Going to cover three matches in this one post, so will not go into the greatest of detail, but all are confident selections.
First up, I like Hartlepool at home to Rotherham. The visitors have done very well, starting the season on -10 points, they are already on +10. However, they are still 5 adrift of the pack and despite their financial problems, must give the league number one priority.
Reading between the lines, I am 100% sure that this is the case and that they would have rested most of the first team, if that had been an option. There is a new rule stating that sides must field at least six regulars.
Pool continue to create a MASSIVE number of chances, they boast a division high 189 attempts at goal, have hit the woodwork 8 times and missed a handful of penalties.
They are averaging a whopping 5 attempts more per game than Rotherham, half of which are on target. I really like them on the level ball asian line.
Next up, I have to take Northampton at home to Brentford, well, cannot back it myself, but the home side are my selection. The two met earlier in the season in the league and The Bees "stole"
the points, in a travesty of justice.
Town are still looking for their first home win, but are unbeaten on the road, this cannot continue indefinitely and they will not get many better opportunities to break their duck.
Brentford have one win inside 90 minutes in 14 starts and were very fortunate in that sole victory, the natives are getting very restless and there are already calls for Rosenior's head. Do not see what he has done so very wrong myself, small inexperienced squad, massive injury problems and no money. Wonder how Jose, Arsene or Sir Alex, would handle that ?
The Cobblers (yes, I know) are creating over 60% more attempts on target than the visitors, who face a "must win" home game with Gillingham at the weekend. Looks like a home win to me, Brentford will give a few youngsters some experience tonight, three key regulars, short of match practice, will start, with instructions not to get injured.
My final selection i
n this competition, is the over"in the Bradford-Scunthorpe fixture. These two will fancy their chances in the league this season , both are nicely placed in the top 5 and in good form. Neither will be too concerned with the result tonight and each creates chances for fun.Bradford's total of 184 attempts at goal, is the highest in Division 1 and the visitors are just behind in second place with 172. Hard not to see plenty of goalmouth action and a few goals.
4 points Bradford-Scuntorpe over 2.5 goals asian line 2.075
4 points Northampton -1/4 ball asian line 1.91
4 points Hartlepool level ball asian line 1.73
Back later with the Champions League.
Good Luck.

Hi Peter,
No money for Wenger is not being able to spend £24m on Reyes, just £8-£10m on someone else.
No money in Division 1 means, free transfers and trying to get players to accept wage cuts ......and then hoping that they get paid.
It's a different world.
Anyway, guess someone is going to tell me that Jose did it at Porto and Sir A at Aberdeen, which is true I suppose.
Good Luck.
