Tuesday 1st October Fixtures

[LancashireTrotters]

Full set of fixtures - remains to be seen whether that’ll actually be the case with the weather.

3rd long trip in 6 days for Bolton, Northampton this time.

3 points would be massive.

Can't imagine many Lincoln are off on what will be a near 8 hour round trip to Blackpool on a Tuesday night!

We're without Jeacock (second 'keeper, concussed in a car accident), House with a broken nose from Saturday and out for 2-6 weeks, Duffy and the other long term three.

Big blow to lose House, he's excellent at leading the line and has been in good form so far this season. This time last year with House and Walker out we only had Makama to play up front but this year we've have Makama, Draper, Street and Cadamarteri so although none of them can fill the House role, at least we have some options.

Be a tough ask to keep the unbeaten away run going at an in-form side but with Orient on Saturday, then away at Wrexham and home to Birmingham, we could do with picking up points in the next two.

Crawley away on a Tuesday night with loads of weather warnings about, think I’ll watch it at home with a cuppa.

Cambridge away should be a weekend fixture. I love spending time in Cambridge.
We can't win away as its seems to be against the law, but a draw is not the end of the world as things stand.

If you can't break your duck against us, you may as well just jack it all in.

Should be looking to get something from Crawley really, a defeat would be a disappointment for me.

3 wins on the bounce has been a real bumper bonus for us given avoiding relegation is the aim, added that we’ve still injuries to key players and not played particularly well it’s a real bonus. Would expect a few changes, especially expect lewis to start in midfield, possibly in place of Quinn, though i’d expect more than that one change given that’s not necessary a straight swap.

Crawley did beat us 4-1 last time round in one of the remarkable results of the league 2 season, especially as we couldve scored 6/7 ourselves, but you get these fluke one-off results.

Likewise though, crawley will be eyeing mansfield up as a way to get back on the points board after some disappointing recent results, i’d be happy with a point.

6th (BFC) vs 4th (us) in the form table (over the last 6 games), might be a decent game.

We have a generally poor record v Barnsley though.

I don’t especially rate Darrell Clarke as a manager (though I know some rave about him) but he has a decent squad to work with, so I’m expecting a tough game.

I’m going for a narrow defeat here, give us a short kick up the arse and then hopefully go on another mini-run.

Bolton fans will probably get to Northampton quicker than Charlton fans will get to the Mem

Sold 500 already for Orient, I'll be on a rare midweek venture up there.
Sounding like we will be without Aitchison so hope Cole is back.
Always a good game with them, hoping to keep our good form going.

Orient (a) - looking forward to it. My first away of the season due to a newborn making his appearance late July, so been settling into routines etc.

Would take a point, but always hopeful for 3. Magennis to open his account
