League One Results 25th September 2010 Part 1

Bournemouth 2-0 Carlisle United
Bournemouth ended Carlisle’s unbeaten start to the season and climbed to third place, despite a disappointing first half.
Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth but was unable to score in a third consecutive game. Joe Partington wasn’t in the squad.
Jason Price made another substitute appearance for Carlisle but he was unable to bring them back into the game. He did score for the reserves this week though.

Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Oldham Athletic
Brighton continue their impressive start to the season, beating Oldham and moving to the top of the table, something they probably haven’t done since Bobby Zamora was in the team. Oldham will be wishing the referee had blown the whistle just a few seconds earlier – Brighton’s winner came in the 94th minute.
Joe Jacobson retutned to Oldham’s squad but was an unused substitute.

Bristol Rovers 2-1 Notts County
When a player is shown a second yellow card in the 39th minute and you’re already a goal down, getting back into the game is far from easy. Bristol Rovers then went 2-0 ahead but Notts County kept on fighting and managed to get a goal back.
Bristol Rovers’ Byron Anthony was again Man of the Match but he was so excited by the news, he promptly gave the ball away and Notts County ended up scoring. But I’m sure I’d do the same and at least he gave the ball to another Welshman.
There was a first appearance of the season for young striker Eliot Richards but Ben Swallow was an unused substitute.
Ben Davies scored the late goal which gave Notts County a small chance. They didn’t take the chance but it will boost his goal tally if nothing else.

Charlton Athletic 2-2 Dagenham & Redbridge
Three stoppage-time goals – one for Dagenham & Redbridge at the end of the first half, one each at the end of the second half – helped Dag & Red to their first away point of the season against fairly local rivals Charlton.
Charlton probably thought they’d won it when they took the lead for a second time in the 91st minute but two minutes later, the scores were level again.
Tony Roberts played in goal for Dag & Red.

Colchester United 3-1 Tranmere Rovers
Colchester deservedly remain unbeaten after beating Tranmere. Amazingly, this was their first home win of the season. Dag & Red’s draw meant they climbed above Tranmere, who sink to the bottom on goal difference. Tranmere finished the game well – first their keeper saved a penalty, preventing Colchester from going 4-0 ahead, then they scored a goal of their own a minute later. But it was a bit late for a comeback then and the game finished 3-1.
Lloyd James stayed on the bench for Colchester.
Tranmere were without the injured Ash Taylor (knee).

Hartlepool United 2-1 Walsall
Hartlepool got a much-needed three points at the expense of Walsall, who drop into the bottom four as a result. Walsall took an early lead but Hartlepool fought back to take the points.
Sean Geddes was back on the bench for Walsall.
