:01:17. > :01:19.Unbeaten in the League and leading the title race, Nottingham Forest
:01:20. > :01:24.We've extended highlights from the City Ground as Stuart
:01:25. > :01:32.It's first against second in League One, as leaders Bristol City
:01:33. > :01:45.look to build on a flying start against highly fancied MK Dons.
:01:46. > :01:48.We've another 82 goals for you to enjoy,

:02:15. > :02:20.How quickly fortunes can change 12 months ago, Blackpool had started
:02:21. > :02:27.with 17-points from their first eight games. Now they Langish
:02:28. > :02:32.without a win. Instead its visitors Norwich who matched that impressive
:02:33. > :02:42.Blackpool points tally of a year ago. A World Cup representative in
:02:43. > :02:49.Blackpool's mist, a debut for Cubero. There is no shortage of
:02:50. > :02:55.attacking options. Daniel is the only recognised centre-back.
:02:56. > :03:02.Jerome's six goals so far is double Blackpool's collective tally. He
:03:03. > :03:09.spearheads a Norwich Ied side which started their league outing after 11
:03:10. > :03:17.changes in the Cup midweek. Hooiveld joined Blackpool six years ago.
:03:18. > :03:24.Opportunity for Delfouneso. He got his head up, Nathan Delfouneso.
:03:25. > :03:29.Bradley Johnson had little choice, but to bring him to the ground.
:03:30. > :03:35.Blackpool now have a free-kick. This is definitely in a shooting
:03:36. > :03:41.position. McMahon sets his sites. Not a bad one. Ruddy is forced into
:03:42. > :03:43.the game's first save. It was a far from straight-forward one, the
:03:44. > :03:58.Blackpool captain testing him. He will take the resulting corner
:03:59. > :04:03.kick. Ah - brilliant header goalwards from Zoko. Vicious
:04:04. > :04:16.delivery from McHaon. Zoko made the dart. Ruddy, he made that look easy.
:04:17. > :04:21.-- McMahon. Grabban, he will think about doing something special. The
:04:22. > :04:25.deflection takes it just wide. Lewis was wrong-footed. Daniel, got enough
:04:26. > :04:43.on it to turn it wide of the post. That will be a pass back, surely?
:04:44. > :04:47.No. Ruddy allowed to continue. Many of the Blackpool fans thought there
:04:48. > :04:56.was enough intent on the ball back to the goalkeeper that that should
:04:57. > :05:04.have been an indirect free-kick. Tettey turns towards the Blackpool
:05:05. > :05:11.goal. Sight of goal for Grabban. He is well, well off target. He's
:05:12. > :05:15.waited 43 minutes, Lewis Grabban for his first sight of the Blackpool net
:05:16. > :05:20.it. Was a swift counter-attack that presented him with a chance. He had
:05:21. > :05:31.plenty to aim at. Couldn't add to his five goals so far this season.
:05:32. > :05:40.It's Blackpool with the early opportunity. A wonderful save from
:05:41. > :05:43.Ruddy. On the rend bound, it's in. It's Nathan Delfouneso with a goal
:05:44. > :05:52.to give everybody at Bloomfield Road a lift. Once again, they caught
:05:53. > :05:57.Norwich napping in midfield. Perkins leading the charge. Whilst Miller
:05:58. > :06:02.couldn't take his chance, boy did Delfouneso take his. Blackpool 1,
:06:03. > :06:14.Norwich 0. Hoolahan and Redmond standing over
:06:15. > :06:20.the free-kick. Hoolahan. Well-worked, Grabban. He was hoping
:06:21. > :06:30.to pick out a team-mate. Instead he found Lundstram, to turn it behind.
:06:31. > :06:40.Redmond in once more. It's off Daniel this time and in. An
:06:41. > :06:44.equaliser for Norwich. I'm not sure how much they knew about it,
:06:45. > :06:50.Norwich. They've got themselves back into it. Redmond's delivery was a
:06:51. > :06:53.good one. Donovan Daniel could do nothing more than to help it on into
:06:54. > :07:06.the back of the net. -- Donovan Daniels. Redmond. Another
:07:07. > :07:09.good delivery from him. Lewis is forced into a save. Very nearly
:07:10. > :07:20.Norwich turned 1-0 down into 2-1 up. She will be hoping, once again, the
:07:21. > :07:23.club that she oversees can turn around a game that they were losing
:07:24. > :07:38.around turn it into three-points. Brilliantly won for Ranger. Ranger
:07:39. > :07:46.is there again. Miller was denied at the last. Just as he looks to get
:07:47. > :07:53.his first Blackpool goal. He shrugged off Turner. Hooiveld was
:07:54. > :07:59.there is to help out his defensive partner. Perkins against Johnson in
:08:00. > :08:04.the midfield. Hoolahan found that pocket of space once more. Forced
:08:05. > :08:11.Grabban a little while. Support is arriving, in the shape of Redmond,
:08:12. > :08:15.who is urged to shoot. Jerome, you would have absolutely quaranteed he
:08:16. > :08:20.would have turned it in. Somehow it has gone over and behind. What an
:08:21. > :08:33.opportunity for Cameron Jerome. Grabban. Looking for a shooting
:08:34. > :08:39.opportunity. Grabban gets one. A deflection has taken it past Lewis.
:08:40. > :08:43.Once again, Norwich City have come behind to lead in the Championship.
:08:44. > :08:51.Will that be enough for them to claim a sixth win of the season?
:08:52. > :08:58.It's another goal, which came with a helping hand. Lewis Grabban created
:08:59. > :09:03.the opportunity for himself. But, once again, it was Donovan Daniels,
:09:04. > :09:11.the unfortunate player, to get the final touch. Blackpool are 2-1
:09:12. > :09:30.behind to Norwich. Here come Norwich again. Murphy. Oh,
:09:31. > :09:35.that's brilliant. An outstanding goal from the substitute, Josh
:09:36. > :09:42.Murphy. His first Norwich goal, it should wrap up the victory. Norwich
:09:43. > :09:48.City lead at Blackpool, 3-1. Cameron Jerome winning it back. After that,
:09:49. > :09:55.it was all Murphy's own work. Waited for the gap. And waited for the
:09:56. > :10:01.opportunity. The 19-year-old was able to finish beautifully. He is
:10:02. > :10:06.off the mark in Norwich colours. They've seen enough disenchanted
:10:07. > :10:11.now. They are heading for home. We are always very close, but, at the
:10:12. > :10:16.end, the result is not always, but often the same. So it's... Yeah,
:10:17. > :10:20.it's a big frustration for me, for the staff and for the players. I
:10:21. > :10:25.think during one hour we were good. We were looking for good
:10:26. > :10:30.organisation and for good result. We were really in the game. If you want
:10:31. > :10:34.to win the league, you want to get promotion, there are times when it
:10:35. > :10:36.will be all guns blazing, attractive attacking. Crowd on the edge of
:10:37. > :10:40.their seats. Other times it will have to be, we need to get the job
:10:41. > :10:48.done. That is probably what happened today. Another comeback win for
:10:49. > :10:50.Norwich this season. Not their free-flowing best, as Neil
:10:51. > :10:55.mentioned. Solid enough from them? Yeah. I mean they will take the
:10:56. > :10:58.points, obviously. You are almost frightened to score first against
:10:59. > :11:01.them, aren't you? That is when they seem to be at their best, when
:11:02. > :11:09.coming from behind. In the end, they had to work quite hard for that one.
:11:10. > :11:17.They got there. Blackpool certainly had the better chances in the first
:11:18. > :11:21.hour? For an hour they made life difficult for the league leaders.
:11:22. > :11:25.Lack of goals. First goal they have scored in nearly a month. To get out
:11:26. > :11:30.of the situation they are in, you need to win games. Clearly, they are
:11:31. > :11:35.going to need to score more goals. Riga said when you are at the bottom
:11:36. > :11:39.your luck is out. That showed with the two deflected goals. Absolutely.
:11:40. > :11:44.Any arguments about that third goal as far as the Canaries are
:11:45. > :11:50.concerned? Lundstram should have put the ball forward, he doesn't. Murray
:11:51. > :11:54.got one. There is obviously another Blackpool player inside. They would
:11:55. > :11:59.have been happy to show him down-the-line. He opens his body up
:12:00. > :12:04.here, Josh Murphy, sees the gap. A wonderful finish. 20 points from the
:12:05. > :12:08.nirs nine games of the season for Neil Adams at Norwich. The only
:12:09. > :12:12.relegated side to have kept hold of the original manager. Are you
:12:13. > :12:19.surprised how he has done? Four games towards the end of the season,
:12:20. > :12:24.three were difficult. . Difficult to make a judgment call on that. He had
:12:25. > :12:29.to decide who goes and who stays and bring players in to add to those who
:12:30. > :12:32.remain. He has done that well. Blackpool have a Chairman who
:12:33. > :12:38.doesn't believe in paying agents their fees. Doesn't involve them. Is
:12:39. > :12:42.he limiting the club's options unnecessarily? This is a contentious
:12:43. > :12:48.issue throughout the football, not just on this, but other issues, in
:12:49. > :12:57.this particular instance he is sticking to his principles. I
:12:58. > :13:05.understand what he is saying. It limits what is available. .
:13:06. > :13:09.Although Oscar Garcia returned to take training at Watford on Friday,
:13:10. > :13:12.he opted to sit in the director's box as the Hornets
:13:13. > :13:28.Blackpool had most of the possession. Watford were more
:13:29. > :13:36.dangerous. The keeper's home debut proved testing. Vydra made things
:13:37. > :13:50.hard for himself, but he redeemed the situation. Blackpool's afternoon
:13:51. > :13:58.got worse. They scored this fabulous kick. Gestede's header sparked an
:13:59. > :14:06.onslaught that Watford found impossible to resist. This cross set
:14:07. > :14:09.up Tunnicliffe's first senior goal. Cairney was involved in the
:14:10. > :14:14.build-up. He was inches from adding a third. Despite that fruitful first
:14:15. > :14:34.half, Watford were fortunate to escape with a draw.
:14:35. > :14:35.players was first class. The goal after half-time caused is the real
:14:36. > :14:46.problem. Middlesbrough arrived showing no ill
:14:47. > :14:48.effects from their heroics midweek, and they started like a team who had
:14:49. > :14:55.done the double over Charlton last is on. George Friend was just off
:14:56. > :14:58.target with their first chance. Next up was Chelsea loan striker Patrick
:14:59. > :15:07.Bamford in search of his third goal in three games. Then Spanish striker
:15:08. > :15:30.kite Kek the goalkeeper on his toes. Then Adomah's week got worse, and
:15:31. > :15:34.missed penalty on Wednesday and a red card on Saturday. That was the
:15:35. > :15:41.cue for Charlton to step up, and they were almost rewarded in
:15:42. > :15:46.stoppage time. Substitute Laurie Wilson had his moment of Corrie
:15:47. > :15:49.dashed by the keeper's legs. Then from the corner, the ball found its
:15:50. > :15:57.way to Wiggins, but still Charlton couldn't force a winner. We push
:15:58. > :16:03.them in the second half and tried to score the goal. That is what we
:16:04. > :16:06.would like to do at the last three games against Watford, Wolves and
:16:07. > :16:11.Rotherham, we get three points and are still unbeaten. But today it was
:16:12. > :16:18.the other way around. We were the best team and we created enough
:16:19. > :16:21.chances to win. With prospective new boss Russell
:16:22. > :16:25.Slade watching from the stands, Scott Young and Danny Gabbidon took
:16:26. > :16:28.charge of Cardiff for the third time hoping for a first win. They made
:16:29. > :16:37.nine changes from the cup defeat against Bournemouth, but Wednesday,
:16:38. > :16:45.who shipped seven goals at Man City, almost got an early goal. Then Aron
:16:46. > :16:53.Gunnarsson's header came on Jones's folly. Sean Morrison opened the
:16:54. > :17:00.scoring with his first goal in a Cardiff shirt.
:17:01. > :17:05.Morrison's second goal in a Cardiff shirt and third of the season was to
:17:06. > :17:15.follow five minutes after the break. But this time, I'm afraid, wrong
:17:16. > :17:20.end. One apiece, and Wednesday sensing they could win their third
:17:21. > :17:27.league game in a row. May again came close. Anthony Pilkington forced
:17:28. > :17:30.westward into a cracking reflex save, and just two minutes after
:17:31. > :17:38.that, Cardiff were allowed to play some head tennis in the Wednesday
:17:39. > :17:43.area. And Elkington does finally score his first for Cardiff for
:17:44. > :17:51.their first win since August. Winning breeds confidence, so it is
:17:52. > :17:59.important to put some wins together. I am sure the lads are
:18:00. > :18:05.feeling good at present. We didn't defend our ox well enough. Credit to
:18:06. > :18:08.Cardiff, but we have to do better in a good position.
:18:09. > :18:16.In almost two years in charge at Monroe, Mick McCarthy had never seen
:18:17. > :18:24.his players win four games in succession, but against Rotherham,
:18:25. > :18:26.they seized the opportunity. Visiting goalkeeper Scott Loach
:18:27. > :18:31.quickly called into action against the club he left in the summer,
:18:32. > :18:39.denying Darren Murphy. But the number nine didn't have to wait much
:18:40. > :18:47.longer. And the lead soon doubled. David McGoldrick showing wine Mick
:18:48. > :18:56.McCarthy reckons he is one of the championship's top strikers. Jordan
:18:57. > :19:00.Bowery's header showed that they had no plans for a meek surrender.
:19:01. > :19:08.Gradually they took control, although Frazer Richardson's header
:19:09. > :19:13.back almost finish them off. The rest of the match was far from
:19:14. > :19:19.comfortable for Ipswich. Easy enough that time to deal with Paul Green's
:19:20. > :19:23.header, but the deflected free kick posed a few more problems.
:19:24. > :19:28.Richardson was unable to make the rebound count, and Ipswich were
:19:29. > :19:35.victorious again. It was a perfect start. Heaven knows what happened
:19:36. > :19:46.after that. You have to give Rotherham credit, they played well.
:19:47. > :19:51.I thought we showed fantastic character not to give up after going
:19:52. > :19:56.2-0 down in the first five or six minutes. Steve Evans feels his side
:19:57. > :20:07.should lapse of got more out of that contest at Portman Road. Four wins
:20:08. > :20:10.in a row for Mick McCarthy's team. Murphy, McGoldric, both of them on
:20:11. > :20:12.the scoresheet. They could have a good partnership this season. They
:20:13. > :20:22.could. They are both decent players. He is
:20:23. > :20:26.still a threat up front and complain through the middle. We know that he
:20:27. > :20:32.could have been the difference between Ipswich get in the play-offs
:20:33. > :20:36.last year and not. When you consider they were talking about ?10 million,
:20:37. > :20:42.that shows what sort of player they have got. Without him, I wouldn't
:20:43. > :20:47.say they were much of a muchness, but they fall into a category of a
:20:48. > :20:51.lot of other sides. With him, it just takes them out of that ranging
:20:52. > :21:00.gives them a little extra. When you are in temporary charge, you have to
:21:01. > :21:05.hit the ground running. It was a good result against a good Sheffield
:21:06. > :21:08.Wednesday. It was. We know the result that Sheffield Wednesday had
:21:09. > :21:14.in the week, but it had no bearing on this game. They are a tough side
:21:15. > :21:15.to play against, they have had a good start, Sheffield Wednesday, and
:21:16. > :21:29.this is an excellent result. Ultimately, that was a good finish.
:21:30. > :21:33.Blackburn showed some real guts earlier. 2-0 down against Watford,
:21:34. > :21:43.to draw 2-2. Look at this overlap. When you have
:21:44. > :21:50.a player who is left footed on the right-hand side, there is place down
:21:51. > :21:54.the line, and it was a wonderful ball in, as well. And a player with
:21:55. > :21:59.a lot of confidence at the moment after a few goals. Having given
:22:00. > :22:05.Spurs a fright in the Capital One Cup this week, it was back to
:22:06. > :22:07.championship business for Nottingham Forest.
:22:08. > :22:11.Stuart Pearce made 8 changes from that cup defeat with star
:22:12. > :22:13.players Lansbury, Antonio and Assombalonga all returning.
:22:14. > :22:15.Sami Hyypia made seven changes from their midweek cup win with
:22:16. > :22:16.Stockdale, Dunk, LuaLua and Mackail-Smith the only survivors.
:22:17. > :22:27.Paul Walker describes the action. Brighton without a win in their last
:22:28. > :22:35.four league matches, Sami Hyypia hoping that that winning the cup
:22:36. > :22:44.will spur them on. Here is LuaLua. That was dangerous. Good hands from
:22:45. > :22:55.the goalkeeper. That was really whipped in with venom.
:22:56. > :23:04.Assombalonga, Osbourne. Still with the German. He ghosted into a great
:23:05. > :23:30.position there. And that deflects away, and
:23:31. > :23:37.Stockdale had to be sharp. Great effort, and look at that for a
:23:38. > :24:01.save. That was almost an own goal! That
:24:02. > :24:12.was close. He has the woodwork to thank for sparing his blushes.
:24:13. > :24:20.And look at and it over on the left. And Bennett has got round the back.
:24:21. > :24:33.Mackail-Smith is waiting. Sami Hyypia had his head in his
:24:34. > :24:38.hands. Look at that. Mikael Smith was begging for it. It is going to
:24:39. > :24:59.need a bit of magic to separate these two. Ince with the clearance,
:25:00. > :25:06.and they have conceded a free kick. Dunc just holding on to the back of
:25:07. > :25:14.Assombalonga. Beyond Wilson and wide.
:25:15. > :25:30.It was lifted in. Wilson couldn't make contact, and the referee is
:25:31. > :25:39.playing advantage here. Trying to get Mackail-Smith in. A great
:25:40. > :25:41.chance. The ball in to him was excellent. He takes it early,
:25:42. > :25:54.unlucky. And space has opened up now. Lifted
:25:55. > :25:56.in towards Paterson, Bruno couldn't get it. Assombalonga is waiting in
:25:57. > :26:14.the middle. That was poor. That went off Bennett, I think, for
:26:15. > :26:22.a corner. Are we in for some late drama, I wonder? Neither side
:26:23. > :26:32.deserved to lose it from here. And that was over the bar. He looks to
:26:33. > :26:37.the heavens just like his manager. He has a free header here, Dan into
:26:38. > :26:46.the turf and up over the bar. Even the manager was heading one home. It
:26:47. > :26:51.was a clear header which we probably should have buried, but you take 1-0
:26:52. > :26:55.and move on. For us to stay in the top six, we will have to show a
:26:56. > :26:59.level of consistency that probably we haven't showed today, I don't
:27:00. > :27:11.think. Certainly defensively we are pretty resolute. That is pleasing.
:27:12. > :27:16.In the second half, with better luck, we maybe could have got the
:27:17. > :27:20.win, but we need to work on things that we understand the game better,
:27:21. > :27:27.and will keep creating more and better chances to score. Despite no
:27:28. > :27:31.goals, Forest continue their run in the league. Slight sound of
:27:32. > :27:36.frustration from both managers there. How would you reflect on that
:27:37. > :27:42.game? The build-up was better than the final, that is where both sides
:27:43. > :27:48.lacked a bit of quality. They played decent football at times, but like
:27:49. > :27:52.you say, that little bit of quality at the end for both sides was
:27:53. > :27:57.lacking. This is the centre-half coming forward, and nobody, but
:27:58. > :28:02.nobody, has got anywhere near him. As he drifted to the area, no one
:28:03. > :28:10.has picked him up at all. That is your archetypal too much time. I
:28:11. > :28:18.think it hits him almost in the face, and he goes down. As for
:28:19. > :28:24.Brighton, they worryingly didn't create too many chances, but there
:28:25. > :28:29.was one, Mackail-Smith. I don't know whether he will be disappointed not.
:28:30. > :28:32.The keeper gets his angles right, so you get the feeling that even if he
:28:33. > :28:39.had got that on target, it would have been saved. But it is good to
:28:40. > :28:41.see him back with a bit of fitness. Nottingham Forest have lost that
:28:42. > :28:46.fear is that we know they can deliver with their front man. But
:28:47. > :28:57.for Brighton, that is five Lancs in eight or nine games, a worrying
:28:58. > :29:01.stat. -- five blanks. And then you go, hold on, what do we do about
:29:02. > :29:05.this? You will only go down the road for so long, and then you have got
:29:06. > :29:09.to do something. The most worrying thing is is if they were missing
:29:10. > :29:10.lots of chances, you would think, that will change, but they are not
:29:11. > :29:17.creating them. As for the rest of the Championship,
:29:18. > :29:19.with just one win in eight, Bolton were desperately after a result
:29:20. > :29:21.at home to Derby who despite just one defeat so far were yet to reach
:29:22. > :29:35.the standards they set last season. COMMENTATOR: Home advantage counted
:29:36. > :29:42.for little as Derby threatened any feel good factor after barely eight
:29:43. > :29:49.minutes. Brighton's charge into the area led to the referee awarding a
:29:50. > :29:54.penalty. Lonergan was too good for Martin. Events proved that wasn't
:29:55. > :29:58.the case all afternoon. Bolton drew heart from that let-off and Joe
:29:59. > :30:04.Mason almost gave them the lead minutes later. Derby got into their
:30:05. > :30:08.stride. Just before half-time, Richard Keogh sent Christie away.
:30:09. > :30:17.Bolton were opened up. Martin was ready and waiting. This time,
:30:18. > :30:28.Lonergan had no answer. 1-0 became 2-0 after the restart. Bryson won
:30:29. > :30:33.the ball, Martin did the rest. You never know, they could get a goal.
:30:34. > :30:42.The last time we had this at Blackburn a goal of weeks ago. It
:30:43. > :30:46.was mayhem. We didn't want that situation today. We controlled the
:30:47. > :30:53.game well and deserved the win. I picked a team today and tried it and
:30:54. > :30:56.got it horribly wrong. I have to look at my performance and take the
:30:57. > :31:00.responsibility from it. Saying that, we can't keep on committing football
:31:01. > :31:12.suicide week in and week out, as I think we did today. A chance for
:31:13. > :31:29.Silvestri to impress the new boss, a double save from Judge and Odubajo.
:31:30. > :31:33.. Leeds were less impressive. Tarkowski has taken over penalties.
:31:34. > :31:45.I wonder for how long. Have a look at some terrific passing from
:31:46. > :31:51.Brentford. The ball finds its way to the Spanish summer signing. His
:31:52. > :31:54.first goal straight out of the Barcelona manual. Brentford were
:31:55. > :32:01.given the freedom of the United area. They were queueing up to make
:32:02. > :32:06.it 2-0. McCormack with the shot over the bar. McCormack hadn't scored
:32:07. > :32:10.from March. Leeds almost invited him to have another go. Backing off and
:32:11. > :32:18.backing off. That sealed a much-needed victory for Brentford
:32:19. > :32:21.after two defeats in a row. Good performance, great character from
:32:22. > :32:26.the players. After a tough week away. We knew the threat they
:32:27. > :32:32.imposed. New manager, I'm sure they were keen to impress. We were good
:32:33. > :32:41.today in parts. I knew that home team is very good. They play
:32:42. > :32:47.aggressive football. We have some troubles with aggressive football.
:32:48. > :32:54.With the football they are playing. It had been a long time since
:32:55. > :32:59.Huddersfield fans went home with a spring in their step. Wells found
:33:00. > :33:03.the net with a flourish the roar was long and loud. The first goal they
:33:04. > :33:09.had scored in three matches was cancelled out within four minutes.
:33:10. > :33:13.Upson, on target for the first time for the Lions. The Londoners needed
:33:14. > :33:17.that. Keen to make last week's goalless draw with Forest a turning
:33:18. > :33:30.point as they sought a second win in seven. . Wells got the chance to
:33:31. > :33:34.take the glory. Not just manager Powell's first victory. It would be
:33:35. > :33:52.Huddersfield's first home success since the beginning of march.
:33:53. > :33:56.Millwall left empty handed. The boys look flat. Can I explain it? Did
:33:57. > :34:01.they mean it? Probably not. I thought it was a good display from
:34:02. > :34:06.the players. Really well earnt. My first win as manager. My fourth
:34:07. > :34:14.match. Yeah, good day all round for us. Winning away twice in the last
:34:15. > :34:18.week had raised home expectations. Bournemouth didn't disappoint.
:34:19. > :34:26.Wigan's defence only just cleared this cross. Kermorgant's follow up
:34:27. > :34:34.needed Carson at his most alert. Surman started their key move,
:34:35. > :34:38.Ritchie made the move. Kermorgant got his second goal of the season.
:34:39. > :34:42.Bournemouth's second goal arrived in the second-half from an unlikely
:34:43. > :34:47.force. Simon Francis started the build-up. Wilson provided the dummy.
:34:48. > :34:51.No holding Francis. Only his third Bournemouth goal in three years. The
:34:52. > :34:56.referee felt the full force of Wigan's frustration. Wilson's quick
:34:57. > :35:02.thinking almost made it 3-0 from this corner. Carson with help from
:35:03. > :35:15.Barnett saved the day. Wigan kept pressing. Boruc was equal to this
:35:16. > :35:23.shot. . We scored a tremendous second goal and put the game to bed.
:35:24. > :35:27.Disappointed and embarrassed. Words to my Chairman, words to my
:35:28. > :35:34.supporters that we in the moment can't deliver better results. Partly
:35:35. > :35:41.to blame for Fulham's dismal start to life in the Championship has been
:35:42. > :35:45.giving the ball away cheaply. Cotterill almost made them pay early
:35:46. > :35:51.on. Fulham played eight, lost seven, drawn one before this in the
:35:52. > :35:56.Championship's bottom side almost went behind with a corner. Grounds
:35:57. > :36:00.with a header just over. 37 minutes gone, Fulham often precious little
:36:01. > :36:05.resistance, the optimistic few who travelled from the Thames must have
:36:06. > :36:09.feared the worse when Cotterill gave Birmingham a deserved lead with a
:36:10. > :36:16.belter. His first for the Blues having scored against them last
:36:17. > :36:33.season. Shea came on for City at half-time and would have made an
:36:34. > :36:42.impact but for Bettinelli. A shot makes it is way towards goal and
:36:43. > :36:50.Hoogland scored his third of the season. Rodallega with plenty to do.
:36:51. > :36:56.Fulham's second goal in eight minutes. Kit Symons, second win in
:36:57. > :37:01.four days. The three games under my tenure they have done really, really
:37:02. > :37:06.well. Albeit, we seem to be able to play in one half of a game. We seem
:37:07. > :37:12.to play very, very well. If we can get it crack where we play well for
:37:13. > :37:16.both halves, we will be doing OK. Conceded a goal 1-1. All right. Not
:37:17. > :37:22.good, but not the end of the world. Still got to have a fight back in
:37:23. > :37:25.us. We just seem to go and do our own thing after that and go away
:37:26. > :37:32.from the gameplan and become very nervy. They had to do it the hard
:37:33. > :37:40.way with that come back win at St Andrews. Well done to Fulham. Huge
:37:41. > :37:45.relief I'm sure. It doesn't get much better for kit Symons winning two
:37:46. > :37:49.out of three? Making the most of it and enjoying his time. He is the
:37:50. > :37:55.only person who can smile and talk at the same time. Nice guy. Doesn't
:37:56. > :38:04.hurt when the good guys win. We wish him well. What about Rodallega on
:38:05. > :38:07.the scoresheet. They have had quality players but exiled at their
:38:08. > :38:11.cost? What is the point in marginalising. If you want to get
:38:12. > :38:14.rid of them, make that clear. If it doesn't happen you have to bring
:38:15. > :38:22.them back into the fold. They are good players. Kit saying by doing
:38:23. > :38:26.what he did he galvanised everybody. It brings everybody together and
:38:27. > :38:29.pulling in the same direction. Birmingham with an unwanted
:38:30. > :38:35.milestone? It took a while to work it out. One win in 23. 23 home
:38:36. > :38:38.games. A full season, you have won one game. That isn't good enough. It
:38:39. > :38:47.has to change change will find themselves in another dog fight like
:38:48. > :38:53.they were last year. Huddersfield fans celebrating a long away win.
:38:54. > :38:59.Wells getting two goals. Only a couple of days ago they got Holt on
:39:00. > :39:04.board? They did. With Wells he is a player that hasn't played at this
:39:05. > :39:07.level. Learning how to get used to this sort of level. I think he will
:39:08. > :39:10.be, that is a good signing, particularly for someone like him.
:39:11. > :39:14.James Vaughan has been out for a while. In and out of the side with
:39:15. > :39:22.injuries and stuff like that. Likes to play with the big men, Wells did
:39:23. > :39:29.it well at Bradford. It is better to come for the team and Wells as well.
:39:30. > :39:35.Leeds came unstuck at Brentford. A great win for Brentford. 10-points
:39:36. > :39:39.out of 12. Before they changed manager, they have lost momentum or
:39:40. > :39:45.the danger is of that happening? It's either that or coincidence. You
:39:46. > :39:50.do get the feeling - it's such a dramatic effect, Neil Redfern you
:39:51. > :39:54.getting a feeling from the Leeds perspective, the answer is under
:39:55. > :39:57.your nose they haven't overlooked it because you do think, maybe that was
:39:58. > :40:04.an opportunity missed with Neil red fern. What did you make of the
:40:05. > :40:10.Leeds' owner being amongst the away fans at Brentford? Each to their
:40:11. > :40:14.own, isn't it? We have seen some Chairman and Presidents, shall we
:40:15. > :40:20.say, do strange things. I wouldn't imagine he will do this every week.
:40:21. > :40:24.I think... If you are a Chairman or, you should be sat really in the
:40:25. > :40:28.place where everybody expects you to sit. As I said, he is trying to
:40:29. > :40:33.connect with the fans, I would imagine.
:40:34. > :40:35.No doubting the game of the day in League One.
:40:36. > :40:38.Five points clear of second placed visitors MK Dons,
:40:39. > :40:40.Bristol City have enjoyed a blistering start to the season
:40:41. > :40:43.Clem takes up the story at a club that's undergoing a transformation
:40:44. > :41:01.There may be a clearer view than normal of the tower block used as
:41:02. > :41:07.Nelson Mandela's house in Only Fools And Horses, Bristol City's owner is
:41:08. > :41:16.in a different league to Del Boy and Rodney. As Steve Cotterill chases
:41:17. > :41:22.his own fourth promotion as 20 years as a manager, Steve Lansdown sits
:41:23. > :41:29.1067th in the Forbes list of world billionaires. And, they are spending
:41:30. > :41:34.?45 million of his fortune on creating a state-of-the-art, home of
:41:35. > :41:38.the future for Bristol City. I can't get over the last time we were here,
:41:39. > :41:43.10 or 11 months ago, the place was really on a down. What a
:41:44. > :41:48.transformation? Away. Steve Cotterill coming in and doing what
:41:49. > :41:50.he did. He kept us safe last year. Enthusiasm back into the place.
:41:51. > :41:54.Discipline into the place. Brought everybody up with imhad. That has
:41:55. > :42:00.been great. We got off to a fantastic start this season. You
:42:01. > :42:03.were quite clear from the off what the objective is this season. Which
:42:04. > :42:10.is to win this league? Yeah. For sure. No point hiding from it and
:42:11. > :42:14.being scared of it. That is what we want to do. At this moment we are
:42:15. > :42:18.doing OK. The season doesn't finish tonight. If it did, we would be
:42:19. > :42:24.celebrating now, don't worry about it. When you have wealth like yours
:42:25. > :42:27.do you have to manage the perception on how people interact with the
:42:28. > :42:30.football club? The hardest word is no. You want to do everything to
:42:31. > :42:34.make the club successful. You have to stand back and say, I'm wealthy
:42:35. > :42:37.and prepared to invest in this football, not at any price. People
:42:38. > :42:44.have to come across with a proper business case, if you like, for what
:42:45. > :42:48.they want to spend. It will be your fifth promotion, is there something
:42:49. > :42:54.you can smell in the dressing room that is imlard to doing it the other
:42:55. > :42:58.four times? A good team spirit and a set of lad with good attitudes. We
:42:59. > :43:03.have it here. We work hard for each other. When we have been promoted
:43:04. > :43:11.those are the things. It's a topsy-turvy world being a football
:43:12. > :43:14.manager. For sure. Success in the past, working for Harry and his
:43:15. > :43:18.coach. You are in your flow and element again? Thankful to Harry for
:43:19. > :43:21.giving me that opportunity to go back out on the training field. At
:43:22. > :43:25.the end of the day, it's very difficult when you have been a
:43:26. > :43:29.manager to be a coach. All the time and do a good job, anyway. I think
:43:30. > :43:33.that, when you are in charge and when you have been a manager, next
:43:34. > :43:38.season, apart from a couple of interuption, I have been at it for
:43:39. > :43:42.20 years much I must be doing something right somewhere along the
:43:43. > :43:48.way. COMMENTATOR: there were goals right
:43:49. > :43:51.from the start. Agard is responsible for almost a quarter of Bristol
:43:52. > :43:57.City's tally this season. He needed four minutes to make his mark on
:43:58. > :44:06.this game. Agard has made a flying start to his Robins' career. City
:44:07. > :44:10.were awarded a penalty. The Dons didn't like the decision. They liked
:44:11. > :44:31.it even less when Agard smashed in his fifth goal in his last four
:44:32. > :44:39.games. Bowditch pulled one back. On 73 minutes, disaster struck for City
:44:40. > :44:41.and Wade Elliott. The League One leaders had thrown away a two-goal
:44:42. > :45:16.lead for the second week in a row. Valente hero in about 40 seconds. I
:45:17. > :45:29.don't think I had the best afternoon, to be honest. -- villain
:45:30. > :45:36.to hero. It is goes to show what you can do under pressure. This has the
:45:37. > :45:42.makings of a very famous season. Though yes, I think you can sense it
:45:43. > :45:49.from the crowd. There is a feeling around the club, it is a good vibe.
:45:50. > :45:55.Ever since that Hull KR file, Bristol City have been in steady
:45:56. > :46:09.decline. There is a real bars around Ashton Gate. -- buzz. If anybody
:46:10. > :46:17.deserves the success they get now, it is them. And what a turnaround
:46:18. > :46:25.for Steve Cotterill. It is incredible. They have not changed
:46:26. > :46:29.their side of the last six, so he knows what he has got. You don't
:46:30. > :46:34.want to change something that isn't broken. I like the way that he has
:46:35. > :46:44.gone about his business saying that we are in this to win this, and that
:46:45. > :46:47.breeds confidence among the players. Staying with League 1, few would
:46:48. > :46:52.have predicted how it would turn out for Leyton Orient. Six games into
:46:53. > :46:55.the new season, manager Russell Slade was threatened with the sack
:46:56. > :47:00.am only to resign 11 days later after being refused a chance to talk
:47:01. > :47:01.to managerless Cardiff. This is what the fans thought of it all as they
:47:02. > :47:11.prepared to meet Rochdale. The way Russell Slade has been
:47:12. > :47:15.treated is disgraceful. No manager deserves that, no owners in the park
:47:16. > :47:21.of ever behaved the way that they have. I'm disappointed, because I
:47:22. > :47:26.thought he could do it good job for us this year. I really hope that
:47:27. > :47:30.they had worked it out. This could be the right move for Leyton
:47:31. > :47:36.Orient, but not for Russell Slade. The club is too big for him. Russell
:47:37. > :47:42.Slade's departure cast a long shadow over the club. Matt Done was allowed
:47:43. > :47:48.space and time before unleashing one of the shots of the day, his seventh
:47:49. > :47:52.goal of the season. Kevin Nugent in his third spell as caretaker will be
:47:53. > :48:00.in courage by his team's response. They were level nine minutes later.
:48:01. > :48:06.Orient then had the chance to go ahead again.
:48:07. > :48:16.They had a penalty, and Rochdale were reduced to ten men after the
:48:17. > :48:21.defender was sent off. But the penalty was saved by Conrad Logan,
:48:22. > :48:29.and the opportunity went begging. Rochdale then suffered again.
:48:30. > :48:36.2-1, the home side well set for a morale boosting win? Wrong. Three
:48:37. > :48:44.minutes after half-time, Rochdale were level. Peter Vincenti's finish
:48:45. > :48:53.meant more furrowed brows in east London. Then Stephen Dawson sent the
:48:54. > :49:00.ball in, and as in the first half, so in the second. Orient slipped
:49:01. > :49:04.closer to the bottom four. Even when Shane Lowry's header beat Logan
:49:05. > :49:13.later on, Ian Henderson was on the line to clear. Tough times at
:49:14. > :49:18.Brisbane Road. It has been a difficult week. It has been tough.
:49:19. > :49:27.The second half there didn't make it easier for us. Win has been hard to
:49:28. > :49:34.come by in recent weeks for Peter Brant Fleetwood.
:49:35. > :49:38.It was the first-ever competitive meeting of these two clubs. But
:49:39. > :49:46.midway through the second half, Conor McLaughlin came close to
:49:47. > :49:49.settling them, only to be denied by the agile Ben Alnwick in the Posh
:49:50. > :50:00.goal. This challenge failed to escape the
:50:01. > :50:11.attentions of the referee, leading to a dismissal. We have to learn
:50:12. > :50:14.that we will get punished for the slightest thing, and that is what
:50:15. > :50:19.happened today, but we should have been leading by that point. We have
:50:20. > :50:24.to look at it as a group. They knew the importance of the result today.
:50:25. > :50:29.That is always the main thing. It was closely followed for me by the
:50:30. > :50:30.performance. We know how we can play, but we got the win, and that
:50:31. > :50:40.was important. Notts County boss Shaun Derry was
:50:41. > :50:50.delighted with the character shown by his players. The young defender
:50:51. > :50:52.was clearly in the mood, his next effort millimetres away from
:50:53. > :50:57.doubling the lead before Nicky Wroe was denied on the follow-up. But the
:50:58. > :51:04.second half saw a powerful response from Chesterfield, and it was a
:51:05. > :51:12.shade too high before the loose ball was fired across goal by banks. But
:51:13. > :51:16.the next time they ventured forward, the header was buried just under the
:51:17. > :51:20.bar. It was turning into a really entertaining contest, and the
:51:21. > :51:30.Magpies substitute nearly won it later on. But his overhead was
:51:31. > :51:41.cleared away. Defeat would have been very harsh on The Spireites. Port
:51:42. > :51:47.Vale had lost six in a row, and started brightly at Bradford. There
:51:48. > :51:52.was a controversial penalty awarded for a handball. Chris Lines
:51:53. > :52:01.converted his first goal for a year, and it didn't go down well with the
:52:02. > :52:06.home fans. This did, Mark Yeates finding the top corner, his first
:52:07. > :52:09.goal for a year. Bradford's last home win was on the opening day of
:52:10. > :52:11.the season, Gary Liddle almost scored a special goal to end that
:52:12. > :52:21.run, but 1-1, it finished. Preston are back contract. Bailey
:52:22. > :52:28.Wright's header was a sign of things to come at Coventry. Tom Clarke
:52:29. > :52:42.nudging North end in the direction of back-to-back wins. A penalty was
:52:43. > :52:53.one here, and no argument about the foul.
:52:54. > :53:01.I thought from start to finish we controlled it. We were very
:53:02. > :53:06.disciplined with the ball. The fantastic work ethic, and the game
:53:07. > :53:10.plan was executed really well. After a period of some good results, we
:53:11. > :53:13.have had three disappointing results, and now it is up to us to
:53:14. > :53:19.show the character to get through this. None of the previous ten
:53:20. > :53:22.league meetings between these two have produced a home win, and the
:53:23. > :53:27.trend looked like continuing when for all their possession as chances,
:53:28. > :53:29.Shefford United and in this case Mark McNulty couldn't find a way
:53:30. > :53:36.through the stubborn Gelling on defence. The Blades had no fewer
:53:37. > :53:41.than 27 shots, but even the woodwork was proving hard to avoid. So it was
:53:42. > :53:55.a shock when Gelling themselves to cheat Luke Norris -- Gillingham
:53:56. > :54:02.substitute Luke Norris found the goal. But they managed to equalise.
:54:03. > :54:07.Then in the dying seconds, Jamie Murphy went on a one-man rescue
:54:08. > :54:08.mission, weaving his way through the defence for a dramatic winner in the
:54:09. > :54:20.seventh minute of added time. I am just disappointed that the boys
:54:21. > :54:23.have got nothing, because they couldn't have worked any harder, and
:54:24. > :54:28.the lateness of the goal was disappointing. We were still
:54:29. > :54:34.pressing for the winner, and we scored some important late goals, so
:54:35. > :54:38.I think it will be a feature if we are going to succeed, we will have
:54:39. > :54:42.to sometimes do that. It was almost written in the stars,
:54:43. > :54:46.Sheffield United celebrating 125 years since their first game, and
:54:47. > :54:58.they couldn't have left their eighth win of the season any later. Know,
:54:59. > :55:04.-- somehow they managed to win it in 87 and 90 minutes. After a slow
:55:05. > :55:16.start, they are picking up. Yes, we would have expected that. They are
:55:17. > :55:19.back in contention. Kevin Nugent is in temporary charge Leyton Orient,
:55:20. > :55:24.but what a great comeback formance this was Rochdale with ten men.
:55:25. > :55:36.Fantastic, they have done brilliantly. He has done really
:55:37. > :55:42.well. They started the season a bit slower but have managed to pick up
:55:43. > :55:46.the momentum now and carry it on. They might be the fly in the and
:55:47. > :55:49.went in this division. They have done brilliantly to get up there,
:55:50. > :55:55.they have an awful lot of experience at that level. That it is a
:55:56. > :56:00.fantastic start for them. He has worked his magic set. I know there
:56:01. > :56:08.is a smattering of academy players in that first team squad. But where
:56:09. > :56:14.does it leave Leyton Orient and this air of uncertainty that lingers
:56:15. > :56:18.around them? The strange thing is, they had given him that ultimatum,
:56:19. > :56:24.then they built up some are meant, then summary comes he resigns, then
:56:25. > :56:29.suddenly he is back in the situation where it needs to be resolved and
:56:30. > :56:34.resolved quickly. There is no doubt that that is a very good club to
:56:35. > :56:37.take over, it is a really good club with some excellent players, so you
:56:38. > :56:42.have a really good chance there if you can become manager. The rest of
:56:43. > :56:45.League 1 now, starting with Yeovil who are starting to pick up after a
:56:46. > :56:53.poor start to the new season. They were away to Crawley.
:56:54. > :56:58.Joel Grant is displayed some delightful footwork before netting a
:56:59. > :57:02.great win last weekend against Peterborough. He very nearly put his
:57:03. > :57:07.side in front early on against Crawley. They were searching for
:57:08. > :57:15.back-to-back wins for the first time since December, but this cross had
:57:16. > :57:19.the look of a home banker. Elliott, who had a trial with Yeovil in the
:57:20. > :57:24.summer after being released by Bristol City put the seal on the
:57:25. > :57:29.wing just a few minutes later. He signed a monthly contract with
:57:30. > :57:32.Crawley to stir over a week ago, and now they are in the top half of the
:57:33. > :57:42.table. Terrific stuff from Elliott. Scunthorpe had lost three of their
:57:43. > :57:43.last four matches, but De Vita and Rory Fallon almost announced himself
:57:44. > :58:03.in style. -- Debbie before the match, Russ Wilcox had
:58:04. > :58:07.told his players to watch out for Jonathan Forte. Five goals in seven,
:58:08. > :58:16.so definitely don't let him in their to make it six goals in eight games.
:58:17. > :58:20.Mike Jones was playing his 10th match for his new club, at 25 yards
:58:21. > :58:26.out came close to opening his goal-scoring account.
:58:27. > :58:31.Fallon, who has played everywhere from Plymouth to St Johnstone and
:58:32. > :58:36.all points in between, did not his debut with a goal. His last match
:58:37. > :58:42.was for Crawley in May, but the New Zealander showing he is still sharp.
:58:43. > :58:47.At half-time, Oldham brought on Danny Philliskirk, and 20 minutes
:58:48. > :58:52.later, they were level again. That is his first in 12 matches. He
:58:53. > :58:57.didn't have long to wait for his second, 17 minutes, in fact. The
:58:58. > :59:07.goal to lift Lee Johnson's sides to 10th in the table.
:59:08. > :59:12.Goalless at half-time, this game ran away from Barnsley in the second
:59:13. > :59:17.half will stop once Nathan Byrne received the ball, he had just one
:59:18. > :59:19.aim in mind, the home defence backed off, he kept coming and Swindon had
:59:20. > :59:26.a lead they never looked like losing. Byrne never stop. Barnsley
:59:27. > :59:29.seemed to have no answer to the wave of attacks. Andy Williams almost
:59:30. > :59:33.made it four goals in four games but for Ross Turnbull, but there was
:59:34. > :59:40.only so much he could do before Swindon's dominance played off.
:59:41. > :59:44.Another substitute, Jake Reeves, was eventually in the right place to get
:59:45. > :59:48.his first goal of the season. Seconds later, it got even worse for
:59:49. > :59:53.Danny Wilson's side in front of a disbelieving crowd. Possession was
:59:54. > :59:57.conceded straight from the kick-off, and Michael Smith was on his way.
:59:58. > :00:03.The only question was who would score, Reeves or Williams, and it
:00:04. > :00:11.was Williams. Barnsley drop to the bottom four.
:00:12. > :00:18.Donny may have sensed it wouldn't be their day when this regulation catch
:00:19. > :00:25.by Steer ended his participation after only half an hour. A hip
:00:26. > :00:33.problem saw him replaced by Marosi. To add insult to that injury,
:00:34. > :00:41.Walsall took the lead. Baxendale put them behind with his first goal of
:00:42. > :00:47.the season. The Sadler's doubled their lead 12 minutes into the
:00:48. > :00:52.second-half. Bradshaw got the fifth goal of the season. No sign of the
:00:53. > :01:00.Doncaster that pushed Fulham all the way in Tuesday's League Cup match.
:01:01. > :01:04.Forde completed the comfortable win who enjoyed their second victory in
:01:05. > :01:18.10 League and Cup matches. It's a little too early to talk of
:01:19. > :01:34.must-win games. The meeting of the bottom two increased the chance to
:01:35. > :01:38.improve fortunes. Walters turned provider for Leigh who could not
:01:39. > :01:47.have gone closer to opening the scoring. Colchester went in front.
:01:48. > :01:52.Good work out wide by Watt, Sears got his fifth goal in eight matches.
:01:53. > :01:57.Within another 10 minutes they put Crewe to the sword with two more
:01:58. > :02:03.goals. 19-year-old substitute Healey had come on for his debut nine
:02:04. > :02:09.minutes earlier raced through to make it 2-0. He was again involved
:02:10. > :02:20.four minutes later as a teasing ball was turned in by Watt for the third.
:02:21. > :02:26.The U's out of the bottom four, Alex rooted to the bottom of the
:02:27. > :02:31.available. The worse result Crewe fans could have feared for with a
:02:32. > :02:36.team just above them in the table. Three goals in 11 minutes is that a
:02:37. > :02:41.reflection of the mental fragility for some of those players? Young
:02:42. > :02:45.players. Yeah? I think so. I watched the extended edit of this game. Up
:02:46. > :02:49.until the goal they concede, the first goal, they played well. Three
:02:50. > :02:53.or four good chances. Not just the chance they had, the manner in which
:02:54. > :02:58.they created them. Everything about Crewe, the one-touch football, the
:02:59. > :03:02.movement. They conceded they started to chase the game and lost
:03:03. > :03:05.discipline. Conceded again. The third goal, completely killed them
:03:06. > :03:11.off. There are some postives. There are things to take from the game.
:03:12. > :03:16.Losing 3-0 to a team directly above you, considering you are bottom of
:03:17. > :03:22.the league, isn't ideal. Colchester made a good start. Three clean
:03:23. > :03:27.sheets in four. Has done well? He is. Not huge pressure on Colchester
:03:28. > :03:31.at this level. It's to stay in the league will be their first brief.
:03:32. > :03:36.Even that was starting to be questionable. That was on form we
:03:37. > :03:43.have seen so are far. The manager turned that around. Fresh face and
:03:44. > :03:49.things are looking up. Resilience shown earlier by Oldham. They came
:03:50. > :03:57.back twice. Eventful few days for Lee Johnston. This was a good win.
:03:58. > :04:02.They have strung together a good sequence of results. He was
:04:03. > :04:07.appealing for patience from the fans not so long ago. Stick with us, we
:04:08. > :04:08.will turn it around. Give us time. It will be OK. He was right.
:04:09. > :04:13.Unbeaten in seven. Time to find out how League Two
:04:14. > :04:16.unfolded, and having described Bury's win over Burton last week
:04:17. > :04:18.as "breathtaking", could David Flitcroft maintain his side's lead
:04:19. > :04:36.at the top - away to an Exeter side COMMENTATOR: For Bury this game had
:04:37. > :04:46.banana skin written all over it, once Grimes had bent in this opener.
:04:47. > :04:54.Bury didn't slip up as such, they found Exeter in determined mood. Pym
:04:55. > :05:01.denied Lowe and equaliser. The young goalkeeper will be disapoined about
:05:02. > :05:07.the leveller. Soares effort eluded the teenager. Bury were on top. A
:05:08. > :05:16.few weeks ago Exeter might have wilted. They stood firm, as did Pym,
:05:17. > :05:19.he made up with his mistake by preventing a Bennett own-goal.
:05:20. > :05:30.Exeter held on before getting a winner later on. Keohane got the
:05:31. > :05:40.goal. They end Bury's eighting match unbeaten run. Bury will feel they
:05:41. > :05:44.were deserving of at least a draw. We had a good team effort. Played
:05:45. > :05:48.our game really well. The game, probably the hour back, back 1-1.
:05:49. > :05:52.They were getting on top. We managed to pull it round. I think we
:05:53. > :05:59.deserved our goal in the last 20 minutes. We finished stronger. Nine
:06:00. > :06:08.goals conceded in losing their last three games. Burton needed to get
:06:09. > :06:12.back on the winning trail. Beavon struck this 20-yarder, 11 minutes
:06:13. > :06:18.before the break. It was the only goal of a tight encounter against
:06:19. > :06:24.Cheltenham. Their only moment of concern was self inflicted.
:06:25. > :06:28.McLaughlan nearly paying a heavy price for a lapse in concentration.
:06:29. > :06:35.Cheltenham's forwards, who scored one in five games now, unable to get
:06:36. > :06:44.a touch on Vaughan's cross in the dying moments. Burton are back on
:06:45. > :06:52.top of the table. Cambridge went for broke, fired up at the start of both
:06:53. > :06:56.halves to make things difficult. Dunk rolled his effort wide of the
:06:57. > :07:08.mark after the break. A moment they will regret. Wycombe went closer.
:07:09. > :07:12.Hayes has plied his trade at nine different clubs. His third in four
:07:13. > :07:23.games happened to complete a century of league goals. A hard-earned
:07:24. > :07:28.personal milestone and winner. Both clubs were in high spirits. Southend
:07:29. > :07:45.had had won their last three and threatening top spot. Shrewsbury had
:07:46. > :08:03.won in the Cup. Coulthirst scored for Southend. Akpa-Akpro teased the
:08:04. > :08:07.woodwork. With this looking like another fruitless trip, Mangan
:08:08. > :08:13.picked up a second yellow card with six minutes of the game remaining.
:08:14. > :08:17.Despite the defeat, Shrewsbury remain in the play-off places as do
:08:18. > :08:29.Southend who keep up the pressure on the top three. Northampton made the
:08:30. > :08:37.stronger start and would have been in front, but they fired straight at
:08:38. > :08:44.Roche. They were behind again when Tony rose to beat the keeper --
:08:45. > :08:49.Toney. Chris Wilder reckoned this was his sides best win of the
:08:50. > :09:00.season. This header was tipped over by Archer. Northampton up to fifth.
:09:01. > :09:04.The form book went out of the window in Stevenage, they went 2-1 up
:09:05. > :09:11.against Mansfield within five minutes. They were still taking
:09:12. > :09:17.their seats when Whelpdale got the opener. Nobody could keep up with
:09:18. > :09:20.Lee as he drove into the box and finished from Beardsley's pass.
:09:21. > :09:27.Mansfield, five minutes late forework. Strangely, the Stags had
:09:28. > :09:33.the better of the first half. Not that it did much good. They hit the
:09:34. > :09:40.woodwork and this rebound was as good as it got. Having started well,
:09:41. > :09:50.Stevenage started strongly too. 83 minutes on the clock, Whelpdale got
:09:51. > :09:56.his fourth goal of the season. Frank Lampard was in no mood to celebrate
:09:57. > :10:00.last week, Yakubu was delighted when his header gave Newport the lead
:10:01. > :10:09.against his former club, Wimbledon. It was two goals from Pigott that
:10:10. > :10:14.put the issue beyond the Don's reach. The boss praised their
:10:15. > :10:21.partnership for helping to broker the loan deal. 20-year-old striker
:10:22. > :10:24.made it 3-0 midway through the half. Displaying neat foot work. A
:10:25. > :10:34.deflection off Barrett helped his cause. Wimbledon had won their
:10:35. > :10:38.previous two without conceding. When Akinfenwa put away his fourth goal
:10:39. > :10:45.in three games you felt they could stage a comeback. It failed to
:10:46. > :10:51.materialise. O'Connor put the gap on a tremendous home performance. Their
:10:52. > :10:52.biggest win since they hammered Accrington by the same scoreline on
:10:53. > :11:10.the first day of last season. This fixture had finished goalless
:11:11. > :11:16.the last two times it was staged. Portsmouth had the better chances.
:11:17. > :11:23.Flinders off his line to thwart Westcarr. The home side had an
:11:24. > :11:34.opportunity to break the deadlock. This miss-hit fell for Charlie Wyke.
:11:35. > :11:39.Accrington were hoping the second homecoming of manager John Coleman
:11:40. > :11:42.might produce another goal fest like last week. Naismith found a way
:11:43. > :11:46.through after 13 minutes their hopes were raised further. In light of the
:11:47. > :11:50.fact that Plymouth enjoyed the lion's share of the possession,
:11:51. > :11:55.Stanley worked hard to preserve their lead. Thomas almost able to
:11:56. > :12:01.enhance his 20th birthday celebrations. McCormack was alert to
:12:02. > :12:09.the danger posed by O'Sullivan, who couldn't add to his debut double at
:12:10. > :12:13.Northampton. Meller was denied by Nicky Hunt who ensured Accrington
:12:14. > :12:26.held on for a fourth win in five matches. 9,000 in the crowd were
:12:27. > :12:38.soon celebrating with Wilkinson's header. The ball ran kindly for
:12:39. > :12:45.Ppanzu. Oxford could ill afford to make life tougher for themselves.
:12:46. > :12:51.Hylton's arm did exactly that. The referee awarded the penalty.
:12:52. > :12:58.Howells' spot-kick was well saved by Long. He adjusted his feet quickly
:12:59. > :13:01.to put away the rebound. Is Luton extended their unbeaten run to four
:13:02. > :13:08.games, in which they haven't concede. That defensive record
:13:09. > :13:17.remained intact as Barnett headed straight at Mark Tyler. A first home
:13:18. > :13:23.game for Keith Curl, he found the Carlisle training schedule from
:13:24. > :13:32.1974. Good old fashioned wing play led to their first chance. Brough
:13:33. > :13:40.rattled the woodwork. There was a debut for Hanford. He made this fine
:13:41. > :13:47.save from Richards. Maybe finding that document from the '70s was an
:13:48. > :13:54.omen. Amoo secured their first win of the season. A long-awaited first
:13:55. > :13:57.maximum in 16 league matches. I interest taken over the football
:13:58. > :14:01.that is fragile. The players needed that win am they needed belief in
:14:02. > :14:06.themselves. We know where we are. Bottom of the league, four points
:14:07. > :14:13.adrift. The players needed that performance, as well as the result.
:14:14. > :14:15.That gives us something to build on. Before the weekend Dagenham had
:14:16. > :14:22.picked up most of their points away from home. After York striker
:14:23. > :14:27.Coulson fired an early shot wide the Daggers produced the move of the
:14:28. > :14:35.match to take the lead. #k45i78 bergs showing pace and compose sures
:14:36. > :14:38.down the lef -- compos sures -- Chambers.
:14:39. > :14:47.The result was wrapped up past the hour by Labadie. Dagenham jump above
:14:48. > :15:04.their opponents in the table. for Keith Curle, the first win of
:15:05. > :15:09.the season. On an unwanted record has come to an end finally for them.
:15:10. > :15:15.And hopefully you would think they can start to turn things around.
:15:16. > :15:20.Every time I look at Carlisle's situation, I think of the Jimmy
:15:21. > :15:24.Glass moment. It is a big club that level, they should be doing better.
:15:25. > :15:30.Wycombe have made an absolutely sensational start. They are almost
:15:31. > :15:36.halfway to the points tally they achieved last season, and we are not
:15:37. > :15:40.even into October. It is fantastic. Gareth has learned a lesson from
:15:41. > :15:47.last year. They played some great stuff, just didn't quite have that
:15:48. > :15:53.cutting edge. There are willing to keep the ball, take responsibility.
:15:54. > :15:56.Paul Hayes might just found the answer. That is his 100th league
:15:57. > :16:04.goal of his career, a fantastic achievement. And for Southend, four
:16:05. > :16:08.wins out of four sees them pushing up the table, and all thanks to that
:16:09. > :16:16.lucky shirt that Tim Brown was talking about! He must have bigger
:16:17. > :16:24.neck muscles than I have in my arms to make that header! They are feast
:16:25. > :16:32.or famine, Sheffield United. They either can't win, or they blow
:16:33. > :16:41.everyone away. It is apparently a lucky shirt, they have won four
:16:42. > :16:46.games since winning it. It was apparently all-white, and 75% off!
:16:47. > :16:48.Lets have a look at the table. Norwich are the new leaders as the
:16:49. > :18:05.comeback specialist won 3-1. OK, we'll have to leave it there for
:18:06. > :18:13.another week. But the usual reminder before we go that MOTD2 will round
:18:14. > :18:17.up the BBC One.
:18:18. > :18:19.Football League, at 23.50 on One.
:18:20. > :19:11.again. Hope to see you next week. Bye for now.
:19:12. > :19:14.You do not involve yourself in the lives of the locals.
:19:15. > :19:18.If you've got intelligence, we need to tell James.
:19:19. > :19:21.Either they're luring us in or something else is going to happen.
