we all
:26:00. > :26:05.know what he can do but there are signs of real positivity emanating
:26:06. > :26:11.from Ewood Park because despite what many people thought, he is there to
:26:12. > :26:18.be sold but the statement says they are keeping hold of him. Obviously
:26:19. > :26:22.we don't know how much is bluffing and how much to get a strong
:26:23. > :26:28.position in the bargaining stakes, but I think... They have turned a
:26:29. > :26:33.corner. There seems to be an element of trust that there hasn't been.
:26:34. > :26:38.There was Sam Allardyce, Michael Appleton, it is their money and if
:26:39. > :26:42.they are going to give it to a manager there has to be some element
:26:43. > :26:46.of trust. We have a strike force that has cost over 10 million. I
:26:47. > :26:51.know a lot has been made of the people who have gone out, but there
:26:52. > :26:57.are also people who have come in that have cost money. He was bought
:26:58. > :27:01.for 7 million, he will not be on small wages so that is going to go
:27:02. > :27:06.up. Suddenly you are starting to think, they are backing the manager,
:27:07. > :27:11.they have faith in the players and it is an upward curve. Similar kind
:27:12. > :27:18.of story line at Nottingham Forest, a real sense of unity now for Stuart
:27:19. > :27:23.Pearce. Talking about exciting attacking forces, you're not going
:27:24. > :27:28.to get better than what Stuart Pearce has assembled there. He has
:27:29. > :27:34.brought new players in, can they gel? That is a misnomer to me. If
:27:35. > :27:38.you can look players in an area where they are confident and they
:27:39. > :27:45.are used to playing, why shouldn't they gel? That is exactly what they
:27:46. > :27:51.did. Antonio had a major part to play, four goals already which is
:27:52. > :27:57.great, but the two winners making such a big impact on the game. And a
:27:58. > :28:03.statement from Wolfs. Well Saturday's games got
:28:04. > :28:05.off to a cracking start as Ipswich and Norwich renewed rivalries
:28:06. > :28:07.in the East Anglian derby. Mick McCarthy's men came back twice
:28:08. > :28:10.against Birmingham to snatch a draw in the dying seconds at
:28:11. > :28:13.St Andrews, while the Canaries looked to have found
:28:14. > :28:15.their feet after back to back wins. There was one change for Ipswich
:28:16. > :28:18.with David McGoldrick starting up Neil Adams also made one change,
:28:19. > :28:22.Ryan Bennett coming in for It is Lewis Grabban from
:28:23. > :29:19.long-distance! They are off balance. A cheap corner
:29:20. > :29:20.given away here from Ipswich. Lots of big, blue bodies there for
:29:21. > :29:39.Ipswich. Grabban's header on, 1-0 Norwich.
:29:40. > :29:52.The goal is good and Norwich strike first for the 10th Derby in
:29:53. > :29:56.succession. It is four goals in four for Grabban, and this one is his
:29:57. > :30:25.biggest yet. decision to make. He was played
:30:26. > :30:31.onside. McGoldrick. A great routing, great effort, so close. Clinically
:30:32. > :30:56.done by the Tractor Boys. That was a great header and not too
:30:57. > :31:00.far wide. Darren Murphy, a great connection. That is mighty, mighty
:31:01. > :31:22.close. Lewis Grabban again, what a chance.
:31:23. > :31:25.The man who is at the moment red for Norwich has missed a golden moment
:31:26. > :31:48.to make it 2-0 for the Canaries. A third joins the party in the shape
:31:49. > :31:56.of Elliott Bennett. That is Lewis Grabban again. That was a good save.
:31:57. > :32:14.The flying Dean Gerken to the Tractor Boys' rescue. A fabulous
:32:15. > :32:22.stop. And it is off the line by Tommy Smith. That touch took him to
:32:23. > :32:28.close to Dean Gerken. That touch was a difficult one and Dean Gerken
:32:29. > :32:35.closed the angle. Smith on the line gets it away. Delighted obviously.
:32:36. > :32:40.It is a big game for us and it is three points. It is a win and we
:32:41. > :32:45.know what it means to the supporters. 2100 fans were here
:32:46. > :32:54.today and they will go home happy. They could not finish it off. We
:32:55. > :33:02.lost the plot. For ten minutes they were better, but overall we had our
:33:03. > :33:05.chances and could have scored. So far this summer break and bus Mac
:33:06. > :33:11.fans have been perturbed by the lack of new faces. Their optimism or a
:33:12. > :33:17.lack of it was not helped by an early goal from Bolton's Max Mills.
:33:18. > :33:26.But the sequels were starting to come together. This was a
:33:27. > :33:35.spectacular equaliser. -- the Seagulls. There was not much of the
:33:36. > :33:40.goalkeeper could do about this one, worse still a collision with his own
:33:41. > :33:50.team-mate. He could play no more part. Bolton survived the ensuing
:33:51. > :33:54.scramble with the goalkeeper improvising a save from Andrew
:33:55. > :34:07.Crofts. Lonergan might have done better. Short on numbers they
:34:08. > :34:12.maybe, but this was the matchwinner. His second goal in as many games
:34:13. > :34:19.insuring back-to-back wins for his club. On the ball we know we have
:34:20. > :34:28.the quality. I felt we gave as good as we got and it was a very tight
:34:29. > :34:38.game. We are frustrated. Worrying times for Leeds United whose latest
:34:39. > :34:44.setback came at Vicarage Road. This first ever stayed out, but they made
:34:45. > :34:58.the most of the second attempt. Up until then Leeds looked comfortable.
:34:59. > :35:06.Gomez was powerless to intervene. This did not go to plan. A penalty
:35:07. > :35:20.was conceded and the United debutant made an early departure. The spot
:35:21. > :35:25.kick was put away. Watford scored a second and a third and the contest
:35:26. > :35:30.was effectively over. Daniel Tozer added a fourth late on, but
:35:31. > :35:36.United's misery was not quite complete. They had a second player
:35:37. > :35:41.sent off. It was an off the ball incident. The referee consulted with
:35:42. > :35:47.his assistant and he was dismissed. Leeds finished the match with nine
:35:48. > :35:51.men. A forgettable afternoon and reports emanating from the club
:35:52. > :36:00.suggest the manager's job is under threat. We were doing a really good
:36:01. > :36:09.job and we had a double moment of madness and we end up with 2-1 down
:36:10. > :36:14.after a penalty and a man sent off. An early plays in the Championship
:36:15. > :36:18.tops expected for the winner of this one. But Boro became the architects
:36:19. > :36:24.of their own downfall after six minutes. They did not get close
:36:25. > :36:31.delivery and could not make any clearance. Boro could have hit back
:36:32. > :36:35.almost immediately if only this free kick had been a few inches lower.
:36:36. > :36:42.The home side found themselves on the back foot. Wednesday's new
:36:43. > :36:54.strikers DV may saw his shot tipped onto the post. It was 2-0 after 24
:36:55. > :37:03.minutes and that scoreline became better after the restart. 3-0 and
:37:04. > :37:11.game over. Not so fast. Boro found a way back with just under 20 minutes
:37:12. > :37:16.remaining. The Spanish striker KK was brought down. Leadbetter did the
:37:17. > :37:26.rest and there was no time for celebration. They needed all the
:37:27. > :37:35.minutes going. Back came Boro again with another penalty. Up stepped
:37:36. > :37:44.Leadbetter to keep alive his team's hopes of a dramatic comeback. But it
:37:45. > :37:50.was not to be. I thought today it looked like it was going to be a 3-0
:37:51. > :37:55.win and it was a great performance and in the last ten minutes it was
:37:56. > :38:02.very nervy. One of the penalty should not have been given. Having
:38:03. > :38:05.left Griffin Park in the summer, Clayton Donaldson was back in West
:38:06. > :38:10.London with Birmingham and he wasted little time with the reacquainting
:38:11. > :38:18.himself with a former team-mate Craig, and it was a 16th minute red
:38:19. > :38:23.card. Paul Caddis did the rest for the Blues and they could not build
:38:24. > :38:30.on the ideal start. It took a magnificent save by David button to
:38:31. > :38:38.stop them. In the second half Birmingham sat back riding barely
:38:39. > :38:43.luck. -- riding their luck. The referee said no to this penalty and
:38:44. > :38:57.the Bees were inspired by this sense of injustice and Birmingham shrank
:38:58. > :39:01.into their cell -- shell. We wanted the ball and we played the second
:39:02. > :39:06.half and it was a positive performance. They came on with
:39:07. > :39:11.energy and quality. But it was a performance of character and real
:39:12. > :39:16.endeavour. Wigan have made their worst start in 13 years, but the
:39:17. > :39:20.manager remained upbeat. Blackpool were fortunate to survive as
:39:21. > :39:27.Emmerson Boyce ventured forward, but could not find the required finish.
:39:28. > :39:31.Only Callum McManaman will know how he squandered the scoring
:39:32. > :39:40.opportunity. All alone and another let off for the Seasiders. A summer
:39:41. > :39:48.recruit from Osasuna arrived at the club with a reputation for scoring
:39:49. > :39:54.goals and he gave them a lift. Blackpool's problems continue. It is
:39:55. > :40:04.116 years since they last loss their first four games. Blackpool are
:40:05. > :40:09.pointless and only Fulham are below them in the Championship table. The
:40:10. > :40:14.first half was the best since I have been at the club. It was phenomenal
:40:15. > :40:20.for the players, but we could not get the second, the third and the
:40:21. > :40:25.fourth goals. I would be happy to have one week to prepare for the
:40:26. > :40:30.next game and to have a break to make a good assessment of the
:40:31. > :40:34.situation. A fifth consecutive defeat in all competitions for
:40:35. > :40:42.Blackpool. For the fans their worst fears are being realised. Eight few
:40:43. > :40:47.things do not make sense. At Charlton daylight the manager. But
:40:48. > :40:52.he closed to Blackpool and has a stand of pre-season with the
:40:53. > :40:58.chairman. They do not get any player 's end. They left it late last year.
:40:59. > :41:05.But they started the season very well. It has not happened this year.
:41:06. > :41:08.Who is culpable or to blame? I think there has been a lack of
:41:09. > :41:12.communication and a lack of a good relationship between the manager and
:41:13. > :41:19.the chairman. Is that enough of an excuse? I do not know. Rumours
:41:20. > :41:25.flying around about the Leeds United coach leads Hockaday. Is it right we
:41:26. > :41:36.should be talking about his future so early in the season? The chairman
:41:37. > :41:40.has given him the job. After four games this was a scenario you could
:41:41. > :41:45.have foreseen. Whether it was right or wrong to give him the job is
:41:46. > :41:50.irrelevant. He has got to have the chance to do it. Whether it is right
:41:51. > :42:00.or wrong, a decision has been made, give him the opportunity. And a
:42:01. > :42:04.quick word on Bolton. For the third time in the week they have failed to
:42:05. > :42:12.hold onto a lead. They have dropped eight points from winning positions.
:42:13. > :42:16.They picked up periods of last season and felt awake again. We are
:42:17. > :42:20.looking at the squad and thinking you must do better. It is Bolton
:42:21. > :42:23.against Leeds and it is huge already.
:42:24. > :42:26.Right, time for League One then where newly promoted Fleetwood Town
:42:27. > :42:29.began the weekend top of the table with three wins out of three.
:42:30. > :42:32.It's the kind of start that has fans dreaming of an incredible
:42:33. > :42:45.Clem takes up the story as Chesterfield arrived at Highbury.
:42:46. > :42:51.Since the cod wars with Iceland in the 1970s they have not had a lock
:42:52. > :42:54.to shout about in these parts. The odd industry award for their famous
:42:55. > :43:14.cough sweets. And a local but they do have the still unfolding
:43:15. > :43:24.story of one of England's football's most meteoric rises. Here
:43:25. > :43:28.we are. This is how we are now. But ten years ago when you came in there
:43:29. > :43:39.was a little social club over there. Correct. Anything else? Very little.
:43:40. > :43:45.Apart from this. This is Fleetwood town of yesteryear. What capacity?
:43:46. > :43:51.We are talking about 80 seats. It was designed for speedway back in
:43:52. > :43:57.the 1950s. That is what used to bring in the crowd rather than the
:43:58. > :44:02.football. How did you get involved? I got a phone call from my bank
:44:03. > :44:08.manager about ten years ago. At first I put in ?5,000 and used to
:44:09. > :44:14.pay the wages until the end of the season that was probably ten weeks.
:44:15. > :44:18.How much have you spent over the last decade? In all honesty for the
:44:19. > :44:24.happiness and a pleasure it has brought to me and to the people of
:44:25. > :44:32.this area I would do it all again. Did you answer the question? I would
:44:33. > :44:41.need my accountant. Give me a ball park. Maybe around ?15 million I
:44:42. > :44:48.suspect. In your job as kit man I have gone from a bin liner to now
:44:49. > :44:54.getting teams ready to play like Sheffield United, Coventry and
:44:55. > :44:58.Bristol City. Where we are now is unbelievable. You used to take one
:44:59. > :45:04.bag to a game and now we take the skips and everything. They turn up
:45:05. > :45:13.with their own personal bits and pieces and that is it. There is a
:45:14. > :45:19.camaraderie about everyone and it is nice and homely, it is not a massive
:45:20. > :45:24.club but we are getting there. When I started it was very run down. Now
:45:25. > :45:44.I am eating scampi and drinking be no grazier -- Pinot Grigot. It would
:45:45. > :45:49.be off the Richter scale. It is beyond thinkable. You are thinking
:45:50. > :45:53.it though, aren't you? We have been good at winning promotions over the
:45:54. > :45:59.years and we will keep on living the dream in League 1 and see where it
:46:00. > :46:06.takes us. Despite Fleetwood's dream start of the season, they almost
:46:07. > :46:07.conceded a nightmare opener. Owen Doyle's run caused panic
:46:08. > :46:11.conceded a nightmare opener. Owen Doyle's run caused panic but the
:46:12. > :46:15.keeper kept a call head. The home side roused from their slumber after
:46:16. > :46:21.the break and started to show glimpses of their stellar form. This
:46:22. > :46:26.driving run from Evans almost paid dividends but Chesterfield always
:46:27. > :46:31.looked the more likely, and almost grabbed all three points in a
:46:32. > :46:36.frantic last-minute when Banks was denied by Maxwell. This shot hit the
:46:37. > :46:46.post. They are still unbeaten but only just.
:46:47. > :46:50.Would I be right in thinking that if I had offered you ten points from
:46:51. > :46:55.the first worldview would have snapped my hand off? Probably right,
:46:56. > :47:01.yes. We are pleased with the start we have made, three wins and a draw,
:47:02. > :47:05.we have got to be happy with that. There is a balance between ambition
:47:06. > :47:10.and unrealistic expectations but the way we have started the season makes
:47:11. > :47:16.us know that we can compete at this level. There are a lot of games, a
:47:17. > :47:19.lot of ups and downs and we will make sure we keep the players' feet
:47:20. > :47:21.on the make sure we keep the players' feet
:47:22. > :47:27.on the ground and work hard to achieve success. It is an incredible
:47:28. > :47:32.story really. The first time ever in League 1 for Fleetwood, one person
:47:33. > :47:41.that abyss surmises that football club has got to be Nathan Pond,
:47:42. > :47:50.surely. -- that epitomises that club. Yes, to be able to go through
:47:51. > :47:56.that amount of divisions and still be able to play your part, good luck
:47:57. > :48:02.to him. The question has to be asked, how far can they go? Probably
:48:03. > :48:08.as far as the money will take them. This will probably be the best year
:48:09. > :48:11.they will have with regards to expectations. Financially they have
:48:12. > :48:19.been one of the major players, now it is a pretty level playing field.
:48:20. > :48:27.As I say, expectation will be realistic so who knows what they
:48:28. > :48:53.will achieve. You cannot question their commitment.
:48:54. > :49:00.Peterborough boss was looking for a determined response, and after this
:49:01. > :49:07.half decent chance was wasted for Bradford, that is what he got. Some
:49:08. > :49:10.task striking the post before Burgess was shot down in the ensuing
:49:11. > :49:21.scramble, and his players shifted up another gear early in the second
:49:22. > :49:26.half. Vassell's fourth goal of the season was sensational. The Push
:49:27. > :49:46.move into the top two. -- push. This goal allowed him to celebrate a
:49:47. > :49:52.new arrival, but a determined start of the second half by Rochdale
:49:53. > :49:57.caught the Robins off-guard. Two goals denied in quick succession as
:49:58. > :50:03.Bristol City were forced onto the back foot. It was a sign of things
:50:04. > :50:09.to come. Raising the tempo did the trick for Dale. This cross was
:50:10. > :50:15.turned in by Henderson for his third goal in as many matches. It might
:50:16. > :50:21.have been even better for him and Dale, but the goalkeeper's brilliant
:50:22. > :50:30.stop preserved the Robins' brilliant start to the season. MK Dons
:50:31. > :50:36.dominated this match, but failing to score meant they failed to win. This
:50:37. > :50:44.player found himself thwarted not once but twice. Even when they were
:50:45. > :50:49.one on one with the goalkeeper, the ball did not run kindly for scoring
:50:50. > :50:56.finish. Midfielder Daniel Powell had the best chance of the second half.
:50:57. > :51:05.Powell did everything right, except hit the target. So Carl Robinson's
:51:06. > :51:09.side slip to seventh. The players were very good today against a very
:51:10. > :51:17.good Coventry side who were boosted by the news in the week. When you
:51:18. > :51:21.see the fans out today and the intensity, that shows how good our
:51:22. > :51:27.performance was. This was always going to be a big test for us, but
:51:28. > :51:31.we could have done better on the transitions, but I thought it was
:51:32. > :51:38.two very good sides who I think will be challenging at the top end of the
:51:39. > :51:41.table this season. John Gregory described crawly's midweek defeat to
:51:42. > :51:48.Bradford as a real punch on the nose but his team came out fighting at
:51:49. > :52:00.Bramall Lane. Mark Howard's reactions proved too sharp for this
:52:01. > :52:06.shot. The visitors haven't lost on their previous two visits to
:52:07. > :52:10.Sheffield. Sheffield United finally got their season going with a win at
:52:11. > :52:16.Peterborough in their previous outing, and came to life in the
:52:17. > :52:22.second half of this one. Baxter was again on the mark, this time serving
:52:23. > :52:26.up something really special. A strike worthy of winning any game,
:52:27. > :52:33.and with the crowd now firmly behind them, they pulled forward once
:52:34. > :52:37.more. Davis starting and not quite finishing the move that would have
:52:38. > :52:48.added more gloss to the scoreline, but United now in the groove
:52:49. > :52:52.although crawly run them close. Unbeaten so far this season and
:52:53. > :53:04.unstoppable it would seem, Preston took just four minutes to open up
:53:05. > :53:12.Oldham, who haven't found a winning touch so far in this campaign. It
:53:13. > :53:17.was Preston's day but the manager still once more. We were a little
:53:18. > :53:28.bit lacklustre in our performance. We have played far better than that
:53:29. > :53:33.this year and not won. It is not the worst I suppose, Grayson saying they
:53:34. > :53:39.could play better. Oldham And, looking for that elusive win.
:53:40. > :53:45.Peterborough have made a good start, three wins out of four. They have
:53:46. > :53:56.had big name players come and go, and have come across another one,
:53:57. > :54:04.Vassell. Yes, is that four in four for him? A great start. There are
:54:05. > :54:08.got some players at Oldham. If you can isolate them... May be the team
:54:09. > :54:14.around them isn't as good but you can see that potential. The big news
:54:15. > :54:23.to come out of League 1 is that one of the biggest signings we have seen
:54:24. > :54:29.in Coventry's history, their return to the Ricoh Arena, what a massive
:54:30. > :54:33.boost for them. It is, it has been a disgrace that the club have been
:54:34. > :54:38.what they have been through. As soon as you sell your prize asset... And
:54:39. > :54:43.let's be honest, this goes back to the time when they sold Highfield
:54:44. > :54:46.Road and didn't have a home to go to, you cannot sell your football
:54:47. > :54:54.ground without owning the next place you go to, and that has always been
:54:55. > :54:58.a problem. It is a big club, a big City with huge potential. It can be
:54:59. > :55:03.self servicing, even if it doesn't own its ground because it has that
:55:04. > :55:09.level of support so let's hope this is a corner turned for them and now
:55:10. > :55:14.they can go on to fulfil that. That boost cannot be understated really,
:55:15. > :55:18.because it will be a fillip to the players. For Steven Presley to
:55:19. > :55:23.recruit players, to say this is our home. Nobody has taken to
:55:24. > :55:28.Northampton, it's not like they have got a third of people that normally
:55:29. > :55:34.watch them travelling, nobody is bothered to go there, suddenly there
:55:35. > :55:40.will be 12,000, 14,000 at the next game, maybe even more than that.
:55:41. > :55:42.Port Vale maintained their unbeaten start in League One
:55:43. > :55:45.thanks to Tom Pope's fifth goal in four games in all competitions
:55:46. > :55:53.Vale's next challenge came in the form of Shaun Derry's Notts County.
:55:54. > :56:00.Knox County had two players sent off midweek, but they still got the win
:56:01. > :56:05.against Colchester, and once Gary Jones put them in front at Port Vale
:56:06. > :56:12.they looked well capable of wrapping up consecutive victories in the
:56:13. > :56:16.space of four days. Liam Noble evaded a couple of limp Port Vale
:56:17. > :56:21.challenges before being shut out by the feet of Sam Johnson. Knox County
:56:22. > :56:31.didn't win a league match until September last season, but they made
:56:32. > :56:38.certain of the points here. -- Knox County.
:56:39. > :56:48.Port Vale's first defeat of the season. Colchester are living up to
:56:49. > :56:57.their preseason billing as relegation favourites. Colchester
:56:58. > :57:07.hung on until the 65th minute, Carl Bennett took his second goal of the
:57:08. > :57:11.season. Doncaster are rediscovering their League 1 rhythm. Swindon had
:57:12. > :57:16.one of the best home records of the division last season and this
:57:17. > :57:19.performance underlined why. The Man of the Match proved how practice
:57:20. > :57:25.makes perfect if you work hard enough on the training ground. Crude
:57:26. > :57:28.dropped to the bottom of the table due to their own continuing
:57:29. > :57:39.defensive weakness. Lee Molineux lost possession and then this goal
:57:40. > :57:51.meant the visitors looked set for another tough season.
:57:52. > :57:59.This shot had the keeper worried. Dean Smith believes his side can
:58:00. > :58:04.achieve something this season, they are still without a win but it could
:58:05. > :58:09.have been worse if it were not for this fine stop. You want to win your
:58:10. > :58:14.home games. I'm pleased we have got a clean sheet but disappointed we
:58:15. > :58:20.were not able to unlock them. We have some periods where we got right
:58:21. > :58:25.on top but we couldn't convert those opportunities into goals. After a
:58:26. > :58:33.wobbly start, Barnsley are warming to the task nicely. Two goals inside
:58:34. > :58:38.half an hour set them on their way. The home side's second was slightly
:58:39. > :58:44.less spectacular but no less effective. Some win all doing the
:58:45. > :58:52.damage with a fine header. There was to be no letup after the break,
:58:53. > :58:58.19-year-old Cole has just arrived on loan from Manchester City, and
:58:59. > :59:04.clearly shares his dad's eye for the goal. Gillingham tried to respond
:59:05. > :59:19.and got their reward when they won a penalty. That gave Kedwell his
:59:20. > :59:25.chance. Substitute Jennings tried to make his bid for goal of the season
:59:26. > :59:32.but Stephen Bywater was equal to the task. But the keeper could do
:59:33. > :59:38.nothing as Jennings celebrated his return from suspension. Even though
:59:39. > :59:44.a first home win of the season was secure, Barnsley were unlucky not to
:59:45. > :59:49.make it five. But the overall faithful could have no complaints
:59:50. > :59:54.and the job done. You will's win on Tuesday would have
:59:55. > :00:03.been a major relief to all concerned. They looked in the mood
:00:04. > :00:06.to back this attempt up, but Scunthorpe's attack was being led by
:00:07. > :00:15.Paddy Matin and he was keen to remind the home fans he was still a
:00:16. > :00:20.major danger. A superbly crafted goal gave the Glover 's lead five
:00:21. > :00:35.minutes past the hour. Scunthorpe had come into the weekend rock
:00:36. > :00:41.bottom. He had come back to haunt his former team-mates. The Yeovil
:00:42. > :00:49.fans will not remind us of the predatory instincts of Paddy Madden.
:00:50. > :00:54.It has been a reality check. It was a record-breaking season last
:00:55. > :01:02.season, but three defeats out of four and it is a whole new ball game
:01:03. > :01:07.in this league. Some take a little while to find their feet. With
:01:08. > :01:12.Scunthorpe it is the flip side of the coin. A marvellous finish to the
:01:13. > :01:18.last season and up another league questions asked so far and they have
:01:19. > :01:23.struggled a bit. Not many goals in League 1 at the weekend. 17, four of
:01:24. > :01:31.them being scored by Barnsley. What about the first one? It is a quality
:01:32. > :01:36.goal. They will be pleased they started so well. Get the relegation
:01:37. > :01:46.out of their system and get that feel-good factor back. It is three
:01:47. > :01:50.defeats in a row for Job done. They started as one of the relegation
:01:51. > :01:56.favourites in that division. It will be a long, hard season. I played at
:01:57. > :02:02.a club in Brighton and it was always a bit of a struggle to stay in that
:02:03. > :02:06.division. The disappointment of losing when you are a club of that
:02:07. > :02:12.size is not as profound as it would be at a bigger club. You do not
:02:13. > :02:16.expect to get beaten, but you look to the next game and it does not
:02:17. > :02:21.have the damning effect it would have at other clubs. They and he
:02:22. > :02:28.have shown they can cope at this level. The youngsters have one more
:02:29. > :02:31.year of experience. Absolutely. Nobody will write them off, there is
:02:32. > :02:36.no real pressure on them at this stage. They will turn it around.
:02:37. > :02:39.League Two now and what a start it's been for Morecambe. Widely tipped
:02:40. > :02:42.for a season of struggle, the Shrimps started the weekend top
:02:43. > :02:45.thanks to the irrepressible Kevin Ellison who got the winner at home
:02:46. > :02:48.to Oxford on Tuesday. So could they maintain their 100% start away at
:02:49. > :03:14.First Oxford and Cambridge. Morecambe had passed both tests in
:03:15. > :03:18.the space of four days. For the use of it was another lesson in how not
:03:19. > :03:24.to defend, especially having blown a 2-goal lead at York before. Some
:03:25. > :03:32.parity was restored in the second half, but in the end it was still
:03:33. > :03:37.academic. The Morecambe striker showed great composure to get his
:03:38. > :03:43.second of the day. But Cambridge continued to ask questions. Chadwick
:03:44. > :03:52.was kept off the scoresheet by Barry Roach. This is Morecambe's best ever
:03:53. > :04:02.start, four straight league wins. Top marks. Newport had lost all four
:04:03. > :04:06.and Burton had a perfect record of winds. But the form book went out of
:04:07. > :04:16.the window nine minutes before the break. Moments before the interval
:04:17. > :04:21.the home fans were on the point of celebrating again. But the
:04:22. > :04:31.thunderbolt came back off the Brewers' crossbar. Edwards crossed
:04:32. > :04:36.from the right and it was fired home through a crowded six yard box.
:04:37. > :04:39.Burton have made their best ever football league starts and you would
:04:40. > :04:44.have thought they would have gone on to win the game. But they were
:04:45. > :04:52.denied by the woodwork and Newport have secured their first point of
:04:53. > :04:57.the season. All change at Shrewsbury with 16 players signed since the end
:04:58. > :05:07.of last season as they come to terms with the demands of League 2. But
:05:08. > :05:13.the referee felt a red card was warranted and they lost a man.
:05:14. > :05:21.Collins showed commendable composure. The striker who started
:05:22. > :05:29.on the bench then forced a save from the Northampton keeper. The Cobblers
:05:30. > :05:34.left it late to restore parity. In the dying moments substitute
:05:35. > :05:38.Sinclair made his mark. But there was still a time for Mohammed to
:05:39. > :05:51.threaten a winner, but the game was to finish one point apiece. With
:05:52. > :05:55.wins and boys had to come by Oxford tried to make a quick start, Joe
:05:56. > :06:02.Riley denied by Paul Jones after two minutes. The keeper was at it again
:06:03. > :06:09.just before the interval, this time Danny Hilton able to find a way past
:06:10. > :06:17.him initially, but then the post was denied to him. The late when it came
:06:18. > :06:25.courtesy of Craig West car's knee which was cruel and costly. The good
:06:26. > :06:29.teams do not always play at their best in the first half and we did
:06:30. > :06:33.not play at our best and the standard was not quite what we set
:06:34. > :06:41.in recent games. It was a hard earned victory. To get the point is
:06:42. > :06:45.always a big thing. A positive result for Wimbledon would have
:06:46. > :06:49.capped an excellent week and maintained their unbeaten start to
:06:50. > :06:55.the league campaign. It looked rosy when Matt Tubbs was allowed time and
:06:56. > :06:58.space to grab his fourth goal in five games. Hartlepool made the long
:06:59. > :07:11.journey south having lost four in a row. They almost conceded again when
:07:12. > :07:15.Barry Fuller rattled the woodwork. Charlie White signed on loan from
:07:16. > :07:19.Middlesbrough on Thursday marked his arrival by rising above the crowd a
:07:20. > :07:23.minute after the restart. To the home side's irritation the
:07:24. > :07:30.21-year-old spent three months with them last season. Jones did not
:07:31. > :07:39.travel with Hartlepool. But a more experienced marksman was on hand.
:07:40. > :07:45.Facing their first league reverse of the season the Dons rallied. When
:07:46. > :07:51.Tubbs hit the deck as he turned Tommy Miller, referee Brendan Malone
:07:52. > :08:04.ordered the penalty. Tubbs took the responsibility from the spot.
:08:05. > :08:08.Carlisle have found life in League 2 hard going, but amid weak point
:08:09. > :08:15.ended a three match losing streak and gave them a platform to build
:08:16. > :08:19.from. Sweeney's header should have put a spring in their step, but
:08:20. > :08:27.almost immediately south ends bonded as Conor Clifford sent them to the
:08:28. > :08:31.break all square. Lee Painter is yet to open his account and he has not
:08:32. > :08:38.scored for almost a year. He is still waiting. That elusive first
:08:39. > :08:44.win is still to arrive. It could so easily have been another loss and it
:08:45. > :08:50.not been for the keeper as he denied two chances in rapid succession. I
:08:51. > :08:55.was wanting more from my wingbacks to be a bit more courageous and take
:08:56. > :09:02.the game to the opposition, but we were not able to do it. But it is a
:09:03. > :09:08.point in the end. Two late goals cost Tranmere last weekend, but they
:09:09. > :09:17.bounced back in midweek and Elliot Richards gave them a terrific start.
:09:18. > :09:22.The keeper's reactions in the crowded box denied Jason Taylor an
:09:23. > :09:33.equaliser. It served to pump up his team-mates. Cull Stockton was the
:09:34. > :09:44.creator. But fair play to Cheltenham, they stormed back. But
:09:45. > :09:48.soon the floodgates were to open. Williams shutout Sterling James, but
:09:49. > :09:59.Richards was waiting for the rebound. Then two young players
:10:00. > :10:03.turned the game on its head. Then the former Arsenal trainee Jordan
:10:04. > :10:17.Wynter sealed a remarkable victory for Cheltenham. Stevenage is without
:10:18. > :10:21.a win in all competitions and needed a change in fortune and Charlie Lee
:10:22. > :10:29.almost gave them the start they were looking for. Charles provided a
:10:30. > :10:36.breakthrough moment and there was a 50-50 chance with the goalkeeper.
:10:37. > :10:42.But they could not build on it and would have equalised, Paul Hayes
:10:43. > :10:47.producing a delightful finish. Their second came from the strangest of
:10:48. > :10:51.set piece routines. It succeeded in confusing the Stevenage players and
:10:52. > :10:57.Peter Murphy got there first. He has now scored in all of their wings.
:10:58. > :11:04.Substitute Matt McClure completed the scoring. It is early days, but
:11:05. > :11:16.they have showed encouraging sides in the opening weeks of the season.
:11:17. > :11:19.Matt McClure had the final say. Patients has been the keyboard that
:11:20. > :11:28.in this season. They had to wait until midweek to get their first win
:11:29. > :11:33.of the campaign and they had to wait to get something at the stroke of
:11:34. > :11:37.half-time. It came from Luke Howell at close range. Their second was the
:11:38. > :11:49.result of another well constructed build-up. Although Ashley Chambers'
:11:50. > :11:55.cross was blocked, Abu go-go got his second goal in the space of a week.
:11:56. > :12:04.Paul Cox admitted his side did not turn up, Sam Coker saw his shot
:12:05. > :12:12.blocked on the line. It was one of those afternoons for the visitors.
:12:13. > :12:23.Bury were swiftly out of the blocks. The Shakers underlined their
:12:24. > :12:26.ambition to one promotion back to League 1 when Danny Rose completed
:12:27. > :12:32.his move from Barnsley at the beginning of the week. The
:12:33. > :12:35.20-year-old's ability to pound reinforced by David Flitcroft has
:12:36. > :12:46.such a high regard for the striker. Plymouth were thumped four zero
:12:47. > :12:55.earlier on. The defendant claimed it was outside the area, but the
:12:56. > :13:01.referee pointed to the spot. Late on the momentum was with the Pilgrims.
:13:02. > :13:09.Their opportunity to level things up fell to Kelvin Mellor who miscued
:13:10. > :13:13.and Bury held on. Two side yet to taste that winning feeling. Not even
:13:14. > :13:18.Exeter's home form offered much cause for celebration. David
:13:19. > :13:25.Wheeler's eighth minute header was just what the doctor ordered. But
:13:26. > :13:26.York are proving a tough nut to crack with their three
:13:27. > :13:33.York are proving a tough nut to crack with their previous league
:13:34. > :13:37.games finishing all square. This was a let off for the home side who
:13:38. > :13:46.needed that second goal to kill the game off. Their inability to do so
:13:47. > :13:51.backfired when Keith Powell powered home eight minutes from the end.
:13:52. > :13:57.After taking a pasting in midweek this was always going to be a test
:13:58. > :14:03.of character for Accrington. But inside nine minutes they were up
:14:04. > :14:13.against Luton. Just past the quarter hour they appeared to be heading for
:14:14. > :14:18.their first win of the campaign. McNulty displaying the spirit and
:14:19. > :14:22.bravery his manager had called for before the game. But Accrington's
:14:23. > :14:28.fans were taking nothing for granted especially so after Luke Rooney cut
:14:29. > :14:34.inside Adam Buxton to halve the deficit. The home side have lost all
:14:35. > :14:39.four of their games this season, but this was a match they should have
:14:40. > :14:46.won. Matt Tyler shut the door on George Bowerman. Three minutes
:14:47. > :14:51.before the break, a deflected free kick earned Luton a point.
:14:52. > :15:01.Disappointment for Accrington, but at least they are off the bottom. An
:15:02. > :15:06.entertaining game. Markham, incredible scenes, almost similar to
:15:07. > :15:13.what happened this time last year. Yes, fantastic. If he could keep
:15:14. > :15:17.everything as it is and nobody got injured, I'm sure he would be
:15:18. > :15:22.pleased but with the smaller clubs you tend to get some injuries and it
:15:23. > :15:29.does on balance what you have got, but a brilliant start, reminiscent
:15:30. > :15:37.of last year. Certainly the way he is speaking about them, he fully
:15:38. > :15:44.expects them to see it through. The comeback of the day undoubtedly goes
:15:45. > :16:02.to Cheltenham, 2-0 down and in the space of six minutes, three goals. I
:16:03. > :16:07.think he changed the system to 4-4-2 and it obviously have the desired
:16:08. > :16:11.effect. He is a brilliant manager, disappointing that things stalled
:16:12. > :16:18.last year but up and running and he will want to keep the momentum going
:16:19. > :16:23.now. Disappointing start for Oxford. They have eight defeats on the
:16:24. > :16:32.spin, and what is more concerning for Michael Appleton who has taken
:16:33. > :16:37.over, one goal. It is always a concern if you are struggling to
:16:38. > :16:42.score goals but as you say, it is a hangover from last year, they are
:16:43. > :16:46.struggling this year. They put a good side under a lot of pressure so
:16:47. > :16:52.there are positives they can take from the game. That is almost it
:16:53. > :17:22.from us. Let's take a look at the tables before we go.
:17:23. > :17:24.Peterborough move up to second after yet another Kyle Vassell
:17:25. > :17:27.The bottom five were all winless although Russ Wilcox's Scunthorpe
:17:28. > :17:29.picked up their first point of the season at Yeovil.
:17:30. > :17:31.Crewe, the only side with a 100% losing record,
:17:32. > :17:34.Morecambe's best start to a league season continues
:17:35. > :17:38.after a fourth consecutive win, five of the top six remain
:17:39. > :17:40.unbeaten, including Portsmouth who stretched their unbeaten run under
:17:41. > :17:48.Oxford United are rock bottom of the Football League after their fourth
:17:49. > :17:53.Accrington are also in the relegation zone
:17:54. > :17:56.despite picking up their first point of the campaign, drawing 2-2 against
:17:57. > :18:02.OK, well that's it from us but we're back on Wednesday night
:18:03. > :18:06.for all the drama of the second round of the Capital One Cup.
