New signing Anthony Scully has been thrust straight into the Exeter City line-up for the visit of Rotherham United.

The 27-year-old was a free agent after spending last season with Shrewsbury Town and has been training with the PFA camp all summer.

He has been training with the Grecians for the past week as City look to strengthen their attack.

And do they need a boost - Exeter have not scored a league goal since the start of last month - a four-game run without a goal in League Two.

A new era begins for League One table-toppers Bradford, with the search for a new manager ongoing and Mark Trueman and Colin Doyle in interim charge for the trip to Reading.

The Bantams won their final five matches under Graham Alexander. Three of those were 1-0 wins in League One, most recently at Luton in their most recent league game on 19 September.

Reading boss Leam Richardson (pictured) played down talk of a move to replace Alexander in the lead-up to this game, which could result in Reading closing within a point of City with a win, despite his side being pegged back by a last-gasp equaliser against Wycombe last Saturday.

The Royals have scored 13 goals in their four home games, winning their past three, so it looks like an intriguing meeting of unstoppable attacking force and immovable defensive object, with Bradford having conceded only four goals in their opening seven matches.

There's a big opportunity for Burton or Huddersfield to steal a march on the leading pack and leap into the automatic promotion places in League One, if either of them can find a win this afternoon.

The Brewers are unbeaten at home in eight games since March, though have drawn three of the four games there this season, and are level on points with the Terriers after their 1-0 win at Plymouth last time out.

That ended a four-match winless run for Gary Bowyer's side and midfielder Charlie Webster (pictured, right) said it shows Burton "can go toe-to-toe with most, it not all the teams, in this league".

Martin Drury's men suffered their first defeat of the season in their most recent league game at Bromley on 19 September and will be keen to bounce back and close the three-point gap to leaders Bradford.

To do so, they will have to end their five-match winless run against Burton stretching back nearly 10 years, and turn the tide after losing 3-0 and 3-1 on their past two visits.

Fourth-placed Plymouth will seek to get back on track as they head to their happy hunting ground of Brisbane Road.

Argyle have won on four of their past five visits to east London and will be keen to get back to winning ways after their three-match winning streak was ended by a 1-0 home loss to Burton a week ago.

After losing their opening three home games, Richie Wellens' O's got off the mark in front of their own fans with a 1-0 success against Stevenage in their most recent game on 19 September.

It'll be a tough task to follow it up against Argyle, however, Tom Cleverley's (pictured) men have lost just one of their past 10 away league games, with their 31 points in 16 games on the road the most of any side in the division in 2026.

League One leaders Bradford City are in the process of looking for a new manager following Graham Alexander's exit to Preston North End earlier this week.

Under Alexander, the Bantams won promotion from League Two in 2025 and then reached the third-tier play-offs last season.

"This decision has been an incredibly difficult one for both of us," said Alexander, whose assistant Chris Lucketti has gone with him to Deepdale.

"It has not been taken lightly, but as always I would like to focus on the positives of our time at this special football club."

He added: "It has been an amazing ride, with moments and memories to fill two careers. My time at Bradford City will always be one I look back on with great affection and pride."

Mark Trueman and Colin Doyle will be in charge for today's League One game at Reading.

Manager Graham Alexander may have moved on to Preston earlier this week, but Bradford City will extend their lead at the top of League One this afternoon if they win at Reading.

A slip-up from the Bantams could mean one of Plymouth Argyle, Huddersfield Town or Burton Albion end the day at the top.

Swindon boss Ian Holloway has labelled himself as a "dead man walking" if the club's form does not turn around.

They are winless in their past three outings and began the day 12th in the League Two table, which hardly seems cause for alarm.

"Dead. Man. Walking. That's how it feels, but deep down I know a lot more than that, don't I?" Holloway told BBC Radio Wiltshire.

"I know what I've done, I know where I am, I know the problems I've got here, I've tried to explain them openly and honestly to everybody."

A few weeks ago, Rochdale boss Ian Watson might have known how Holloway was feeling - three straight defeats to start the season after replacing promotion-winning boss Jimmy McNulty was hardly the ideal way to endear himself to a new set of fans.

Three wins from the past five games have steadied the Dale ship. A victory today would take them above their opponents and leave Mr Holloway potentially walking an even more unsteady path.

This could be a cracker. Bristol Rovers established a new club record last weekend with an 11th straight home win and go into the weekend in the top three.

At the same time, today's opponents Crewe were registering a sixth successive draw in League Two.

The Alex are unbeaten but could do with turning those draws into wins - one today and they would go level on points with the Gas.

Earlier this week, Steve Cotterill celebrated the first anniversary of his return to Cheltenham Town.

The Robins were at the foot of the table when Cotterill rejoined in September 2025, but he guided them to safety last term and they could end today top of the fourth tier.

What a year!

Stanley haven't had quite so much to celebrate with just one win so far this season. A defensive record of 14 goals conceded in eight games certainly needs to improve.

This is not how it was supposed to be.

Given the financial outlay, Salford City and their ambitious owners would have cause to expect to at least be an established League One club by now.

Seven years after promotion from non-league, they are into an eighth League Two season with a play-off semi-final the best they have to show for their efforts.

Three successive defeats to kick off the season under new boss Peter Cklamovski after another summer of investment may have had the owners considering their business choices.

But, class is permanent and a five-game unbeaten run encompassing four victories seems to have the Ammies motoring and there is a chance they could finish today top of the pile.

First they must beat Fleetwood, a side who went nine matches unbeaten in all competitions to start the season, including beating Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup.

But, three defeats in a row, including two in the league have slowed the Cod Army's progress and things are not about to get any easier today.

Beaten in the play-off semi-finals last season, Grimsby seem set for another punt at the end-of-season bunfight at the very least.

A surprising 2-1 loss at Newport last weekend ended the Mariners' unbeaten start to the campaign, albeit there are four draws mixed in there.

Shrewsbury have been unable to shrug off last season's struggles and one point from a possible 12 on the road in which they have managed only one goal might leave supporters travelling to North Lincolnshire more in hope than expectation.

"I've got a lot of belief with the players we've got and I do feel like it takes a bit of time - players can't just be dropped into our formation, our way of playing, they need to learn it," said boss Gavin Cowan this week.

A poor end to last season and an indifferent start to this one had everyone a bit edgy in Kent but sticking with Gareth Ainsworth may be starting to pay dividends.

Given carte blanche to build a new squad, the former Wycombe and QPR boss has done just that, although three points from a possible 12 to open the campaign was no way to instil confidence the money had been well spent.

A three-game winning streak was only brought to an end by a 3-0 loss at York City last weekend and a chance to push into the top seven today is surely a sign of better things around the corner - more so with extra firepower added this week with the signing of striker Tom Eaves.

Newport's seemingly annual search for a new boss alighted on Hayden Mullins in the summer.

The former Colchester head coach has his work cut out to avoid another relegation battle with County, but an opening-day victory over Rochdale and last Saturday's 2-1 win against Grimsby shows they will be more than competitive.
