Accrington Stanley 1-3 Shrewsbury Town
Accrington took the lead in the first half but Shrewsbury hit back to claim three goals and three points.
Joe Jacobson played the full match for Accrington.
Tom Bradshaw still hasn’t got the hang of scoring as a non-substitute but assists are just as important as goals can’t usually be scored without them. Tom got his first and second assists for the club – and Shrewsbury’s second and third in the match. James Collins from Aston Villa scored two of Shrewsbury’s goals. It was probably a bit like playing for Wales.
Aldershot Town 1-0 Bradford City
Aldershot got only their second win since November – and their third home win of the season - after beating Bradford City.
Darren Jones had a good game for Aldershot. Aaron Morris was a late substitute again.

League Two Results 15th January 2011
Barnet 1-1 Shrewsbury Town
Not even a defeat would have put Barnet back in the bottom three but Hereford United are now just a point behind them and Lincoln City have lots of games in hand. So Barnet’s 90th-minute equaliser – and fifth away point - was particularly welcome. Shrewsbury drop out of the play-off zone but only on goal difference.
Tom Bradshaw started for Shrewsbury. He didn’t score but the Shropshire Star seemed very happy with him.
Bury 1-1 Aldershot Town
Aldershot’s new manager Dean Holdsworth was very happy to see his team draw at Bury but Bury are badly missing a certain Welsh goalkeeper they signed on loan. They remain in the play-off zone but are now five points from the automatic promotion places.
Darren Jones played the full match for Bury and there was a substitute appearance for Aaron Morris.
Cheltenham Town 1-2 Accrington Stanley
A late goal for Accrington gave them their second away league win of the season – and their fourth successive game without defeat. They are now just three points behind Cheltenham.
Josh Low, who had just recovered from a hamstring injury, was a 60-minute substitute for Cheltenham. But he still had enough time to get an assist.
Joe Jacobson played the full match for Accrington.
Chesterfield 1-0 Stevenage
Stevenage found Chesterfield a bit more trouble than their last opponents, Newcastle United. Chesterfield haven’t lost in the league since mid-November and although they only scored one goal in this match, it’s their 35th at home in the league. And not every team scores against Stevenage in away matches. They’ve only conceded eight away goals this season.
Craig Davies returned from a hamstring injury for Chesterfield. It might take him a while to find his shooting boots (he is a man, men never seem to know where their shoes are) but he’s probably well in credit as far as goals are concerned.
Crewe Alexandra 2-1 Port Vale
Crewe are three points from the automatic promotion places after beating fellow promotion contenders Port Vale. If they still count as promotion contenders. With just one win in their last five league matches, they probably don’t want to know what position they’re in in the form table.
Rhys Taylor conceded a harsh penalty and for once he didn’t save it but he it probably helped keep things exciting and he still made enough saves to ensure that Crewe won the match.
Lewis Haldane played his first 90 minutes of the season for Port Vale. Gareth Owen also played the full match. Lewis thinks Port Vale’s problem is a lack of confidence but he says they’re eager to learn from new manager Jim Gannon.
Hereford United 3-0 Stockport County
Hereford hadn’t won at home at all this season before this match (except for that time they beat Hythe Town in the FA Cup). Then when it finally did happen, it wasn’t some measly little 1-0 victory, they did it in style (Stockport had just drawn with Rotherham United so it’s not like they’re complete rubbish). Now Hereford have won the same number of home games as Stockport.
Stuart Fleetwood started for Hereford. Ryan Green served the second and final match of his suspension.
Guess where Owain fon Williams was Stockport’s bench.
Rotherham United 1-2 Southend United
Rotherham seem to be a bit confused. They beat Port Vale 5-0, as in promotion contenders Port Vale, then they draw with Stockprt County and lose to Southend United. That’s just not how it’s supposed to be. Have they got the league table upside down or what?
Mark Bradley was missing from Rotherham’s squad again as they try to arrange a loan for him.
Peter Gilbert was back in Southend’s starting line-up for the first time since returning from what is probably one of the longest suspensions ever. He got a 3-match suspension almost two months ago and completed it in early January following several postponements and an abandonment but this was the first time he’s not been on the bench.

Rhys Taylor conceded a harsh penalty and for once he didn’t save it but he it probably helped keep things exciting and he still made enough saves to ensure that Crewe won the match.

League Two Fixtures 15th January 2011 (Part 1)
Barnet v Shrewsbury Town
Shrewsbury lost their last two home games and in theory away games are harder. But maybe not so much when they’re played against Barnet, who are probably only out of the bottom two because Lincoln City have four games in hand over them. (Yes, I am being mean about them. They terminated Grant Basey’s contract.).
Tom Bradshaw could start for Shrewsbury again but I kind of hope he doesn’t because he’s got such a great strike record when he comes off the bench.
Bury v Aldershot Town
Bury haven’t won since the 23rd November but that’s not as bad as it sounds as they haven’t played many games this season. All the same, they’ll be anxious to put this right against Aldershot. But four of Aldershot’s six wins came from away games..
Darren Jones should start for Aldershot. BBC Sport says Aaron Morris ‘could start ‘after returning from a loan spell’ and that’s not wrong, his loan spell at Newport was in the past so anything that happens now happens after he returned from the loan spell. But it sounds like he was on loan there last week and it was actually last season. But anyway Aldershot’s new boss Dean Holdsworth managed him at Newport so hopefully he likes him a lot and will want to start him all the time.
Cheltenham Town v Accrington Stanley
Cheltenham are only outside the play-offs on goal difference but maybe after this match they’ll be back in the top seven. Accrington are in a respectable mid-table position but they’ve only won one match away.
Josh Low has recovered from a hamstring injury and is likely to go straight back into Cheltenham’s starting line-up. Josh hopes to redeem himself after playing poorly in his last match (although the poor man was hobbling, what do you expect?).
Joe Jacobson should have started for Accrington anyway but his late winner against Bury last week should have made sure.
Chesterfield v Stevenage
Chesterfield are four points clear at the top of the table, having won nine of their thirteen home games. But they’re probably not as good as Newcastle United and Stevenage had no problems with them. Stevenage have struggled in the League though. Apart from their two most recent wins, which which were both against Barnet, they haven’t won in League Two for nearly three months.
Chesterfield haven’t lost any of the matches which Craig Davies has missed due to his hamstring injury. Or the match he missed last week when he was ill. But it’s hard to imagine him being left on the bench for this match.
Crewe Alexandra v Port Vale
A win for Port Vale could take them up to second in the table if other results go their way. But Crewe are in fifth despite losing to Torquay United in their last match.
Rhys Taylor will be in goal for Crewe.
Gareth Owen should start for Port Vale and maybe Lewis Haldane will as well after that assist he got in their last match.

League Two Results 8th January 2011
Accrington Stanley 1-0 Bury
It looked as though Accrington would have to be content with a draw – despite the loss of Owain fon Williams, who has returned to parent club Stockport County, Bury were looking very strong in the goalkeeping department.
Luckily for Accrington, they had Joe Jacobson on the pitch – he scored the goal and gave Accrington the win they deserved. But manager John Coleman thinks he should take some of the credit because he told Joe to go up for the corner. Joe has extended his loan spell initially until 29th January but Accrington are hoping to keep him for the rest of the season. Yes, I can see why!
Aldershot Town 1-2 Oxford United
Oxford won for the fifth time in sixth games, with Aldershot their latest victims. Four of Aldershot’s last six matches have in a 2-1 away win (including their last three matches) – unfortunately Aldershot were only playing away in two of them.
Darren Jones played the full match for Aldershot. Aaron Morris was on the bench.
Bradford City 1-3 Barnet
Barnet recorded their first away win of the season – and moved out of the bottom two as a result. A win for Bradford would have put them a point behind the play-offs.
Barnet don’t seem to be missing Grant Basey, who was released by the club. But Bradford probably wish they’d been able to extend Jason Price’s loan deal.
Crewe Alexandra 3-0 Wycombe Wanderers
Crewe moved into the play-offs following a big win over rivals Wycombe, who remain in the top three.
Rhys Taylor was in goal for Crewe – but they will only have him for this season. They can’t afford his wages anyway and he wants to play at a higher level next season. And I’m sure he’ll have plenty of offers.
Northampton Town 1-1 Cheltenham Town
Northampton missed out on the chance to go into the top half of the table, despite an excellent first half. Cheltenham are outside the play-offs only on goal difference.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Cheltenham were without the injured Josh Low (hamstring).
Shrewsbury Town 1-3 Morecambe
Shrewsbury dropped out of the play-offs when they failed to win for the fourth consecutive match. Morecambe are eight points clear of the relegation zone. Maybe they won’t be in the play-offs this season but they’re only seven points away so you never know.
Tom Bradshaw was given another start but the striker has never scored in a match he’s started. Of course, he only started three matches.
Southend United 2-3 Chesterfield
Chesterfield would have been top even if they’d lost this match but a hard-fought win means they are now five points clear. But they had a bit of help from Southend, who conceded two penalties.
Peter Gilbert was on the bench for Southend. He was hoping for a starting place but he didn’t get one.
Chesterfield are still without the injured Craig Davies.
Stockport County 1-5 Gillingham
Gillingham win their fourth successive away game – which isn’t a sentence I expected to write this season. Stockport fail to win for the third consecutive match.
Just a tip, Stockport. As Owain fon Williams did such a great job on loan at Bury, don’t you think he might be an option in goal?

Welsh Players Christmas-New Year matches 2010-11 (League Two, Part 1)
Accrington Stanley
Joe Jacobson played just two matches for Accrington in the time spell of this post but he has since extended his loan deal from Oldham Athletic.
Morecambe A 1-2 (played all)
Chesterfield H 2-2 (Y foul 52, played all)
Aldershot Town
Darren Jones was surprisingly dropped to the bench for one of the two matches Aldershot were able to play. Losing to Barnet and Hereford United: is there worse?
Barnet A 1-2 (bench, on 91)
Hereford H 1-2 (played all)
Aaron Morris also spent one match on the bench but that’s less of a surprise because he often has to do that. That doesn’t mean I agree with it though.
Barnet A 1-2 (played all)
Hereford H 1-2 (bench, on 46, Y foul 69)
Barnet
Grant Basey played his final two matches with Barnet – the club have decided to cancel his contract as they felt he wasn’t fully committed to the cause. And maybe he isn’t – he really wanted to go to Aberdeen. It’s not his fault Aberdeen kept him hanging for weeks before deciding they couldn’t afford him.
Stockport H 1-3 (played all)
Aldershot H 1-2 (played all)
Stevenage A 4-2 (OG2 8, played all)
Bradford City
Jason Price’s loan spell at Bradford didn’t really go as planned as far as goals are concerned but his manager apparently still wants him.
Cheltenham A 4-0 (played all)
Lincoln A 1-2 (bench)
Bury H 1-0 (starts, off 72)
Michael Flynn is still out with a groin injury.
Burton Albion
Player of the Year Tony James ended his year on the bench.
Port Vale A 2-1 (bench)
Garyn Preen has returned from a loan spell at Stafford Rangers after deciding not to extend his loan. So did the player who went with him. Their manager Paul Peschisolido is trying to find them both new clubs but maybe he only means new loan clubs.
Bury
Owain fon Williams exchanged Stockport County’s relegation fight for a promotion race with loan club Bury. He was great but as soon as their other keeper was fit, Owain was on the bench. (And Bury lost.)
Macclesfield H 2-2 (played all)
Bradford A 1-0 (bench)
Cheltenham Town
A number Cheltenham’s Christmas fixtures were cancelled but Josh Low would have missed them anyway as he has a hamstring injury.
Bradford H 4-0 (out, hamstring)
Wycombe H 1-2 (out, hamstring
Southend A 1-2 (out, hamstring)
Joe Jacobson played just two matches for Accrington in the time spell of this post but he has since extended his loan deal from Oldham Athletic.

League Two Results 11th December 2010 (Part 2)
Rotherham United 1-0 Aldershot Town
Adam le Fondre is too good for League Two. He must have noticed he’s scored more goals in four months of the season than most players do in a whole season. It’s just a shame he was born in Stockport really. The Aldershot manager seems quite happy they only lost by one goal.
Mark Bradley was on the bench for Rotherham.
Darren Jones and Aaron Morris both played the full match for Aldershot.
Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham probably thought they’d won it but Shrewsbury had a secret weapon on the bench. A Welsh secret weapon.
The secret weapon in question is called Tom Bradshaw and he did something he did on a number of occasions last season – came off the bench and scored a goal. But he didn’t score with his feet or his head. He scored with his bottom.
Josh Low played the full match for Cheltenham.
Stevenage 0-1 Northampton Town
Northampton win their second successive league match despite spending more than half an hour with ten men – they’ve only lost one of their last seven. They’re probably in a position now where they can look at the league table and not want to kill themselves.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Stockport County 3-3 Crewe Alexandra
Stockport might have conceded – and scored – three goals but manager Dario Gradi’s main concern is with his strikers.
So hopefully he hasn’t got a problem with goalkeeper Rhys Taylor. I don’t want Rhys getting sent back to Chelsea and getting into the first team and making them good again.
Anthony Pulis was on the bench for Stockport.
Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Bury
Wycombe are now just three points behind Bury, who are in the third automatic promotion place.
Owain fon Williams made some good saves for Bury so clearly it could have been worse.

FA Cup Results 27th November 2010 (Part 2)
Dover Athletic 2-0 Aldershot Town
The FA Cup wouldn’t be the same without them. Dover went through to the third round at the expense of league side Aldershot. Next up are Huddersfield Town. I don’t know about winning but I think they might do better than Macclesfield Town.
Adam Birchall went into the match hoping for a tenth goal of the FA Cup campaign – and ended up with his eleventh too. He scored early in the second half to put Dover ahead before converting a 90th-minute penalty and he says he loves Dover. The way he’s playing, I’m sure Dover loves him too. His manager, at least, really doesn’t want to and doesn't need to sell him.
Darren Jones kept his place in Aldershot’s starting line-up but Aaron Morris was on the bench.
Hereford United 2-2 Lincoln City
Two of League Two’s strugglers probably don’t want another game as they have enough to concentrate on in the League. Their next opponents are also from League Two: Wycombe Wanderers.
Stuart Fleetwood played the full match for Hereford but had a penalty saved. It happens to all the best Welsh players. Ryan Green and Ryan Valentine were out due to suspension and injury respectively.
Huddersfield Town 6-0 Macclesfield Town
Macclesfield are never going to win the FA Cup and maybe they were never going to win this match but did Huddersfield really need to be so emphatic about it? They face Dover Athletic in the next round.
Sam Wedgbury was on the bench for Macclesfield.
Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 Northampton Town
Sheffield Wednesday aren’t as good as they used to be but at least they’re better than Liverpool – although Northampton put up a good fight and things could have been different if they hadn’t kept conceding penalties. Sheffield Wednesday are at Bristol City in the next round.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Southampton 3-0 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham have been doing well in League Two but for once Southampton showed why it could have been them getting promoted if it weren’t for their points deduction. Their next opponents were expected to be spending this season in League One with Southampton. Instead, they’re tearing up the Premier League.
Ryan Doble was on the bench for Southampton.
Josh Low played the full match for Cheltenhan.

Their next opponents were expected to be spending this season in League One with Southampton. Instead, they’re tearing up the Premier League.
Ryan Doble was on the bench for Southampton.
Josh Low played the full match for Cheltenhan.

FA Cup Fixtures 27th November 2010 (Part 2)
Darlington v York City
At least one non-league side will be in the third round and this local derby is likely to be feisty. But only if it goes ahead. No FA Cup matches called off as yet but this tie looks vulnerable.
Danny Parslow should play for York but Levi Mackin is still on his way back from a knee injuy and Alex Lawless has joined Luton on loan, with a view to a permanent move.
Dover Athletic v Aldershot Town
The Aldershot manager sees the FA Cup as a game to enjoy and make money from. He’s not even worried about losing.
Adam Birchall has already scored nine goals in the FA Cup this season – he’ll be wanting to make it ten at least. He’d love to beat Aldershot and take on former club Arsenal.
Aaron Morris probably has the most chance of starting for Aldershot, with Darren Jones possibly rested. But I don’t know if I’m right.
Hartlepool United v Yeovil Town
This match is looking like one of the most likely to be called off – which won’t be good news for the Yeovil fans, who will probably either be already there or on the way when the announcement is made. Hartlepool are out to enjoy the encounter and see what happens. For Yeovil, it’s a chance to show they’re not as bad as their league match against Bournemouth suggested.
Loanees Shaun MacDonald and Owain Tudur Jones can both play for Yeovil (this will be Owain’s last game) but Gavin Williams doesn’t have permission from parent club Bristol City. Nathan Jones could also be in the squad. Nathan and Rhys Baggridge were part of the Yeovil squad that progressed to the quarter finals of the Somerset Premier Cup.

League Two Results 20th November 2010 (Part 1)
Aldershot Town 0-2 Chesterfield
Chesterfield stay two points clear at the top of League Two after beating Aldershot – who are now just three points away from the relegation zone.
Darren Jones and Aaron Morris played the full match for Aldershot.
Craig Davies scored another outstanding goal before helping to set up Chesterfield’s second.
Barnet 4-1 Northampton Town
I wasn’t even sure Barnet had scored four goals this season so to get four in a match, even against struggling Northampton, is amazing. Barnet move ahead of Hereford United and are now just a point behind Northampton.
Grant Basey got his first Barnet goal two minutes after the re-start from a free kick.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Bradford City 0-1 Macclesfield Town
Bradford have been doing well lately but so have Macclesfield – this was their sixth successive game without defeat.
Jason Price was a 59th minute substitute for Bradford.
Sam Wedgbury was on the bench for Macclesfield.
Cheltenham Town 1-1 Morecambe
A late penalty for Morecambe gave them a very useful point – not to mention an impressive one – against play-off hopefuls Cheltenham.
Josh Low scored Cheltenham’s goal two minutes before half-time. They say it’s good to be 1-0 up at half-time. But it’s not half as good as being 1-0 up at full-time.
Crewe Alexandra 0-1 Rotherham United
Rotherham continued their promotion push with a 1-0 away victory over Crewe.
Rhys Taylor struggled to deal with a ball from his own team-mate, which sadly ended up in the back of the net, but a Rotherham penalty from Adam Le Fondre caused him no problems at all and that's not something every goalkeeper can say.
Mark Bradley forced Rotherham into scoring an own goal. I’m sure he’d rather have scored it himself but as long as it goes in somehow.

League Two Fixtures/News 20th November 2010 (Part 1)
Aldershot Town v Chesterfield
Chesterfield have only lost once away this season. However, they have only won twice – the same number as Aldershot have won at home.
Darren Jones and Aaron Morris should both start for Aldershot.
Craig Davies will probably think he’s due a goal for Chesterfield after only scoring about two in his last four games.
Barnet v Northampton Town
Northampton manager Ian Sampson seem to think the toughest thing about Barnet is their sloping pitch. Barnet are probably grateful for it. It’s the only pitch they’ve won on in the league this season. But Northampton have only won on two pitches – their own and whoever they were playing in their solitary away win (and if I had my spreadsheets with me I could tell you who it was but I haven’t and I’m too lazy to check).
Grant Basey should be in defence for Barnet
Paul Walker will probably be on the bench for Northampton.
Bradford City v Macclesfield Town
Both these teams were looking like potential relegation fodder but both are looking fairly comfortable, with Macclesfield just two points from the play-offs and Bradford four points.
Jason Price hopes parent club Carlisle United will allow him to remain at Bradford for a bit longer. Michael Flynn will be out for some time with a groin injury.
Chelteham Town v Morecambe
Cheltenham have only lost one match at home this season and Morecambe are only two points outside the relegation zone.
Josh Low should start for Cheltenham.
Crewe Alexandra v Rotherham United
A win for Crewe might put them in the top six. But it might not happen. Rotherham are pretty good and we all know what Crewe’s drawing habits are like.
Rhys Taylor will start for Crewe but perhaps he won’t be there for much longer. He has a clause in his contract saying he can move to another club in January if he wants to. Crewe manager Dario Gradi hopes he doesn’t want to. And if Rhys wants to stay, he will play.
Mark Bradley has got a couple of starts for Rotherham recently after recovering from injury. Maybe the goals will come soon.

League Two Results 13th November (Part 2)
Macclesfield Town 2-0 Aldershot Town
Macclesfield moved into the top half of the table after beating Aldershot.
Sam Wedgbury came off Macclesfield’s bench with three minutes to go.
BBC Sport suggests Aldershot defender Darren Jones had something to do with one of Macclesfield’s goals but if he did, it didn’t make much difference to the result. Aaron Morris also played.
Northampton Town 0-0 Port Vale
Northampton have done well against the big sides on a couple of occasions this season and they did well to hold Port Vale to a draw, particularly considering they played the second half with only ten men,
Paul Walker was on Northampton’s bench.
Lewis Haldane was thrilled to make his first start of the season for Port Vale and lasted 64 minutes.
Gareth Owen played in defence, his delight at seeing Lewis back on the pitch not getting in the way of his defensive duties.
Rotherham United 2-1 Oxford United
Rotherham came back from a run of five games without a win to beat Oxford 2-1. Oxford have only won away once this season.
Mark Bradley played the full match for Rotherham.
Southend United 1-1 Accrington Stanley
Southend manager Paul Sturrock was disappointed with his side’s lack of possession but it wasn’t like they had less possession than Accrington, who are still looking for their first away win of the season.
Southend actually nearly won it but their second goal was offside.
Peter Gilbert got the assist for Southend’s equaliser.
Torquay United 1-1 Barnet
Torquay were on another winning run after finally remembering how to do it again but Barnet made sure this one wasn’t nearly as long as the last one. Barnet are still bottom of the table and without an away win this season. This was actually only the second point they’ve gained from away matches.
Grant Basey played in defence for Barnet.
Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Bradford City
A late goal for Wycombe gave them all three points against Bradford. Bradford went down to ten men following a sending-off which even the victim felt was harsh.
Jason Price played up front for Bradford. His loan spell has now come to an end but manager Peter Taylor really wants to keep him for longer.
Macclesfield moved into the top half of the table after beating Aldershot.
Sam Wedgbury came off Macclesfield’s bench with three minutes to go.
BBC Sport suggests Aldershot defender Darren Jones had something to do with one of Macclesfield’s goals but if he did, it didn’t make much difference to the result. Aaron Morris also played.

FA Cup Results 6th November 2010 (Part 1)
Accrington Stanley 3-2 Oldham Athletic
Accrington aren’t doing brilliantly in League Two while Oldham are promotion contenders in League One. But this is the FA Cup and anything can happen. And it did.
Joe Jacobson wasn’t in Oldham’s squad.
AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Ebbsfleet United
Ten years ago, Ebbsfleet were known as Gravesend & Northfleet while AFC Wimbledon didn’t even exist. But AFC Wimbledon done so well, it’s an Ebbsfleet win that would count as a giant-killing. Ebbsfleeet managed to force a replay this time… but AFC Wimbledon might have an extra incentive to get through the replay and into Round 2.
Reece Jones wasn’t in AFC Wimbledon’s squad because he’s gone on loan to Lewes.
Gareth Williams made a late substitute appearance for Ebbsfleet.
Barnet 0-0 Charlton Athletic
Barnet are the lowest-placed team in the Football League and haven’t been particularly renowned for their wins. So a draw with League One promotion hopefuls Charlton is a good result. The only problem is, this is the FA Cup so they have to play the match all over again.
Defender Grant Basey, who left Charlton this summer, played the full match for Barnet and got a good reception from the Charlton fans.
Bournemouth 5-3 Tranmere Rovers
Bournemouth are currently looking like contenders for a second successive promotion while Tranmere’s best hope of promotion is probably to get relegated this season and then promoted the following season. Bournemouth got the expected win despite resting players but three goals for Tranmere suggest they could be up for a fight after all.
Rhoys Wiggins was a 61st-minute substitute.
Brentford 1-1 Aldershot Town
Brentford are gradually climbing the League One table after a poor start but they couldn’t manage a win over League Two’s Aldershot.
Darren Jones returned to Aldershot’s starting line-up after a one-match suspension. Aaron Morris, who replaced him in the last match, was moved into defensive midfield and did a good job.
Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Woking
No Welshmen in this fixture as far as I know but well done to Conference South team Woking for getting a draw at the home of the team who are technically the highest-ranked in the competition.
Bury 2-0 Exeter City
Bury turned giant-killers when the League Two promotion hopefuls beat League One’s Exeter City.
Bury were lucky that Stockport County were happy to let them cup-tie loan goalkeeper Owain fon Williams, who probably made Stockport look as silly as Exeter.
Richard Duffy returned to the starting line-up after recovering from illness while there was a second consecutive start for Daniel Nardiello, who hit the post but didn’t score. Rob Edwards was on the bench.
Cambridge United 0-0 Huddersfield Town
Non-league side Cambridge managed to hold one of the biggest clubc in the competition to a draw. Dave Partridge played the full match for Cambridge but also picked up his fifth yellow card of the season.
Cheltenham Town 1-0 Morecambe
Last season, Morecambe were in the play-offs while Cheltenham finished third from bottom. But this season, it’s Morecambe who have had the shakier start, while Cheltenham have looked like promotion contenders. No surprises in this Cup match – Cheltenham go through.
Josh Low came close to putting Cheltenham ahead but didn’t. But he has had a good season and he feels this is because he has such a good relationship with his manager.
Accrington aren’t doing brilliantly in League Two while Oldham are promotion contenders in League One. But this is the FA Cup and anything can happen. And it did.
Joe Jacobson wasn’t in Oldham’s squad.
AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Ebbsfleet United

FA Cup Fixtures 6th November 2010 (Part 1)
Accrington Stanley v Oldham Athletic
Joe Jacobson was hoping to force his way back into the Oldham first-team after spending the summer on the transfer list. A match against League Two Accrington could give him his chance.
AFC Wimbledon v Ebbsfleet United
Reece Jones signed for AFC Wimbledon this season after leaving Fulham.
Gareth Williams has just recovered from an injury and is likely to be on the bench for Ebbsfleet but he’s pretty dangerous even as a substitute.
Barnet v Charlton Athletic
Grant Basey should keep his place for Barnet against the club he played for last season.
Bournemouth v Tranmere Rovers
Rhoys Wiggins should start for Bournemouth.
Tranmere’s Ash Taylor is still out witn an ankle injury.
Brentford v Aldershot Town
Darren Jones is likely to return to Aldershot’s team after serving a one-match suspension. Aaron Morris took Darren’s place in the team while he was suspended so he could be back on the bench.
Bury v Exeter City
Owain fon Williams is at Bury on loan from Stockport County but he has been given permission to play against Exeter.
Daniel Nardiello is expected to start for Exeter after recovering from a hamstring injury. Richard Duffy could return to Exeter’s starting line-up if he’s fully recovered from illness – but if he doesn’t, Rob Edwards could keep his place. I’m not sure we’ll see Andy Marriott this season but if he’s going to play/sit on the bench, it’s most likely to happen against lower league opposition.

League Two Resuts 2nd November 2010 (Part 2)
Cheltenham Town A-A Southend United
Cheltenham were leading 1-0 when the match was abandoned due to floodlight failure.
Josh Low got the assist for Cheltehnam's goal so he's probably a bit annoyed it won't count.
He won't be as annoyed as Southend's Peter Gilbert though. He picked up his second yellow card at the weekend and he didn't mind missing this match if it meant he could play in the FA Cup the following weekend. But suspensions only count if the match is completed and this one wasn't/
Hereford United 2-2 Aldershot Town
Hereford’s search for a home win continues after a draw with Aldershot.
Stuart Fleetwood did a pretty good job coming off the bench in the last two games, first scoring two goals for his side, then one. Unfortunately the pattern continued and he ended up scoring none in this game. How many will he score next week, minus one? It’s possible, he could score a disallowed goal.
Tony James played his final game on loan at Hereford but was substituted in thr 45th minute due to injury which really messes up Burton Albion’s plans. Ryan Green and Ryan Valentine also played.
Aldershot decided not to appeal against Darren Jones’ red card so he missed this match. And there’s a lot to be said for missing a match against a former club where the supporters might be just a little bit annoyed with you.
Aaron Morris took Darren’s place in central defence and helped them to get a point
Lincoln Cirt 0-2 Northampton Town
Northampton win their second game in succession but if there is such thing as an easy game, at this or any other level, a home match against Gillingham (whose away form has been well-documented) and any match against Lincoln (who have only won one of their last nine games) could be included in this description. But three points is three points (especially at the wrong end of the table, where three points can seem like six) and it will hopefully give Northampton a bit more confidence to push up the table.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Morecambe 5-0 Stockport County
Stockport suffered their second successive defeat to a struggling side when Morecambe thrashed them 5-0. Although to be fair to Morecambe, it doesn’t look like they did much struggling in this match.
Anthony Pulis played the full match for Stockport.
Rotherham United 1-1 Macclesfield Town
Macclesfield must have got all hopeful when they took an 84th-minute lead against Rotherham. But a minute later (it can’t have been much of a goal celebration then) Rotherham had their equaliser.
Mark Bradley wasn’t in Rotherham’s squad.
Sam Wedgbury was an unused substitute for the third consecutive game. Not that I’m counting.

League Two Results 30th October 2010 (Part 1)
Accrington Stanley 2-4 Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham move into the play-off places after beating Accrington. The home are one of three sides in the division who are without an away win – so the last thing they need is for their home form to falter too.
Josh Low played the full match for Cheltenham.
Aldershot Town 1-3 Bury
It was a disappointing day for Aldershot and manager Kevin Dillon blames the referee. Aldershot had two players sent off and he planned to appeal against both. Bury’s impressive away form continues
Darren Jones had been on the field for just 23 minutes when the referee showed him a red card that did look a bit harsh to me but I’m not sure I trust my judgement. Darren conceded a penalty too but luckily for him, Bury missed it. Aaron Morris came off the bench to fill the gap in Aldershot’s defence.
Owain fon Williams debut for loan club Bury didn’t exactly get off to the best possible start when he found the ball in his net after eleven minutes. But he made sure it didn’t happen again and the match finished off as a good win for Bury.
Bradford City 5-0 Oxford United
Oxford were not the only team to receive two red cards this week but as Bradford had a player sent off too, they only had a slight numerical advantage.
Jason Price came off Bradford’s bench after 77 minutes.
Macclesfield Town 2-1 Burton Albion
Macclesfield hope to have at least fifty points by the end of the season. They now have eighteen and are a point ahead of Burton, who are yet to win away.
Sam Wedgbury was an unused substitute for Macclesfield but so were all the rest of the substitutes.
Northampton Town 2-1 Gillingham
Northampton were hoping to end a run of three straight defeats. If they could have chosen their opponents for this match, Gillingham probably would have been top of the list. True to form, Gillingham failed to win away for the 34th consecutive time.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Port Vale 2-1 Crewe Alexandra
Port Vale would have been glad to beat Crewe, firstly because they are local rivals but also because they haven’t won any of their last four league games. Crewe are now in ninth, two points outside the play-offs.
Gareth Owen played in defence for Port Vale.
Rhys Taylor conceded a penalty for Crewe (and this one actually did look like a penalty) but I still love him. When he’s Chelsea’s #1, maybe he can do the same against Arsenal. But not when he’s playing for Wales.
Shrewsbury Town 2-1 Barnet
Shrewsbury v Barnet – it sounds like a match with only one outcome – a home win. And that’s exactly what happened but Barnet fought hard. However, Shrewsbury took the three points and kept their unbeaten home record intact.
Tom Bradshaw didn’t play for Shrewsbury because of an ankle injury he picked up when playing for Wales’ under-19s. Grant Basey was also injured.
Cheltenham move into the play-off places after beating Accrington. The home are one of three sides in the division who are without an away win – so the last thing they need is for their home form to falter too.
Josh Low played the full match for Cheltenham.
Aldershot Town 1-3 Bury
It was a disappointing day for Aldershot and manager Kevin Dillon blames the referee. Aldershot had two players sent off and he planned to appeal against both. Bury’s impressive away form continues
Darren Jones had been on the field for just 23 minutes when the referee showed him a red card that did look a bit harsh to me but I’m not sure I trust my judgement. Darren conceded a penalty too but luckily for him, Bury missed it. Aaron Morris came off the bench to fill the gap in Aldershot’s defence.
Owain fon Williams debut for loan club Bury didn’t exactly get off to the best possible start when he found the ball in his net after eleven minutes. But he made sure it didn’t happen again and the match finished off as a good win for Bury.
Bradford City 5-0 Oxford United
Oxford were not the only team to receive two red cards this week but as Bradford had a player sent off too, they only had a slight numerical advantage.
Jason Price came off Bradford’s bench after 77 minutes.
Macclesfield Town 2-1 Burton Albion
Macclesfield hope to have at least fifty points by the end of the season. They now have eighteen and are a point ahead of Burton, who are yet to win away.
Sam Wedgbury was an unused substitute for Macclesfield but so were all the rest of the substitutes.
Northampton Town 2-1 Gillingham
Northampton were hoping to end a run of three straight defeats. If they could have chosen their opponents for this match, Gillingham probably would have been top of the list. True to form, Gillingham failed to win away for the 34th consecutive time.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.
Port Vale 2-1 Crewe Alexandra
Port Vale would have been glad to beat Crewe, firstly because they are local rivals but also because they haven’t won any of their last four league games. Crewe are now in ninth, two points outside the play-offs.
Gareth Owen played in defence for Port Vale.
Rhys Taylor conceded a penalty for Crewe (and this one actually did look like a penalty) but I still love him. When he’s Chelsea’s #1, maybe he can do the same against Arsenal. But not when he’s playing for Wales.
Shrewsbury Town 2-1 Barnet
Shrewsbury v Barnet – it sounds like a match with only one outcome – a home win. And that’s exactly what happened but Barnet fought hard. However, Shrewsbury took the three points and kept their unbeaten home record intact.
Tom Bradshaw didn’t play for Shrewsbury because of an ankle injury he picked up when playing for Wales’ under-19s. Grant Basey was also injured.

League Two Fixtures 2nd November 2010 (Part 2)
Crewe Alexandra v Shrewsbury Town
Rhys Taylor will play in goal for Crewe.
Tom Bradshaw is missing for Shrewsbury due to injury.
Hereford United v Aldershot Town
Hereford are without defender Tony James, whose loan has come to an end but they’ve still got Ryan Green and Ryan Valentine. Stuart Fleetwood is pushing for a start after scoring three in his last three substitute appearances.
Aldershot are without Darren Jones, who is suspended following a red card against Bury. Aaron Morris came off the bench to plug the hole left in the defence so he’ll be hoping to start in Darren’s place.
Lincoln City v Northampton Town
Paul Walker seems to be Northampton’s second-choice goalkeeper now.
Morecambe v Stockport County
Southampton loanee Anthony Pulis will hope to start for Stockport. It’s all gone downhill a bit for Anthony but it does tend to happen when you score on your debut.
Rotherham United v Macclesfield Town
Rotherham’s Mark Bradley could take the place if injured Arsenal loanee Mark Randall.
Sam Wedgbury will probably be on the bench for Macclesfield.
Rhys Taylor will play in goal for Crewe.

Crewe Alexandra 3-1 Aldershot Town
Rhys Taylor played in goal for Crewe.
Darren Jones was in defence for Aldershot with Aaron Morris on the bench.
Hereford United 1-1 Accrington Stanley
Ryan Green, Tony James and Ryan Valentine played in defence for Hereford. Stuart Fleetwood came off the bench after 72 minutes. Last time Stuart came on as a substitute, he’d scored two goals by the 70th minute and Hereford came back to win. He came on a bit too late this time.
Lincoln City 0-0 Stockport County
Anthony Pulis played the full match for loan side Stockport County – against last season’s loan side Lincoln City. Owain fon Williams was on the bench.
Oxford United 3-1 Northampton Town
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.

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.
Accrington’s unbeaten home record ended with a stoppage-time goal from Rotherham.

League Two Fixtures 16th October 2010 Part 1
Accrington Stanley v Rotherham United
Mark Bradley will hope for a fourth consecutive start for Rotherham.
Aldershot Town v Morecambe
Darren Jones should keep his place in defence for Aldershot. Aaron Morris has a chance of returning to the starting line-up due to the suspension of team-mate Jamie Vincent.
As for Morecambe’s Darren Moss, I’ve heard nothing but rumours.
Bradford City v Cheltenham Town
Jason Price is likely to sit on the bench for his first match as a Bradford loanee but maybe he’ll get to come off the bench and score a winning goal. Michael Flynn (groin) probably won’t be fit enough to play for Bradford.
Josh Low should play in midfield for Cheltenham.
Macclesfield Town v Oxford United
Sam Wedgbury is probably more likely to be on the bench for Macclesfield.
Rhys Day won’t play for Oxford as he’s joined Mansfield Town on loan.
Northampton Town v Hereford United
Paul Walker will be on the bench for Northampton.
Ryan Green, Ryan Valentine and Tony James should make Hereford’s back four 75% Welsh. Assuming they play with four at the back. If I have made a mistake, perhaps one of the lovely people at Bulls News could let me know. Stuart Fleetwood should be ready to return from a back injury.
Mark Bradley will hope for a fourth consecutive start for Rotherham.

League Two Results 9th October 2010 Part 2
Hereford United 1-1 Port Vale
It was bottom v top and Port Vale had until this match only lost one away game. Hereford’s losses included seven games and their manager Simon Davey so this wasn’t a bad result at all. Hereford will be disappointed after missing a penalty, while Port Vale had an offside goal ruled out but as Hereford went down to ten men after just 25 minutes, maybe the overriding emotion is relief.
Hereford’s physiotherapist took charge of this match – they might be off-form but Hereford are very much on-trend.
Ryan Green returned from illness to play in defence for Hereford alongside Ryan Valentine and loanee Tony James. Stuart Fleetwood missed out with a back injury.
Gareth Owen played in defence for Port Vale.
Lincoln City 2-1 Macclesfield Town
Lincoln climb out of the bottom two after beating Macclesfield.
Sam Wedgbury made a late substitute appearance for Macclesfield.
Morecambe 1-0 Shrewsbury Town
Morecambe got their first home win of the season with victory over Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury remain in the play-off places despite a fifth consecutive match without a win.
Tom Bradshaw has done more than his fair share of supersub goal-scoring exploits so no-one can blame the teenager for not doing the business for Shrewsbury this time.
Oxford United 0-1 Aldershot Town
Aldershot’s victory lifts then above Oxford, who spent more than half the match with just ten men on the field.
Injured defender Rhys Day, now at Oxford, missed the chance to play against his former side.
Darren Jones played the full match for Aldershot but Aaron Morris was on the bench again.
Rotherham United 1-1 Stevenage Borough
Rotherham had to be content with a draw against Stevenage but at least they’re still in the top three and still unbeaten at home.
After scoring in Rotherham’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy over Burton Albion, Mark Bradley was back in the starting line-up.
