League One Round-Up - 7th January 2006 FA Cup round three weekend ate into the League One action, but Southend extended their lead at the top of the table when claiming a point at Oldham. Onlyfour games took place, but there were even less goals - with only fans at the Yeovil-Hartlepool and Chesterfield-Bradford games seeing any celebrations. Southend made the long trip to Oldham and came away with a point, as The Shrimpers secured a 0-0 draw on their travels. It was a similar scenario at Tranmere, as Bournemouth's long trek to the North West resulted in a 0-0 draw. Yeovil were the only team to secure victory on Saturday, as a brace from Phil Jevons handed them three points at home to Hartlepool. A late goal from Adam Smith lifted Chesterfield to a win over Bradford and into the play-off picture. League One Round-Up - 10th January 2006 High-flying Huddersfield salvaged a last-gasp 2-2 drawat Scunthorpe. Danny Schofield equalised for The Terriers (44) after Peter Beagrie had opened the scoring (17), but Andrew Keogh, who netted in the FA Cup against Manchester City on Saturday, put The Iron back in front. It seemed as though Scunthorpe would hold on, but they were denied victory by an injury time strike from Martin McIntosh. Struggling Blackpool earned a valuable 1-0 victory against Oldham, Lewis Gobern scoring a wonderful goal just after half time for The Seasiders (48). Barnsley got back to winning ways at home to Gillingham, Chris Shuker (15) securing a 1-0 win for The Tykes. Rotherham and Port Vale shared the points at Millmoor. Will Hoskins' strike (26) equalised Michael Husbands' earlier effort (7). Michael Keane, who had earlier missed a penalty, was sent off two minutes from time for the home team.

News of Swansea City’s financial position hit home yesterday as the club announced further losses. The profit and sustainability rules are forever hanging over a club, and in Swansea City’s case like everyone else it’s a rolling three year issue. Glyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend. Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer. We have been told by numerous Swansea fans of a chance meeting in a service station between Jamal Lowe and those returning from Norwich yesterday. Nothing in that or indeed the conversation they had yesterday. Indeed there has to be some interpretation from what we know already on Jamal Lowe. It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.

If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report. The Swans are on the Norfolk Broads, punting and boating their way to the end of the season. Hopefully the city of Norwich is obliging. Swansea City have set out on their second long distance away trip in two weekends, this time to Norwich for todays clash between the Swans and Canaries (3pm) Over the last ten meetings between the clubs Swansea City have won five times, Norwich the same. As a result of the news reported by Sky on Wednesday that five military horses had escaped and ran through central London, a Cardiff City follower thought it wise to relate the incident to the death of Swansea fan Terry Coles, 42. |
