Breaking: Team news for Leeds United, Huddersfield Town, Bradford City, Rotherham United and York City
Published Date:
10 October 2008
WITH the top two divisions out of action due to the international break, the spotlight on Saturday falls on Leagues One and Two.
Yorkshire has four clubs involved with Leeds United at home to Brighton and Huddersfield away at Swindon in League One.
Bradford City travel to Accrington Stanley and Rotherham United face the long trip south to take on Bournemouth.
In the Conference, York City travel to Woking.
All matches 3.00pm kick-off.
League One
Leeds United v Brighton
Alan Sheehan suffered a recurrance of a hamstring injury in the defeat at Rotherham on Tuesday night and is out.
Otherwise Gary McAllister has a fit squad to choose from but expect changes to the side that crashed out of the JP Trophy with leading goalscorer Jermaine Beckford and Luciano Becchio both set to be restored to the starting line-up.
Andy Robinson: "It is good that the next game comes around quickly. I know we said that with Rotherham after what happened at Peterborough and then we never lived up to our expectations.
"But that is behind us now and we have to move forward in what is now a must win game."
Swindon Town v Huddersfield Town
Winger Gary Roberts has been cleared to play for Huddersfield in the trip to Swindon after the Football Association rescinded his red card in the midweek Johnstone Paint Trophy defeat at Darlington.
Ian Craney is again ruled out with a hamstring strain and Andy Booth is struggling with a back problem. On loan striker Liam Dickinson (hamstring) will have a late fitness test.
Stan Ternent: "People say you make your own luck, and maybe that's true, but I have to say that I don't think the lads have had many breaks this season."
League Two
Accrington Stanley v Bradford City
Omar Daley is on international duty, paving the way for Kyle Nix to make only his second start of the season.
City are without the injured Mark Bower and suspended Paul Heckingbottom, but Paul Arnison and TJ Moncur are both available and could feature after recovering from injury.
Stuart McCall: "It was a great feeling to look around the ground that day (last season) and see three-quarters of the ground full of City fans. A repeat of that would be a huge boost for the players."
Bournemouth v Rotherham United
Rotherham United will have striker Richie Barker available again for the trip to Bournemouth after he was ineligible for the midweek victory over Leeds United in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Midfielder Danny Harrison is also back in the Millers squad after missing the last two games with a hamstring problem but Mark Lynch (shoulder) and Stephen Brogan (broken leg) remain on the sidelines. Brogan is now back in light training.
Mark Robins: "We have had a feel-good factor at the club since pre-season. It's not just being back in positive points but it is the winning that breeds our confidence."
