LEAGUE TWO THIS WEEKEND
HERO OF THE WEEK
HAVING celebrated his 36th birthday on Thursday, Notts County’s Shola Ameobi is well into veteran territory. The former Newcastle striker says he doesn’t plan on retiring just yet and why would he? His goal set County on their way to a 2-1 win over Barnet and back to the top of the table.
ZERO OF THE WEEK
BACK-TO- BACK defeats for Mansfield boss Steve Evans yet all the while he remains in the running for the Gillingham job. He may soon need the job at Gills the way things are going at Field Mill. CEO Carolyn Radford wants promotion, but there is talk of the players turning against him and after a 3- 1 home defeat by Swindon they sit eight points off the automatic promotion places.
GOAL OF THE WEEK
ADAM McGURK’s left-foot freekick from 20 yards in Morecambe’s 2-0 win at Chesterfield managed to dip and bounce right in front of goalkeeper Joe Anyon.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
‘IT is a great feeling to win a game. It is a problem when you haven’t won a game all season at home and you are going game after game. So, today was a big step.’ Port Vale boss Neil Aspin after a 3-1 victory against Cheltenham, their first home win of the season.
STAT OF THE WEEK
7-1. You all thought Manchester City’s 7- 2 thrashing of Stoke was good. Luton’s 7-1 win over Stevenage, however, was the biggest result of the weekend across England’s top four divisions.
