STAR OF THE WEEKEND
Graham Kavanagh – Carlisle United
The former
Stoke and Republic of Ireland star has come in for some criticism on occasions this season but rolled back the years with a vintage performance against
Charlton. He scored two stunning goals that opposition manager Phil Parkinson drooling at his ‘Premier League quality’.
GAME OF THE WEEKEND
Bournemouth 0-4 Rochdale
Keith Hill’s side turned in a tremendous performance to upset the league leaders on their own patch and smash home four goals.
Rochdale have missed out in the play-offs for the past two seasons but this year might finally be their time despite losing the goals of
Adam Le Fondre to
Rotherham.
GOAL OF THE WEEKEND
Scott Davies – Wycombe Wanderers
The on-loan midfielder scored two fantastic goals for
Wycombe who still fell to defeat against
Walsall. However, his first – an audacious 40-yard free-kick that lobbed
Clayton Ince – was pure genius.
CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT OF THE WEEKEND
Phil Parkinson is sent to the stands after losing his cool following a controversial penalty awarded to
Carlisle in their 3-1 win over Charlton.
He said: “We were beaten by a debatable penalty and two fantastic finishes. I was annoyed and lost my cool which is not good. The referee said there was a push but he almost had his mind made up before the ball came into the box.”
SHOCK OF THE WEEKEND
Russell Slade dismissed by Brighton
Russell Slade is no longer manager of
Brighton and Hove Albion after just eight months at the helm. He saved Albion from the drop last season after arriving in March but a close season spending spree expectations were high at the Withdean Stadium. However, Saturday’s 3-3 draw with
Hartlepool left them just one place above the drop zone and chairman Tony Bloom relieved him of his duties.
