League One Fixtures 5th April Part 2

Hartlepool United v Brighton & Hove Albion
Hartlepool are just two points outside the relegation zone. Brighton were there once but now they’re only three points away from the top half of the table.
Brighton captain Andrew Crofts has been a key figure for Brighton as they’ve pulled away from danger. He really has. Ask the manager if you don’t trust me.

Norwich City v Stockport County
The top side face the bottom side. A home win looks like the only possible result but Norwich have a suspended goalkeeper and will be forced to field a youngster (when I say youngster he’s only six months younger than me but for a goalkeeper, he’s young).
And Stockport’s goalkeeper Owain fon Williams actually isn’t all that bad.
I would love Owain Tudur Jones and Josh Dawkin to get into Norwich’s squad but I don’t think they will, even though both have been doing well in the reserves. I wonder if either of them can play in goal.

Southampton v Leyton Orient
Southampton continue to have a go at getting to the play-offs (Leeds did it with a points deduction but they didn’t get through and still haven’t), while Leyton Orient face life without their Welsh former manager Geraint Williams.
Lloyd James is likely to be in Southampton’s squad but if it’s true he’s going to need an operation, he probably won’t start. But he still seems to get picked ahead of Anthony Pulis.

Swindon Town v Tranmere Rovers
Swindon are in second place but need a win to ensure they stay there. They face Tranmere, who are fighting for the lives, as the saying goes. And they’re currently winning the battle.
Billy Bodin was probably only on Swindon’s bench recently to cover injuries but I’m sure it won’t be the last time he’s in the squad.
Tranmere also have a young Welshman in their ranks: Ash Taylor has been one of their best players this season.

Walsall v Wycombe Wanderers
Wycombe look like they’re down and there’s still a small chance Walsall could join them.
Rhys Weston will probably start for Walsall with Mark Bradley on the bench.
