LEAGUE TWO THIS WEEKEND
HERO OF THE WEEK
MaNsFIELD’s Danny Rose. This was an exceptional performance by the 23-year- old striker in an important fixture against Notts County, who had been unbeaten in 10 games. Rose’s brace set the stags on the way to a 3-1 victory.
ZERO OF THE WEEK
ThE management and players of Crawley and Carlisle. Three red cards. First Carlisle lost Richie Bennett for an elbow on Josh Yorwerth. Tempers flared again near full-time and referee Kevin Johnson sent off Yorwerth and Carlisle’s Tom Parkes. Carlisle won 1-0.
GOAL OF THE WEEK
JONaThaN sMITh (stevenage v Port Vale). The midfielder doesn’t score many so he’ll be proud of this — a right-footer from outside the box that bent across keeper Kelle Roos into the top corner for stevenage’s second goal.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
MaRK COOPER after his rockbottom Forest Green side slumped to their sixth defeat in seven games with a 1-0 loss at home against accrington stanley. ‘I sound like a broken record now, but whatever players have played, we have conceded ridiculous goals, and until that stops, it’s difficult. We have to move on to saturday and have to keep working hard and try to find the right formula.’
STAT OF THE WEEK
EIGhT league games without a win for Chesterfield. One win, two draws and eight defeats all season. Jack Lester, the new boss, has a huge job on his hands. a 2-0 defeat by Cheltenham on saturday won’t have helped.
