This weekends fixture list looks very interesting... i think it's what Jeff Stelling would call an "Accumulator Buster"
Coventry (2nd) v Gillingham (1st)
&
Bury (6th) V Burton (4th)
&
Walsall (3rd) V Sheff Utd (8th)
&
Scunthorpe (12th) V Bradford (7th)
The league is still quite closely knit between points / positions at this moment, so this weekend the above teams have a large chance of draws, Which is why I think it's even more the reason why a home victory v Blackpool is more vital than other recent full division 1 fixtures, I see it as an opportunity for us to catch up with the chasing pack or if results dont against against us, we could drop further behind.
Southend (11th) - 24 Points
Other teams that are in and around us have "on paper" some easy games, namely being:
Crewe (24th) V Peterborough (10th)
&
Millwall (9th) V Colchester (17th)
&
Wigan (5th) V Shrewsbury (19th)
Other teams that are in and around us that could endanger our league position should they get a result are:
Port Vale (13th) V Chesterfield (14th)
&
Rochdale (15th) V Doncaster (16th)
Coventry (2nd) v Gillingham (1st)
&
Bury (6th) V Burton (4th)
&
Walsall (3rd) V Sheff Utd (8th)
