League One Results 14th January 2011

Brentford 1-1 Exeter City
Usually if a team manages to preserve a lead for 90 minutes, they will have won the match. But this was not the case with Exeter. They took the lead as early as the 2nd minute, and Brentford waited until the 94th before letting them know they weren’t going to be taking all three points after all.
Daniel Nardiello got his first start for Exeter for a month. Although he didn’t get on the scoresheet, he gave Brentford’s keeper plenty to worry about. Richard Duffy spent the first 93 minutes ensuring Exeter held onto their lead.

Colchester United 2-1 Bournemouth
Eddie Howe’s last match as the manager of high-flying Bournemouth came to an end with defeat to Colchester. place after the weekend’s games. All the goals were scored by substitutes, with Bournemouth’s half-time substitute Steve Fletcher taking the lead early in the second half – only for later substitute Steven Gillespie of Colchester to score twice to give the home side the points.
Howe is now the manager of Burnley and it’s very sad to see him go. His love for the club was clear but his desire to manager a bigger club was too strong to resist. And maybe Howe’s decision was the most sensible decision. So many people do seem to take a better job when the chance is there, regardless of whether they think they’ll love the new job more than the old job.
Lee Beevers now seems to be a regular member of Colchester’s starting line-up after completing his fourth consecutive 90 minutes. Lloyd James was again a late substitute with Ballon d’Or star Tom Bender on the bench.
Rhoys Wiggins was back in Bournemouth’s starting line-up after recovering from an eye operation and being bitten by a dog.
