Second and Third Divisions
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Suspensions deprive the Second Division leaders, Reading, of two solid midfielders in Phil Parkinson and Keith Jones but Alan Pardew's side should still take the opportunity to increase the pressure on second-placed Brighton when they face relegation-threatened Notts County at home.
Brighton are in confident form and at full strength but clearly face a more difficult task away to seventh-placed Oldham, who hope to include the Argentinian midfielder Carlo Colusso, on loan from Rosario Central, if international clearance comes through in time.
Third-placed Stoke City, having returned to form with a 5-0 thrashing of Cambridge United in midweek, meet Port Vale at the Britannia Stadium in tomorrow's Potteries derby.
In the Third Division, leaders Plymouth face third-placed Mansfield, while second-placed Luton travel to Rochdale, who are fourth. Rushden and Diamonds, in sixth, travel to Hull, one place above them.
