LEAGUE ONE

JOHN AKINDE bagged a brace but also saw a penalty saved.

He opened the scoring in the 67th minute, was denied from the spot by goalkeeper Joe Day and then struck in stoppage-time.

He said: “I changed my mind, which you shouldn’t do when taking a pen, but if you miss them you carry on and go again.”

FOREST GREEN 2

Davison 43, Matt 63 pen

JOSH DAVISON and Jamille Matt downed County to lift Rovers to a point off the summit.

On-loan Charlton striker Davison netted just before the break, with ex-newport man Matt wrapping it up via a spot-kick (right).

County remain in the play-offs despite one win in 13 games.

Boss Michael Flynn said: “We lost because we made two mistakes.”

BEN TOZER insists this setback will not derail Cheltenham’s promotion push.

A brace from Andy Cook, on loan from Mansfield, won it for the Bantams.

The Robins are third and take on leaders Cambridge tomorrow.

Midfielder Tozer said: “We want to put right what’s wrong. You have to take the positives from the negative.”

JEFF KING fired HALIFAX to a shock win at National League leaders TORQUAY – after causing two penalties.

The Scouser struck with two minutes left to seal a 3-2 success at Plainmoor.

Halifax boss Pete Wild said: “Jeff King has had a great day.

“He is a massive Everton fan and they have beaten Liverpool, he’s given two penalties away and then he popped up to win us the game in the final minutes.”

Sam Sherring’s own goal put Fax in front but Asa Hall’s penalty made it 1-1 at the break.

Skipper Hall (above, celebrating) took advantage of King’s second spot-kick concession to nudge the Gulls ahead before Jack Earing’s leveller set up the surprise ending.

SUTTON UNITED are now four points behind the leaders with three games in hand thanks to the 4-1 thrashing of WEALDSTONE.

Isaac Olaofe, Ben Goodliffe, Louis John and Tobi Sho-silva scored for Sutton, who had an extra man for 50 minutes after Ashley Charles was sent off. Danny Parish got their goal.

United boss Matt Gray said: “I’m pleased with where we are. I don’t want to cliche saying one game at a time but it’s true.”

HARTLEPOOL reclaimed third after Gavan Holohan’s last-gasp goal earned a 2-1 win at home to YEOVIL.

Tom Knowles’ strike put the Glovers ahead but Holohan turned in sub Joe Grey’s cross after Luke Armstrong had levelled.

Gavin Gunning’s first-half free-kick earned CHESTERFIELD a 1-0 win at NOTTS COUNTY that ended the Magpies’ fourmatch winning run.

County dropped to fifth but boss Neal Ardley was not angry at his players.

He said: “I won’t slaughter the players, they’ve done great lately but several weren’t at their game and because of that the team didn’t quite function as well.”
