    Former Rochdale and Tranmere midfielder on Squad Goals

    I think Walsall will be a dark horse in League Two - they have recruited really well.

    They won 4-0 against Hartlepool last week, they finished last season strongly under Michael Flynn and they've taken that momentum into this season.

    The Saddlers are at Flynn's former club Newport County this afternoon.

    Swansea 0-0 Blackburn

    Joel Latibeaudiere looks to get Swansea off the mark as they welcome Blackburn.

    He works onto Ryan Manning's cross into the box but he can't quite work onto it as the ball flashes past the face of goal.

    It's been the perfect start for Cardiff and their noisy travelling supporters in the sold-out away end at Reading.

    Callum O'Dowda, one of 14 summer signings, has given them the lead with his first goal for the club, heading in from Ryan Wintle's free-kick.
