ACCRINGTON 0 SHEFF WED 1 Mighten 24
DAVID STOCKDALE says Wednesday have shown they will do whatever it takes to wrap up a win.
Alex Mighten fired the visitors ahead and they never looked like surrendering their lead.
Keeper Stockdale said: “When you go 1-0 up you have to be able to hold on to it. Some people have questioned our approach but our mentality is we need points on the board.”
CAMBRIDGE 0 BOLTON 0
JAMES TRAFFORD says it was vital Bolton halted their recent losing streak after suffering back-toback defeats.
Wanderers managed a point despite losing Kyle Dempsey 15 minutes from time for a second yellow.
Keeper Trafford said: “It’s a step back in the right direction and a good point to get.
“We didn’t want to have a third defeat in a row. It’s onwards and upwards now.”
IPSWICH 1 Woolfenden 8 CHELTENHAM 1
Broom 34
LEIF DAVIS believes it is only a matter of time before Ipswich run riot.
The Town wing-back said: “We just need to keep working in training to try and score more goals, but it will come. I think we’ll absolutely batter a team soon.
“It’s so frustrating. We had 28 attempts on goal, we’ve got to put more to bed. They had three and scored one and it’s just one of those days.”
MORECAMBE 1 Shaw 36 PORTSMOUTH 1 Bishop 67
PORTSMOUTH’S on-loan keeper Josh Griffiths admits they must learn from their failure to beat struggling Morecambe.
The 21-year-old said: “We need to stop conceding the first goal because it puts you on the back foot and leaves a mountain to climb.
“We have to make sure it’s a better point by getting a win when we face Derby in a difficult game on Friday.”
BRISTOL ROVERS 2 Coburn 57, Collins 80 FLEETWOOD 2 Rooney 14, 90+9
AARON COLLINS reckons referee Bobby Madden got it badly wrong after his third yellow card of the season.
The Bristol Rovers striker, who was booked for diving, said: “I’ve nicked the ball and it’s a slight contact.
“The ref hasn’t been able to see it properly and he thought the easiest decision was to book me when I believe it’s a blatant penalty.”
EXETER CITY 3 Dieng 27, Nombe 86, Brown 90+1 PETERBOROUGH 2
Clarke-Harris 40, Mason-Clark 81 TIM DIENG says Exeter’s two-goal fightback in the final minutes of the game was down to their improved fitness levels.
“If there is still time to play, we know we have the quality and energy to score goals at the end of the game,” said Dieng.
“The last few weeks have been a little weird with new people coming in nearly every week, but now we know everyone we have stability.”
LINCOLN CITY 1 Sanders 45+1 PLYMOUTH 1 Randell 31
ADAM RANDELL says his recent scoring streak is down to his growing belief after the Plymouth man scored for a third successive away game.
Randell said: “I’m just glad I am getting into those positions where I can start affecting the game. I’m happy to be on the scoresheet.
“I’m more relaxed now. I know I can do it. I feel the confidence in myself, and the ability to hit it.”
OXFORD UTD 4 Bodin 10, 62, Taylor 27, 66 PORT VALE 0
KARL ROBINSON says Djavan Anderson is starting to show Oxford United why they signed the 27-year-old Dutchman.
U’s manager Robinson said: “We signed him as a wing-back/right back, that we knew could play as a wide-right player.
“He’s adapted really well to British football and he’s started to train better, run better, and he’s got tremendous talent.”
BURTON ALBION 3 Oshilaja 38, Hamer 45, Adeboyejo 58 CHARLTON 3 Kirk 26, 36, Rak-Sakyi 75
CHARLTON boss Ben Garner praised keeper Craig MacGillvray after he stepped in to replace Joe Wollacott.
Ghana stopper Wollacott was withdrawn after hurting his finger during the warm-up.
Garner said: “Craig did really well coming in. It’s not easy when you are thrown in that late.
“He’s a great professional, he always
prepares in the right way.”
FOREST GREEN 0 WYCOMBE 2 Wheeler 14, McCleary 27
GARATH McCLEARY insists there was nothing flukey about his 20-yard wonder strike.
The Wycombe winger said: “I have been told that it was a cross to the far post but I definitely meant it!
“The last few games that we have played, we haven’t got the results that we have wanted, even though in a few of the home games I thought we did well.”
MK DONS 1 Barry 41 DERBY 3 Roberts 43, Collins 53, Mendez-Laing 79
DERBY’S James Collins praised the contribution of the Rams’ backline after they moved into the play-off places.
The striker, who netted County’s second, said: “They’ve all been great.
“Joe Wildsmith in goal has been outstanding in the last few games.
“I’m delighted for Jake Rooney too. It was his first league start and he’s a great kid as well. He really wants to learn.”
SHREWSBURY 0 BARNSLEY 1 Phillips 10
LUCA CONNELL praised Adam Phillips after his fellow Barnsley midfielder scored for a second successive game.
Connell, 21, admitted: “That’s what he brings to the team. He’s a great player. He gets stuck in, tackles, wins headers. But he brings goals as well.
“That’s what we’re all looking for and that’s what we need. Whoever is chipping in with the goals, we don’t mind!”
