Championship Fixtures 20th March Part 1

Blackpool v Crystal Palace
Blackpool remain in touch with the play-offs. At one time, Crystal Palace were too but not anymore.
Neal Eardley won’t play for Blackpool as he has a hamstring injury and as they’ve signed someone on loan to cover for him, it doesn’t look like he’ll be back for a few weeks.
Rob Edwards and David Vaughan should be available.

Bristol City v Newcastle United
Bristol City sacked their manager this week but I’m not sure that will help them to win.
Lewin Nyatanga was on the bench for Bristol City’s last match but he could be recalled if the caretaker boss likes him enough. Christian Ribeiro was also on the bench but James Wilson is out with a knee injury.

Doncaster Rovers v Sheffield United
Doncaster continue their shock play-off bid and a Sheffield United scalp will only help.
Gareth Roberts and John Oster both scored for Doncaster last week but even if they hadn’t it would be mad to leave them out.
Brian Stock (Doncaster) and Ched Evans (Sheffield United) have both talked about a quick return from their back and shoulder injuries respectively. Neither have made it but they’re not far off.

Middlesbrough v Reading
Middlesbrough are still clinging to their promotion hopes but Reading could go ahead of them if their good form continues.
Danny Coyne will probably stay in goal for Boro but Rhys Williams is suspended after being sent off against Derby County.
Simon Church is one of quite a few strikers who could start for Reading.
