League One Fixtures 11th December 2010 (Part 1)

Bournemouth v Hartlepool United
Bournemouth will go second if they win and Charlton lose and Sheffield Wednesday don’t win by four goals more than Bournemouth. If Hartlepool win, they might go into the top half of the table.
Bournemouth have only lost one home league match this season and failed to win just two.
Rhoys Wiggins says Bournemouth can continue to prove their doubters wrong. Rhoys will make his 50th league start for Bournemouth in this match.

Carlisle United v Dagenham & Redbridge
Dag & Red are improving but they’re six points from safety so they ideally need to improve a little bit more. They’ve only won one away game this season (and drawn just two) but that’s only one fewer than Carlisle.
Carlisle don’t seem to want Jason Price back from Bradford City.
I haven’t heard anything about Tony Roberts but BBC Sport suggests he won’t play in goal. Well, he’s not likely to play anywhere else. Kayleden Brown could start after extending his loan spell until next year.

Colchester United v Yeovil Town
A win could take Colchester to joint second but they’re not expecting this match against the second-bottom team to be easy. I thought teams with a record of 4 4 2 either home or away was probably not that common but Colchester are another. Yeovil have lost seven of their ten away games this season.
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James will probably be on the bench for Colchester.
Yeovil have not only lost Owain Tudur Jones, Gavin Williams has gone too. Shaun MacDonald is their only remaining loan Welshman but he’s still got Nathan Jones to keep him company. Gavin believes Yeovil will survive relegation this season.

Notts County v Milton Keynes Dons
Notts County’s new manager faces one of his old clubs as the home side attempt to haul themselves out of the bottom three. A win for MK Dons could put them outside the play-offs on goal difference. Or even in the play-offs – Oldham Athletic aren’t playing so a 10-0 win from MK Dons will do it, as long as Yeovil can beat Colchester United.
Ben Davies should start for Notts County.
