Tuesday's Football

[The Camel]

Really good punting card tonight I think.

Had five bets:

Burnley 4.2 @ Cardiff. Cardiff look totally opposeable after struggling mightily with Scunthorpe. Burnley seem to really be responding to Eddie Howe and the best player in the Championship Chris Eagles finally looks back to his best.

Preston 6.4 @ Watford. Watford finally look to be reverting to the mean. Malky has done a fantastic job with a pretty limited squad, but their results recently have really taken a dive. I would be very surprised if they make the playoffs. Preston are tez, but I rate Phil Brown and although results haven't improved much yet, performances suggest they are really trying for him. Watford are rightly heavy favourites, but I think 1.63 is way too short.

Bristol Rovers 4.2 v Bournemouth. Bournemouth are way way ahead in L1 of where their talent levels suggest they should be. Their squad is wafer thin and they are woefully short of striking options. The collapse is going to come, they are not going to get automatic promotion and i have a feeling they might be surpirsed by Rovers who are playing much better than their results suggest and in Will Hoskins have one the best strikers in the League.

Orient 3.5 @ MK Dons. When are Orient finally going to recognised as the excellent team they obviously are. They score for fun, are really strong at the back and have one the best managers at this level. They were really unlucky not to beatr Brighton a couple of outings ago. MK are obviously very strong at home, but I'm riding the Orient bus until everyone else realises what a good team they are.

Walsall 2.2 v Dagenham. This is my nap. Walsall have suddenly hit form in style. They were desperately unlucky to lose to Bournemouth on Saturday. They are creating tons of chances with Julian Gray being much underrated imo. Alex Nicholls is a good striker too and Jason Price has always scored goals at this level. Dagenham are going nowhere except back down to League 2. Walsall solid odds on favourites with me.

I like Tranmere too, but Jennings is unlikely to play. If he is in the team, 9/4+ is too big.

Norrrrr,

Rate the left side of Hartlepool, see what you think Keith, Horwood is a solid left back, and Monkhouse is under-rated I think, always gets a few goals a season for them and does a good shift there.

If Bjornsson plays, try not to laugh. Also, try running alongside Collins for pace, you'll beat him.

Think in general though they've done well not to be in the bottom 4, poor side imo.

eagles best player in the championship??  lets not get too carried away to justify a selection

When he's playing at the top of his game, I think he is.

Who would you put in front of him?

Craig Bellamy?

Snodgrass of Leeds...watch his goal from  Saturday Eagles has been in and out of their team for years, so managers must know he's inconsistent at best,

Apparently he's got asthma, it's the reason for inconsistency.

When he's on song, he was unplayable in the Prmiership, let alone the Championship.

[doglayer]

snod for sure.  There are at least two players at cardiff in front of him i would have thought.  Holt/Sinclair. Wouldnt even have said Eagles is certain to be in the team of the year for the championship at the end of the season. 

Love the detailed reasoning for the selections.  You clearly think outside the box and try to see trends happening before they actually do and the oddsmakers react accordingly.  I have backed 4 of your 5 selections on the asian markets prior to seeing your reasoning.

[Horneris]

Great bets and reasoning. I'm not sure about Burnley and Orient although I see the value but I think Preston and Bristol Rovers are very decent shouts for the explanations given.

I don't think Eagles will get in Championship team either. He was terrible under Laws.

But the last three matches, he looks right back to his best, he terrorised Watford on Saturday.

I wouldn't play Preston on the Asain lines, good chance they'll get marmalised, better to go for the jackpot and bet them at 11/2.

preston was the only one of your picks i didnt play.
