WAY WORKS HIS MAGIC AS YEOVIL CLICK

HERO OF THE WEEK

DARREN WAY (Yeovil manager): His side’s 6-0 win at Newport was the biggest of the weekend in English football. Yeovil fans watched open-mouthed as Way’s side destroyed an uncharacteristically weak Newport. It was Yeovil’s biggest win in their Football League history and the biggest away victory in League Two since March 2011, when Lincoln were thrashed 6-0 by Rotherham. It was also Yeovil’s third straight win and moved them up to fifth in the table.

ZEROS OF THE WEEK

MARK BLOWER ( Macclesfield

chairman): This is what happens when you try to run a League Two club on the cheap. When John Askey left to join Shrewsbury in the summer, Blower appointed Mark Yates from non-League Solihull on a three-year deal.

It was a risky move, with Yates having been overlooked for other managerial jobs. His only previous League Two experience saw him sacked by Crawley near the end of the 2015-16 season following six successive defeats.

Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Lincoln means Macclesfield lie second from bottom in the table and are winless in their last 31 league matches.

GOAL OF THE WEEK

FRANK NOUBLE (for Colchester v Cambridge, above):

Nouble scored his first goal for Colchester as they beat Cambridge United 3-0 at home. He raced through the defence after a clever flick by Luke Norris, held off George Taft and finished into the far corner from a tight angle.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

MICHAEL JOLLEY (Grimsby Town manager):

‘We are finding ways to lose games. We’re professional people and we understand that’s not good enough,’ said Jolley after the 3-0 home defeat by Oldham. Jolley is under pressure after four straight defeats which have left the Mariners three points above the relegation zone.

STAT OF THE WEEK

TWO:

Notts County finally ended their losing run by drawing 3-3 with Stevenage at home. It gave them just their second point after eight games.
