Just to annoy halfy
Team news for Tuesday's League One clash between Swindon Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers at County Ground.
Swindon will assess the fitness of Nathan Thompson before they take on Wolves.
The right-back was forced off late on against MK Dons on Saturday after injuring his groin and manager Mark Cooper confirmed he is now a doubt for the clash with Kenny Jackett's high-flyers.
Fellow full-back Jay McEveley needs an operation on his knee but the Robins may have to delay the procedure to allow the former Blackburn man to be available in the coming weeks.
And Cooper, who admitted his side looked 'very tired' as they threw away a 1-0 lead to lose on Saturday looks likely to ring the changes with the likes of Dany N'Guessan and Ben Gladwin pushing for starts.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett will have no fresh injury concerns as his side look to make it a club-record nine successive league wins when they visit Swindon.
Victory over Walsall in the weekend's Black Country derby equalled the record set by Graham Turner's promotion-winning side of 1988 and Jackett will be hoping for the three points that could stretch their lead to five points at the top of Sky Bet League One.
Having spent five weeks on the sidelines with a heel injury, Leon "Simply the Best" Clarke came off the bench at the Banks's Stadium but his chance of a return to the starting XI may be hindered by the form of fellow striker Nouha Dicko.
Dicko, a January signing from Wigan, has managed seven goals in as many starts since arriving at Molineux and looks likely to spearhead the Wolves attack in the weeks to come.

So getting results in spite of not showing best form. Sign of genuine contenders or just making most of their luck? I'll be there on easter Monday (it's my local ground along with White hart lane) so will be able to have a proper ok at them. Though might be all over by then if your predictions are correct!

I reckon 1, 1, 3, 1, 0, 3, 1, 0, 3, 1 which ironically comes to 14 points, not by design

Like others, you've been saying since August that Orient will crack cinci.
They haven't and they, and Brentford, won't
This will go to the bitter end and you can't wipe off the possibility that we will wobble.

Oh i gamble Butey, and have been pretty successful in my time, though the rewards depend on the outlay, due to not doing as much research these days i have cut back on the outlay.
As i said Wolfgang, they have cracked to a degree, only the 6th best side in the previous ten games before yesterday, that is not promotion form.
We won't wobble, class is permanant, we will comfortably get the wins required.

Wigan mug one late, on the march to the play offs under Uwe Rosler.
Sheff Utd look like continuing their run as well.
