League One Results 16th October 2010 (Part 2)

Exeter City 2-1 Carlisle United
Exeter extended their unbeaten run to six games with victory over Carlisle, who are now only ahead of them on goal difference.
Rob Edwards was outstanding in the starting line-up for Exeter but even so, Carlisle could have scored another without the intervention of Richard Duffy. Daniel Nardiello was on the bench but only because Exeter are being careful with him. And it worked, as far as I know, Daniel didn’t pick up the smallest niggle during this game. Not even a splinter from sitting on the bench.

Notts County 2-0 Plymouth Argyle
Notts County played the third of the three promoted sides and for the second time, they came away with three points.
After two whole matches without a goal or an assist, something was bound to happen. And it did: Ben Davies got an assist which helped Notts County to a deserved win over Plymouth.
Carl Fletcher played the full match for Plymouth.

Oldham Athletic 0-0 Colchester United
Oldham are unbeaten at home, Colchester aere unbeaten away. It was a bit predictable really. Colchester looked the stronger side at the start of the match but Oldham took control in the second half and looked the most likely to score. And they would have done if Colchester’s goalkeeper hadn’t been on such good form.
Joe Jacobson was absent from Oldham’s squad again but I don’t think he’s injured as he is featuring in reserve games.
Lloyd James was a half-time substitute for Colchester. This is only the second league match he’s appeared in this season. Not what I expected, I thought he’d be banging them in every three games and make Southampton look stupid for releasing him. But it’s not that easy when you play for a team that’s actually good.

Peterborough United 5-4 Swindon Town
When Peterborough went 3-0 up, it seemed obvious that they would win the game. When Swindon brought it back to 3-3, it became clear anything could happen. Unfortunately for Swindon, my first instincts were correct and Peterborough’s winning goal was scored by a Swindon player. Heartbreaking but both teams showed great spirit, Swindon by fighting back and Peterborough for not collapsing completely when Swindon drew level. Let’s not think about what they showed in other parts of the game.
Arron Davies started for Peterborough.
Billy Bodin wasn’t in Swindon’s squad.

Yeovil Town 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday
The fact that these two teams are in the same division will be little consolation for Yeovil, who looked the stronger team for much of the game.
A stamp on Gavin Williams could have seen Sheffield Wednesday go down to ten men but in the end it wasn’t even a yellow. Gavin’s ankle injury continued to trouble him but he completed the match and was a great attacking threat for Yeovil, who didn’t deserve to lose, especially not by two goals. Shaun MacDonald and Owain Tudur Jones also played the full match.
