EFL 12/1 Acca – Gab Sutton

Leyton Orient are set to lose their influential manager, Richie Wellens, who has been heavily linked with the Luton job, with bookies suspending the market on the replacement for Matt Bloomfield at Kenilworth Road.

Wellens won the League Two title with Orient in his first full season in charge, then led them to a top half League One finish, before last season’s Play-Off Final, which was narrowly lost to Charlton.

It’s been a big rebuild this year, which the Mancunian had been well on board with, due to positive recruitment and encouraging talks with new shareholder David Gandler which helped convince him to sign a new deal, but his move to the Hatters will be a blow for the East Londoners.

The timing could be handy for visitors Doncaster, who find themselves handily placed in the top 10 after winning the League Two title last season.

It’s been a tough start to Shrewsbury’s return to League Two in general, but especially perhaps at New Meadow: it’s two goals, and two points for Michael Appleton’s men from their first five games on familiar soil.

It’s not as if things are going much better away from home for the Shrews either, but maybe in Shropshire the question marks over the club intensify and the atmosphere becomes frostier.

That’s something visitors Cambridge can take advantage of, with Neil Harris’ side having amassed 18 points from their first 11 games, sitting outside the Play-Offs on goal difference alone.

The U’s don’t have a top seven squad on paper necessarily, but Harris is a manager who can always get teams performing above the sum of their parts – especially at this level.

After a no-show at Barrow suggested a blip for Crewe, Lee Bell’s side have bounced back with 2-1 victories over Notts County and Harrogate, thanks to late winners – a Josh March penalty and a Max Sanders strike respectively.

In Sanders, the Alex boast one of the best midfielders in League Two, and in Mickey Demetriou, one of the top defenders, while their squad depth is stronger than it has been in previous campaigns – so there’s genuine reason for optimism for the Railwaymen.

Visitors Bromley can be solid defensively, and carry a threat from set pieces, but they also look limited in open play, having only scored twice that way all season.

As such, Crewe should justify narrow odds-against quotes.
