Tuesday 26th January 2016

Leyton Orient v Newport – Kick Off 3:00pm – Score Prediction (
2-0)
*Morecambe v Mansfield – Kick Off 3:00pm – Score Prediction (1-0)

The first game I've highlighted gives 4th placed Bristol Rovers, on 46 points, a chance to get into the automatic play off places, while their opponents, top of the table Plymouth, will be hoping to add to their 55 points.

My second game is at the other end of the table where 20th placed Newport, on 23 points, will be hoping to pull away from 22nd placed Dagenham & Redbridge who have 19 points. Newport also play midweek, on Tuesday, when they are away at Leyton Orient which is another team still with playoff hopes.

The 3rd highlighted game sees Northampton, who are second with the same points as Plymouth but with a game in hand, playing 13th placed Morecambe who with 35 points still hope to get to the playoff places.

Next comes an obviously important game with 5th placed Portsmouth, on 44 points, taking on Oxford placed 3rd with 48 points.

My final important game is played on Tuesday when currently placed 13th and mid table, Morecambe play currently 9th placed Mansfield.

Yet again I feature Notts as my key game.

** Notts County v Wimbledon

Notts are now 16th with 33 points from 25 games and 7 points below 7th placed Wycombe, occupying the last play off place, on 40 points. Opponents Wimbledon are 8 places higher than Notts and with 39 points only one point outside the playoffs from 26 games.

Notts lost at Wimbledon 2-1 earlier this season 19/9/2015.

This is the first game at Meadow Lane for Notts with Jamie Fullarton at the helm. Can Notts build on last weeks win away at Crawley? Will JF continue with the attractive attacking style of play seen in home games under the previous manager but with some much needed defensive quality added to Notts' game? Is a promotion push still on? There are still 21 games (63 points) for Notts to play. Interesting!

good read as usual but the random formatting is a bit annoying tbh.

There are some interesting ties this weekend, which I will be keeping an eye out on. Hopefully, JF can get off to a good start at home, it would help massively right now.

@liampie - I'm painfully editing the article, removing the code which is applied via HTML. I can only apologise :(

Fixed now...

Mansfield lost to them at home but its a good thing Fullarton focuses on how he believes teams will play against us. 2-0 is a brave prediction! I am going for a draw.
