League Two continues to attract more column inches, television minutes and internet bandwidth with the addition of not one, but two former England internationals in just a few months this season. Robbie Savage and Crewe boss David Artell have both taken the time today to point out how both men have much more to lose than gain from their managerial punts.  Artell’s Crewe got a 3-3 draw at Campbell’s Macclesfield last weekend, and this weekend they come face to face with Scholes’s Oldham. The Model fancies a 2-1 Oldham win – already a revised forecast relative to before Scholes had managed a match, reflecting the five-goal opening match of Scholes’s reign in the week.
In League One, sleeping giants Sunderland entertain the even more deeply slumbering Accrington Stanley in the North East tonight, and The Model expects them to shade that one 1-0 (21%).
