LEAGUE TWO

FOREST GREEN 0 TRANMERE 0

ROVERS boss Rob Edwards felt his side had enough chances to win against Tranmere Rovers. The leaders hit the bar through Matty Stevens in the second half in a game that saw Luke McGee and Ross Doohan shine in goal for both sides. ‘It was a good point against a very good team,’ said Edwards. ‘I thought we had chances to win the game.’

LEYTON ORIENT 0 MANSFIELD 0

KENNY JACKETT was disappointed after seeing his Orient team held to a draw by 10-men Mansfield. ‘It was slightly frustrating for us at the end,’ he admitted. The visitors lost Tyrese Sinclair to a red card for violent conduct and boss Nigel Clough said: ‘The lads really stood up.’

HARROGATE 0 STEVENAGE 0

SIMON WEAVER has admitted his Harrogate team must up the entertainment levels if they are going to attract bigger crowds to Wetherby Road. ‘The only way we are going to grow support in the area is to play attacking football and that’s what we want to do,’ he said.

DAVE CHALLINOR was not disappointed despite his Hartlepool side being held. ‘We showed real intent from the start,’ he said. The hosts took the lead through Luke Molyneux before Sam Nombe equalised.

CRAWLEY 2 BRADFORD 1

DEREK ADAMS admitted there were not any positives he could draw from his Bradford side’s defeat at Crawley. Goals in each half from Will Ferry and Nick Tsaroulla won it for the hosts, with City replying through Callum Cooke. Adams said: ‘It was extremely poor defensively.’

SALFORD 2 NORTHAMPTON 2

SALFORD boss Gary Bowyer said his side had a ‘right good go.’ Northampton took the lead through Paul Lewis before Matty Lund’s equaliser. Mitch Pinnock thought he had won it until Ash Eastham’s late header for Salford.

SCUNTHORPE 0 PORT VALE 1

BOSS Darrell Clarke is refusing to get carried away by Vale’s good start to the season. Ben Garrity’s clinical finish secured the visitors a third successive victory but Clarke is keeping his feet on the ground. He said: ‘We’re not even a quarter of the way through the season.’

WALSALL 1 BRISTOL ROVERS 2
