LEAGUE ONE

-

JACK MOYLAN turned frustratio­n into delight after his first goals in English football sparked a second-half goal avalanche.

Half-time sub Moylan netted a brace, with Joe Taylor, Daniel Mandriou and Jovon Makama also on target. Adam Phillips scored for Barnsley, who dropped to fifth.

Moylan said: “I was disappoint­ed I didn’t start the game but you have got to be ready to come on and bring energy into the game, which I’m all about.”

DARREN FERGUSON reckons it is all coming to plan at the right time for Peterborou­gh.

Late goals from Josh Knight and sub Jonson Clarke-Harris were needed for a fourth straight league win that moved them up to fourth. Posh boss Ferguson said: “I always felt that March was the pivotal month for us looking at the games we had.”

Ricky-Jade Jones opened the scoring before Ademola Ola-Adebomi levelled for Burton.

RICARDO SANTOS vowed that “three minutes of madness” will not derail Bolton’s promotion push.

City’s Sonny Cox netted twice in three minutes to overturn Paris Maghoma’s opener and it needed Eoin Toal’s late header for Bolton to salvage a point.

Wanderers dropped to third but skipper Santos vowed: “We had three minutes of madness but no-one is in there blaming each other.

“We will learn from it and go again.”

GARATH McCLEARY was “overwhelme­d” by Reading fans clapping him as he helped Wycombe to victory.

Beryly Lubala’s late penalty won it after Sam Smith had cancelled out Nigel Lonwijk’s early Wanderers opener.

It was a first Reading return for ex-Royals winger McCleary, 36.

He said: “I was genuinely overwhelme­d. Eight years this place was my home. I thank you and wish you all every success for the rest of the season.”

MARLON PACK admitted that Portsmouth may end up regretting failing to get the better of 10-man Blackpool.

The leaders couldn’t take advantage after Jordan Rhodes saw red in the 43rd minute following an aerial challenge with Joe Rafferty.

Skipper Pack said: “We’re kicking ourselves a little bit. It feels like a missed opportunit­y. We hit the post three times and were an inch away from getting that winning goal.”

GARY MONK says he understand­s why nervous Cambridge could not hang on for a win.

Elias Kachunga’s early goal gave Monk hope of a win in his first game as U’s manager.

But Jon Guthrie’s header eight minutes from time denied him that.

Monk said: “That’s understand­able coming off the run of games we have. I have been there myself as a player – the three points are so close and you go into that protective mentality.”

GREG LEIGH admitted his winner came in the nick of time for play-off chasing Oxford.

Josh Murphy fired the U’s in front before Will Ferry brought Town level with 10 minutes remaining. Leigh headed home an 88th-minute winner to keep Oxford a point off the top six.

He said: “We shouldn’t have been in that position.

“We have stuff to work on but we would rather be talking about it with three points in the bag.”

STEVE EVANS laid into his players as promotionc­hasing Boro failed to capitalise on Harrison Holgate’s red card.

Holgate saw red in the 68th-minute but secondbott­om Fleetwood held out for a point that keeps their survival hopes afloat.

Boro remain in the playoff slots – just – and boss Evans complained: “We were below par and if we’re below par for the next four games, we’ll be thinking about booking our holidays.”

TOM BARKHUIZEN says Derby intend to motor their way to automatic promotion. Barkhuizen netted either side of strikes from Dwight Gayle and Martyn Waghorn to secure a club record-equalling 12th away win of the season.

That pushed the Rams into second spot and Barkhuizen said: “What a way to start the last 10 games.

“We have put ourselves in a great position and now it is about keeping our foot down and trying to win the remaining nine.”

ALFIE MAY starred with two goals but saw his celebratio­ns fall flat – literally.

Daniel Kanu also scored for Charlton as seeminglyd­oomed Carlisle slipped to a 10th loss in 11 games despite goals from Luke Armstrong and Taylor Charters.

Striker May wasn’t quite as impressive in the ‘tunnel jump’ that happens after every home win.

He said: “I slipped straight on my back – but it was a great three points and a nice little brace.”

MARKO MAROSI is confident Shrewsbury can put more distance between themselves and the rest of the relegation battle.

Goals from Dan Udoh and Tom Bloxham put the Shrews in control before Baylee Dipepa pulled one back.

Keeper Marosi said: “This result was massive for us and hopefully we can build on it.”

Second-bottom Vale are seven points shy of safety but Shrewsbury are seven clear of the drop zone.

JASON KERR was delighted to score the winner with his first touch.

Kerr came off the bench in the 72nd-minute and headed home his first goal of the season a minute later.

Orient had been threatenin­g to hold out despite Ethan Galbraith’s dismissal three minutes before the break. Defender Kerr said: “It’s a massive relief to score. You always dream about coming on and scoring goals. It was a really good feeling.”
