DIVISION 1 & 2


A little news and two bets for the lower leagues.

The debacle that is Brentford FC continues and they have been further hampered by injuries today, that is all I really want to say, what has been allowed to happen at my club is a disgrace and it is too depressing to write any more.

Oldham's entire back four are missing today, when they host Bradford, the visitors create plenty of chances, only Swansea have had more attemps on goal in Division 1.

Now to the bets, Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling knows that he is on borrowed time, unless the O's can collect 3 points today. Performances have picked up of late, as has the injury situation and they can defeat high flying Yeovil at Brisbane Road.

The visitors have made the most of their chances this season, having totalled just 139 attempts on goal, a division low, yes, even 12 less than Brentford. These stats tend to catch up with you in the end and I feel Orient will win today, at decent odds.

Paul Sturrock has had time to steady the Swindon ship and can get their promotion push back on track when they visit Torquay this afternoon.

Sturrock will be sure of a warm welcome having coached Plymouth, but sure that he is man enough to handle that. Abuse from the crowd is worse, or better, at the lower levels because you can hear every word, that is the fun in going.

Torquay are in freefall, without a goal in 6 league starts and have only scored 5, in 7 home games all season.

Swindon have lost only once on the road and will be cheered on by a large travelling contingent, some 1500 Town fans are expected to make the trip.

3 points Leyton Orient 2.75 stan james ....... 2.60 is acceptable.
4 points Swindon -1/4 ball asian line 2.05.

Back later.

Good Luck.
