Well, in almost the blink of an eye, the Skybet Football League played

:00:36.:00:40.

out the final full round of games for September,

:00:41.:00:42.

as the three divisions slowly begin to take shape.

:00:43.:00:44.

On the management front, this week saw Darko Milanic installed as the

:00:45.:00:47.

new Leeds United boss, while Russell Slade finds himself in a curious

:00:48.:00:50.

state of limbo, somewhere between East London and South Wales.

:00:51.:00:54.

Talking of which, Steve's with me to see who managed to raise

:00:55.:00:57.

Having drawn two of their last three games,

:00:58.:01:06.

are there signs that Blackpool may finally be turning a corner?

:01:07.:01:08.

Our featured match today sees the Tangerines welcome promotion

:01:09.:01:11.

contenders Norwich to Bloomfield Road.

:01:12.:01:16.

Unbeaten in the League and leading the title race, Nottingham Forest

:01:17.:01:19.

We've extended highlights from the City Ground as Stuart

:01:20.:01:24.

It's first against second in League One, as leaders Bristol City

:01:25.:01:32.

look to build on a flying start against highly fancied MK Dons.

:01:33.:01:45.

We've another 82 goals for you to enjoy,

:01:46.:01:48.

including five at the Matchroom as Orient began life after Slade.

:01:49.:01:56.

So seemingly, against all the odds, Jose Riga continues to manage

:01:57.:01:59.

Blackpool more than two weeks after Chairman Karl Oyston held

:02:00.:02:01.

But having secured a well deserved point at Brighton

:02:02.:02:05.

last week, how would they fair against Norwich City, one

:02:06.:02:08.

At Bloomfield Road for us was Steve Wyeth.

:02:09.:02:14.

How quickly fortunes can change 12 months ago, Blackpool had started

:02:15.:02:20.

with 17-points from their first eight games. Now they Langish

:02:21.:02:27.

without a win. Instead its visitors Norwich who matched that impressive

:02:28.:02:32.

Blackpool points tally of a year ago. A World Cup representative in

:02:33.:02:42.

Blackpool's mist, a debut for Cubero. There is no shortage of

:02:43.:02:49.

attacking options. Daniel is the only recognised centre-back.

:02:50.:02:55.

Jerome's six goals so far is double Blackpool's collective tally. He

:02:56.:03:02.

spearheads a Norwich Ied side which started their league outing after 11

:03:03.:03:09.

changes in the Cup midweek. Hooiveld joined Blackpool six years ago.

:03:10.:03:17.

Opportunity for Delfouneso. He got his head up, Nathan Delfouneso.

:03:18.:03:24.

Bradley Johnson had little choice, but to bring him to the ground.

:03:25.:03:29.

Blackpool now have a free-kick. This is definitely in a shooting

:03:30.:03:35.

position. McMahon sets his sites. Not a bad one. Ruddy is forced into

:03:36.:03:41.

the game's first save. It was a far from straight-forward one, the

:03:42.:03:43.

Blackpool captain testing him. He will take the resulting corner

:03:44.:03:58.

kick. Ah - brilliant header goalwards from Zoko. Vicious

:03:59.:04:03.

delivery from McHaon. Zoko made the dart. Ruddy, he made that look easy.

:04:04.:04:16.

-- McMahon. Grabban, he will think about doing something special. The

:04:17.:04:21.

deflection takes it just wide. Lewis was wrong-footed. Daniel, got enough

:04:22.:04:25.

on it to turn it wide of the post. That will be a pass back, surely?

:04:26.:04:43.

No. Ruddy allowed to continue. Many of the Blackpool fans thought there

:04:44.:04:47.

was enough intent on the ball back to the goalkeeper that that should

:04:48.:04:56.

have been an indirect free-kick. Tettey turns towards the Blackpool

:04:57.:05:04.

goal. Sight of goal for Grabban. He is well, well off target. He's

:05:05.:05:11.

waited 43 minutes, Lewis Grabban for his first sight of the Blackpool net

:05:12.:05:15.

it. Was a swift counter-attack that presented him with a chance. He had

:05:16.:05:20.

plenty to aim at. Couldn't add to his five goals so far this season.

:05:21.:05:31.

It's Blackpool with the early opportunity. A wonderful save from

:05:32.:05:40.

Ruddy. On the rend bound, it's in. It's Nathan Delfouneso with a goal

:05:41.:05:43.

to give everybody at Bloomfield Road a lift. Once again, they caught

:05:44.:05:52.

Norwich napping in midfield. Perkins leading the charge. Whilst Miller

:05:53.:05:57.

couldn't take his chance, boy did Delfouneso take his. Blackpool 1,

:05:58.:06:02.

Norwich 0. Hoolahan and Redmond standing over

:06:03.:06:14.

the free-kick. Hoolahan. Well-worked, Grabban. He was hoping

:06:15.:06:20.

to pick out a team-mate. Instead he found Lundstram, to turn it behind.

:06:21.:06:30.

Redmond in once more. It's off Daniel this time and in. An

:06:31.:06:40.

equaliser for Norwich. I'm not sure how much they knew about it,

:06:41.:06:44.

Norwich. They've got themselves back into it. Redmond's delivery was a

:06:45.:06:50.

good one. Donovan Daniel could do nothing more than to help it on into

:06:51.:06:53.

the back of the net. -- Donovan Daniels. Redmond. Another

:06:54.:07:06.

good delivery from him. Lewis is forced into a save. Very nearly

:07:07.:07:09.

Norwich turned 1-0 down into 2-1 up. She will be hoping, once again, the

:07:10.:07:20.

club that she oversees can turn around a game that they were losing

:07:21.:07:23.

around turn it into three-points. Brilliantly won for Ranger. Ranger

:07:24.:07:38.

is there again. Miller was denied at the last. Just as he looks to get

:07:39.:07:46.

his first Blackpool goal. He shrugged off Turner. Hooiveld was

:07:47.:07:53.

there is to help out his defensive partner. Perkins against Johnson in

:07:54.:07:59.

the midfield. Hoolahan found that pocket of space once more. Forced

:08:00.:08:04.

Grabban a little while. Support is arriving, in the shape of Redmond,

:08:05.:08:11.

who is urged to shoot. Jerome, you would have absolutely quaranteed he

:08:12.:08:15.

would have turned it in. Somehow it has gone over and behind. What an

:08:16.:08:20.

opportunity for Cameron Jerome. Grabban. Looking for a shooting

:08:21.:08:33.

opportunity. Grabban gets one. A deflection has taken it past Lewis.

:08:34.:08:39.

Once again, Norwich City have come behind to lead in the Championship.

:08:40.:08:43.

Will that be enough for them to claim a sixth win of the season?

:08:44.:08:51.

It's another goal, which came with a helping hand. Lewis Grabban created

:08:52.:08:58.

the opportunity for himself. But, once again, it was Donovan Daniels,

:08:59.:09:03.

the unfortunate player, to get the final touch. Blackpool are 2-1

:09:04.:09:11.

behind to Norwich. Here come Norwich again. Murphy. Oh,

:09:12.:09:30.

that's brilliant. An outstanding goal from the substitute, Josh

:09:31.:09:35.

Murphy. His first Norwich goal, it should wrap up the victory. Norwich

:09:36.:09:42.

City lead at Blackpool, 3-1. Cameron Jerome winning it back. After that,

:09:43.:09:48.

it was all Murphy's own work. Waited for the gap. And waited for the

:09:49.:09:55.

opportunity. The 19-year-old was able to finish beautifully. He is

:09:56.:10:01.

off the mark in Norwich colours. They've seen enough disenchanted

:10:02.:10:06.

now. They are heading for home. We are always very close, but, at the

:10:07.:10:11.

end, the result is not always, but often the same. So it's... Yeah,

:10:12.:10:16.

it's a big frustration for me, for the staff and for the players. I

:10:17.:10:20.

think during one hour we were good. We were looking for good

:10:21.:10:25.

organisation and for good result. We were really in the game. If you want

:10:26.:10:30.

to win the league, you want to get promotion, there are times when it

:10:31.:10:34.

will be all guns blazing, attractive attacking. Crowd on the edge of

:10:35.:10:36.

their seats. Other times it will have to be, we need to get the job

:10:37.:10:40.

done. That is probably what happened today. Another comeback win for

:10:41.:10:48.

Norwich this season. Not their free-flowing best, as Neil

:10:49.:10:50.

mentioned. Solid enough from them? Yeah. I mean they will take the

:10:51.:10:55.

points, obviously. You are almost frightened to score first against

:10:56.:10:58.

them, aren't you? That is when they seem to be at their best, when

:10:59.:11:01.

coming from behind. In the end, they had to work quite hard for that one.

:11:02.:11:09.

They got there. Blackpool certainly had the better chances in the first

:11:10.:11:17.

hour? For an hour they made life difficult for the league leaders.

:11:18.:11:21.

Lack of goals. First goal they have scored in nearly a month. To get out

:11:22.:11:25.

of the situation they are in, you need to win games. Clearly, they are

:11:26.:11:30.

going to need to score more goals. Riga said when you are at the bottom

:11:31.:11:35.

your luck is out. That showed with the two deflected goals. Absolutely.

:11:36.:11:39.

Any arguments about that third goal as far as the Canaries are

:11:40.:11:44.

concerned? Lundstram should have put the ball forward, he doesn't. Murray

:11:45.:11:50.

got one. There is obviously another Blackpool player inside. They would

:11:51.:11:54.

have been happy to show him down-the-line. He opens his body up

:11:55.:11:59.

here, Josh Murphy, sees the gap. A wonderful finish. 20 points from the

:12:00.:12:04.

nirs nine games of the season for Neil Adams at Norwich. The only

:12:05.:12:08.

relegated side to have kept hold of the original manager. Are you

:12:09.:12:12.

surprised how he has done? Four games towards the end of the season,

:12:13.:12:19.

three were difficult. . Difficult to make a judgment call on that. He had

:12:20.:12:24.

to decide who goes and who stays and bring players in to add to those who

:12:25.:12:29.

remain. He has done that well. Blackpool have a Chairman who

:12:30.:12:32.

doesn't believe in paying agents their fees. Doesn't involve them. Is

:12:33.:12:38.

he limiting the club's options unnecessarily? This is a contentious

:12:39.:12:42.

issue throughout the football, not just on this, but other issues, in

:12:43.:12:48.

this particular instance he is sticking to his principles. I

:12:49.:12:57.

understand what he is saying. It limits what is available. .

:12:58.:13:05.

Although Oscar Garcia returned to take training at Watford on Friday,

:13:06.:13:09.

he opted to sit in the director's box as the Hornets

:13:10.:13:12.

Blackpool had most of the possession. Watford were more

:13:13.:13:28.

dangerous. The keeper's home debut proved testing. Vydra made things

:13:29.:13:36.

hard for himself, but he redeemed the situation. Blackpool's afternoon

:13:37.:13:50.

got worse. They scored this fabulous kick. Gestede's header sparked an

:13:51.:13:58.

onslaught that Watford found impossible to resist. This cross set

:13:59.:14:06.

up Tunnicliffe's first senior goal. Cairney was involved in the

:14:07.:14:09.

build-up. He was inches from adding a third. Despite that fruitful first

:14:10.:14:14.

half, Watford were fortunate to escape with a draw.

:14:15.:14:34.

players was first class. The goal after half-time caused is the real

:14:35.:14:35.

problem. Middlesbrough arrived showing no ill

:14:36.:14:46.

effects from their heroics midweek, and they started like a team who had

:14:47.:14:48.

done the double over Charlton last is on. George Friend was just off

:14:49.:14:55.

target with their first chance. Next up was Chelsea loan striker Patrick

:14:56.:14:58.

Bamford in search of his third goal in three games. Then Spanish striker

:14:59.:15:07.

kite Kek the goalkeeper on his toes. Then Adomah's week got worse, and

:15:08.:15:30.

missed penalty on Wednesday and a red card on Saturday. That was the

:15:31.:15:34.

cue for Charlton to step up, and they were almost rewarded in

:15:35.:15:41.

stoppage time. Substitute Laurie Wilson had his moment of Corrie

:15:42.:15:46.

dashed by the keeper's legs. Then from the corner, the ball found its

:15:47.:15:49.

way to Wiggins, but still Charlton couldn't force a winner. We push

:15:50.:15:57.

them in the second half and tried to score the goal. That is what we

:15:58.:16:03.

would like to do at the last three games against Watford, Wolves and

:16:04.:16:06.

Rotherham, we get three points and are still unbeaten. But today it was

:16:07.:16:11.

the other way around. We were the best team and we created enough

:16:12.:16:18.

chances to win. With prospective new boss Russell

:16:19.:16:21.

Slade watching from the stands, Scott Young and Danny Gabbidon took

:16:22.:16:25.

charge of Cardiff for the third time hoping for a first win. They made

:16:26.:16:28.

nine changes from the cup defeat against Bournemouth, but Wednesday,

:16:29.:16:37.

who shipped seven goals at Man City, almost got an early goal. Then Aron

:16:38.:16:45.

Gunnarsson's header came on Jones's folly. Sean Morrison opened the

:16:46.:16:53.

scoring with his first goal in a Cardiff shirt.

:16:54.:17:00.

Morrison's second goal in a Cardiff shirt and third of the season was to

:17:01.:17:05.

follow five minutes after the break. But this time, I'm afraid, wrong

:17:06.:17:15.

end. One apiece, and Wednesday sensing they could win their third

:17:16.:17:20.

league game in a row. May again came close. Anthony Pilkington forced

:17:21.:17:27.

westward into a cracking reflex save, and just two minutes after

:17:28.:17:30.

that, Cardiff were allowed to play some head tennis in the Wednesday

:17:31.:17:38.

area. And Elkington does finally score his first for Cardiff for

:17:39.:17:43.

their first win since August. Winning breeds confidence, so it is

:17:44.:17:51.

important to put some wins together. I am sure the lads are

:17:52.:17:59.

feeling good at present. We didn't defend our ox well enough. Credit to

:18:00.:18:05.

Cardiff, but we have to do better in a good position.

:18:06.:18:08.

In almost two years in charge at Monroe, Mick McCarthy had never seen

:18:09.:18:16.

his players win four games in succession, but against Rotherham,

:18:17.:18:24.

they seized the opportunity. Visiting goalkeeper Scott Loach

:18:25.:18:26.

quickly called into action against the club he left in the summer,

:18:27.:18:31.

denying Darren Murphy. But the number nine didn't have to wait much

:18:32.:18:39.

longer. And the lead soon doubled. David McGoldrick showing wine Mick

:18:40.:18:47.

McCarthy reckons he is one of the championship's top strikers. Jordan

:18:48.:18:56.

Bowery's header showed that they had no plans for a meek surrender.

:18:57.:19:00.

Gradually they took control, although Frazer Richardson's header

:19:01.:19:08.

back almost finish them off. The rest of the match was far from

:19:09.:19:13.

comfortable for Ipswich. Easy enough that time to deal with Paul Green's

:19:14.:19:19.

header, but the deflected free kick posed a few more problems.

:19:20.:19:23.

Richardson was unable to make the rebound count, and Ipswich were

:19:24.:19:28.

victorious again. It was a perfect start. Heaven knows what happened

:19:29.:19:35.

after that. You have to give Rotherham credit, they played well.

:19:36.:19:46.

I thought we showed fantastic character not to give up after going

:19:47.:19:51.

2-0 down in the first five or six minutes. Steve Evans feels his side

:19:52.:19:56.

should lapse of got more out of that contest at Portman Road. Four wins

:19:57.:20:07.

in a row for Mick McCarthy's team. Murphy, McGoldric, both of them on

:20:08.:20:10.

the scoresheet. They could have a good partnership this season. They

:20:11.:20:12.

could. They are both decent players. He is

:20:13.:20:22.

still a threat up front and complain through the middle. We know that he

:20:23.:20:26.

could have been the difference between Ipswich get in the play-offs

:20:27.:20:32.

last year and not. When you consider they were talking about ?10 million,

:20:33.:20:36.

that shows what sort of player they have got. Without him, I wouldn't

:20:37.:20:42.

say they were much of a muchness, but they fall into a category of a

:20:43.:20:47.

lot of other sides. With him, it just takes them out of that ranging

:20:48.:20:51.

gives them a little extra. When you are in temporary charge, you have to

:20:52.:21:00.

hit the ground running. It was a good result against a good Sheffield

:21:01.:21:05.

Wednesday. It was. We know the result that Sheffield Wednesday had

:21:06.:21:08.

in the week, but it had no bearing on this game. They are a tough side

:21:09.:21:14.

to play against, they have had a good start, Sheffield Wednesday, and

:21:15.:21:15.

this is an excellent result. Ultimately, that was a good finish.

:21:16.:21:29.

Blackburn showed some real guts earlier. 2-0 down against Watford,

:21:30.:21:33.

to draw 2-2. Look at this overlap. When you have

:21:34.:21:43.

a player who is left footed on the right-hand side, there is place down

:21:44.:21:50.

the line, and it was a wonderful ball in, as well. And a player with

:21:51.:21:54.

a lot of confidence at the moment after a few goals. Having given

:21:55.:21:59.

Spurs a fright in the Capital One Cup this week, it was back to

:22:00.:22:05.

championship business for Nottingham Forest.

:22:06.:22:07.

Stuart Pearce made 8 changes from that cup defeat with star

:22:08.:22:11.

players Lansbury, Antonio and Assombalonga all returning.

:22:12.:22:13.

Sami Hyypia made seven changes from their midweek cup win with

:22:14.:22:15.

Stockdale, Dunk, LuaLua and Mackail-Smith the only survivors.

:22:16.:22:16.

Paul Walker describes the action. Brighton without a win in their last

:22:17.:22:27.

four league matches, Sami Hyypia hoping that that winning the cup

:22:28.:22:35.

will spur them on. Here is LuaLua. That was dangerous. Good hands from

:22:36.:22:44.

the goalkeeper. That was really whipped in with venom.

:22:45.:22:55.

Assombalonga, Osbourne. Still with the German. He ghosted into a great

:22:56.:23:04.

position there. And that deflects away, and

:23:05.:23:30.

Stockdale had to be sharp. Great effort, and look at that for a

:23:31.:23:37.

save. That was almost an own goal! That

:23:38.:24:01.

was close. He has the woodwork to thank for sparing his blushes.

:24:02.:24:12.

And look at and it over on the left. And Bennett has got round the back.

:24:13.:24:20.

Mackail-Smith is waiting. Sami Hyypia had his head in his

:24:21.:24:33.

hands. Look at that. Mikael Smith was begging for it. It is going to

:24:34.:24:38.

need a bit of magic to separate these two. Ince with the clearance,

:24:39.:24:59.

and they have conceded a free kick. Dunc just holding on to the back of

:25:00.:25:06.

Assombalonga. Beyond Wilson and wide.

:25:07.:25:14.

It was lifted in. Wilson couldn't make contact, and the referee is

:25:15.:25:30.

playing advantage here. Trying to get Mackail-Smith in. A great

:25:31.:25:39.

chance. The ball in to him was excellent. He takes it early,

:25:40.:25:41.

unlucky. And space has opened up now. Lifted

:25:42.:25:54.

in towards Paterson, Bruno couldn't get it. Assombalonga is waiting in

:25:55.:25:56.

the middle. That was poor. That went off Bennett, I think, for

:25:57.:26:14.

a corner. Are we in for some late drama, I wonder? Neither side

:26:15.:26:22.

deserved to lose it from here. And that was over the bar. He looks to

:26:23.:26:32.

the heavens just like his manager. He has a free header here, Dan into

:26:33.:26:37.

the turf and up over the bar. Even the manager was heading one home. It

:26:38.:26:46.

was a clear header which we probably should have buried, but you take 1-0

:26:47.:26:51.

and move on. For us to stay in the top six, we will have to show a

:26:52.:26:55.

level of consistency that probably we haven't showed today, I don't

:26:56.:26:59.

think. Certainly defensively we are pretty resolute. That is pleasing.

:27:00.:27:11.

In the second half, with better luck, we maybe could have got the

:27:12.:27:16.

win, but we need to work on things that we understand the game better,

:27:17.:27:20.

and will keep creating more and better chances to score. Despite no

:27:21.:27:27.

goals, Forest continue their run in the league. Slight sound of

:27:28.:27:31.

frustration from both managers there. How would you reflect on that

:27:32.:27:36.

game? The build-up was better than the final, that is where both sides

:27:37.:27:42.

lacked a bit of quality. They played decent football at times, but like

:27:43.:27:48.

you say, that little bit of quality at the end for both sides was

:27:49.:27:52.

lacking. This is the centre-half coming forward, and nobody, but

:27:53.:27:57.

nobody, has got anywhere near him. As he drifted to the area, no one

:27:58.:28:02.

has picked him up at all. That is your archetypal too much time. I

:28:03.:28:10.

think it hits him almost in the face, and he goes down. As for

:28:11.:28:18.

Brighton, they worryingly didn't create too many chances, but there

:28:19.:28:24.

was one, Mackail-Smith. I don't know whether he will be disappointed not.

:28:25.:28:29.

The keeper gets his angles right, so you get the feeling that even if he

:28:30.:28:32.

had got that on target, it would have been saved. But it is good to

:28:33.:28:39.

see him back with a bit of fitness. Nottingham Forest have lost that

:28:40.:28:41.

fear is that we know they can deliver with their front man. But

:28:42.:28:46.

for Brighton, that is five Lancs in eight or nine games, a worrying

:28:47.:28:57.

stat. -- five blanks. And then you go, hold on, what do we do about

:28:58.:29:01.

this? You will only go down the road for so long, and then you have got

:29:02.:29:05.

to do something. The most worrying thing is is if they were missing

:29:06.:29:09.

lots of chances, you would think, that will change, but they are not

:29:10.:29:10.

creating them. As for the rest of the Championship,

:29:11.:29:17.

with just one win in eight, Bolton were desperately after a result

:29:18.:29:19.

at home to Derby who despite just one defeat so far were yet to reach

:29:20.:29:21.

the standards they set last season. COMMENTATOR: Home advantage counted

:29:22.:29:35.

for little as Derby threatened any feel good factor after barely eight

:29:36.:29:42.

minutes. Brighton's charge into the area led to the referee awarding a

:29:43.:29:49.

penalty. Lonergan was too good for Martin. Events proved that wasn't

:29:50.:29:54.

the case all afternoon. Bolton drew heart from that let-off and Joe

:29:55.:29:58.

Mason almost gave them the lead minutes later. Derby got into their

:29:59.:30:04.

stride. Just before half-time, Richard Keogh sent Christie away.

:30:05.:30:08.

Bolton were opened up. Martin was ready and waiting. This time,

:30:09.:30:17.

Lonergan had no answer. 1-0 became 2-0 after the restart. Bryson won

:30:18.:30:28.

the ball, Martin did the rest. You never know, they could get a goal.

:30:29.:30:33.

The last time we had this at Blackburn a goal of weeks ago. It

:30:34.:30:42.

was mayhem. We didn't want that situation today. We controlled the

:30:43.:30:46.

game well and deserved the win. I picked a team today and tried it and

:30:47.:30:53.

got it horribly wrong. I have to look at my performance and take the

:30:54.:30:56.

responsibility from it. Saying that, we can't keep on committing football

:30:57.:31:00.

suicide week in and week out, as I think we did today. A chance for

:31:01.:31:12.

Silvestri to impress the new boss, a double save from Judge and Odubajo.

:31:13.:31:29.

. Leeds were less impressive. Tarkowski has taken over penalties.

:31:30.:31:33.

I wonder for how long. Have a look at some terrific passing from

:31:34.:31:45.

Brentford. The ball finds its way to the Spanish summer signing. His

:31:46.:31:51.

first goal straight out of the Barcelona manual. Brentford were

:31:52.:31:54.

given the freedom of the United area. They were queueing up to make

:31:55.:32:01.

it 2-0. McCormack with the shot over the bar. McCormack hadn't scored

:32:02.:32:06.

from March. Leeds almost invited him to have another go. Backing off and

:32:07.:32:10.

backing off. That sealed a much-needed victory for Brentford

:32:11.:32:18.

after two defeats in a row. Good performance, great character from

:32:19.:32:21.

the players. After a tough week away. We knew the threat they

:32:22.:32:26.

imposed. New manager, I'm sure they were keen to impress. We were good

:32:27.:32:32.

today in parts. I knew that home team is very good. They play

:32:33.:32:41.

aggressive football. We have some troubles with aggressive football.

:32:42.:32:47.

With the football they are playing. It had been a long time since

:32:48.:32:54.

Huddersfield fans went home with a spring in their step. Wells found

:32:55.:32:59.

the net with a flourish the roar was long and loud. The first goal they

:33:00.:33:03.

had scored in three matches was cancelled out within four minutes.

:33:04.:33:09.

Upson, on target for the first time for the Lions. The Londoners needed

:33:10.:33:13.

that. Keen to make last week's goalless draw with Forest a turning

:33:14.:33:17.

point as they sought a second win in seven. . Wells got the chance to

:33:18.:33:30.

take the glory. Not just manager Powell's first victory. It would be

:33:31.:33:34.

Huddersfield's first home success since the beginning of march.

:33:35.:33:52.

Millwall left empty handed. The boys look flat. Can I explain it? Did

:33:53.:33:56.

they mean it? Probably not. I thought it was a good display from

:33:57.:34:01.

the players. Really well earnt. My first win as manager. My fourth

:34:02.:34:06.

match. Yeah, good day all round for us. Winning away twice in the last

:34:07.:34:14.

week had raised home expectations. Bournemouth didn't disappoint.

:34:15.:34:18.

Wigan's defence only just cleared this cross. Kermorgant's follow up

:34:19.:34:26.

needed Carson at his most alert. Surman started their key move,

:34:27.:34:34.

Ritchie made the move. Kermorgant got his second goal of the season.

:34:35.:34:38.

Bournemouth's second goal arrived in the second-half from an unlikely

:34:39.:34:42.

force. Simon Francis started the build-up. Wilson provided the dummy.

:34:43.:34:47.

No holding Francis. Only his third Bournemouth goal in three years. The

:34:48.:34:51.

referee felt the full force of Wigan's frustration. Wilson's quick

:34:52.:34:56.

thinking almost made it 3-0 from this corner. Carson with help from

:34:57.:35:02.

Barnett saved the day. Wigan kept pressing. Boruc was equal to this

:35:03.:35:15.

shot. . We scored a tremendous second goal and put the game to bed.

:35:16.:35:23.

Disappointed and embarrassed. Words to my Chairman, words to my

:35:24.:35:27.

supporters that we in the moment can't deliver better results. Partly

:35:28.:35:34.

to blame for Fulham's dismal start to life in the Championship has been

:35:35.:35:41.

giving the ball away cheaply. Cotterill almost made them pay early

:35:42.:35:45.

on. Fulham played eight, lost seven, drawn one before this in the

:35:46.:35:51.

Championship's bottom side almost went behind with a corner. Grounds

:35:52.:35:56.

with a header just over. 37 minutes gone, Fulham often precious little

:35:57.:36:00.

resistance, the optimistic few who travelled from the Thames must have

:36:01.:36:05.

feared the worse when Cotterill gave Birmingham a deserved lead with a

:36:06.:36:09.

belter. His first for the Blues having scored against them last

:36:10.:36:16.

season. Shea came on for City at half-time and would have made an

:36:17.:36:33.

impact but for Bettinelli. A shot makes it is way towards goal and

:36:34.:36:42.

Hoogland scored his third of the season. Rodallega with plenty to do.

:36:43.:36:50.

Fulham's second goal in eight minutes. Kit Symons, second win in

:36:51.:36:56.

four days. The three games under my tenure they have done really, really

:36:57.:37:01.

well. Albeit, we seem to be able to play in one half of a game. We seem

:37:02.:37:06.

to play very, very well. If we can get it crack where we play well for

:37:07.:37:12.

both halves, we will be doing OK. Conceded a goal 1-1. All right. Not

:37:13.:37:16.

good, but not the end of the world. Still got to have a fight back in

:37:17.:37:22.

us. We just seem to go and do our own thing after that and go away

:37:23.:37:25.

from the gameplan and become very nervy. They had to do it the hard

:37:26.:37:32.

way with that come back win at St Andrews. Well done to Fulham. Huge

:37:33.:37:40.

relief I'm sure. It doesn't get much better for kit Symons winning two

:37:41.:37:45.

out of three? Making the most of it and enjoying his time. He is the

:37:46.:37:49.

only person who can smile and talk at the same time. Nice guy. Doesn't

:37:50.:37:55.

hurt when the good guys win. We wish him well. What about Rodallega on

:37:56.:38:04.

the scoresheet. They have had quality players but exiled at their

:38:05.:38:07.

cost? What is the point in marginalising. If you want to get

:38:08.:38:11.

rid of them, make that clear. If it doesn't happen you have to bring

:38:12.:38:14.

them back into the fold. They are good players. Kit saying by doing

:38:15.:38:22.

what he did he galvanised everybody. It brings everybody together and

:38:23.:38:26.

pulling in the same direction. Birmingham with an unwanted

:38:27.:38:29.

milestone? It took a while to work it out. One win in 23. 23 home

:38:30.:38:35.

games. A full season, you have won one game. That isn't good enough. It

:38:36.:38:38.

has to change change will find themselves in another dog fight like

:38:39.:38:47.

they were last year. Huddersfield fans celebrating a long away win.

:38:48.:38:53.

Wells getting two goals. Only a couple of days ago they got Holt on

:38:54.:38:59.

board? They did. With Wells he is a player that hasn't played at this

:39:00.:39:04.

level. Learning how to get used to this sort of level. I think he will

:39:05.:39:07.

be, that is a good signing, particularly for someone like him.

:39:08.:39:10.

James Vaughan has been out for a while. In and out of the side with

:39:11.:39:14.

injuries and stuff like that. Likes to play with the big men, Wells did

:39:15.:39:22.

it well at Bradford. It is better to come for the team and Wells as well.

:39:23.:39:29.

Leeds came unstuck at Brentford. A great win for Brentford. 10-points

:39:30.:39:35.

out of 12. Before they changed manager, they have lost momentum or

:39:36.:39:39.

the danger is of that happening? It's either that or coincidence. You

:39:40.:39:45.

do get the feeling - it's such a dramatic effect, Neil Redfern you

:39:46.:39:50.

getting a feeling from the Leeds perspective, the answer is under

:39:51.:39:54.

your nose they haven't overlooked it because you do think, maybe that was

:39:55.:39:57.

an opportunity missed with Neil red fern. What did you make of the

:39:58.:40:04.

Leeds' owner being amongst the away fans at Brentford? Each to their

:40:05.:40:10.

own, isn't it? We have seen some Chairman and Presidents, shall we

:40:11.:40:14.

say, do strange things. I wouldn't imagine he will do this every week.

:40:15.:40:20.

I think... If you are a Chairman or, you should be sat really in the

:40:21.:40:24.

place where everybody expects you to sit. As I said, he is trying to

:40:25.:40:28.

connect with the fans, I would imagine.

:40:29.:40:33.

No doubting the game of the day in League One.

:40:34.:40:35.

Five points clear of second placed visitors MK Dons,

:40:36.:40:38.

Bristol City have enjoyed a blistering start to the season

:40:39.:40:40.

Clem takes up the story at a club that's undergoing a transformation

:40:41.:40:43.

There may be a clearer view than normal of the tower block used as

:40:44.:41:01.

Nelson Mandela's house in Only Fools And Horses, Bristol City's owner is

:41:02.:41:07.

in a different league to Del Boy and Rodney. As Steve Cotterill chases

:41:08.:41:16.

his own fourth promotion as 20 years as a manager, Steve Lansdown sits

:41:17.:41:22.

1067th in the Forbes list of world billionaires. And, they are spending

:41:23.:41:29.

?45 million of his fortune on creating a state-of-the-art, home of

:41:30.:41:34.

the future for Bristol City. I can't get over the last time we were here,

:41:35.:41:38.

10 or 11 months ago, the place was really on a down. What a

:41:39.:41:43.

transformation? Away. Steve Cotterill coming in and doing what

:41:44.:41:48.

he did. He kept us safe last year. Enthusiasm back into the place.

:41:49.:41:50.

Discipline into the place. Brought everybody up with imhad. That has

:41:51.:41:54.

been great. We got off to a fantastic start this season. You

:41:55.:42:00.

were quite clear from the off what the objective is this season. Which

:42:01.:42:03.

is to win this league? Yeah. For sure. No point hiding from it and

:42:04.:42:10.

being scared of it. That is what we want to do. At this moment we are

:42:11.:42:14.

doing OK. The season doesn't finish tonight. If it did, we would be

:42:15.:42:18.

celebrating now, don't worry about it. When you have wealth like yours

:42:19.:42:24.

do you have to manage the perception on how people interact with the

:42:25.:42:27.

football club? The hardest word is no. You want to do everything to

:42:28.:42:30.

make the club successful. You have to stand back and say, I'm wealthy

:42:31.:42:34.

and prepared to invest in this football, not at any price. People

:42:35.:42:37.

have to come across with a proper business case, if you like, for what

:42:38.:42:44.

they want to spend. It will be your fifth promotion, is there something

:42:45.:42:48.

you can smell in the dressing room that is imlard to doing it the other

:42:49.:42:54.

four times? A good team spirit and a set of lad with good attitudes. We

:42:55.:42:58.

have it here. We work hard for each other. When we have been promoted

:42:59.:43:03.

those are the things. It's a topsy-turvy world being a football

:43:04.:43:11.

manager. For sure. Success in the past, working for Harry and his

:43:12.:43:14.

coach. You are in your flow and element again? Thankful to Harry for

:43:15.:43:18.

giving me that opportunity to go back out on the training field. At

:43:19.:43:21.

the end of the day, it's very difficult when you have been a

:43:22.:43:25.

manager to be a coach. All the time and do a good job, anyway. I think

:43:26.:43:29.

that, when you are in charge and when you have been a manager, next

:43:30.:43:33.

season, apart from a couple of interuption, I have been at it for

:43:34.:43:38.

20 years much I must be doing something right somewhere along the

:43:39.:43:42.

way. COMMENTATOR: there were goals right

:43:43.:43:48.

from the start. Agard is responsible for almost a quarter of Bristol

:43:49.:43:51.

City's tally this season. He needed four minutes to make his mark on

:43:52.:43:57.

this game. Agard has made a flying start to his Robins' career. City

:43:58.:44:06.

were awarded a penalty. The Dons didn't like the decision. They liked

:44:07.:44:10.

it even less when Agard smashed in his fifth goal in his last four

:44:11.:44:31.

games. Bowditch pulled one back. On 73 minutes, disaster struck for City

:44:32.:44:39.

and Wade Elliott. The League One leaders had thrown away a two-goal

:44:40.:44:41.

lead for the second week in a row. Valente hero in about 40 seconds. I

:44:42.:45:16.

don't think I had the best afternoon, to be honest. -- villain

:45:17.:45:29.

to hero. It is goes to show what you can do under pressure. This has the

:45:30.:45:36.

makings of a very famous season. Though yes, I think you can sense it

:45:37.:45:42.

from the crowd. There is a feeling around the club, it is a good vibe.

:45:43.:45:49.

Ever since that Hull KR file, Bristol City have been in steady

:45:50.:45:55.

decline. There is a real bars around Ashton Gate. -- buzz. If anybody

:45:56.:46:09.

deserves the success they get now, it is them. And what a turnaround

:46:10.:46:17.

for Steve Cotterill. It is incredible. They have not changed

:46:18.:46:25.

their side of the last six, so he knows what he has got. You don't

:46:26.:46:29.

want to change something that isn't broken. I like the way that he has

:46:30.:46:34.

gone about his business saying that we are in this to win this, and that

:46:35.:46:44.

breeds confidence among the players. Staying with League 1, few would

:46:45.:46:47.

have predicted how it would turn out for Leyton Orient. Six games into

:46:48.:46:52.

the new season, manager Russell Slade was threatened with the sack

:46:53.:46:55.

am only to resign 11 days later after being refused a chance to talk

:46:56.:47:00.

to managerless Cardiff. This is what the fans thought of it all as they

:47:01.:47:01.

prepared to meet Rochdale. The way Russell Slade has been

:47:02.:47:11.

treated is disgraceful. No manager deserves that, no owners in the park

:47:12.:47:15.

of ever behaved the way that they have. I'm disappointed, because I

:47:16.:47:21.

thought he could do it good job for us this year. I really hope that

:47:22.:47:26.

they had worked it out. This could be the right move for Leyton

:47:27.:47:30.

Orient, but not for Russell Slade. The club is too big for him. Russell

:47:31.:47:36.

Slade's departure cast a long shadow over the club. Matt Done was allowed

:47:37.:47:42.

space and time before unleashing one of the shots of the day, his seventh

:47:43.:47:48.

goal of the season. Kevin Nugent in his third spell as caretaker will be

:47:49.:47:52.

in courage by his team's response. They were level nine minutes later.

:47:53.:48:00.

Orient then had the chance to go ahead again.

:48:01.:48:06.

They had a penalty, and Rochdale were reduced to ten men after the

:48:07.:48:16.

defender was sent off. But the penalty was saved by Conrad Logan,

:48:17.:48:21.

and the opportunity went begging. Rochdale then suffered again.

:48:22.:48:29.

2-1, the home side well set for a morale boosting win? Wrong. Three

:48:30.:48:36.

minutes after half-time, Rochdale were level. Peter Vincenti's finish

:48:37.:48:44.

meant more furrowed brows in east London. Then Stephen Dawson sent the

:48:45.:48:53.

ball in, and as in the first half, so in the second. Orient slipped

:48:54.:49:00.

closer to the bottom four. Even when Shane Lowry's header beat Logan

:49:01.:49:04.

later on, Ian Henderson was on the line to clear. Tough times at

:49:05.:49:13.

Brisbane Road. It has been a difficult week. It has been tough.

:49:14.:49:18.

The second half there didn't make it easier for us. Win has been hard to

:49:19.:49:27.

come by in recent weeks for Peter Brant Fleetwood.

:49:28.:49:34.

It was the first-ever competitive meeting of these two clubs. But

:49:35.:49:38.

midway through the second half, Conor McLaughlin came close to

:49:39.:49:46.

settling them, only to be denied by the agile Ben Alnwick in the Posh

:49:47.:49:49.

goal. This challenge failed to escape the

:49:50.:50:00.

attentions of the referee, leading to a dismissal. We have to learn

:50:01.:50:11.

that we will get punished for the slightest thing, and that is what

:50:12.:50:14.

happened today, but we should have been leading by that point. We have

:50:15.:50:19.

to look at it as a group. They knew the importance of the result today.

:50:20.:50:24.

That is always the main thing. It was closely followed for me by the

:50:25.:50:29.

performance. We know how we can play, but we got the win, and that

:50:30.:50:30.

was important. Notts County boss Shaun Derry was

:50:31.:50:40.

delighted with the character shown by his players. The young defender

:50:41.:50:50.

was clearly in the mood, his next effort millimetres away from

:50:51.:50:52.

doubling the lead before Nicky Wroe was denied on the follow-up. But the

:50:53.:50:57.

second half saw a powerful response from Chesterfield, and it was a

:50:58.:51:04.

shade too high before the loose ball was fired across goal by banks. But

:51:05.:51:12.

the next time they ventured forward, the header was buried just under the

:51:13.:51:16.

bar. It was turning into a really entertaining contest, and the

:51:17.:51:20.

Magpies substitute nearly won it later on. But his overhead was

:51:21.:51:30.

cleared away. Defeat would have been very harsh on The Spireites. Port

:51:31.:51:41.

Vale had lost six in a row, and started brightly at Bradford. There

:51:42.:51:47.

was a controversial penalty awarded for a handball. Chris Lines

:51:48.:51:52.

converted his first goal for a year, and it didn't go down well with the

:51:53.:52:01.

home fans. This did, Mark Yeates finding the top corner, his first

:52:02.:52:06.

goal for a year. Bradford's last home win was on the opening day of

:52:07.:52:09.

the season, Gary Liddle almost scored a special goal to end that

:52:10.:52:11.

run, but 1-1, it finished. Preston are back contract. Bailey

:52:12.:52:21.

Wright's header was a sign of things to come at Coventry. Tom Clarke

:52:22.:52:28.

nudging North end in the direction of back-to-back wins. A penalty was

:52:29.:52:42.

one here, and no argument about the foul.

:52:43.:52:53.

I thought from start to finish we controlled it. We were very

:52:54.:53:01.

disciplined with the ball. The fantastic work ethic, and the game

:53:02.:53:06.

plan was executed really well. After a period of some good results, we

:53:07.:53:10.

have had three disappointing results, and now it is up to us to

:53:11.:53:13.

show the character to get through this. None of the previous ten

:53:14.:53:19.

league meetings between these two have produced a home win, and the

:53:20.:53:22.

trend looked like continuing when for all their possession as chances,

:53:23.:53:27.

Shefford United and in this case Mark McNulty couldn't find a way

:53:28.:53:29.

through the stubborn Gelling on defence. The Blades had no fewer

:53:30.:53:36.

than 27 shots, but even the woodwork was proving hard to avoid. So it was

:53:37.:53:41.

a shock when Gelling themselves to cheat Luke Norris -- Gillingham

:53:42.:53:55.

substitute Luke Norris found the goal. But they managed to equalise.

:53:56.:54:02.

Then in the dying seconds, Jamie Murphy went on a one-man rescue

:54:03.:54:07.

mission, weaving his way through the defence for a dramatic winner in the

:54:08.:54:08.

seventh minute of added time. I am just disappointed that the boys

:54:09.:54:20.

have got nothing, because they couldn't have worked any harder, and

:54:21.:54:23.

the lateness of the goal was disappointing. We were still

:54:24.:54:28.

pressing for the winner, and we scored some important late goals, so

:54:29.:54:34.

I think it will be a feature if we are going to succeed, we will have

:54:35.:54:38.

to sometimes do that. It was almost written in the stars,

:54:39.:54:42.

Sheffield United celebrating 125 years since their first game, and

:54:43.:54:46.

they couldn't have left their eighth win of the season any later. Know,

:54:47.:54:58.

-- somehow they managed to win it in 87 and 90 minutes. After a slow

:54:59.:55:04.

start, they are picking up. Yes, we would have expected that. They are

:55:05.:55:16.

back in contention. Kevin Nugent is in temporary charge Leyton Orient,

:55:17.:55:19.

but what a great comeback formance this was Rochdale with ten men.

:55:20.:55:24.

Fantastic, they have done brilliantly. He has done really

:55:25.:55:36.

well. They started the season a bit slower but have managed to pick up

:55:37.:55:42.

the momentum now and carry it on. They might be the fly in the and

:55:43.:55:46.

went in this division. They have done brilliantly to get up there,

:55:47.:55:49.

they have an awful lot of experience at that level. That it is a

:55:50.:55:55.

fantastic start for them. He has worked his magic set. I know there

:55:56.:56:00.

is a smattering of academy players in that first team squad. But where

:56:01.:56:08.

does it leave Leyton Orient and this air of uncertainty that lingers

:56:09.:56:14.

around them? The strange thing is, they had given him that ultimatum,

:56:15.:56:18.

then they built up some are meant, then summary comes he resigns, then

:56:19.:56:24.

suddenly he is back in the situation where it needs to be resolved and

:56:25.:56:29.

resolved quickly. There is no doubt that that is a very good club to

:56:30.:56:34.

take over, it is a really good club with some excellent players, so you

:56:35.:56:37.

have a really good chance there if you can become manager. The rest of

:56:38.:56:42.

League 1 now, starting with Yeovil who are starting to pick up after a

:56:43.:56:45.

poor start to the new season. They were away to Crawley.

:56:46.:56:53.

Joel Grant is displayed some delightful footwork before netting a

:56:54.:56:58.

great win last weekend against Peterborough. He very nearly put his

:56:59.:57:02.

side in front early on against Crawley. They were searching for

:57:03.:57:07.

back-to-back wins for the first time since December, but this cross had

:57:08.:57:15.

the look of a home banker. Elliott, who had a trial with Yeovil in the

:57:16.:57:19.

summer after being released by Bristol City put the seal on the

:57:20.:57:24.

wing just a few minutes later. He signed a monthly contract with

:57:25.:57:29.

Crawley to stir over a week ago, and now they are in the top half of the

:57:30.:57:32.

table. Terrific stuff from Elliott. Scunthorpe had lost three of their

:57:33.:57:42.

last four matches, but De Vita and Rory Fallon almost announced himself

:57:43.:57:43.

in style. -- Debbie before the match, Russ Wilcox had

:57:44.:58:03.

told his players to watch out for Jonathan Forte. Five goals in seven,

:58:04.:58:07.

so definitely don't let him in their to make it six goals in eight games.

:58:08.:58:16.

Mike Jones was playing his 10th match for his new club, at 25 yards

:58:17.:58:20.

out came close to opening his goal-scoring account.

:58:21.:58:26.

Fallon, who has played everywhere from Plymouth to St Johnstone and

:58:27.:58:31.

all points in between, did not his debut with a goal. His last match

:58:32.:58:36.

was for Crawley in May, but the New Zealander showing he is still sharp.

:58:37.:58:42.

At half-time, Oldham brought on Danny Philliskirk, and 20 minutes

:58:43.:58:47.

later, they were level again. That is his first in 12 matches. He

:58:48.:58:52.

didn't have long to wait for his second, 17 minutes, in fact. The

:58:53.:58:57.

goal to lift Lee Johnson's sides to 10th in the table.

:58:58.:59:07.

Goalless at half-time, this game ran away from Barnsley in the second

:59:08.:59:12.

half will stop once Nathan Byrne received the ball, he had just one

:59:13.:59:17.

aim in mind, the home defence backed off, he kept coming and Swindon had

:59:18.:59:19.

a lead they never looked like losing. Byrne never stop. Barnsley

:59:20.:59:26.

seemed to have no answer to the wave of attacks. Andy Williams almost

:59:27.:59:29.

made it four goals in four games but for Ross Turnbull, but there was

:59:30.:59:33.

only so much he could do before Swindon's dominance played off.

:59:34.:59:40.

Another substitute, Jake Reeves, was eventually in the right place to get

:59:41.:59:44.

his first goal of the season. Seconds later, it got even worse for

:59:45.:59:48.

Danny Wilson's side in front of a disbelieving crowd. Possession was

:59:49.:59:53.

conceded straight from the kick-off, and Michael Smith was on his way.

:59:54.:59:57.

The only question was who would score, Reeves or Williams, and it

:59:58.:00:03.

was Williams. Barnsley drop to the bottom four.

:00:04.:00:11.

Donny may have sensed it wouldn't be their day when this regulation catch

:00:12.:00:18.

by Steer ended his participation after only half an hour. A hip

:00:19.:00:25.

problem saw him replaced by Marosi. To add insult to that injury,

:00:26.:00:33.

Walsall took the lead. Baxendale put them behind with his first goal of

:00:34.:00:41.

the season. The Sadler's doubled their lead 12 minutes into the

:00:42.:00:47.

second-half. Bradshaw got the fifth goal of the season. No sign of the

:00:48.:00:52.

Doncaster that pushed Fulham all the way in Tuesday's League Cup match.

:00:53.:01:00.

Forde completed the comfortable win who enjoyed their second victory in

:01:01.:01:04.

10 League and Cup matches. It's a little too early to talk of

:01:05.:01:18.

must-win games. The meeting of the bottom two increased the chance to

:01:19.:01:34.

improve fortunes. Walters turned provider for Leigh who could not

:01:35.:01:38.

have gone closer to opening the scoring. Colchester went in front.

:01:39.:01:47.

Good work out wide by Watt, Sears got his fifth goal in eight matches.

:01:48.:01:52.

Within another 10 minutes they put Crewe to the sword with two more

:01:53.:01:57.

goals. 19-year-old substitute Healey had come on for his debut nine

:01:58.:02:03.

minutes earlier raced through to make it 2-0. He was again involved

:02:04.:02:09.

four minutes later as a teasing ball was turned in by Watt for the third.

:02:10.:02:20.

The U's out of the bottom four, Alex rooted to the bottom of the

:02:21.:02:26.

available. The worse result Crewe fans could have feared for with a

:02:27.:02:31.

team just above them in the table. Three goals in 11 minutes is that a

:02:32.:02:36.

reflection of the mental fragility for some of those players? Young

:02:37.:02:41.

players. Yeah? I think so. I watched the extended edit of this game. Up

:02:42.:02:45.

until the goal they concede, the first goal, they played well. Three

:02:46.:02:49.

or four good chances. Not just the chance they had, the manner in which

:02:50.:02:53.

they created them. Everything about Crewe, the one-touch football, the

:02:54.:02:58.

movement. They conceded they started to chase the game and lost

:02:59.:03:02.

discipline. Conceded again. The third goal, completely killed them

:03:03.:03:05.

off. There are some postives. There are things to take from the game.

:03:06.:03:11.

Losing 3-0 to a team directly above you, considering you are bottom of

:03:12.:03:16.

the league, isn't ideal. Colchester made a good start. Three clean

:03:17.:03:22.

sheets in four. Has done well? He is. Not huge pressure on Colchester

:03:23.:03:27.

at this level. It's to stay in the league will be their first brief.

:03:28.:03:31.

Even that was starting to be questionable. That was on form we

:03:32.:03:36.

have seen so are far. The manager turned that around. Fresh face and

:03:37.:03:43.

things are looking up. Resilience shown earlier by Oldham. They came

:03:44.:03:49.

back twice. Eventful few days for Lee Johnston. This was a good win.

:03:50.:03:57.

They have strung together a good sequence of results. He was

:03:58.:04:02.

appealing for patience from the fans not so long ago. Stick with us, we

:04:03.:04:07.

will turn it around. Give us time. It will be OK. He was right.

:04:08.:04:08.

Unbeaten in seven. Time to find out how League Two

:04:09.:04:13.

unfolded, and having described Bury's win over Burton last week

:04:14.:04:16.

as "breathtaking", could David Flitcroft maintain his side's lead

:04:17.:04:18.

at the top - away to an Exeter side COMMENTATOR: For Bury this game had

:04:19.:04:36.

banana skin written all over it, once Grimes had bent in this opener.

:04:37.:04:46.

Bury didn't slip up as such, they found Exeter in determined mood. Pym

:04:47.:04:54.

denied Lowe and equaliser. The young goalkeeper will be disapoined about

:04:55.:05:01.

the leveller. Soares effort eluded the teenager. Bury were on top. A

:05:02.:05:07.

few weeks ago Exeter might have wilted. They stood firm, as did Pym,

:05:08.:05:16.

he made up with his mistake by preventing a Bennett own-goal.

:05:17.:05:19.

Exeter held on before getting a winner later on. Keohane got the

:05:20.:05:30.

goal. They end Bury's eighting match unbeaten run. Bury will feel they

:05:31.:05:40.

were deserving of at least a draw. We had a good team effort. Played

:05:41.:05:44.

our game really well. The game, probably the hour back, back 1-1.

:05:45.:05:48.

They were getting on top. We managed to pull it round. I think we

:05:49.:05:52.

deserved our goal in the last 20 minutes. We finished stronger. Nine

:05:53.:05:59.

goals conceded in losing their last three games. Burton needed to get

:06:00.:06:08.

back on the winning trail. Beavon struck this 20-yarder, 11 minutes

:06:09.:06:12.

before the break. It was the only goal of a tight encounter against

:06:13.:06:18.

Cheltenham. Their only moment of concern was self inflicted.

:06:19.:06:24.

McLaughlan nearly paying a heavy price for a lapse in concentration.

:06:25.:06:28.

Cheltenham's forwards, who scored one in five games now, unable to get

:06:29.:06:35.

a touch on Vaughan's cross in the dying moments. Burton are back on

:06:36.:06:44.

top of the table. Cambridge went for broke, fired up at the start of both

:06:45.:06:52.

halves to make things difficult. Dunk rolled his effort wide of the

:06:53.:06:56.

mark after the break. A moment they will regret. Wycombe went closer.

:06:57.:07:08.

Hayes has plied his trade at nine different clubs. His third in four

:07:09.:07:12.

games happened to complete a century of league goals. A hard-earned

:07:13.:07:23.

personal milestone and winner. Both clubs were in high spirits. Southend

:07:24.:07:28.

had had won their last three and threatening top spot. Shrewsbury had

:07:29.:07:45.

won in the Cup. Coulthirst scored for Southend. Akpa-Akpro teased the

:07:46.:08:03.

woodwork. With this looking like another fruitless trip, Mangan

:08:04.:08:07.

picked up a second yellow card with six minutes of the game remaining.

:08:08.:08:13.

Despite the defeat, Shrewsbury remain in the play-off places as do

:08:14.:08:17.

Southend who keep up the pressure on the top three. Northampton made the

:08:18.:08:29.

stronger start and would have been in front, but they fired straight at

:08:30.:08:37.

Roche. They were behind again when Tony rose to beat the keeper --

:08:38.:08:44.

Toney. Chris Wilder reckoned this was his sides best win of the

:08:45.:08:49.

season. This header was tipped over by Archer. Northampton up to fifth.

:08:50.:09:00.

The form book went out of the window in Stevenage, they went 2-1 up

:09:01.:09:04.

against Mansfield within five minutes. They were still taking

:09:05.:09:11.

their seats when Whelpdale got the opener. Nobody could keep up with

:09:12.:09:17.

Lee as he drove into the box and finished from Beardsley's pass.

:09:18.:09:20.

Mansfield, five minutes late forework. Strangely, the Stags had

:09:21.:09:27.

the better of the first half. Not that it did much good. They hit the

:09:28.:09:33.

woodwork and this rebound was as good as it got. Having started well,

:09:34.:09:40.

Stevenage started strongly too. 83 minutes on the clock, Whelpdale got

:09:41.:09:50.

his fourth goal of the season. Frank Lampard was in no mood to celebrate

:09:51.:09:56.

last week, Yakubu was delighted when his header gave Newport the lead

:09:57.:10:00.

against his former club, Wimbledon. It was two goals from Pigott that

:10:01.:10:09.

put the issue beyond the Don's reach. The boss praised their

:10:10.:10:14.

partnership for helping to broker the loan deal. 20-year-old striker

:10:15.:10:21.

made it 3-0 midway through the half. Displaying neat foot work. A

:10:22.:10:24.

deflection off Barrett helped his cause. Wimbledon had won their

:10:25.:10:34.

previous two without conceding. When Akinfenwa put away his fourth goal

:10:35.:10:38.

in three games you felt they could stage a comeback. It failed to

:10:39.:10:45.

materialise. O'Connor put the gap on a tremendous home performance. Their

:10:46.:10:51.

biggest win since they hammered Accrington by the same scoreline on

:10:52.:10:52.

the first day of last season. This fixture had finished goalless

:10:53.:11:10.

the last two times it was staged. Portsmouth had the better chances.

:11:11.:11:16.

Flinders off his line to thwart Westcarr. The home side had an

:11:17.:11:23.

opportunity to break the deadlock. This miss-hit fell for Charlie Wyke.

:11:24.:11:34.

Accrington were hoping the second homecoming of manager John Coleman

:11:35.:11:39.

might produce another goal fest like last week. Naismith found a way

:11:40.:11:42.

through after 13 minutes their hopes were raised further. In light of the

:11:43.:11:46.

fact that Plymouth enjoyed the lion's share of the possession,

:11:47.:11:50.

Stanley worked hard to preserve their lead. Thomas almost able to

:11:51.:11:55.

enhance his 20th birthday celebrations. McCormack was alert to

:11:56.:12:01.

the danger posed by O'Sullivan, who couldn't add to his debut double at

:12:02.:12:09.

Northampton. Meller was denied by Nicky Hunt who ensured Accrington

:12:10.:12:13.

held on for a fourth win in five matches. 9,000 in the crowd were

:12:14.:12:26.

soon celebrating with Wilkinson's header. The ball ran kindly for

:12:27.:12:38.

Ppanzu. Oxford could ill afford to make life tougher for themselves.

:12:39.:12:45.

Hylton's arm did exactly that. The referee awarded the penalty.

:12:46.:12:51.

Howells' spot-kick was well saved by Long. He adjusted his feet quickly

:12:52.:12:58.

to put away the rebound. Is Luton extended their unbeaten run to four

:12:59.:13:01.

games, in which they haven't concede. That defensive record

:13:02.:13:08.

remained intact as Barnett headed straight at Mark Tyler. A first home

:13:09.:13:17.

game for Keith Curl, he found the Carlisle training schedule from

:13:18.:13:23.

1974. Good old fashioned wing play led to their first chance. Brough

:13:24.:13:32.

rattled the woodwork. There was a debut for Hanford. He made this fine

:13:33.:13:40.

save from Richards. Maybe finding that document from the '70s was an

:13:41.:13:47.

omen. Amoo secured their first win of the season. A long-awaited first

:13:48.:13:54.

maximum in 16 league matches. I interest taken over the football

:13:55.:13:57.

that is fragile. The players needed that win am they needed belief in

:13:58.:14:01.

themselves. We know where we are. Bottom of the league, four points

:14:02.:14:06.

adrift. The players needed that performance, as well as the result.

:14:07.:14:13.

That gives us something to build on. Before the weekend Dagenham had

:14:14.:14:15.

picked up most of their points away from home. After York striker

:14:16.:14:22.

Coulson fired an early shot wide the Daggers produced the move of the

:14:23.:14:27.

match to take the lead. #k45i78 bergs showing pace and compose sures

:14:28.:14:35.

down the lef -- compos sures -- Chambers.

:14:36.:14:38.

The result was wrapped up past the hour by Labadie. Dagenham jump above

:14:39.:14:47.

their opponents in the table. for Keith Curle, the first win of

:14:48.:15:04.

the season. On an unwanted record has come to an end finally for them.

:15:05.:15:09.

And hopefully you would think they can start to turn things around.

:15:10.:15:15.

Every time I look at Carlisle's situation, I think of the Jimmy

:15:16.:15:20.

Glass moment. It is a big club that level, they should be doing better.

:15:21.:15:24.

Wycombe have made an absolutely sensational start. They are almost

:15:25.:15:30.

halfway to the points tally they achieved last season, and we are not

:15:31.:15:36.

even into October. It is fantastic. Gareth has learned a lesson from

:15:37.:15:40.

last year. They played some great stuff, just didn't quite have that

:15:41.:15:47.

cutting edge. There are willing to keep the ball, take responsibility.

:15:48.:15:53.

Paul Hayes might just found the answer. That is his 100th league

:15:54.:15:56.

goal of his career, a fantastic achievement. And for Southend, four

:15:57.:16:04.

wins out of four sees them pushing up the table, and all thanks to that

:16:05.:16:08.

lucky shirt that Tim Brown was talking about! He must have bigger

:16:09.:16:16.

neck muscles than I have in my arms to make that header! They are feast

:16:17.:16:24.

or famine, Sheffield United. They either can't win, or they blow

:16:25.:16:32.

everyone away. It is apparently a lucky shirt, they have won four

:16:33.:16:41.

games since winning it. It was apparently all-white, and 75% off!

:16:42.:16:46.

Lets have a look at the table. Norwich are the new leaders as the

:16:47.:16:48.

comeback specialist won 3-1. OK, we'll have to leave it there for

:16:49.:18:05.

another week. But the usual reminder before we go that MOTD2 will round

:18:06.:18:13.

up the BBC One.

:18:14.:18:17.

Football League, at 23.50 on One.

:18:18.:18:19.

again. Hope to see you next week. Bye for now.

:18:20.:19:11.

You do not involve yourself in the lives of the locals.

:19:12.:19:14.

If you've got intelligence, we need to tell James.

:19:15.:19:18.

Either they're luring us in or something else is going to happen.
