LEAGUE TWO THIS WEEKEND
HERO OF THE WEEK
Michael Doughty (Swindon): Goals don’t come around often for Doughty, and it took him 98 minutes on Saturday to score a hat-trick against Macclesfield. His second in the 92nd minute brought Swindon level at 2-2 before his 98th-minute strike won them the game.
ZERO OF THE WEEK
Morecambe: Their relegation scrap went down to the last day last season and it seems like Jim Bentley’s side could be in for another tough camp a i g n this time round. Predicted to finish in the bottom two, they lost 6-0 away at Crewe.
GOAL OF THE WEEK
Ricky Miller (PORT VALe v Cambridge): Vale’s big summer signing from Peterborough scored his first goal for the club in a 3-0 win and what a belter it was. From a free-kick on the edge of the Cambridge box, he lifted a left-foot effort over the wall and into the top corner.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Michael Jolley (Grimsby manager) after 4-1 home defeat by Forest Green: ‘I can accept people making mistakes because that happens but what I can’t accept is people not following the game plan and not executing what’s been happening for the last six weeks so clearly we need to address that.’
STAT OF THE WEEK
Crewe’s 6-0 thumping of Morecambe was their biggest ever opening day victory.
