Saturday's League One fixtures:

Carlisle United v Reading
Cheltenham Town v Burton Albion
Derby County v Port Vale
Fleetwood Town v Wigan Athletic
Leyton Orient v Bristol Rovers
Northampton Town v Charlton Athletic
Peterborough United v Exeter City
Portsmouth v Oxford united
Shrewsbury Town v Blackpool
Wycombe Wanderers v Barnsley
 
Oxford have a difficult game at Portsmouth, and go to Bolton a week on Tuesday; fans are calling for the dismissal of the prodigal son Buckingham already.

P18 W5 D7 L6 F26 A26 Pts22 is a poor return for a side that was coasting near the top. Buckingham's PPG of 1.22 equates to 56 points across a full season, which is barely better than relegation standard.

Their five wins have come against Wigan (13th), Cambridge (16th), Burton (17th), Charlton (19th) and Carlisle (24th). They haven't beaten a side from the top half for almost four months.

I suspect their one win in nine games is about to become one in ten.
 
Of the teams above us, they should all win bar Oxford and Blackpool (away to Shrewsbury, who were awful at Lincoln; however, Blackpool have only won four aways all season).
 
All of today's highlights will be embedded on this thread when they appear on YouTube later/tomorrow!
