League One Fixtures 25th September 2010 Part 1

Bournemouth v Carlisle United
With Carlisle struggling last season before hauling themselves up to mid-table, and with Bournemouth a newly promoted team, this might not have looked like a key fixture on paper. And perhaps it isn’t, the season has only just started after all. But both teams could potentially be top of the league (or joint top on Bounremouth’s case) by the end of today
Rhoys Wiggins should keep his place in Bournemouth’s starting line-up after scoring in his last two games. Joe Partington is more likely to be on the bench.
Jason Price is still yet to make his first start as an official Carisle player but he might have to be content with a substitute appearance again.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Oldham Athletic
Brighton are one of League One’s surprise packages so far – they are joint top of League One. But Oldham have also had a good start and it will be nice if these teams can be involved in a promotion battle this season. It would form an interesting contract with last season’s relegation battle.
Joe Jacobson will probably be on the bench for Oldham.

Bristol Rovers v Notts County
Notts County are yet to win away this season but if there’s one thing we know about Bristol Rovers is that any result is possible. (Well technically that’s true of every team but maybe Bristol Rovers are a bit less predictable than most.)
Byron Anthony should keep his place in Bristol Rovers’ defence. Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards will be on the bench.
Ben Davies will hope to his goal and assist tallies from County’s midfield.

Charlton Athletic v Dagenham & Redbridge
Charlton might be mid-table but they’re still only three points from the top of the table. And they’ll fancy their chances of getting three points against a side which has only won once this season and are yet to get a single point away.
Tony Roberts will be in goal for Dag & Red.

Colchester United v Tranmere Rovers
Apparently this is Colchester’s best start to a season for years which is a surprise considering how well they started last season. Their start could get even better considering that Tranmere are in the bottom four and they haven’t won any games away.
Lloyd James is probably most likely to be on the bench for Colchester. Lee Beevers is out with a pram injury.

Hartlepool United v Walsall
Hartlepool are out of the relegation places but only on goal difference and they’ve picked up just one point on their home ground so far. They face Walsall, who also have six points but a better goal difference.
Sean Geddes might or might not be on Walsall’s bench. He wasn’t last week and he did play for the reserves two days ago. He scored a goal too.
