Technically, English football's international break only extends to the Premier League and the Championship, but with just four games left standing, it will be slim pickings in League One on Saturday.

That so many matches have been called off shows the depth of quality in the English pyramid – a depth that means football addicts can still turn to League Two, non-league and a full programme of FA Cup fourth qualifying round games and hand money over at the turnstiles of clubs who really need it. That Barnsley have lost two Saturday home games in a row to international football and have a third scheduled in the next break shows the fixture compilers maybe need to plan a bit better.

Who plays where in them just needs a bit more thought. Third-placed Barnsley are actually better away from home than at Oakwell, where all four of their league defeats so far this season have come, so being in a run of three matches on the road is not so much of a footballing hardship. But this season's fixture list has seemed unusually skew-whiff when it comes to home and away games.
