LEAGUE TWO

NEWPORT 0 SALFORD 0

MIKE FLYNN fumed at the level of refereeing in his side’s draw against Salford. Newport’s Josh Sheehan was sent off for a nastylooking tackle on Ash Hunter, and Flynn moaned: ‘The fourth official has given it and I don’t think he gave anything all day.’ Salford assistant Warren Joyce added: ‘When we had the extra man we didn’t use it well. It wasn’t a great surface.’

COLCHESTER 1 CAMBRIDGE 1

AN OWN GOAL by Greg Taylor denied Cambridge a third straight league win. However, boss Mark Bonner was pleased with a point. He said: ‘We had a chance towards the end but they had a couple, so it’s probably a fair result.’ The visitors had taken the lead when Harvey Knibbs converted from close range.

FOREST GREEN 1 PORT VALE 1

DEVANTE RODNEY’S second-half screamer rescued a point for Port Vale. And interim boss Danny Pugh lauded the striker’s impact. He said: ‘Devante’s strike was out of this world and he’s a massive threat and he gave Forest Green something to worry about.’ Forest Green went ahead through Nick Cadden’s deflected free-kick.

BOLTON 1 CHELTENHAM 1

IAN EVATT called his Bolton side’s draw with Cheltenham ‘frustrating’. Striker Eoin Doyle struck in the 87th minute to earn the hosts a point, after Alfie May’s second-half strike had put Cheltenham in control. Visiting boss Michael Duff added: ‘We took the lead, but we have lost the edge and can’t see out that win.’

LEYTON ORIENT 2 MORECAMBE 0

ROSS EMBLETON’S Orient left it late before overcoming Morecambe. ‘Overall I think we deserved to win and I am pleased we picked up another three points,’ the O’s manager said. Nathaniel Knight-Percival’s own goal and a strike from Lee Angol secured the victory.

WALSALL 1 OLDHAM 1

OLDHAM boss Harry Kewell can’t understand why his side are much better on the road than at home. ‘It’s a strange one,’ he said. Zak Jules’ first league goal rewarded the hosts’ first-half superiority, but Oldham were better after the break and equalised through Davis Keillor-Dunn.

STEVENAGE 0 TRANMERE 0

STEVENAGE manager Alex Revell accepted there wasn’t enough in a late incident involving Jack Aitchison to warrant his side being awarded a penalty. ‘How much of the contact was enough to give a penalty, I don’t know,’ he said.

BARROW 1 SCUNTHORPE 0

NEIL COX slammed his players after their defeat at Barrow. ‘One or two of the lads just weren’t on it today, and I expressed how important this game was.’ Josh Kay’s fourth goal of the season secured the win for Michael Jolley’s Barrow. ‘It was a real battle,’ the manager said.

GRIMSBY 0 SOUTHEND 0

PAUL HURST wants Grimsby to use their draw against fellow strugglers Southend as a building block towards survival. ‘For the next few games, it doesn’t matter how pretty it is, it’s about picking up some points,’ the manager said.
