League Two Fixtures 17th April Part 1

Accrington Stanley v Hereford United
Accrington still have a mathematical chance of getting into the play-offs but Hereford are guaranteed to be in League Two next season.
Ryan Green has either a hamstring injury or a groin injury but as hamstring injuries are so in this week I think it’s probably that. Ryan faces a late fitness test but Ryan Valentine and Darren Jones are likely to be in Hereford’s team. The Hereford Times says Darren’s central defensive partnership with Richard Rose has been key to their revival.

Bournemouth v Darlington
Bournemouth are six points clear in the automatic promotion places but I’m sure they’d prefer it if that gap didn’t get any smaller. Darlington have done well since the appointment of their new manager but despite beating league leaders Rochdale (as they were then) last week, Darlington were consigned to spend the next season in the Blue Square Premier.
Rhoys Wiggins will start for Bournemouth but Joe Partington is most likely to be on the bench.

Bradford City v Barnet
Bradford are safe from relegation but they same can’t be said of Barnet, who are currently the team Grimsby Town are most likely to catch if there’s a miracle.
Michael Flynn is training again after recovering from a rib injury and could be back in Bradford’s team.

Bury v Port Vale
Both these teams were looking as though they could miss out on the play-offs but with Bury currently in 5th place and Port Vale just two points outside the play-off zone, both are very much back in it. If indeed they were ever out of it.
Gareth Owen, Craig Davies and Lewis Haldane could all start for Port Vale.

Dagenham & Redbridge v Burton Albion
Dag & Red are another side who are hoping to get into the play-offs and they’re only two points away. Burton are three points away from the top half of the table although goal difference will probably prevent them from actually getting there if results do go their way.
The strikers of both sides will have a job to do today – both are up against Welshmen called Tony. Tony Roberts is Dag & Red’s goalkeeper while Tony James plays n central defence for Burton,
