FAB FANS CLOCK UP THE MILES
HEROES OF THE WEEK
THE division’s most devoted supporters who covered vast distances to see their teams in action. Doncaster fans ( 297 miles to Plymouth), Southend fans (276 miles to Fleetwood), Portsmouth fans (256 miles to Scunthorpe), Gillingham fans (250 miles to rochdale), Bury fans ( 237 miles to Charlton), Blackpool fans (207 miles to Bristol rovers) we salute you.
ZERO OF THE WEEK
WHoEVEr is in charge of calming down Plymouth’s players. Sonny Bradley was the fourth Pilgrim to be sent off in as many home games after an offtheball incident in the 30 home defeat by Doncaster. The indiscipline has got to be driving manager Derek Adams crazy — Plymouth have the grand total of zero points from the four games.
GOAL OF THE WEEK
JErMAINE BECKForD. Surely Charlton know this already… don’t give the Bury striker, formerly of Leeds and Everton, an inch. Beckford curled a beauty into the bottom lefthand corner from 20 yards out of nothing in a 11 draw. Wizardry at the Valley.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
PHIL BroWN: ‘It was to do with fire in his belly and fire or bullets in his boots… it was nothing untoward and he’s probably been planning it for a couple of months because he’s had a lot of time on his own.’ The Southend manager tries to explain Nile ranger’s goal celebration in their 42 win at Fleetwood. The striker, who has just served time in prison for fraud, pretended to use his right boot as a gun.
STAT OF THE WEEK
1,000 — Jack Marriott’s lastminute goal for Peterborough secured a 32 victory over Wigan at the ABAX, Posh’s 1,000th win in the Football League.
