FORTHCOMING FIXTURES

Saturday 12th March 
Hartlepool United v Leyton Orient
Rochdale v Barrow 
Scunthorpe United v Colchester United
Stevenage v Newport County
Swindon Town v Oldham Athletic 

A massive game at Glanford Park on Saturday as Scunthorpe United host Colchester United - Every game is a must win for The Iron now! The Essex side last won back-to-back league games in April 2021 when they beat Walsall 2-1 and Southend United 2-0 at home. 

Will Leyton Orient have a 'new manager bounce' at twelfth placed Hartlepool United with former Oldham Athletic, Swindon Town, Salford City and Doncaster Rovers boss Richie Wellens appointed as Head Coach today followed Kenny Jackett's departure in February. 

Oldham Athletic are unbeaten in four league away games (one win and three draws) could cause a surprise at play-off chasing Swindon Town?
