Brighton & Hove Albion v Peterborough United
Brighton need to draw to be sure of keeping their place at the top of the League One table. Peterborough, meanwhile, need a point in order to remain in the play-off places but I doubt either team will want to settle for a draw. Manager Darren Ferguson is back at Peterborough United fourteen months after they sacked him. Don’t be surprised if a few young Manchester United players end up joining him.
Arron Davies faces a former club in rather unusual circumstances. At the beginning of the season, he was at Nottingham Forest and was loaned out to Brighton. When Forest released him in December, he decided to join former Yeovil Town but this was against the rules because he’d already played for two clubs. So Arron became a Brighton player again on non-contract terms and was loaned out to Yeovil. The expectation was that he’d sign permanently for Yeovil in the summer but he decided that the thing that made Yeovil so wonderful wasn’t the place, it was his old manager there. The manager was in question was Gary Johnson who was at Peterborough so Arron signed for Peterborough. Last week, Gary Johnson left the club by mutual consent. So who knows what will happen next?
Carlisle United v Bristol Rovers
Carlisle are only six points from the play-offs, which certainly isn’t insurmountable considering they have between one and three games in hand over most teams. But they’re just five points from the relegation places – it’s that close. If Bristol Rovers win, they will probably still be in the bottom four but only on goal difference. And if they win by three goals and Tranmere lose by three goals, they’ll be out of the relegation places altogether. Bristol Rovers just need to remember how to win, that’s all. Let’s hope they’ve got long memories. They haven’t won in the league since October. Carlisle however might have some sympathy – they haven’t won in any competition since November 30th.
Jason Price is back at Carlisle after choosing not to remain at Bradford City on loan. He believes he can help Carlisle get their season back on track. But only if he can get into the team. So maybe he’s better off going out on loan again.
Byron Anthony missed Bristol Rovers’ last match due to food poisoning and he’s probably not ready to go back into the starting line-up although he could be on the bench. Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards could also start.
Hartlepool United v Dagenham & Redbridge
Away at Hartlepool – it doesn’t exactly strike fear into your heart. But with Hartlepool just two points from the play-offs and Dag & Red botton of the league and eight points from safety, maybe they should be just a little bit scared.
Tony Roberts will play in goal for Dag & Red. Tomorrow, he'll be thinking of survival but he also has a quadruple on his hands.
Loanee Kayleden Brown has returned to West Bromwich Albion after his loan spell came to an end. He’s missed the last three matches due to injury.
Milton Keynes Dons v Tranmere Rovers
MK Dons are just a point outside the play-offs and their home record is very good. Tranmere might struggle to get the point they need to be absolutely sure they won’t be spending the week in the bottom four.
MK Dons have just sold Jermaine Easter to Crystal Palace so he won’t be playing for them again anytime soon.
Ash Taylor is expected to start for Tranmere.
Plymouth Argyle v Oldham Athletic
Plymouth are probably lower in the table than they’d like to be but they’re still closer to the play-offs than the relegation places – and just one point behind Oldham. Plymouth will be glad to be back at home after three successive away matches. Oldham will just be glad they don’t have to play Southampton again..
Carl Fletcher should play for Plymouth.

Welsh Players Christmas-New Year matches 2010-11 (League One, Part 1)
Bournemouth
Rhoys Wiggins might not necessarily be the first names on the team-sheet – I always tend to write the goalkeeper’s name first. But his isn’t a name you’re going to leave off the team-sheet.
MK Dons A 2-0 (played all)
Swindon A 1-2 (played all)
Brentford H 3-1 (played all)
Joe Partington returned from a loan spell at Eastbourne Borough, where he scored goals, got sent off and returned to his parent club with a knock. But he hasn’t been in Bournemouth’s squad since his return.
Brentford
Nicky Adams returned to Brentford when his loan spell came to an end but he only stayed long enough to sort out a permanent move to Rochdale.
Bristol Rovers
Byron Anthony’s Christmas wish was probably to score no own goals, and miss no penalties. And he didn’t do any of those things. But neither did he win a match.
MK Dons A 2-0 (Y foul 1, played all3)
Plymouth H 2-3 (played all)
Eliot Richards has spent most of the season on the bench but he played a part in Bristol Rovers’ defeat to Milton Keynes Dons before getting his second start of the season against Plymouth Argyle. Not to mention his first assist.
MK Dons A 2-0 (bench, on 46)
Plymouth H 2-3 (A1 11, played all)
Ben Swallow’s second goal for Bristol Rovers was rewarded with two starts over the Christmas period.
MK Dons A 2-0 (starts, off 46)

Charlton H 3-3 (played all)
Orient A 4-2 (Y 11, played all)

Orient A 4-2 (Y foul 55, played all)
Thomas Bender made his third appearance in a Colchester squad – his first and second in the league.

League One Results 11th December 2010 (Part 1)
Bournemouth 0-1 Hartlepool United
Bournemouth lost a second successive match whilst Hartlepool climbed into the top half of the table, somewhere they have no right to be. Whatever next, a pub team from Essex in League One… oh wait.
Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth.
Carlisle United 0-2 Dagenham & Redbridge
My favourite pub team from Essex (actually my favourite team of any kind in Essex) Dag & Red got an impressive away win at Carlisle United, who drop down to eleventh as a result but they’re still only two points from the play-offs.
Kayleden Brown got not one but two assists for Dagenham, both of them coming in the last eight minutes (or the last eleven minutes if you want to get technical). He arguably should have got a third ‘assist’ but the referee chose not to award a penalty after Kayleden was fouled. Tony Roberts was in athetic form in the Daggers’ goal.
Colchester United 0-0 Yeovil Town
Struggling Yeovil got an excellent away point at Colchester, who remain in the play-off places. Yeovil weren’t able to overtake Dagenham & Redbridge unfortunately as they won too but at least they got a bit further away from Walsall.
Lloyd James made a late substitute appearance for Colchester but Lee Beevers stayed on the bench.
Shaun MacDonald, Yeovil’s only remaining Welsh loanee midfielder, played the full match.
Notts County 2-0 Milton Keynes Dons
Notts County moved out of the play-off places as Paul Ince’s team beat his former club, the opening goal coming from Ince’s son Thomas.
Ben Davies could have scored for Notts County but the keeper saved it.

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.
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.

League One Results 4th September 2010 Part 2
Oldham Athletic 1-1 Bristol Rovers
Oldham were without their injured captain while two of their strikers were on international duty. I think if just one more had been called up, they’d have been able to postpone the match. Things were so desperate that manager Paul Dickov had to play. But Bristol Rovers were unable to take advantage.
Joe Jacobson vowed to get back into Oldham’s squad after failing to attract a buyer in the transfer window. Probably even he was a bit surprised by how quickly he managed to do this. He started on the bench before making a 75th-minute substitute appearance.
Byron Anthony played in defence for Bristol Rovers with Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards on the bench.
Southampton 0-2 Rochdale
Promoted Rochdale become the latest team to beat promotion favourite (or former promotion favourites?) Southampton. Managerless Southampton were no match for Rochdale, who are unbeaten away this season although they are yet to win at home.
Matt Done was on the bench for Rochdale.
Tranmere Rovers 1-0 Peterborough United
Tranmere got their first win of the season against Peterborough, who remain in the play-off places despite this result.
Kayleden Brown completed his loan spell at Tranmere with a 65th-minute substitute appearance.
Arron Davies started for Peterborough but left the field after just 25 minutes with a hamstring injury.
Walsall 0-1 Colchester United
Colchester’s late win move them up into the play-off places – where they spent quite a lot of last season before going on a bad run and missing out.
Sean Geddes was on the bench for Walsall.
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James were on the bench for Colchester.

Welsh Summer Transfers 2010 (Premier League,W)
West Bromwich Albion
West Brom paid £1.5 million to sign goalkeeper Boaz Myhill from financially-troubled Hull City on a three-year contract. For now he is the back-up goalkeeper but Bo has plans to change that.
Kayleden Brown was sent to Tranmere Rovers one a one-month loan deal.
Welsh Players: One - Boaz Myhill, plus Kayleden Browm (out on loan)
West Ham United
Danny Gabbidon was rumoured to have attracted the attention of Blackpool but they must have been wary of his injury problems as no move was made as far as I know.
West Ham wanted Joe Ledley just like pretty much every other club but he went to Celtic instead.
Welsh Players: Two - Danny Gabbidon, Jack Collison
Wigan Athletic
It was reported that Jason Koumas had been released by Wigan but that can’t be true as he has now joined Cardiff City on a season-long loan from Wigan.
Welsh Players: None, plus Jason Koumas (out on loan)
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wayne Hennessey attracted the attention of Liverpool and Burnley (one club apparently made a £2 million bid) and he was rumoured to be on his way to both but instead he signed a new five-year ontract with Wolves. They rewarded him by giving his No. 1 shirt to Marcus Hahnemann.
David Jones was coming to the end of a contract and he still hasn’t signed a new one but I think his current one has a while to run yet. Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United were all said to be interested in signing him.
Sam Vokes was linked with the exit door and with loan moves with Crystal Palace said to be interested. But Sam signed a new contract with Wolves and Mick McCarthy said he wasn’t going anywhere and there had been no interest in taking him on loan. Hours later, it was announced that Sam would play on loan at Bristol City until January 5th.
Jake Cassidy joined Wolves on a two-year deal this close season. He was at Llandudno Junction a short time ago, then he signed for Airbus UK but he left for Wolves without having played a competitive fixture.
And let’s not forget Joe Ledley – Wolves wanted him too. But he didn’t fancy England and went to Celtic instead.
Welsh Players: Two and three halves - Wayne Hennessey, Dave Edwards, Sam Vokes (out on loan), David Jones (wants to play for England), Jake Cassidy (unlikely to be considered for the first team

Carling Cup Results 24th August 2010 Part 5
Tranmere Rovers 1-3 Swansea City
Tranmere made a great start to the match, going 1-0 up after 22 minutes and hanging on well into the second half. It looked like the League One side might actually do it. But the equaliser finally arrived and Swansea took the lead in the very next minute. Then, just to make the score look more respectable, Swansea got a third.
Kayleden Brown wasn’t in the squad for this match. Maybe West Brom don’t want him cup-tied.
Joe Allen (who nearly marked his first start of the season with a goal) and joined Ashley Williams in the starting line-up for this match. There was also first Swansea starts for Casey Thomas and new signing Neil Taylor. David Cornell, Jazz Richards and Joe Walsh were among the unused substitutes.
Watford 1-2 Notts County
Notts County have been famous for their giant-killings recently. Wigan Athletic were their victims last year, this time another w-team, Watford, followed. Admittedly Wigan was funnier given they are in the Premier League and County were then in League Two but it stopped being so funny after Wigan beat Arsenal. Funny that.) Watford have made a good start in the Championship this season and dominated this match but Notts County were the team able to take their chances.
Ben Davies got his first Notts County goal of the season from a free kick just after half-time and they hung on for another twenty-one minutes before doubling their lead. Watford got a goal back not long after that but they were unable to add to their tally and League One Notts County advance to the next round.
Watford played a substitute goalkeeper in this match but it wasn’t Jonathan Bond. Not unless he’s changed his name by deed poll. And his squad number.

Carling Cup Fixtures 24th August 2010 Part 4
Sunderland v Colchester United
Sunderland are yet to win in the Premier League while Colchester are yet to lose. But this is still the Carling Cup.
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James have only made brief substitute appearances for Colchester this season but maybe they’ll get more of a chance tomorrow night. And maybe Tom Bender will get a place on the bench.
Tranmere Rovers v Swansea City
Swansea have never been beyond the fourth round in his competition. They were knocked out by Scunthorpe United last season but that’s probably not as funny as being knocked out by the great Havant & Waterlooville in the FA Cup.
Tranmere are of course without Ash Taylor (knee) but maybe loanee Kayleden Brown will get a start.
Swansea might rest a few players for this clash so maybe Ashley Williams and David Cotterill will be on the bench with David Cornell, Neil Taylor, Joe Allen and Jazz Richards given the chance to impress.

Welsh Player News 16th August 2010 (Leagues One and Two)
Tranmere Rovers have signed Kayleden Brown on loan from West Bromwich Albion. As he’s a striker he isn’t a replacement for injured defender/midfielder Ash Taylor but having a Welshman in the side can only help.
Tony James says he was disappointed to be left out of Burton Albion’s starting line-up for their opening match but he wasn’t going to sulk about it. Instead he waited for his chance to play and took it. His reward was a place in the starting line-up against Barnet.
Chestefield have appealed against the red card that saw Craig Davies sent off against Barnet but the appeal was not successful. I think I’m on Craig’s side but I am a little bit biased where he’s concerned.
Port Vale have signed Abdulai Bell-Baggie on loan. No, he’s not Welsh but here’s there to provide cover for Lewis Haldane, who is still working to build up his fitness and isn’t expected to be back until next month.

League One Results 14th August 2010 Part 2
Huddersfield Town 0-0 Tranmere Rovers
Tranmere didn’t think they could beat Huddersfield by playing football – so they tried to draw by stopping them from playing football. It was sneaky but it worked.
Tranmere have signed Kayleden Brown on loan from West Bromwich Albion. He made his debut after 74 minutes and helped reduce Huddersfield to ten men when he was on the receiving end of a poor tackle. I bet it hurt but it is kind of a compliment to be tackled. They wouldn’t bother if they didn’t think Kayleden was good.
Oldham Athletic 3-0 Notts County
This result left the two teams involved at opposite ends of the table. Oldham will be delighted with their six points from two games after a difficult 2010-11 season, which some thought would be repeated this time around. As for Notts County, their plan to get to the Premier League has probably gone off course a little bit.
Again Oldham didn’t take the oppotrtunity to put the transfer-listed Joe Jacobson in the shop window. Ben Davies played the first 71 minutes for Notts County and looked pretty lively, making good attempts on goal as well as setting up his team-mates. But County just couldn’t find a way though. True, Oldham’s goalkeeper did play very well but it must be a bit of a shock for the team who knocked Wigan Athletic out of the FA Cup last season.
Plymouth Argyle 1-1 Carlisle United
Carlisle were probably glad to get the longest away trip of the season out of the way but they must have wished the referee had blown the whistle just a little bit earlier. It wasn’t until the fourth minute of stoppage time that Plymouth found their equaliser – Carlisle must have thought the three points were all theirs. But Plymouth fought back and managed to get something for their troubles.
Carl Fletcher played well for Plymouth and came very close to scoring.
Carlisle left Jason Price out of the squad after the striker suffered a thigh injury in training.

Tranmere have signed Kayleden Brown on loan from West Bromwich Albion. He made his debut after 74 minutes and helped reduce Huddersfield to ten men when he was on the receiving end of a poor tackle. I bet it hurt but it is kind of a compliment to be tackled. They wouldn’t bother if they didn’t think Kayleden was good.
Oldham Athletic 3-0 Notts County
This result left the two teams involved at opposite ends of the table. Oldham will be delighted with their six points from two games after a difficult 2010-11 season, which some thought would be repeated this time around. As for Notts County, their plan to get to the Premier League has probably gone off course a little bit.
Again Oldham didn’t take the oppotrtunity to put the transfer-listed Joe Jacobson in the shop window. Ben Davies played the first 71 minutes for Notts County and looked pretty lively, making good attempts on goal as well as setting up his team-mates. But County just couldn’t find a way though. True, Oldham’s goalkeeper did play very well but it must be a bit of a shock for the team who knocked Wigan Athletic out of the FA Cup last season.
Plymouth Argyle 1-1 Carlisle United
Carlisle were probably glad to get the longest away trip of the season out of the way but they must have wished the referee had blown the whistle just a little bit earlier. It wasn’t until the fourth minute of stoppage time that Plymouth found their equaliser – Carlisle must have thought the three points were all theirs. But Plymouth fought back and managed to get something for their troubles.
Carl Fletcher played well for Plymouth and came very close to scoring.
