League One Fixtures 16th October 2010 Part 3

Peterborough United v Swindon Town
Peterborough bring an almost perfect home record to this match against Swindon, who will be anxious to add to their solitary away win.
Arron Davies will probably start for Peterborough but he might be on the bench (just covering all possible angles here).
Billy Bodin could be on the bench for Swindon again.

Tranmere Rovers v Brentford
Brentford haven’t won away this season, partly because they’ve only scored one goal, which would tend to restrict you where winning is concerned. Tranmere will be hoping to double their current tally of home wins.
Ash Taylor isn’t ready to return from his knee injury for Tranmere.
Nicky Adams won’t be playing for Brentford as he has joined Rochdale on loan. No disrespect to Brentford but I think moving to Rochdale counts as moving up in the world these days.

Yeovil Town v Sheffield Wednesday
So how many divisions apart were these two teams fifteen years ago? I make it five. Yeovil had just been relegated from the Conference and would go on to finish fourth at the end of the season, six points away from promotion. Sheffield Wednesday would go on to survive relegation from the Premier League by just two points but even so, they were five whole leagues apart and probably never dreamed that, fifteen years later, the two of them would be in the same division, with Sheffield Wednesday just three points the better off.
Gavin Williams has been playing through an ongoing injury and it looks like he’ll have to carry on doing that. Shaun MacDonald returns to Yeovil days after making his debut for Wales but unlike a lot of Welsh players, he seems to be in good shape. Touch wood. Owain Tudur Jones completes the trio of Welsh loanee midfielders and I’d expect them all to start.
