League Two Results 16th October 2010 (Part 1)

Accrington Stanley 2-3 Rotherham United
Accrington’s unbeaten home record ended with a stoppage-time goal from Rotherham.
Mark Bradley wasn’t very impressed with his first start for Rotherham so let’s hope this one met with his approval.

Aldershot Town 2-1 Morecambe
Both sides will have been disappointed with their start to the season after being in the play-offs last season but whilst Morecambe are still uncomfortably close to the bottom of the table, Aldershot’s win puts them in seventh place, very much in the play-off race. And even Morecambe are only five points away.
Darren Jones played well for Aldershot but Aaron Morris didn’t. It’s impossible to play well when the manager leaves you on the bench.

Bradford City 3-1 Cheltenham Town
It looked like Bradford were getting back to their own selves when they went 1-0 down after seven minutes. However, the good thing about early goals is that there’s plenty of time to turn things around and struggling Bradford scored three times to beat play-off hopefuls Cheltenham.
Jason Price made a good start to life at Bradford City. The striker, who has just joined from Carlisle United on loan, only came off the bench at half-time but he knew his team-mates well enough to provide the assist for the second goal. (It would have been even better if he’d actually scored the second goal, not to mention the third, but you can’t have everything.)
Josh Low scored Cheltenham’s goal but things went downhill for him after that.

Macclesfield Town 3-2 Oxford United
Oxford were leading 2-0 at the break but the ‘few words’ from Macclesfield manager Gary Simpson certainly had the desired effect as Oxford’s unbeaten away record came to an end.
Sam Wedgbury was a late substitute for Macclesfield.
Oxford were without Rhys Day, who has joined Mansfield Town on loan.

Northampton Town 3-4 Hereford United
Hereford did what Liverpool couldn’t when they beat Northampton 3-4. It’s particularly impressive considering Hereford let Northampton have a three-goal start:
But then Stuart Fleetwood came off the bench for Hereford and scored two goals. Two more duly followed and Hereford took all three points.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Ryan Green, Ryan Valentine and Tony James played in defence for Hereford and kept a clean sheet in the second half. Ryan G managed to get a Northampton player sent off when his prone figure somehow incited his opponent to throw the ball of them while Ryan V did his bit to prevent Northampton’s opening goal from coming a lot sooner than it did.
