Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 Peterborough United
Brighton won for the fourth successive match which probably wasn’t what Darren Ferguson was hoping for when he returned to manager Peterborough. An away win over Brighton would have been quite an achievement. No team has managed it in the league this season.
Arron Davies wasn’t in Peterborough’s squad.
Carlisle United 4-0 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers’ long run without a win continued as Carlisle’s own winless run was ended in em[hatic style.
Jason Price wasn’t in Carlisle’s squad due to an Achilles injury.
Ben Swallow started for Bristol Rovers but Byron Anthony was still recovering from food poisoning and didn’t start. He was the player who replaced Ben. Eliot Richards was an unused substitute.
Hartlepool United 0-1 Dagenham & Redbridge
Dagenham & Redbridge got their third away win of the season while Hartlepool lost for the third consecutive match.
Tony Roberts kept a clean sheet for Dag & Red.
Milton Keynes Dons 2-0 Tranmere Rovers
MK Dons moved into the play-off places with victory over Tranmere, who are only out of the bottom four on goal difference.
Ash Taylor kept his place in Tranmere’s starting line-up.
Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Oldham Athletic
Oldham are now only a point behind the play-offs after this result.but Plymouth were starting to look over their shoulders again.
Carl Fletcher played the full match for Plymouth.
Rochdale 1-1 Leyton Orient
This game went ahead despite adverse weather conditions and arguably shouldn’t have happened at all. Rochdale scored first and it was the Rochdale manager who seemed to feel strongly that this match should have been abandoned. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
Nicky Adams started for Rochdale and really got Leyton Orient worried but he was replaced by Matt Done after suffering an ankle injury.
Southampton 0-0 Notts County
Notts County brought to an end a run of five consecutive wins for Southampton – including a 6-0 thrashing of Oldham Athletic and an FA Cup victory over Premier League Blackpool.
Ryan Doble was on the bench for Southampton.
Ben Davies played the full match for Notts County.
Swindon Town 0-1 Yeovil Town
Yeovil keep their survival hopes alive with an excellent away win over Swindon Town. Yeovil remain in the bottom three only on goal difference while Swindon are just two points ahead.
Nathan Jones was on the bench for Yeovil.
Walsall 2-4 Huddersfield Town
Walsall matched Huddersfield for much of the game but unfortunately football matches last longer than 76 minutes and Huddersfield scored two late goals. If Walsall had managed to hang on (without scoring a winner), it would have been their first home draw of the season.
Sean Geddes was on the bench for Walsall.

League One Fixtures 15th January 2011 (Part 1)
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.

League One Results 8th January 2011
Bournemouth 3-0 Plymouth Argyle
Bournemouth moved up to second in the table as they beat Plymouth, who were unbeaten in five before Bournemouth came along and spoiled it.
Rhoys Wiggins was absent from Bournemouth’s squad due to an eye infection but they just about managed without him. Joe Partington was on the bench.
Carl Fletcher played the full match for Plymouth against his first ever club.
Dagenham & Redbridge 0-1 Rochdale
Dagenham & Redbridge are eight points from safety after losing to a Rochdale side who move into the top half of the table.
Tony Roberts nearly scored for Dag & Red when he joined his team-mates at the wrong end of the pitch for a corner but he headed wide.
Nicky Adams celebrated his permanent signing for Rochdale with the assist but Tony wouldn’t let him score.
Exeter City 1-1 Milton Keynes Dons
Exeter didn’t play well despite taking an early lead and MK Dons were able to snatch a share of the points in the 73rd minute.
Richard Duffy had a good first half but then he had to be replaced at half-time due to injury. Rob Edwards and Daniel Nardiello were unused substitutes.
Tranmere Rovers 3-3 Walsall
Walsall looked set to lose for the fifteenth time this season. With five minutes plus stoppage time to play, they were 3-1 down but they got one goal in the 85th minute followed by an equaliser in the fourth minute of stoppage time. A point doesn’t help their survival chances much but maybe it will give them some extra confidence.
Tranmere’s Ash Taylor played 90 minutes for the first time in the league this season
Sean Geddes was on the bench for Walsall.
Yeovil 2-0 Brentford
Yeovil are unbeaten in four after beating Brentford and just three points from safety.
Yeovil played without a single Welshmen on the pitch at any time for what I believe is the first time this season. Luckily for them, it didn’t seem to be too much of a problem for them.
Rhys Baggridge and Nathan Jones were on the bench. Nathan says Yeovil won’t be rushing into making new signings.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.
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.

League One Results 20th November 2010 (Part 1)
Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Bristol Rovers
Brighton are just four points clear at the top of the table after Bristol Rovers grabbed a stoppage time draw. But Brighton’s unbeaten home record remains intact.
Byron Anthony had a mixed game, scoring the goal to put Bristol Rovers 1-0 up before conceding the penalty to put Brighton ahead. If you must do both, Byron, it’s so much better to do them the other way around. Byron also picked up his fifth yellow card of the season. At least five Welsh players have ‘achieved’ that this season.
Ben Swallow started for Bristol Rovers for the first time this season. Eliot Richards was on the bench.
Charlton Athletic 3-2 Yeovil Town
Yeovil gave Charlton a tougher time of it than Peterborough did in the last match but the result was just the same in terms of three points going to Charlton.
Gavin Williams and Shaun MacDonald both played the full match for Yeovil but Gavin picked up his fifth yellow card. Nathan Jones and Owain Tudur Jones dropped to the bench.
Colchester United 3-2 Hartlepool United
Hartlepool thought they’d snatched a point in the 88th minute but Colchester won in injury time with a dramatic and controversial penalty.
Lee Beevers came off the bench after 79 minutes. Lloyd James didn’t come off the bench at all.
Dagenham & Redbridge 0-1 Oldham Athletic
Dagenham remain in 22nd place on goal difference despite losing to Oldham.
New loan signing Kayelden Brown made his first start for the Daggers but Tony Roberts was only on the bench, presumably due to his back injury.
Joe Jacobson was an unused substitute for Oldham but all Oldham’s substitutes were unused in this match.

League One Fixtures/News 20th November 2010 (Part 1)
Brighton & Hove Albion v Bristol Rovers
Brighton are unbeaten at home but you should never write off Bristol Rovers. They lose to the most embarrassing teams – but they also beat some pretty good ones.
Byron Anthony is expected to play at right back for Bristol Rovers. Ben Swallow is expected to be given his first start of the season. Eliot Richards will probably be on the bench.
Charlton Athletic v Yeovil Town
Yeovil have found wins hard to come by this season and now they face Charlton, a team that has just put five past the formerly high-flying Peterborough United.
Gavin Williams has fully recovered from an ankle injury and could start alongside Owain Tudur Jones and Shaun MacDonald. Nathan Jones might also start for Yeovil again.
Colchester United v Hartlepool United
Both teams had a disappointing end to last season, with Colchester missing out on the play-offs despite being there for most of the season, while Hartlepool were deducted three points and came very close to relegation. Things are looking similar this season. Colchester are in the play-offs but currently only on goal difference while Hartlepool really don’t want to lose another three points. Although I doubt they’d enjoy three points in any circumstances.
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James are most likely to be on the bench for Colchester.
Dagenham & Redbridge v Oldham Athletic
Dag & Red are in the bottom four but they’ve only lost once at home this season. Quite a lot better than Oldham’s away record.
Tony Roberts returns for Dag & Red after missing four matches with an ankle injury. Kayelden Brown is at Dag & Red on loan but he’s only been on the bench so far.
Joe Jacobson could be on the bench for Oldham.
Brighton are unbeaten at home but you should never write off Bristol Rovers. They lose to the most embarrassing teams – but they also beat some pretty good ones.

Tony Roberts returns for Dag & Red after missing four matches with an ankle injury. Kayelden Brown is at Dag & Red on loan but he’s only been on the bench so far.
Joe Jacobson could be on the bench for Oldham.

League One Results 13th November 2010 (Part 2)
Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Rochdale
Sheffield Wednesday’s victory over Rochdale was their third win in three matches.
Rochdale’s Welsh substitutions mirrored Cardiff’s Welsh substitutions even down to the time of substitution. After 71 minutes, Nicky Adams came off and Matt Done went on but Matt was not replacing Nicky.
Swindon Town 2-1 Colchester United
Swindon moved closer to the top half of the table after beating Colchester, who lost an away match for the first time this season.
No Welshmen in this game. Billy Bodin (Swindon) and Lee Beevers and Lloyd James (both Colchester) were all unusued substitutes.
Tranmere Rovers 1-0 Plymouth Argyle
Tranmere moved out of the relegation places with victory over Plymouth, who are ahead of them only on goal difference.
Tranmere are still without ankle injury victim Ash Taylor but he is back in training.
Carl Fletcher (Plymouth) is likely to be able to out with a leg injury for at least another fortnight.
Yeovil Town 1-3 Dagenham & Redbridge
Dag & Red moved ahead of Yeovil on goal difference after beating them 3-1, their first away win of the season.
Nathan Jones started for Yeovil. The assistant manager says he is proud to have more appearances with Yeovil than with any other club in his career.
Owain Tudur Jones played despite a recent thigh strain and got the assist but that probably wasn’t much of a consolation. Shaun MacDonald also started for Yeovil and came close to scoring. Gavin Williams was a late substitute.
Goalkeeper Tony Roberts was absent from Dag & Red’s squad due to an ankle injury. So they did especially well to win. But Dag & Red did have one Welsh player on the bench: Kayelden Brown, who has signed on loan from West Bromwich Albion. He has previously played on loan at Tranmere Rovers this season.

FA Cup Results 6th November 2010 (Part 2)
Colchester United 4-3 Bradford City
Bradford have been on a great run after a poor start to the season and they came very close to giving League One promotion hopefuls Colchester a bit of a shock.
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James were unused substitutes for Colchester.
Bradford are so good, Jason Price just can’t get a start. He was a 58th-minute substitute.
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Leyton Orient
These East London teams are now set to meet four times this season after their FA Cup tie went to a replay.
Dag & Red keeper Tony Roberts, who is possibly still slightly troubled with his ankle injury, was on the bench.
Darlington 2-1 Bristol Rovers
It hasn’t been a good year for Bristol Rovers in the Cups. The League One side was thrashed 6-1 by League Two team Oxford United in the Carling Cup and now they have lost to Darlington, who haven’t exactly been lighting up the Blue Square Premier.
Byron Anthony played in defence for Bristol Rovers while Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards both made substitute appearances.
Dartford 1-1 Port Vale
Blue Square South strugglers Dartford managed to force a replay against Port Vale, who aren’t exactly struggling in League Two.
Lewis Haldane made his long-awaited return to League Two football when he came off Port Vale’s bench after half-time. Gareth Owen also played for Port Vale.
Fleetwood Town 1-1 Walsall
Walsall haven’t had a great season but perhaps it’s just got even worse after the League One side failed to knock the Conference North side out of the FA Cup. They will get another chance though.
Sean Geddes wasn’t in Walsall’s squad for the sixth consecutive game.
Forest Green Rovers 0-3 Northampton Town
Northampton are pretty good at these Cups. They found Forest Green even less trouble than Liverpool.
Mike Fowler played 85 minutes for Forest Green. Curtis McDonald was on the bench.
Paul Walker was on the bench for Northampton.

FA Cup Fixtures 6th November 2010 (Part 2)
Cambridge United v Huddersfield Town
David Partridge is likely to play for Cambridge after recovering from an ankle injury.
Cheltenham Town v Morecambe
Josh Low should play for Cheltenham.
Colchester City v Bradford City
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James probably have a chance of starting against League Two Bradford. Maybe we’ll be really lucky and Tom Bender will be in the squad too.
Carlisle United have given Jason Price permission to play for Bradford in the FA Cup. Bradford won’t have Michael Flynn due to a groin injury.
Dagenham & Redbridge v Leyton Orient
Dagenham will be without goalkeeper Tony Roberts, who has an ankle injury.
Darlington v Bristol Rovers
Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards will hope for a chance against non-league Darlington. Byron Anthony could also play but if Bristol Rovers are resting players, he could be one of them.
Dartford v Port Vale
Lewis Haldane is expected to return to the squad after recovering from an infected insect bite although he is unlikely to play. He has been out for three months and it will be great to see him back. Gareth Owen might play or might be rested.
Fleetwood Town v Walsall
Sean Geddes might return to Walsall’s squad. He hasn’t been in it for the last few weeks but Walsall might give different players a chance against Fleetwood.

League One Results 2nd November 2010 (Part 2)
Plymouth Argyle 3-1 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers lost the match but the manager felt they played well enough to win. He believes if they keep playing like that, they will win matches.
It was thought that Carl Fletcher would return for an ankle injury due to necessity rather than because he’d actually recovered or anything like that but luckily the other injured players recovered just in time and Carl didn’t even have to sit on the bench.
Byron Anthony played the full match for Bristol Rovers while Ben Swallow made only his second substitute appearance of the season. Eliot Richards stayed on the bench.
Southampton 4-0 Dagenham & Redbridge
Dag & Red’s evening got off to a bad start when goalkeeper Tony Roberts was forced to withdraw due to injury . The rapidly-improving Southampton took full advantage, putting four past his replacement and moving into the play-off places. Dagenham are second-bottom and without an away win this season.
Walsall 1-3 Peterborough United
Even after this win, Peterborough are as close to the relegation zone as they are to runaway league leaders Brighton.
Lewin Nyatanga made his debut for Peterborough after signing on loan for Bristol City. But it was Arron Davies who made the biggest impact, getting the assist for Peterborough’s first goal before scoring the second. He might have got the assist for the third too – it was certainly his corner that started things off.

League One Results 30th October 2010 (Part 1)
Bournemouth 1-2 Colchester United
Bournemouth were unbeaten at home before this match while Colchester were unbeaten away and it was Colchester – who only recemtly lost their unbeaten home record – who came out on top.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe’s comments suggested he thought Bournemouth had got a point. It would be lovely if he was right but he’s really kind of not. The FA change the rules every year but if they’d changed that one, I’m sure I’d know about it.
Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth
Lee Beevers and Lloyd James were both on the bench for Colchester, with Lee making another late appearance as a substitute.
Bristol Rovers 1-1 Carlisle United
When Bristol Rovers defender Danny Coles handled the ball in the penalty area stoppage time, Carlisle thought they’d snatched a win. Luckily for Bristol Rovers, their goalkeeper saved the penalty and the points were shared.
Byron Anthony played the full match for Bristol Rovers with Eliot Richards and Ben Swallow on the bench.
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Hartlepool United
If Dag & Red want to stay in League One, they really ought to be beating their relegation rivals at home. And they could so easily have won this one without a stoppage-time own goal. It was a day for own goals – Dag & Red’s 49th-minute opener was scored by a Hartlepool player.
Tony Roberts was in goal for Dag & Red.
Exeter City 2-4 Brentford
Exeter’s unbeaten home record came to an end when struggling Brentford (who are even now only two points above the relegation zone) managed an excellent win. It could have been even worse for Exeter – their goalkeeper Paul Jones (not to be confused with former Welsh international keeper Paul Jones) saved two penalties.
Richard Duffy played the full match with Rob Edwards on the bench. Daniel Nardiello’s hamstring didn’t allow him to take part.
Leyton Orient 2-1 Rochdale
Even after this win, Leyton Orient are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference but at least they’re out of it. Rochdale lost their third consecutive away game although they had their chances to grab a point.
Nicky Adams nearly opened the scoring for Rochdale but unfortunately his effort was saved. Nicky conceded the penalty, wrongly in the opinion of Rochdale manager Keith Hill. Matt Done came off the bench after 71 minutes.

League One Fixtures 2nd November 2010 (Part 2)
Plymouth Argyle v Bristol Rovers
Plymouth are only in the bottom four on goal difference but Bristol Rovers never do what you expect so Plymouth will fancy their chances. I won’t say how many of their last five matches Plymouth have won. There’s a Plymouth fan who reads my blog and I don’t want to put him off coming back.
Carl Fletcher could return to Plymouth’s starting line-up for this match. Not that he’s fit or anything, his ankle is still dodgy but Plymouth are desperate. Not as desperate as MK Dons but they are a bit short of players.
Byron Anthony will start for Bristol Rovers. Ben Swallow could get his first start of the season after playing well for the reserves. Eliot Richards will probably be on the bench.
Rochdale v Oldham Athletic
Rochdale and Oldham have identical away records. I’ve got a feeling this will no longer be the case after this match. Rochdale are three points from the play-offs… and three points from the relegation zone. That could change too.
Nicky Adams will hope to keep his place in Rochdale’s starting line-up. Matt Done hasn’t been in the starting line-up since Nicky arrived.
Joe Jacobson could be on the bench again for Oldham.
Southampton v Dagenham & Redbridge
Dag & Red will be wishing they’d played Southampton earlier on in the season when they weren’t as good. This probably isn’t the easiest place for them to pick up their first away win.
Tony Roberts will be in goal for Dag & Red.
Walsall v Peterborough United
Peterborough are fifth in the table but that isn’t so much because of their away form. Even if Walsall win, they’ll still be in the relegation zone at the end of today.
New loan signing Lewin Nyatanga is expected to start for Peterborough. Arron Davies was dropped to the bench for Peterborough’s last match but they lost 3-0 so maybe they’ll let him back in.

Ryan Green, Tony James and Ryan Valentine played in defence for Hereford. Stuart Fleetwood came off the bench after 72 minutes. Last time Stuart came on as a substitute, he’d scored two goals by the 70th minute and Hereford came back to win. He came on a bit too late this time.
Lincoln City 0-0 Stockport County
Anthony Pulis played the full match for loan side Stockport County – against last season’s loan side Lincoln City. Owain fon Williams was on the bench.

Jermaine Easter was on the bench but he got to make an appearance after 72 minutes.

Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Huddersfield Town
Plymouth were without their captain Carl Fletcher, who has a dead leg.
Rochdale 3-2 Dagenham & Redbridge
Nicky Adams got the assist for Rochdale’s second goal – he’s now played twice for Rochdale and got two assists. It looks like he’s settling in well. Matt Done was on the bench.

Bournemouth 3-2 Milton Keynes Dons
The Football League’s two youngest managers met in what would be described as a promotion battle if the season were just a little bit older. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe came out on top. Bournemouth continue their unbeaten home record.
Rhoys Wiggins was on the receiving end of the red-carded Angelo Balanta.s temper and MK Dons manager Karl Robinson believes Rhoys should have been off too. I think he kind of maybe had a point as Rhoys did raise his hand which could be construed as an attempt to strike his opponent – but it looked more like an ‘oh go away you silly boy’ gesture than an attempt to hit him and at least Rhoys didn’t push anyone. And there is something to be said for not sending them both to the dressing room together.
Joe Partington stayed out of trouble on the bench.
Jermaine Easter started for MK Dons but that elusive league goal just wouldn’t come.
Bristol Rovers 2-1 Rochdale
Bristol Rovers beating Rochdale might not sound like much but when you remember they’re at opposite ends of the same division, with Bristol Rovers the lower of the two, then it becomes a much better result.
Byron Anthony and Nicky Adams proved to be a good team, with Nicky’s pass headed into the net by Byron. What a shame they weren’t actually on the same side. But other than that moment it was a great performance from both players, with Byron the stand-out player for Bristol Rovers (and mostly for good reasons) and Nicky making an immediate impression on his second debut for Rochdale..
Matt Done was a late substitute for Rochdale although he still had time to hit the post but Bristol Rovers’ subs Ben Swallow and Eliot Richards stayed on the bench.
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Walsall
Dagenham & Redbridge were the stronger side in the second half and looked the more likely to snatch all three points. But they didn’t so both teams were in the relegation zone when the matches drew to a close.
Tony Roberts played in goal for Dagenham & Redbridge.
Sean Geddes was missing from Walsall’s squad for the second consecutive match. I hope he hasn’t gone on loan somewhere without telling me.

League One Fixtures 16th October 2010 Part 1
Bournemouth v Milton Keynes Dons
MK Dons aim to improve on their one away league win when they face a club that have won five of their home games – and drawn the other one.
Rhoys Wiggins should start for Bournemouth. Joe Partington might be on the bench again.
Jermaine Easter will hope to have another 90 minutes in which to attempt to find his first league goal of the season.
Bristol Rovers v Rochdale
A win for Rochdale could in theory put them into the top two. It’s not likely and it’s probably impossible but what a position for Rochdale to be in. Bristol Rovers have struggled for consistency… or so it’s seemed. But a look at the league table shows they have got two home wins, two home defeats, two away wins, two away draws and two away defeats. They have just the one home draw so maybe they’ll balance things out against Rochdale.
Byron Anthony should start for Bristol Rovers with Eliot Richards and Ben Swallow on the bench.
It’s hard to know where Matt Done will be but he’ll be in the squad – and so will Nicky Adams. He’s on loan from Brentford but I’m sure Nicky doesn’t mind being sent to a club which are seven points and fifteen places above his own.
Dagenham & Redbridge v Walsall
Dag & Red might be just one point off the bottom but their home form is looking pretty health. And guess where they’re playing today. At home, against fellow strugglers Walsall… who have only won one game away. So Walsall are probably going to win, aren’t they?
Tony Roberts will be in goal for Dag & Red.
Sean Geddes has missed a few games recently for Walsall but he’s on the bench more often than not.

League One Results 9th October 2010 Part 1
Brentford 1-3 Oldham Athletic
Brentford took an early lead in this match and if Brentford’s other two goals hadn’t been disallowed, they should have got something from this game. But they didn’t and they remain bottom while Oldham are just two points away from the promotion places.
Nicky Adams was on the bench for Brentford.
Joe Jacobson wasn’t in Oldham’s squad.
Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Bournemouth
Brighton remain top of League One and retained their unbeaten home record. Brighton looked set to take the points but Bournemouth snatched a very late equaliser from a decidedly dubious penalty.
New Wales call-up Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth. Joe Partington was on the bench for the first time in nearly a month.
Carlisle United 1-0 Notts County
Notts County could have won this if they’d taken their chances but they didn’t and a single goal was enough to take Carlisle into second place.
Jason Price had to stay on the bench again for Carlisle
Ben Davies had a rest from all the goals and assists.
Colchester United 0-3 Huddersfield Town
Colchester’s unbeaten run came to an end as Huddersfield got their first league win since mid-September.
Lloyd James was on the bench for Colchester. Lee Beevers remains absent with a hand injury.
Hartlepool United 2-0 Peterborough United
A surprise win for Hartlepool over high-flying Peterborough took them up to 15th in the table.
Arron Davies played 88 minutes for Peterborough.
Milton Keynes 2-0 Dagenham & Redbridge
MK Dons kept their unbeaten home record intact while Dag & Red continued their winless away run.
Neither Welshmen had a particularly good day with Tony Roberts conceded a penalty. Luckily or unluckily, depending on how you look at it, Jermaine Easter hit the post.
Plymouth Argyle 2-2 Charlton Athletic
Plymouth remain without a home win this season after Charlton got a 90th-minute equaliser.
Carl Fletcher suffered a slight knee injury in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy win over Cheltenham Town but he was able to play the full match for Plymouth.
Brentford took an early lead in this match and if Brentford’s other two goals hadn’t been disallowed, they should have got something from this game. But they didn’t and they remain bottom while Oldham are just two points away from the promotion places.
Nicky Adams was on the bench for Brentford.
Joe Jacobson wasn’t in Oldham’s squad.
Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Bournemouth
Brighton remain top of League One and retained their unbeaten home record. Brighton looked set to take the points but Bournemouth snatched a very late equaliser from a decidedly dubious penalty.
New Wales call-up Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth. Joe Partington was on the bench for the first time in nearly a month.
Carlisle United 1-0 Notts County
Notts County could have won this if they’d taken their chances but they didn’t and a single goal was enough to take Carlisle into second place.
Jason Price had to stay on the bench again for Carlisle
Ben Davies had a rest from all the goals and assists.
Colchester United 0-3 Huddersfield Town
Colchester’s unbeaten run came to an end as Huddersfield got their first league win since mid-September.

League One Results 2nd October 2010 Part 1
Brentford 2-1 Charlton Athletic
Brentford were 2-0 up after 31 minutes but although Charlton got one back in the second half, Brentford hung on to take the points and move off the bottom of the table.
Nicky Adams was an unused substitute for Brentford.
Carlisle United 0-1 Peterborough United
Peterborough continue their excellent start to the season against Carlisle.
Jason Price made another substitute appearance for Carlisle.
Arron Davies was back in the starting line-up for Peterborough for the first time since recovering from a hamstring injury.
Dagenham & Redbridge 2-1 Swindon Town
Dagenham claimed their second win of the season against last year’s play-off finalists Swindon.
Tony Roberts played well for Dag & Red in goal.
Billy Bodin made what I belive was his Swindon debut after 80 minutes.
Exeter City 1-0 Rochdale
It’s maybe not a complete surprise to see Exeter beating Rochdale this season. I had a feeling that woud happen long before last season came to an end. I just wasn’t at all sure it would happen in this division. Even when Rochdale went clear at the top, Exeter still looked like possibilities for relegation.
Richard Duffy was back in Exeter’s starting line-up and this time he wasn’t substituted embarrassingly early. I bet he didn’t relaz until the 50th minute. Daniel Nardiello has been allowed to take his time over returning from injury and he sat on the bench with Rob Edwards.
Huddersfield Town 0-1 Bristol Rovers
Bristol Rovers bounced back from defeat to Tranmere and beat one of the promotion hopefuls (or maybe ‘former promotion hopefuls’ is the word (or rather the words) as they’ve now lost three in a row.
Byron Anthony did well to stop Huddersfield from equalising. Ben Swallow was back on the bench alongside Eliot Richards.
Brentford were 2-0 up after 31 minutes but although Charlton got one back in the second half, Brentford hung on to take the points and move off the bottom of the table.
