So top of the table FGR who had played 4 won 4 lost at home to a certain Darell Clarke's Port Vale 0-2.
Port Vale & Tranmere have also the best defences after 5 games played, only conceding 2 goals each.
PV have scored 3 goals and TR have only scored 1 goal, best defences but poor on scoring.
Oldham who had done the opposite played 4 lost 4 actually won away 1-2 at a very poor Sutton United.
BRFC have to buck their ideas up and quick, home to Crawley who are 20th is a must win game.

Our former captain and now Mansfield leader Ollie Clarke got sent off today, a minute later followed by Quinn as they lost at home to new leaders Harrogate 1-3.
Leon Clarke scored within 90 seconds of his debut, Belshaw played a blinder, Crawley had 19 shots to our 8, but we managed to win 1-0 - crowd was 6,513.
Roll on the 540 mile round trip game v Hartlepool next saturday, they lie in 7th place, we are in 16th.

Bradford drew at home to 10 man Walsall which tbh looks like a bit of a freak result. 13 corners for the home side tells its own story.
Bradford are 3rd with 11 points but their record of w3 d2 l1 shows how this season has already produced a lot of draws.
Only Oldham and Hartlepool have not drawn yet.
Carlisle impressively beat Saltford 2-1, who must be wondering whether Gary Bowyer is the right man for them. Matt Lund played for Saltford in that game.
Exeter and FGR drew nothing each.
Exeter have won once, they appear to be proving what a freak that was and unfortunate that we got in the way.
Mansfield losing at home to Harrogate is the result of the weekend. Ollie Clarke got sent off, last man straight red but I thought it was harsh and not necessarily clear cut goal scoring opportunity.
Quinn also went in the same incident, Harrogate are unbeaten and top with 13pts and a game in hand. We bought their keeper though..
Newput drew with LOrient. Dom Telford scored. Kenny Jackett has got Orient playing well and we will do well to get anything vs them imo.
Nothants beat Scun 2-0 with Hoskins and Rose getting back on the scoresheet, one striker after 32 games without scoring, it's not just Rovers.
Oldham 0-3 Barrow says a lot. There was a pitch invasion after the 3rd goal and a sit in in the centre circle.
Port Vale appeared to suffer from underestimating Dale. Proctor scored 2 again.
Steve drew with Swindon. James Daly dived late on. Linesy almost scored a spectacular half volley from 25 yards. Mitchell-Lawson bought a dodgy pen late on.
Tom Davies scored the winner as Tranmere beat Hartlepool.
Rovers have a nose bleed up to 16th. They have remained unbeaten in half of their last 6 league games. They have scored in 5 out of 6 games this season in the league.
They have won 2 home games on the bounce since Joey Bartons team beat Shrewsbury and then Accrington last season.
Crawley will struggle. They weren't all that and didn't trouble us as much as some have made out. Belshaw saved all the simple stuff, some that Anssi occasionally lets in. I thought Rovers deserved to win.

Harrogate drew 2-2 at home against Newport last night, but remain top of the table. I wondered if there was an explanation for their excellent start to the season, but (at least as suggested in this Grauniad article) it appears to be unity and hard work. The manager is the son of the owner! Link to Harrogate Town's Set-up

Bottom club Sutton beat Stevenage 2-1, then beat Hartlepool 1-0 to rise up 9 places to 15th.
Northampton lost 1-0 to FGR, then beat Newport 0-1 to nestle nicely in to 3rd place.
Exeter travelled to Scunthorpe on a 9hr, 560 mile round trip to bring home a fab 0-4 result.
Rochdale have had a recent great run of results bagging a 1-0 win over Tranmere.
Mansfield cannot buy a win at the moment losing 3-1 to Walsall.
Leyton Orient sit in a healthy 4th place after a 4-0 win over a very sad Oldham.
And BRFC made the 550 mile round trip to lose 1-0 at Hartlepool. Roll on Leyton Orient (h) & Walsall (a) to claim 6 out of 6 points..(🤣)..!!
