League One

Bradford 0 Yeovil 2

Two-goal match-winner Arron

Davies was brought crashing

down to earth by perfectionist

Yeovil boss Russell Slade.

Davies struck in each half to seal

Yeovil’s first-ever win against

Bradford and push the in-form

West Country side up to fourth.

The attacking midfielder took

his season’s tally to five, but Slade

— who is close to landing Stoke

winger Peter Sweeney on loan for

the rest of the season — said:

"Arron took his goals well, but

really he could have had a

hat-trick. If we’d had a little more

composure in front of goal we

could have scored more but this

is still a great result." Davies broke the deadlock after five minutes,

latching on to Anthony Barry’s

pass to fire beyond keeper

Donovan Ricketts.

The lead was doubled on

67 minutes, Davies following

up to score from a narrow angle

after David Wetherall had only

half-cleared.

Bradford’s Jermaine Johnson

was ordered off 10 minutes from

time to end any comeback hopes,

the Jamaican striker earning a

straight red card for his protests

as sub Eddie Johnson’s effortwas

controversially ruled offside.

Brentford 0 Carlisle 0

Neil Shipperley made his debut for

rock-bottom Brentford, but manager Scott

Fitzgerald says the veteran striker will need better service to make an impact.

Despite the presence of the 32-year-old former

Sheffield United, Southampton, Crystal Palace

and Chelsea player, Brentford failed to create a

single clear-cut chance.

Fitzgerald said: "I think Neil’s going to be a very good signing. He has scored loads of goals from crosses in his career,but if we check back and play safe, he is not going to find the net."

Carlisle hit the post through Karl Hawley in the

first half and could have snatched victory at the

end when substitute Joe Garner drilled wide from

the best chance of the match.

Brighton 0 Port Vale 0

Brighton went achingly close to their first

home win in seven weeks when striker Jake

Robinson shot just wide after the break and was

later brilliantly denied by Vale keeper Joe Anyon.

Boss Dean Wilkins saluted the home support,

saying: "The fans have been magnificent. At least

they’re seeing lots of effort and determination."

Vale’s effort satisfied manager Martin Foyle as

this was only their second point in six games.

Crewe 0 Leyton Orient 4

Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling admitted he

is still on the lookout for another striker despite watching his side thrash sorry Crewe.

Adam Chambers and Wayne Corden netted

either side of half-time, before Jabo Ibehre and

Shane Tudor completed the rout as Orient ended

their six-game winless streak.

But Ling,who has been frustrated in his effort to

sign a forward, said: "It doesn’t move the goalposts and we are still gutted about not being able to

sign a striker. The fact is we still need to get one in."

Crewe boss Dario Gradi said: "I blame our keeper

for three of the goals and there is nothing you can do about that."

Doncaster 3 Rotherham 2

Rotherham boss Alan Knill blamed poor

defending for the defeat that plunged his side

deeper into relegation danger.

Knill said: "We showed the right passion, commitment

and pride but it’s no good if you concede

goals like that. For us to get out of the

position we’re in,we have to defend better."

Richie Partridge fired the visitors in front with a

superb volley on 10 minutes but Paul Heffernan

headed Doncaster level two minutes later.

Graeme Lee made it 2-1 to Rovers following a

corner early in the second half and Heffernan

added a third in the 59th minute. Although

Martin Woods pulled one back after 71 minutes it

was Doncaster who finished well on top.

Manager Sean O’Driscoll said: "We showed great

belief to come from behind against the league

leaders the previous week and we did it again

against a team that played better than their

position might suggest."

Huddersfield 1 Chesterfield 1

Chesterfield boss Roy McFarland

believes his side can stay in League One

without striker Caleb Folan who signed for

Wigan on Friday. McFarland said: "We have

enough firepower to climb the league."

On-loan Kyle Critchell found Peter

Holmes to head home in the 23rd minute,

but eight minutes after the restart Matty

Young scored his first Huddersfield goal

and his side could have gone on to win.

Huddersfield boss Peter Jackson said:

"I don’t know why we need the shock of

going behind before we start playing."

Scunthorpe 3 Millwall 0

It is hard to believe that just three years ago

Millwall were on their way to an FA Cup Final

and Scunthorpe were teetering on the brink of

relegation to the Conference.

Now the club that used to be a music hall joke

are confounding the critics as they zoom towards

the Championship while Millwall are in danger of

dropping to the bottom rung of the league ladder

for the first time since the swinging Sixties.

Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins said: "People

keep expecting the bubble to burst, but we are

top of the table on merit, holding off the big clubs

with bigger budgets and we are just enjoying the

ride. Don’t tell my players they can’t go up

because they simply won’t give up on the dream

and who knows where it can take us?"

Millwall boss Willie Donachie remained

optimistic despite the reverse. He said:

"Scunthorpe are a very strong side, good all round

and without a weakness. I believe they can hold

off Forest, Bristol City and the rest to go up, but as

for us, I’m convinced we are moving along the

right lines and can only get better."

In truth, Millwall were rarely in the game.

Scunthorpe keeper, Joe Murphy had only a couple

of saves to make in the last minute of the first half

from Tom Brighton and Neil Harris, while Lenny

Pidgeley was being peppered left, right and centre at the other end.

Jermaine Beckford, on loan from Leeds, missed

three chances before scoring on 79 minutes by

which time Scunthorpe were well in command

thanks to Jim Goodwin’s 50th-minute opener and

an Andy Crosby penalty three minutes later.
