Swindon Town 3 Burnley 1

Paolo Di Canio's classy underdogs swept Burnley aside to keep his cup dream going.

Swindon boss Di Canio's League One Swindon knocked out Championship leaders Brighton in the first round and followed that up with a shock win at Premier League team Stoke. 

Di Canio has said he hopes to lead his team out at Old Trafford and they had definitely had no problem dealing with Championship side Burnley.

Paul Benson grabbed the first in the 19th minute.

Defender Jay McEveley whipped in a cross from the left and Benson pounced at the far post to bury his third of the season from eight yards.

Swindon doubled the lead three minutes before the break.

Canada international central defender David Edgar lost the ball to Tommy Miller forty yards out and the midfielder fed striker Andy Williams who raced into the box and slotted in his third goal in three games from twelve yards.

Central defender Troy Archibald-Henville sealed the win with his first goal for the club in the 83rd minute when he nodded in a McEveley right wing free kick at the far post.

Former Swindon hitman Charlie Austin had pulled one back for Burnley in the 74th minute.

Austin scored 37 goals in 58 games at the County Ground and looked Burnley's only real threat.

Substitute Sam Vokes played the ball into the box and Austin rounded keeper to tap in his tenth of the season from three yards.

Danish keeper Brian Jensen spared Burnley's blushes with two excellent second half saves.

In the 59th minute Jensen saved with his feet from midfielder Alan Navarro and seven minutes later palmed away an eight yard header from Williams.

Burnley's best spell came in the first nine minutes and Austin was in the thick of it.

Brian Stock stepped over fellow midfielder Ross Wallace's corner in the third minute and Austin fired a low shot just wide.

Four minutes later McEveley stretched to clear off the line after Austin got his head to another Wallace corner. 

In the ninth minute Austin flicked the ball on to Chris McCann, but the midfielder was ruled offside after putting the ball in the net.

Di Canio was delighted to knock out a team from a higher league for the eighth time since taking over at the County Ground and said:

"If we play our football we don't need to worry about any club in the country. The team did well. My football is expensive in terms of energy and today they ran at the right time and in the right way.

We are fit and train hard. I told the players to keep going. With hard work, energy and desire we'll have lots of smiles this year and maybe a big laugh.

I'll take Manchester United away next. We might lose 6-0, but if there is one chance in a million, I'd like to make history for this club."

Burnley boss Eddie Howe said:

"We wanted to win and we're hugely disappointed not to be in the hat.

We're so inconsistent at the moment. The ability of the squad isn't in doubt, but we've got to use it.

Their first goal knocked our confidence and then they were in the ascendency."

Bristol Rovers 0 Fleetwood Town 0

Neil Etheridge can finally add a league debut to his THIRTY-SEVEN international caps.

Enfield-born keeper Etheridge, 22, has signed a one month loan deal from Fulham and kept a clean sheet in his first Rovers appearance, but he has already notched up a good deal of experience playing for the Phillipines.

Former Chelsea youth prospect Etheridge explained:

"My mum is Filipino which allows me to qualify and I've played in some pretty big fixtures for them since I was eighteen.

We played two semi finals of the South East Asian Cup in Jakarta against Indonesia in 2010 because we didn't have the facilities in the Phillipines at that time. There were 85,000 at the first leg and 100,000 in the second leg. Our support was just family and friends - about ten people!

There aren't many stadiums anywhere that can hold those numbers. It was frightening, but a great experience."

Etheridge was supported in his debut by best pal, injured Manchester United and England defender Chris Smalling, but Etheridge said:

"People take different paths in life, this is mine and I'll take it. I was on the bench for the majority of last season with Fulham. The season before I had slight knock backs with injuries. Now is the time to go out on loan to gain experience and I'll grab it with both hands to help Bristol Rovers as much as I can."

Opposite number Scott Davies shut out Rovers with three great second half saves as Fleetwood continued their good form following promotion from the Conference last term.

One minute after the break Davies blocked striker David Clarkson's powerful twelve yard drive with his feet and five minutes later pushed away midfielder Oliver Norburn's shot at the near post.

In the 64th minute Clarkson was denied again.

German-born winger Fabian Broghammer teed up the former Bristol City hitman from the left, but Davies produced the pick of the bunch when he palmed away Clarkson's shot from  just inside the box.

Fleetwood were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty in the 53rd minute when midfielder Matt Gill seemed to handle, but referee waved away protests after discussing the claims with his assistant.

Striker Andy Mangan had the first effort of the game in the fifth minute, but his 25 yard shot  just cleared the Rovers bar.

And Broghammer came close to breaking the deadlock twice in one first half minute.

Broghammer nodded a cross from fellow winger one yard wide of the far post in the 16th minute and then curled a shot onto the roof of the Fleetwood net from the edge of the box. 

Rovers chief Mark McGhee was delighted with his team's defensive performance, but said:

“That's the first bit of luck we've had this season and Gilly was delighted. It was a strange one because the linesman had has flag up and we assumed there must have been a push or something, but the referee eventually gave a throw in.

If there is any criticism it will be in the forward department where we were not able to score a goal. We will try and do business before next week and try and get someone who will help us put the ball in the back of the net."

Fleetwood manager Micky Mellon was happy with Davies's role in the draw and said:

"He's developing into one of the best keepers in the league.

If you said to me before the game that we'd take a point off Bristol Rovers, I'd have taken it."

A tale of two keepers ...

Cheltenham Town 1 Southend United 3

Sean Clohessy is laying foundations for a promotion push - and planning to build a life after football.

Southend full back Clohessy, 25, drilled home an equaliser just before the break and said:

"We shot ourselves in the foot last season when we should have gone up, but that experience has motivated us all to do it this time."

Clohessy started out in Arsenal's youth team before drifting into non-league with Salisbury City and he revealed:

"My girlfriend has a good job and at one point I thought she'd end up having to keep me! I seriously wondered if I'd make it in the game.

Fortunately I got another chance with Southend a couple of years ago, but it does make you think and I'm now considering getting some building qualifications so I have something to fall back on in the future."

Cheltenham winger Jermaine McGlashan opened the scoring in the 15th minute, but striker Britt Assombalonga nodded the Shrimpers ahead four minutes after the break.

Central defender Mark Phillips, 30, headed home Kevan Hurst's 52nd minute free kick to seal the win and then said:

"I was good to get off the mark. I got eight last season and I'm looking to beat that this season, but the real aim has to be promotion. No-one's talked about us as promotion favourites, but we fancy our chances."

Paul Sturrock had to change tactics to cope with Cheltenham and said:

"These days you need to move players about like you're playing Subbuteo. Once we got the the equaliser we got ourselves into decent positions on the pitch and I thought the boy Hurst was outstanding."

Cheltenham manager Mark Yates said:

"We unhappy with the start we've made and the reality is we've conceded three goals at home again, but it's up to me to put that right and I will."

Wycombe Wanderers 1 Cheltenham Town 1

Shaun Harrad spared the blushes of team mate Keith Lowe as Cheltenham claimed a deserved point.

Striker Harrad pulled the Robins level from the spot in the 38th minute.

Stuart Lewis tripped fellow midfielder Marlon Pack in the box and Harrad netted his fourth goal in five league games since joining the club on loan from Bury in the summer. Harrad then revealed:

"Marlon fancied it, but I've just had my best ever start to the season and now got four in five games. I wouldn't let go of the ball and so he just gave me a friendly shove and told me not to miss. I wasn't going to."

And Harrad admitted that since joining the Robins on a season long loan from Bury His confidence has returned. He said:

"I'm the sort of player who needs a run of games to feel good and show what I can do. The gaffer is giving me those games"

But the unfortunate Lowe had gifted Wycombe the lead in only the third minute with soft own goal.

Winger Joel Grant sent in a low cross from the right and central defender Lowe put the ball into his own net from eight yards when he should have cleared the danger easily.

Lowe's clanger stirred the Robins into life and Nikki Bull was the busier keeper in the first half.

In the eleventh minute Bull shut out a glanced header from Harrad and less than one minute later blocked winger Jermaine McGlashan with his feet.

One minute a before half time Lowe had a chance to make amends, but deflected a shot from team mate Darren Carter high over the bar - something he'll wish  he'd done at the other end!.

Harrad came close to netting a brace four minutes after the break when he fired over from 20 yards after being teed up by Kaid Mohamed.

And substitute Jeff Goulding should have won the game for Cheltenham in injury time, but he volleyed Billy Jones corner high from ten yards. 

Delighted Cheltenham boss Mark Yates said:

"We gifted a calamitous goal, but we got there action we wanted. We knocked it about superbly."

Wycombe's squad has been hit by injuries, but new striker Jo Kuffour, 30, was more than happy to play through the pain barrier and said:

"I spent the summer keeping fit in my local gym in the park hoping for a new club. It was about ten days ago that I trained with the lads for the first time and I started cramping up after only 35 minutes. There was no way I was coming off. I just love playing football and so when you get the chance, you take it." 

Manager Gary Waddock was missing six first team players and said:

"I'm sure if any other manager was missing that many, they'd find it difficult as well. The players deserve a lot of credit for digging in against a very good side."

Walsall 2 Brentford 2

Clayton Donaldson knocked the stuffing out of Walsall - and the wind out of a snapper.

Moroccan Farid El Alagui headed the ball across the face of goal in the 90th minute and co-striker Donaldson nodded in his fourth goal in five games at the far post.

Bees striker Donaldson, 28, revealed:

"Our local paper's photographer has been asking me to run towards him when I score, but I didn't see him and I ran straight over him. He'll have got a good close up!"

Midfielder Jonathan Douglas pulled one back when he controlled the ball with his chest in the edge of the box before volleying in his first of the season in the 86th minute and Donaldson, 28, admitted:

"We'd both missed a few chances and so when I scored the first thing I did was look to the linesman to make sure he had his flag down. I thought I was bound to be offside the way things were going.

I'm pleased the way the season has started though. I usually start slowly, but that's four goals in four games so far and so things are looking good."

George Bowerman had taken just a minute to help put Walsall two goals ahead.

In the 28th minute Bowerman raced onto a pass from defender Andy Taylor before cutting in from the left wing to feed winger Jamie Paterson who drilled in his first of the campaign from close to the penalty spot.

Bowerman then helped himself to his second of the season in the 29th minute.

Local lad Bowerman out-muscled central defender Tony Craig and left him on his backside before hitting a low shot past helpless keeper Simon Moore from 14 yards and said:

"The experts tipped us for relegation, but that's just motivated us to prove them wrong."

But the Bees had dominated before Peterson's opener.

Douglas glanced a header over from the edge of the box in the eighteenth minute and Donaldson blew a gilt-edged chance when he failed to connect properly from fourteen yards one minute later.

El Alagui came close in the 70th minute, but the summer signing from Falkirk saw his shot hit the bar from twelve yards.

Brentford boss Uwe Rosler said:

"I'm happy with the fight back. We showed character, but overall I'm not happy with the point. We gifted them two goals. Credit to them for the fightback but overall I am not happy with a point. I didn’t say much at half time. I just told them all to go out and turn it round. Sometimes players have to take responsibility themselves."

Saddlers manager Dean Smith admitted:

"When we went two goals up it looked as though we would run away with the game. We didn't want half time to come. It allowed our visitors to regroup. I'm disappointed because we've let a two goal lead slip, but we have to take positives from the game. We're a young team still and maybe that played a part."

Bristol City 4 Cardiff City 2

Sam Baldock sealed his move from West Ham with a debut goal - and extra shifts of training.

Substitue Baldock, 23, made the move from Premier League outfit for £1.1 million last week and announced his arrival with the Robins's fourth goal in the 87th minute. He then revealed:

"We've got a striker's club where we all come down to the training ground early to do a bit of extra finishing and get some friendly competition going. We have five top drawer strikers who are used to playing week in, week out or who have come to play more first team football like myself. Whoever's not stepping up their game will be dragged on by the others. 

The wide players come along to cross the ball and help us out, but they don't have to fetch them as they all end up in the back of the net!"

And Baldock dismissed any talk of the transfer being a backward step. He said:

"People may see me as moving down from West Ham, but I'm not a Premier League player. I've never played in the Premier League so I've not taken a step down. It's a move that will help me continue my personal development and we can continue our development as a club."

Baldock could have grabbed a hat trick after coming on in the 64th minute, but he hit the side netting with his first touch and six minutes later his shot rebounded off the post for Martyn Woolford to knock in his second of the game.

Ryan Taylor, 24, slotted in City's opener after a clever dummy from co-striker Jon Stead in the 32nd minute and Stead's defence splitting pass set up Woolford's first in injury time before the break.

Winger Woolford, 26, has already bagged three goals this season and admitted his confidence has grown now that he knows he figures in boss Derek McInnes's plans. 

McInnes took over at Ashton Gate last October and has used the summer to rebuild his squad. Woolford revealed:

"He reassured me that he had kept the players he wanted to work with and so you know that you have as much chance as anyone else. It's then down to had work.

It also gives you extra confidence when you look around the team and you see the quality we have."

Substitute Joe Mason gave Cardiff hope when he nodded in twelve minutes after the break and former QPR striker Heidar Helguson pegged another goal back five minutes before Baldock wrapped things up.

Both sides came close in the first half.

In the 14th minute Cardiff playmaker Whittingham tested former team mate Tom Heaton from 22 yards, but the keeper - who joined the Robins in the summer - dived to beat away the fierce goal-bound shot.

And two minutes later, Woolford linked up Stead to tee up Adomah who fired wide from 14 yards.

Seven minutes before the break Iceland midfielder came close to scoring for the visitors but saw his header from a Whittingham corner bounce up on to the bar before being punched clear by Heaton.

McInnes was delighted with the result and said:

"It was always going to be a big ask to make sure we won the game, but we certainly did that with a bit of polish."

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay was disappointed with his team's defensive performance and said:

"We gave away possession cheaply in dangerous areas and too many of my dependable players were below par. You can carry one or two in that situation, but when it's three or four you'll always be up against it."

My clipping from this morning's paper

Bristol City v Cardiff City

I'm off to Ashton Gate for the first time this season tomorrow for this early kick off (13:00) and it looks as though both managers have had a busy time of it.

City boss Derek McInnes starts his first full season (assuming he's allowed it through of course!) and he's made some mouth watering additions to the squad.

Earlier in the week he managed to persuade highly rated striker Sam Baldock to join the cause. Baldock first caught the eye when playing for MK Dons, but suffered an injury after moving to West Ham which set him back last season. Ironically, the signing of former City favourite, Nicky Maynard, moved him further down the pecking order in East London and so he may have a point to prove with this fresh start.

McInnes also signed Cardiff keeper Tom Heaton from Cardiff, a lad who I rate and first saw when he turned out for Swindon on loan from Manchester United. The tussle between him and Dean Gerken should be a good one this season although - with one week to go before the transfer window closes - it will also be interesting to see whether Gerken stays to fight for the number one jersey or decides enough is enough after being second choice behind David James for the last couple of campaigns.

Other new faces include experienced defender Mark Wilson, 32, from Celtic, ex-Forest midfielder Paul Anderson, 24, left back Greg Cunningham, 21, from Premier League champions Manchester City and attacking left-sided player Steve Davies, 24, from Derby.

And the City boss has told the Bristol Evening Post that there is more "business to be done"!

Winger Tommy Smith, 32, is posed to become Cardiff's third summer signing from QPR today according to reports. He will join front mam Heidar Helguson and defender Matthew Connolly.

The three Loftus Road recruits join several other new boys signed by Malky Mackay during the break ... and one old boy.

Malkay has brought in a mixture of youth and experience in an effort to finally get the Bluebirds out of the Championship. 

Filip Kiss, 21 - a Slovakia U-21 - England U-21 Jordan Mutch, 20, and South Korean international Kim Bo-Kyung, 22, have been signed to bolster the midfield options while Slovenia international Etien Velikonja, 23, is one to watch for up front along with a shy, retiring and little known youngster, Craig Bellamy, 33.

It is touch and go whether Mutch will make tomorrow's starting eleven after picking up a knock to his foot in Tuesday's scoreless draw away to Brighton, but Mackay will be hoping that his team can chalk up another clean sheet in his absence ... and find the net again after registering one one goal - the first day win against Huddersfield - in the first two league games.

Meanwhile, McInnes will be hoping for more of the same at the Gate after Tuesday's 4-1 mauling of Palace. He told the City website today:

"The performance on Tuesday shows what can be done. It was a real positive, energetic performance. Regardless of the opposition we must make sure we reach those levels again. We were excellent on the night and the players should take great confidence going into the Cardiff game. However, it will be easily forgotten if we lose on Saturday. (see more here: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2898736,00.html?)

Wycombe Wanderers 0 Gillingham 1

Myles Weston tortured and teased Wycombe before setting up the winner for ten man Gills.

Classy Weston's pace and trickery had caused Wycombe problems all evening and the man of the match had a hand in full back Joe Martin's 55th minute strike.

Weston hit fellow winger Chris Whelpdale's short free kick against the post from 25 yards and Martin pounced to bury the rebound from close in with keeper Nikki Bull stranded.

But Gillingham were forced to cling on when central defender Tom Flanagan was shown a red card from the 78th minute after picking up a second booking.

Bull had kept Wycombe's hopes alive.

Gillingham substitute Charlie Allen nearly grabbed a goal with his first touch less than two minutes after coming on at half time, but Bull stood firm to beat away his ten yard shot.

In the 67th minute Bull was forced to dive to his left to save a blistering 25 yard shot from midfielder Charlie Lee.

And when Bull was left flat-footed four minutes later, Whelpdale could only steer Weston's left wing cross wide of goal at the far post.

Bull was also involved as both sides had chances to open the scoring before the break.

Weston left two defenders on their backsides in the 21st minute before sprinting in on goal from half way only to see Bull block his shot from twelve yards.  

And Bull again had to be alert again three minutes before the break when he was called on to back-peddle and tip over a mis-hit cross from Martin that was dipping under his bar.

Wycombe's £500,000 rated striker Stuart Beavon had the first sniff of goal in the seventh minute, but his volley from the edge of the box just cleared the bar.

Beavon is being linked with a move to either Preston, Millwall or Brentford following his 25 goal haul for the Chairboys last term.

In the thirteenth minute winger Sam Wood wriggled past two defenders on the edge of the Gillingham box, but curled his shot narrowly wide.

Gillingham boss Martin Allen was delighted with his players and said:

"I thought we did okay in the first half and then took it to another level in the second half. It was always going to be a hard game. Gary's teams always have a go.

Everyone was fully committed and so fair play to all of the players. They all care and we're not carrying any passengers. They all know their jobs and when they do them they're hard to break down.

It was fantastic to score in front of our own fans. They sang their hearts out all game and we've seen in the Olympics that when fans get behind their team they find another gear."

Disappointed Wycombe manager Gary Waddock admitted:

"We didn't play well enough in the second half to get something from the game and we should've scored in the first half when we were on top.

Gillingham were the better side, particularly in the second half.

We'll dust ourselves down and go again on Saturday. Hopefully we can put this one behind us. We'll bounce back."

Wycombe v Gillingham

I'm off to Adams Park for the first time this season to see their opening home league fixture against Gillingham.

Like Wycombe, the Gills are fancied for promotion, although I think both teams will have their work cut out in the season ahead as Northampton, Oxford, Bristol Rovers, Torquay, Plymouth, Aldershot, Cheltenham and a handful of other sides will certainly be in the mix come May.

However, if I wasn't tight with my money, the Chairboys are certainly a side I'd risk a small bet on as they have the experience under boss Gary Waddock and have also retained the bulk of their League One squad while adding a few useful faces.

Gary Doherty has now signed a permanent deal after a loan stint in which he impressed last term and fellow defender Sam Wood was a key player in Brentford's promotion push a couple of seasons back.

Waddock has also signed more 'experience' in the form of striker Richard Logan and midfielder Matt Spring who has often played well when I have seen him playing for Orient.

Wycombe's season won't be determined on whether hot shot striker Stuart Beavon stays or goes, but I'm sure that Waddock would like the situation sorted out sooner rather than later so he can bring in a replacement if necessary.

The transfer window closes in ten days and reports have a price tag of somewhere between £350-500k being put on Beavon's head. If that is true, someone is going to get a bargain in my opinion and the clubs currently showing an interest are apparently Preston, Millwall and Brentford.

Beavon is a natural predator and also puts in a shift for the team. He'll leave some fairly big boots behind for someone to fill.

Gillingham are now managed by the shy, unassuming and softly spoken Martin Allen who has built a name for himself as a very good coach of lower league clubs and a bit of a firefighter - particularly at Barnet where he has had a hand in keeping the club in the league in the last two campaigns.

Allen has picked up a couple of players from former club Notts County in handy keeper Stuart Nelson and midfielder Charlie Allen and also a useful player in Deon Burton.

Former Derby, Pompey (and just about every other club you can name) striker Burton has just returned to these shores following a two year stint playing for Azerbaijan Premier League outfit Gabala under former England and Arsenal skipper Tony Adams.

Burton is 35 years old now, but has bags of experience and will be looking for some silverware before the curtain comes down on a career that has seen him pick up well over fifty caps for Jamaica.

Allen has also brought in striker Ben Strevens who was released by Wycombe in the summer and the Chairboys will be hoping he doesn't return to his former club with a point to prove!

Walsall 0 Doncaster Rovers 3

Dave Cotterill scored a stunner to help get Doncaster's season off to a flier.

Wales winger Cotterill, 24, spotted keeper David Grof off his line in the 26th minute and floated in a wonder goal from 45 yards to leave Walsall shell-shocked before admitting:

"I shanked it, but I'll take it. When I was with Swansea I tried that a few times in games and it never came off.

A few minutes later I spotted him off his line again and so I don't think he'd learned his lesson. It was tempting, but I played a pass instead. If I'd put in a second one like that I don't think he'd have been too happy."

And Wales winger Cotterill, 24, is now looking forward to settling down after playing for seven clubs already in his short career. He said:

"I don't want to be know as a journeyman pro. Hopefully I can now stay at Doncaster for a long time. My family are with me and that's the main thing as I think I'd lose my mind if I didn't see my children every day."

Cotterill was one of eight signings made by boss Dean Saunders following Donny's relegation from the Championship and another new boy set up the fifth minute opener.

Billy Paynter - released by Leeds in the summer - fired in a low, angled shot from the left side of the box and Grof could only palm the ball to co-striker Chris Brown, 27, who prodded in from three yards.

Impressive winger Kyle Bennett settled the game in the 56th minute.

Former Wolves youngster Bennett, 21, drifted in from the left flank and then curled a twenty yard cracker into the far corner of the net to leave the helpless Grof flapping.

Manager - and former Liverpool striker - Dean Saunders has spent time working on Bennett's finishing and the youngster revealed:

"That strike is becoming a bit of a trademark for me. The boss has told me I have a good right foot and to try to use it when I can. 

When someone who has scored as many goals as he did in his career tells you something, you listen. He knows where the net is and does it in training.

Some gaffers try to demo it and can't do it, but he hits the top corner every time he has a shot. He's still got it and even played ten minutes of a pre-season game for us at Cleethorpes. He's been a great influence on me."

With wingers like Bennett and Cotterill in the side and feeding the likes of Brown and Paynter, Doncaster fans have every reason to be optimistic about the season to come, but the squad is a small one and so Saunders and the board will need to add to it.

As Bennett pointed out though, working with someone like Saunders should be a massive attraction to any player worth his salt and Bennett, Cotterill and their mates look to be loving the experience.

Walsall had chances to score themselves, but failed to hit the target.

Winger Ashley Hemmings's goal bound shot from the edge of the box (see video below) deflected away for a corner and midfielders Jamie Paterson and Florent Cuvelier both saw efforts go narrowly wide.

Hemmings goes close(ish)

And Doncaster keeper Gary Woods made sure of a clean sheet when he tipped over a cross from Paterson that threatened to dip under his bar.

Walsall's misery continued when former Manchester United youth prospect Fabien Brandy limped off with a hamstring pull only seven minutes after coming on as a substitute.

The result was a little harsh on the Saddlers and they had more chances, but then again, Donny did a very professional job and were worth the win.

Doncaster manager Saunders was delighted with it and said:

"We've signed players with the right attitude. Attitude first, talent second.

We scored three great goals and could've had a few more. The first goal was brilliant considering the two strikers had never played together before. The second was like Beckham's against Wimbledon."

Walsall chief Dean Smith groaned:

"The second goal was the killer for us. They scored two wonderful goals that would have graced the Championship last season.

It's a bit of a work in progress at the moment, but we'll dust ourselves down, get in the ice baths and recover for a battle against Oldham on Tuesday."
