Easter, hot cross buns, eggs, four Sundays in a row, will it ever end ? Thankfully, we have football.
I saw some interesting things in the first Easter fixtures and hopefully, we can use them to our advantage today. Watched the Cardiff-Sheff U game on sky, the welsh team looked like they were dreaming of the beach. They have had a good season after the struggles of last year, but feel they can now be opposed, Crewe have finally found some form (too late) and will be unchanged for the 9th match in a row. So, we have winner number one.
Nottm Forest are in fantastic form, with five wins in a row, a playoff place that looked very unlikely a month ago, is now within their grasp. All the teams above them have lost form and are struggling to win, victory today could well leave them in the top 6. They are a massive club at this level, the crowd today will approach 30,000, something most Championship teams can only dream of, surely they have come too far to mess up now.
Accrington earned promotion to the Football League on Saturday, congratulations to them, they have dominated the Conference this year. However, surely they had a little celebration, can they really be "up" for the game today. Visitors Scarborough are in a perilous position and must look for the three points, I cannot pass up the 5.50 on offer.
Milton Keynes were dead and buried a few weeks ago but have given theirselves a lifeline. They recently played Brentford, who are in line for automatic promotion, the Dons lost 1-0 but played the Bees off the park, missing chance after chance. Today they face Hartlepool, the loser will be almost down, the victor will have renewed hope, it should not be a draw as this will not help either. I can only take the team showing the best current form.
Doncaster Rovers seem to have given up on the season, they are set to give several youngsters an outing today, this means we can take a small chance on visitors Walsall. Rovers are a good side, I have seen them three times this year, but they have had horrendous injury problems, next season they will be real contenders in this league. However, for today, it's the Saddlers.
All other selections are the usual motivational picks.
