Game of the Weekend

Yeovil 3-3 Swindon

In the 87^th minute, leading 3-1, Yeovil must have thought they were home and dry. But Swindon showed the fighting spirit that go

t them to the Play Off Final last year to turn it around through quality goals from Morrison and McGovern. The game had begun in very predictable fashion with Charlie Austin getting his name on the scoresheet for the 7^th time already this season. However, the Robins were pegged back just before half time, and Yeovil built on that goal in the second half until Swindon fought back to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat.

Player of the Weekend

Dale Jennings (Tranmere)

The game at Prenton Park this weekend really was the Dale Jennings show. The 17 year-old ran everything from the left side of midfield. He had a hand in every goal, grabbing himself 2 goals and also laying on 2 assists. He is faster than Usain Bolt, trickier than Cristiano Ronaldo and, for a right-footed player, has a left foot that would have Ryan Giggs turning in his grave. Don’t be surprised if you see this kid moving onwards and upwards in the January transfer window.

Performance of the Weekend

Brighton and Hove Albion

There really is only one team to choose from at the moment. Brighton are ripping League One to pieces and leaving destruction in their wake.

Having beaten Charlton 4-0 at the Valley, causing the Covered End choir to call for Phil Parkinson’s head, they had a similar effect at London Road as they comfortably took down another promotion contender and brought Gary Johnson’s position into question, despite the fact Peterborough still sit 5^th in League One. Gus Poyet has got the Seagulls playing a style of football that wouldn’t look out of place in La Liga, and they enjoyed a League One-record 82% possession last week as they brushed aside Yeovil Town. This week, goals from Inigo Calderon and two from Ashley Barnes saw off the Posh. It’s just like watching Spain. Or Uruguay, maybe.

Goal of the Weekend

Dale Jennings' 2^nd

With Tranmere already 2-1 up, Jennings received the ball on the left-hand corner of the penalty area before faking to go inside, cutting back and unleashing a powerful curling shot into the top right corner. Beautiful stuff from our player of the week.

Pass of the Weekend

Stephen Dawson for Orient’s 2^nd goal

On the turn on the edge of the box, Dawson received the ball at pace and in one touch flicked it round his body Bergkamp-style for Dean Cox to run on to and put Orient 2-1 up. Skill, awareness and vision out of the top drawer. Definitely worth a watch.

Controversy of the Weekend

Carlisle penalty vs Bristol Rovers in the 90^th minute

Carlisle were awarded a penalty in the final minute of their match away at Bristol Rovers for a very tenuous handball against Gary Sawyer in the six-yard box. Luckily for Carlisle, and also perhaps the referee’s safety, Mikkel Andersen saved Gary Madine’s penalty meaning that the two teams shared the points at the Memorial Stadium.
