League One Weekend Preview, Game 14

Gills fans aren't looking forward to our visit on Saturday. In spite of their good home record and the form of Canadian front-man Simeon Jackson, talk on their message-boards is of a potential spanking from the Addicks. This might be a classic case of over-estimating your opponents but their away form has been as poor as their home form good and they look short upfront in spite of Jackson's eight goals this season. Scott Vernon started a loan period from Colchester on Saturday but limped off in the first half and has gone back to Essex. So the signs look good, although I am very wary. Our last visit still haunts me and Mark Stimson's side won't need any incentive in this one.

Brentford v Stockport County

Both of these sides have been faltering of late. Stockport were thumped 4-0 at home by Millwall last week and they won't fancy this although they have performed better away from home this season.

Prediction; 1-1

Brighton & Hove Albion v Oldham Athletic

Brighton have managed a couple of wins of late and Oldham have slipped from the play-offs to 12th following their defensive shut-out at the Valley. I can see Oldham getting another 0-0 here if they put their minds to it.

Prediction; 0-0

Bristol Rovers v Yeovil Town

The Cider Army will be relishing the short trip to Bristle although Rovers are smarting from their defeat at Southend and know that they have two home games in which to make up some lost ground on the top two. Chris Dickson is due another goal after missing three good chances at Roots Hall.

Prediction; 2-0

Carlisle United v Southend United

Carlisle haven't won in seven and will hope for a bit of good fortune. If they don't get it then the visit of the mighty Addicks next week might look like another lost cause.

Prediction; 1-1

Colchester United v Walsall

Colchester got a draw at Wycombe last week and will be very confident of their sixth home win of the season. I can't Walsall coming close here.

Prediction; 3-0

Exeter City v Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe haven't won away this season and it took a late goal at home to Colchester last week to get a point. The Grecians know that home form is what will keep them in League One this season.

Prediction; 2-0

Gillingham v Charlton Athletic

I can see all three results here and fear that Gillingham might be too direct for us. having said that, I believe we are a better footballing side but will need to take our chances. I'll sit on the fence.

Prediction; 1-1

Hartlepool v Tranmere Rovers

Tranmere may have won their home game last week with a caretaker manager but this looks like a very hard game against a Hartlepool team who won very well at Swindon last time out.

Prediction; 2-0

Huddersfield Town v Leyton Orient

Town looked a good side last week, especially going forward and it's no surprise they are unbeaten at home. This looks like win number five.

Prediction; 3-0

Millwall v Leeds United

I'm surprised this is a 3pm kick-off bearing in mind the history of these two. Millwall look to be back near full strength and should provide Leeds with their hardest game of the season. I think the Lions might have enough here and if they win Leeds will not fancy their trip to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday.

Prediction; 2-1

Norwich City v Swindon Town

City came very close to the point they deserved at Leeds on Monday but will play with that much more confidence at Carrow Road where they have been finding goals easy to come by. Grant Holt's a good bet for the first goal.

Prediction; 3-0

Southampton v MK Dons

Possibly my match-of-the-day if not Millwall at home to Leeds. MK Dons look like the model of battling consistent whereas Southampton have strung a couple of impressive away wins together. Can't see much between these sides here.

Prediction; 2-2
