it has to be done, so, best to get it out of the way quickly.
Have to oppose my team at the weekend, the basic reasons were outlined in a previous article, which can be read here.... http://ubet2win.blogspot.com/2006/07/team-to-avoid.html
Since writing that, Sodje has left for Reading, good luck Sam.
Brentford have made a couple of budget signings, but the squad is threadbare. Of the 21 players registered, 5 are youngsters with exactly 5 league appearances between them. Only five midfielders are on the books, yet we have 8 strikers ! Think you get the idea, players will have to play out of position, it is going to be extremely tough for The Bees this season.
In six pre-season games, all against non league teams, they failed to win in four, drawing 0-0 with Crawley and Bideford, 2-2 with Yeading and losing 3-1 to the Staines Town massive.
They open with a home game against Blackpool on Saturday, who were rumoured to be big spenders this pre season, but that never materialized. However, the stadium has been rebuilt and there will be money for team rebuilding, at some stage. They are a side to keep an eye on in the future.
The Seasiders have been active in the market over the past few days. Having sold Peter Clarke to Southend, they signed Shaun Barker from Rotherham and Ian Evatt from QPR (he will get a good welcome from the Brentford faithful) on extended loan. They also took the young striker Danny Graham from Middlesboro, on a months loan, he played UEFA Cup football last season, all three are expected to start on Saturday.
Put simply, Blackpool are overpriced, do not think any Brentford supporter would be unhappy with a point. In the original article I said that the 3.75 with Corals was big, they have cut it to 3.50, the bigger quote is available with Sporting Odds and BetFred, but seems unlikely to last.
If you can find them +1/2 goal anywhere, it would be a nice bet.
1 point Blackpool 3.75 / 4 points Blackpool +1/4 2.16 betfair.
Good Luck.
