SWANS CLOSING IN ON TITLE

Jason Scotland scored the only goal of the game to help Swansea claim a 1-0 win over Huddersfield and take a step closer to the Coca-Cola League One title.
The Trinidad and Tobago international turned in Ferrie Bodde's corner from close range on the stroke of half-time to give Roberto Martinez's side victory at the Galpharm Stadium, which extended their lead to 14 points.
Huddersfield's misery was compounded by the late dismissal of former Wales defender Robert Page for a second-bookable offence in the 82nd minute, while Scotland was stretchered off in added time with an ankle injury.
Doncaster midfielder James Coppinger netted in the second minute to give his side a 1-0 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Tranmere at Prenton Park.
The result means Sean O'Driscoll's side leapfrogged Carlisle and Nottingham Forest, who meet at the City Ground on Monday night, into the second automatic promotion place.
Stefan Moore scored in the fourth minute to keep Walsall's play-off hopes on track with a 1-0 win over Luton, who are now 11 points adrift of the safety zone in 23rd place.
Tresor Kandol kept Leeds' hopes of making the play-offs alive with a 25th-minute winner at Swindon.
But Leyton Orient's play-off bid took a hit after they were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Jabo Ibehre's 80th-minute strike looked like it had given Orient the points but Nicky Forster's penalty in injury-time handed his side a share of the spoils.
Crewe remained in the relegation zone despite a battling 0-0 draw at Northampton.
The Railwaymen are separated only on goal difference from Gillingham, who were held to goalless draw by a Yeovil side reduced to 10 men when Stephen Maher was sent off.
Millwall are only a point above the drop-zone after Craig Disley scored in second-half injury-time to give FA Cup quarter-finalists Bristol Rovers a 1-0 win at the Memorial Stadium.
Sam Vokes (6, 45) grabbed a brace to help Bournemouth clinch a 2-0 win over Hartlepool but the Cherries are still 11 points short of the safety mark.
Bottom side Port Vale suffered their 10th home defeat of the season as they were thrashed 3-0 by Oldham. Jordan Robertson (23), Neal Eardley (78) and Matthew Wolfenden (90) were all on the scoresheet for the visitors.

Forest ser ut til "å drite på draget" nok en gang, og ligger under 0-1 hjemme for Carlisle, 5 minutter før slutt. En utligning på tampen hadde vært fint, om det mot formodning skulle vise seg at Leeds drar i land seier etter seier fremover.

[berlin]

Det er forøvrig hele 28 500 som er tilstede på City Ground i kveld,
og uten at jeg vet det tipper jeg Forest har dumpet billettprisene, det gjorde de i alle fall flere ganger i fjor.

[berlin]

Sluttresultat i kveld: Forest - Carlisle  0 - 1

Hvilket betyr at Carlisle er oppe på 2.plass me 61 poeng og en kamp mindre spilt enn Leeds.
Forest beholder sin 4.plass med 56 poeng og en kamp mindre spilt enn Leeds.

Av "topplagene" møter Doncaster Bristol Rovers borte i morgen. Laget fra Bristol kan utmerket godt ta poeng fra Doncaster, la oss håpe det!

[McMidjo]

Verdt å merke seg når det gjelder Carlisle er at 8 av deres gjenstående 13 kamper er på hjemmebane, og når en ser hjemmestyrken deres (13-1-1) begynner det å lukte direkte opprykk av laget.

Trodde det var kjørt for Carlisle når de fikk toppspissen sin Garner langtidsskadd, men så var de smarte nok til å kjøpe inn spissen Scott Dobie i forrige transfervindu, og Dobie ble for sikkerhets skyld matchvinner i forrige bortekamp mot Crewe.

Så kan dere jo gjette hvem de kjøpte Dobie av?  Ja, nettopp - fra Nottingham Forest, som i kveldens kamp stilte med overvektige Grant Holt og slitne Agogo på topp. De andre to spissene - Tyson og Hoskins - er skadd.

Snakk om transferblemme fra Forest.....

[berlin]

Brighton ( med Westlake) er oppe på 49 poeng nå, etter kveldens 4-2 seier over Gillingham. De har forøvrig 1 kamp mindre spilt enn Leeds, og altså et poeng bak.

Oldham snublet derimot mot Hartlepool, og synes ikke å være en trussel mot Leeds.

Doncaster fortsetter å imponere og gjenerobret 2.plassen med seier 1-0 borte mot Bristol Rovers i kveld.
De er nå 11 poeng foran Leeds med likt mange kamper spilt.

Swindon vant 3-2, men, he-he, de topper elegant røde kort statistikken med 7 utviste så langt, 2 utviste fikk de mot Huddersfield.

Du har nok rett i det, de har et ganske lett program igjen, og vil neppe gå inn i en periode ala den Leeds har vært i, men som vi forhåpentligvis er ute av nå. Får være optimist, i alle fall hvis det blir 6 poeng mot Bournemouth og Cheltenham.

League One round-up: Cumbrians up to second; Gills boost survival bid

Carlisle climbed back into the automatic promotion places as they cruised to victory at Leyton Orient.
Gillingham claimed three crucial points in their battle against relegation with victory over fellow strugglers Bournemouth while Brighton moved to within a point of the play-off zone by defeating Swindon.
Crewe claimed three vital points at home to Hartlepool and Huddersfield edged a five-goal thriller with Bristol Rovers.
Luton were forced to settle for a point at home to Cheltenham with the points also shared between Oldham and Millwall, while Leeds defeated Walsall in the evening kick-off.

Brighton 2 Swindon 1Nicky Forster's brace helped Brighton come from behind to defeat Swindon and move to within a point of the play-off places. The Robins took a shock lead in the eighth minute, but Forster lifted spirits at the Withdean Stadium with a swift equaliser. And the striker was on hand once again in the 66th minute to beat Peter Brezovan and secure all three points.

Bristol Rovers 2 Huddersfield 3
Michael Collins struck two minutes from time as Huddersfield twice came from behind to claim all three points at Bristol Rovers. James Berrett (39) equalised for the Terriers after Josh Klein-Davies' opener for Rovers. Chris Lines (49) restored the home side's advantage only for Chris Brandon (70) to level and Collins to snatch the points at the death.

Crewe 3 Hartlepool 1
Crewe claimed three vital points in their battle to stay out of the League One drop zone with Nicky Maynard bagging a brace against Hartlepool. The striker opened the scoring in the 20th minute and he was on target to beat goalkeeper Aaron Lee-Barrett for a second time 10 minutes later. Joel Porter pulled one back for Pools nine minutes from time but Tom Pope (85) restored Crewe's two-goal cushion.

Gillingham 2 Bournemouth 1
Gillingham snapped their four-game losing run to boost their hopes of avoiding the drop and push Bournemouth closer to relegation. The home side took the lead through Andrew Crofts with just nine minutes on the clock and doubled their advantage before the half-hour mark through Simeon Jackson. Jo-Osei Kuffour gave the Cherries hope as he hit back almost immediately, but the visitors were unable to fashion an equaliser and are now 14 points away from safety.

Leeds 2 Walsall 0
Jermaine Beckford's brace boosted Leeds' play-off hopes as they climbed to within two points of sixth place. The striker was on target to give the home side a deserved lead in the 29th minute before making sure of an important three points for Gary McAllister's side 10 minutes from the end.

Leyton Orient 0 Carlisle 3
Carlisle climbed back into the automatic promotion places with a comfortable victory over 10-man Leyton Orient. Former Middlesbrough striker Danny Graham headed home the opener in blizzard conditions in the 17th minute, with David Raven adding a second just after the half-hour mark. The O's were then reduced to 10 when John Melligan was shown a straight red card for his challenge on goalscorer Raven. Grant Smith put the result beyond any doubt four minutes into the second period with a left-foot shot from 25 yards out.

Luton 1 Cheltenham 1
Steven Gillespie claimed a late equaliser for Cheltenham to edge them closer to safety and push Luton closer to the drop. Sam Parkin put the Hatters, who are now 15 points adrift, in front in the 24th minute. But Gillespie struck in the 81st minute to restore parity.

Oldham 1 Millwall 1
Oldham's fading play-off hopes suffered another setback as they were forced to come from behind to claim a point against Millwall. Bas Savage broke the deadlock in the 76th minute only for Leon Constantine to level matters just three minutes later.

Livesey put the Cumbrians ahead five minutes after the break at Brunton Park when he headed Simon Hackney's corner past goalkeeper Mark Bunn from close range.

Foran kampene 28 og 29/3:

League One weekend preview: Will Swansea's recent slump continue in the North East?

League leaders Swansea face a tricky trip to Hartlepool, while second place Carlisle face Gillingham.
The Swans have seen their title bid falter of late and could be in for more misery at Victoria Park.
Meanwhile, Carlisle will fancy their chances of picking up another three points away at the struggling Gills and may yet be able to snatch an unlikely league crown.
Third face fourth at the Keepmoat Stadium on Friday night as Doncaster and Nottingham Forest look to get their promotion bids back on track, while struggling Swindon travel to Tranmere.
Elland Road will play host to a battle between two play-off chasing sides on Saturday when Leeds face Brighton, while Southend take on Walsall in a similar battle at Roots Hall.
Oldham and Huddersfield may have left it too late to mount a bid for a top-six finish but should play out a lively encounter at Boundary Park.
Cheltenham will be keen to build on their recent resurgence in form when they face Northampton, while Crewe go to Luton for a clash between two sides battling away at the wrong end of the table.
There will be a West Country derby at Huish Park as Yeovil welcome Bristol Rovers, and two match-ups involving relegation-threatened sides as Bournemouth take on Millwall at the Fitness First Stadium and rock-bottom Port Vale face Leyton Orient.

Kamper 29/3:

SWANS CLOSE IN ON TITLE

Darren Pratley scored twice to help Swansea move a step closer to the Coca-Cola League One title with a 3-1 victory over Hartlepool at Victoria Park.
The home side had taken the lead after just 26 seconds when Gary Liddle swept the ball past Swansea goalkeeper Dorus De Vries from close range.

6-kampers tabellen er den viktigste, og den sier at det er meget jevn form mellom de ulike
konkurrentene til play-off, L.Orient og Walsall ser imidlertid ut til å ha møtt veggen.

Forøvrig har Leeds kun tapt en av de 10 siste kampene. Litt mange uvagjort har gjort at vi ikke sitter i play-off idag, spesielt Port Vale kampen huskes med gru, men også Brighton.

Leyton Orient er altså på skikkelig nedtur, kan være ok for oss å møte de nå lørdag 5.april,
selv om de nok er ivrige etter å unngå det fjerde tapet på rad, når Leeds gjester Matchroom
Stadium i London.

Like interessant som formtabellen synes jeg det er å se på de gjenstående kampene til disse lagene.

At Forest slo Carlisle i går var enormt hyggelig, om vi fortsatt skal tro på sjansen til en direkte opprykksplass.     Har en følelse av at Carlisle har overprestert i vår, og jeg håper at dette første hjemmetapet deres markerer starten på en skikkelig sprekk nå på slutten. De har noen tøffe kamper igjen.

Det gjenstående kampprogrammet til de åtte øverste lagene ser ganske likt ut â€" kanskje med en liten fordel til Doncaster og Forest. Det er en del innbyrdes oppgjør her, hvor særlig Carlisle bør få kjørt seg…..

8/4
Carlisle â€" Swansea
Southend - Brighton

12/4
Leeds â€" Carlisle
Tranmere - Forest

19/4
Carlisle â€" Southend

26/4
Tranmere - Southend

3/5
Brighton - Swansea
