dont know really.

I wouldnt say they were under such a big pressure for results this season.

They were expected to fight against drop before season started, so they actually did much better than even their fans probabaly expected them to do.

Sport	Football (Eng - Champ)
Event	West Brom x Sheff Wed
Selection	over 2,5
Strength	10/10
Date	13/04/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Blue Square @ 1.91 (Back)
Reasoning	This game is crucial for both teams, the West Bromwich is in the fourth position, but it is followed of close by some teams that threaten its position, while that for the Sheffield alone it interests a result: the victory. For this reason I wait an open game today and moreover the defense of the two teams is not very good, the 61 Sheffield took gols in 42 games, and the West 51 Brom took gols in 42 games. As the two teams need the victory, it is of if to wait many possibilities of goal and joining this statistics, I find very probable to over here.

i have to back up those who thinking of betting on stoke - chopra has been playing but scimeca remains a doubt, loovens is out for the season and the rest have tired legs.

for me, one of the other big problems for the city has been neil alexander trying to fleece the club for money we dont have - fcuking good riddance to him in the summer, we dont want selfish twats in the club. I applaud dave jones for chucking him on the bench but its left us with david forde in goal who i'm not overly impressed with - his introduction to the team has coincided with our poor run of resullts.

i'll be laying cardiff here, or backing stoke with a saver on the 0-0

West Brom HAVE to win and I guess that whether they will depends on how they can handle the pressure. I wouldn't be suprised if they won 2-1 tonight on the basis that they often tend to make games difficult for themselves but come through in the end. So I may wait this one out to see if SW take the lead... I guess this game is live in-play... if SW do then I might back WBA at improved odds. If not then there will be a no-bet for me.

I would give more reasoning for my thinking but at work and on lunch so can't for now. So on that basis I would give mine a dubious factor of 4/10 of coming right and that depends on WBA going a goal down.

As suspected Sheff Wed take the lead and now WBA are @ 7.6 for the win...will back them for the win now and watch them turn it to 2-1 win...

[THEO-007]

The new trainer LEICESTER NIGEL WORTHINGTON knows well the team of NORWICH. He work there at OCTOBER. He knows the good and the bad thinks and he has good chances to play clever and will take the win.

LEICESTER has 5 points air from the relagation zone but she has much more heavier week starting from tomorow. Three games in one week.

14/4 - LEICESTER vs NORWICH

17/4 - LEICESTER vs BIRMINGHAM

21/4 - PRESTON - LEICESTER

So the team need the win tomorow because the next matches is much more difficult to take points from them. The team maybe look tired with all this games in the row. So she wants win now at the starting of the row.

So i believe HOMEWIN Here in this match.

I'm still going to go with QPR purely because I know what we like when it comes to big away games and the odds are way to big to turn down (Heart over head).

Colchester away form isnt partically good but there performances of late have been great and there strikeforce is firing on all cylinders, So I'm going to go for an Away win at Hull.

Nothing else really sticks out to me apart from maybe Palace to upset Wolves playoff charge.

Scorpio, you are missing the point mate. people know me on here as the resident R's fan. I am merely stating the fact that at 7/1 we represent some value. The asian handicap @ -1 or -2 is even more appealing.

Its is a betting forum but some of us do like to assist by giving our thoughts on our own teams. Also, i dont do this every week, i have waited til we hit form as you didnt hear from me when we lost 7 on the bounce away did you??

[edd1e316]

Bit biased as I am a QPR fan to but I'm with Bowles here, I have been an unregistered user and browsing these forums for months and Can only remember two times that Bowles has tipped QPR, so it's not like hes constantly tipping the team he supports.

Anyways Bowles you making the pleasurable trip up north tomorrow ?

[Djordje]

Any fresh news on Eastwood?

Interesting stats:

16th Jan 07 Barnsley v Southend 0 - 2
6th Jan 07 Southend v Barnsley 1 - 1
28th Nov 06 Barnsley v Southend 2 - 0
17th Apr 06 Barnsley v Southend 2 - 2
22nd Oct 05 Southend v Barnsley 1 - 1

... another draw?

Both sides made great results in last round, so it would be best idea to leave this one alone

Not chance in hell mate, the club has enough of my hard earned with the season ticket money

gave up on away games after watching the shite through the late nineties.

will be glued to radio & soccer saturday though as ever

Cardiff coming to town next week should be good. First time its been on a saturday at 3pm for years so Police must have let them off for good behaviour - wait & see the helicopters!!

there were few more sides that played Norwich lately, and they didnt have any simpathies for their problems - this is not Italy or some Eastern European league.

that cant be a rason for a bet, but good luck to you.

Manager factor and selection worries at Norwich could do the job for you.

what do you guys think about Leeds tonight ?

value is without any doubt on Burnley.

Burnley just started playing and they are well capable of beating Leeds today.

Leeds are desperate though and they might do something similar like against Plymouth two weeks ago - get result without half-decent performance.

[Djordje]

Ipswich are much better side than these odds suggest. They can beat anyone on their day, and in promotion hopeful Derby County they should be motivated enough.

I'm not sure if Rams are able to clinch promotion directly, as they lost their form lately, and there will be much pressure on their backs today. Portman Road was always difficult place for them, and I dont see that change in this match.

Home win for me.

[SaberBlade83]

I see some interesting value in a few games today. Although I find this league really hard to predict.

BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHAMPTON

Not sure here, but really Southampton have been doing better in recent times? A win could very well take them into a play-off spot. Last game ended 4-3 to Southampton and I think we could see goals and the AW here today. Looks pretty interesting to me.

Score prediction: 1-2

Pick 1: Southampton - 3,50 @ Expekt


HULL-COLCHESTER

Colchester won the previous game 5-1, and have now 4 straight wins. Hull have done well recently and have pulled themselves into safety. But I still think Hull have all the pressure on them here, Colchester have done great this season and could very well still make the play-offs, but I doubt that was a goal when the season started. They seem to enjoy themselves on the pitch and I think they could grab a 5th win today.

Score prediction: 1-3

Pick 1: Colchester - 2,80 @ Expekt


COVENTRY-PRESTON

Preston have lost their last 4 games and seem to be well under the ice right now. Coventry may not be in great form either, but they still have won 2 of their last 3 home games. Dowie has done well as the new manager for Coventry and I think he will want his team to grab 3 fresh points today.

Score prediction: 3-1

Pick 1: Coventry - 2,55 @ Expekt


LUTON-PLYMOUTH

Luton are 7 points from safety and are in deperate need of points, but time is running out. Plymouth away from home are very unpredictable, and I think Luton could grab the vital 3 points today, as the away team don't have much to play for this season. Luton may be missing several players here, but motivation should still be high and a win isn't impossible.

Score prediction: 1-0

Pick 1: Luton - 2,30 @ NordicBet

[bowles10]

well, we lost 1-2 to Sunderland to a 76th minute winner. Thought we would run them close & we did.

Still, the 1/2 odds were landed so well done to those who stayed with it.
