Championship Fixtures 30th October 2010 (Part 4)

Reading v Doncaster Rovers
Both teams are tied (with a number of other teams) on 19 points. A win could put them into the play-off places. Reading’s Welsh strikers won’t remember the last time Doncaster beat Reading – it was quite a few years before they were born.
Simon Church came off the bench to score Reading’s winning goal in a 4-0 victory over Burnley and he might have won himself a place in the starting line-up. Hopefully it won’t be at the expense of Hal Robson-Kanu.
John Oster (who faces one of his former sides) and Brian Stock will both hope to keep their places in Doncaster’s starting line-up.

Scunthorpe United v Leeds United
Leeds are only four points from the play-offs. Not a disaster. A few good wins and they’ll be right back up there again. As far as the good wins are concerned, Scunthorpe might be a good place to start. They’ve only won once at home. And Scunthorpe haven’t beaten Leeds for 48 years.
Sanchez Watt is expected to miss out again for Leeds due to his knee injury. The Yorkshire Post seems to think Jason Brown will start. I’d love it if they were right but he didn’t play in the last match.

Sheffield United v Coventry City
Coventry are in the top six but they haven’t won back-to-back games this season. As they won their last game, maybe Sheffield United will get the three points Gary Speed really needs.
Sheffield United’s Ched Evans could return from his recurring groin injury
Coventry striker Freddy Eastwood is back in training but he won’t be able to play.
