LEAGUE TWO WEEKEND ROUND-UP

THANKS to a late long-range effort from Mitch Pinnock, NORTHAMPTON snatched a draw against fellow high-flyers FOREST GREEN. But Northampton boss Jon Brady could not contain his anger at the opener from Matty Stevens. ‘We have a goalcam behind the goal and we’ve had a look at it. The ball didn’t cross the line and it was never a goal,’ Brady said. There was relief at EXETER after they ended a winless run of seven league games, beating SCUNTHORPE 2-0 with goals from new signing Offrande Zanzala (left) and Jevani Brown. Manager Matt Taylor said: ‘We are delighted to bring in Oz and what a start. I’ll love him to bits if he gives me that sort of display.’

Hayden Mullins tried to ignore the boos after his COLCHESTER side crashed 2-0 at home to BARROW. A Tom Dallison own goal and a second from Josh Kay did the damage. ‘That’s the nature of the job and I knew that when I took it,’ Mullins said. Barrow boss Mark Cooper added: ‘We made fewer mistakes than they did.’ Nigel Clough’s MANSFIELD are in a rich vein of form and made it six wins on the trot with a 2-0 victory against WALSALL. Substitute Harry Charsley scored both the goals. ‘To come from second-bottom to where we are now, we are looking up rather than down,’ said Clough.
