MORRIS IS THE MAN FOR HURST
HERO OF THE WEEK
Carlton Morris. a goal and an assist from the 21-year- old shrewsbury player ensured Paul Hurst’s side beat Gillingham 2-1. the win keeps them level on points with Peterborough at the top of the table. it was a shrewd move getting him on loan from norwich.
ZERO OF THE WEEK
at 33, Jimmy abdou should know better. But a minute after Wimbledon had gone behind at Blackpool he flew in two-footed on Callum Cooke. a red card for the midfielder on loan from Millwall. the Dons never recovered, losing 1-0.
GOAL OF THE WEEK
Callum Brittain. the MK Dons academy graduate scored his first senior goal to earn his side a 1-1 draw against oxford. He cut in from the right and bent the ball from the edge of the area into the far corner.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
John Sheridan. after referee ross Joyce had sent off ousmane Fane with the score at 2- 2 in oldham’s 4-3 defeat by Charlton, the defeated manager said: ‘the referee has ruined the game… He was booking people just to make up for his mistakes in the end. it’s ridiculous. His record for bookings is ridiculous. it wasn’t a sending off and it has totally ruined the game for us, as i firmly believe we would have gone on to win.’
STAT OF THE WEEK
Since the start of last season, only Harry Kane has scored more hat-tricks (four) than Bradford City striker Charlie Wyke (two) in english football. Wyke’s treble sank Bristol rovers 3-1 to move the Bantams up into the play-off places.
