League Two Results 24th November Part 2

Norwich City 4-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
With Owain Tudur Jones and Rhoys Wiggins still injured (what have those boys been up to?), all Norwich could do was put 17-year-old Josh Dawkin on the bench again. It was a strategy that worked.
Andrew Crofts was in Brighton’s side and he did quite well – he nearly scored and despite the number of challenges he made, he managed to get just the one yellow card. His team-mate Craig Davies came on as a substitute in the 84th minute. He’s a striker but he must have done something right as Norwich duly stopped scoring.

Swindon 2-1 Huddersfield Town
Billy Bodin again didn’t make the bench for Swindon. (I hope the bench was made by someone who knows something about furniture.)

Tranmere Rovers 2-0 Southend United
Ash Taylor was the Globe Man of the Match as Tranmere won their first points in five outings. He only waited for thirty seconds to elapse before making his first attempt on goal.

Walsall 3-0 Oldham Athletic
How nice to see some Wales players achieve a big win. Mark Bradley and Rhys Weston both played the full game. Mark got the assist for the third goal. Expressandstar said Mark Bradley’s efforts shouldn’t go unnoticed so make sure you notice them.
No-one said anything like that about Rhys but he must have helped with the clean sheet at least a little bit.
Is there an award for the player in the league who gets the most assists? You’ve got the Golden Boot for goals but they need to have a Golden Sock too.

Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Brentford
I found out Lewis Price’s non-appearance for Brentford was because he had flu, poor baby. He was not well enough to return to the starting line-up for this game. Perhaps if he had played, Brentford wouldn’t have become Wycombe’s second London conquest in a matter of days.
James Wilson played for Brentford and he doesn’t seem to have put a foot wrong… until he was red-carded in the 65th minute. Even then he might not have put a foot wrong - as he is said to have ‘hauled down Welshily-named Englishman Gareth Ainsworth I think it’s probably his hands that were at fault.
It was an unfair challenge which resulted in a penalty – but Brentford’s replacement goalkeeper
Wojciech Szczesny (who is also on loan from Arsenal) saved the penalty. Wycombe managed to score their first penalty but Wojciech clearly learned from his mistake. (Now if Brentford could learn from theirs…)
