"A force to be reckoned with": Crewe Alexandra vs Bristol Rovers predictions News: The72 - Football League News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Crewe Alexandra come into this weekend’s clash with Bristol Rovers as the draw specialists of League Two. Lee Bell‘s side have drawn their last six games, leaving them a point outside of the top eight. Whilst draws have been the story of the Alex’s season, a lot of it is down to just how hard Bell’s team is to beat. The Railwaymen have conceded just six goals this year, matching just two other sides, and one more goal than Walsall, who have the best defence in the division. For Bristol Rovers, w
In-form winger can be a key factor in Blackburn Rovers' bid for Championship survival: Opinion News: The72 - Football League News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Blackburn Rovers remain among the favourites to be relegated from the Championship this season, despite an okay start for Tony Mowbray‘s side. The East Lancashire side sit in 16th with nine points from eight matches, winning twice. All of last season, Rovers struggled for a spark in attacking areas, but that looks to have changed.

Micky Mellon’s Oldham Athletic are in a rut, having lost three games in a row in the league. The Latics have failed to yet find the form that got them close to the play-offs last season and are struggling for momentum in the mid-table of League Two. OAFC’s last win in the division came over Swindon Town at the back end of August, where they took advantage of a depleted Robins side. Now, they will hope to find another three points against a Salford City outfit that are kicking into life. In oppos
"Found their feet": Wycombe Wanderers vs Reading predictions News: The72 - Football League News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This season has not been kind to Wycombe Wanderers so far. A difficult start saw Michael Duff lose his job in the driving seat but since his departure, things have begun to look a little brighter for the Chairboys over the last few weeks. Wanderers have now won three games on the bounce in all competitions, with new talisman Jayden Wareham really beginning to make an impact. The former Exeter City striker has netted two goals in his opening three appearances, and will look to bag another against
West Ham need a prolific no.9 to strengthen their promotion bid - here's who they should target (opens the original)
Read excerpt
West Ham’s bid to return to the Premier League is going well so far, sitting 2nd in the Championship following a 2-2 draw with Millwall in the Dockers derby. In the second division, no game is easy, and WHUFC could do with a little bit more to get over the line. The Hammers’ starting strikers are yet to really get going. Whilst the team is scoring goals, it is not striking group is not leading the scoring charts with Taty Castellanos on one league goal and Pablo on none. One summer target who co
