Championship Fixtures 30th January Part 1

Cardiff City v Doncaster Rovers
Cardiff will be hoping to build on Tuesday’s stunning victory over Bristol City – but they’ll have to do it without Joe Ledley, who is due to have his first hip operation today. Adam Matthews recovered from his groin injury in time to play in the last match and there was another good showing from Darcy Blake, this time from the bench. I would start both of them but I’m biased. Aaron Wildig failed a fitness test on his back injury on Tuesday but the fact he had a fitness test at all shows he’s not that far off.
John Oster and Brian Stock missed Doncaster’s last match m John with a hamstring problem and Brian with a twisted ankle but Brian is certain to return. He is also hoping he has a future playing for Wales. John on the other hand is rumoured to have been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour and could be looking for a new club as a result.
Gareth Roberts should play for Doncaster as he’s been a good boy.

Coventry City v Blackpool
Coventry will be hoping Freddy Eastwood is able to return to the side after a knee injury ruled him out last weekend’s game against Watford but his chances of passing a fitness test are far from certain. Neal Eardley, who was in the Championship team of the Week, and David Vaughan should keep their places in Blackpool’s side and after getting an assist in his last game, a start for Daniel Nardiello doesn’t seem impossible. Rob Edwards has been on the bench since returning from suspension but he’s probably due a start.

Crystal Palace v Peterborough United
Crystal Palace have had a ten-point deduction after going into administration and are now just one place above the relegation zone. Peterborough badly need points and will be doing their best to take advantage of Palace’s situation. They’ll be without Craig Morgan, who is still suspended, but Palace will be without Victor Moses, who needs to be sold to raise funds.
