League Two Results 21st August 2010 Part 2

Crewe Alexandra 7-0 Barnet
Crewe hadn’t won any matches before Saturday so when they went ahead, they made sure it stayed that way, registering the biggest win of the weekend in the Football League. Barnet remain bottom of the table with one point.
Rhys Taylor was in goal for Crewe but he might as well not have been there most of the time although he did prove he stayed awake with one very good save.

Rotherham United 6-4 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham were 3-1 up after 36 minutes. Then they must have relaxed a bit and forgotten that Rotherham are promotion favourites for a reason. To their credit they did fight back and get a fourth goal but that doesn’t help much when the other team’s already scored six.
Mark Bradley had a stomach strain but was able to sit on the bench for Rotherham. Cheltenham’s Josh Low played 79 minutes, which was probably more than enough. On the positive side, he came close to scoring He might have conceded the penalty but BBC Sport says it was someone else.

Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Aldershot Town

The two goals came within two minutes of each other but neither side could get all three points. Both have made a good start to the season though which is good although as Shrewsbury knows they need to keep it going all season.
Tom Bradshaw was on the bench for Shrewsbury.
Darren Jones had another good game for Aldershot. Aaron Morris came off the bench in the 88th minute.

Southend United 1-3 Port Vale
Southend’s goal difference keeps them out of the bottom two but only just. As if last season wasn’t bad enough for Southend supporters, this one looks like it won’t be much fun either. But it might not be entirely hopeless. They’ve lost to Port Vale, who are one of the best sides in the division and Aldershot Town, who were in the play-offs last season. And they did beat Bristol City.
Southend again had to do without the injured Peter Gilbert but they did have one Welsh defender to help them out – although I’m sure Gareth Owen didn’t mean to put the ball into his own net.

Stevenage 3-1 Stockport County
New boys Stevenage got their first league victory against Stockport, another relegation team who are struggling again although they didn’t play badly.
After being hailed by his manager as one of the best goalkeepers in the league, Owain fon Williams conceded three but that’s not his fault, you’re kind of asking for it if you say things like that.
