5/2 on my boys beating west brom

ok, they are going for the title, we are already on the beach

but,, Loftus road will be absolutely full for the 1st time this season with every ticket sold & it would depend on the team we put out as we have 2 centre halves both out which could cause a massive problem, & Busacky/Agyemnag havent figured in the last 2 games, so team news will be really important here.

Looking forward to it though.

Bristol City v Preston - 10/3 skybet - 19/10 draw no bet, centrebet

Is it just me or do Preston scream value at 10/3 at skybet away at bristol city. Preston have been consistently performing well under alan irvine, whereas bristol city have not. Preston have only lost 1 in out of their last 10, but bristol city have only won 1 in the same period. Although preston havent actually won in 4, they were desperately unlucky v ipswich last game, and their one defeat in this period was at home to barnsley, where they were the better team by all accounts. Bristol City are safely in the playoffs now, and could i be right in thinking they will maybe not be as focused on this game as they should be, with their energies being concentrated on the big playoff games coming up? if they arent on the ball this impressive preston team certainly have the capabilities to upset them, and at 10/3, or the safer 19/10 draw no bet option this is a bet i am seriously considering at the moment.

more importantly, how did you come to the conclusion of backing them??

This thread is about analysis rather than bets

Wow, what a fantastic day this promises to be and squeaky bum time for those of us supporting one of the teams in the mix.

Leicester to be relegated @ 13-8 (extrabet)

Southampton played pretty well against West Brom last week and I can see them getting something out of their game with an injury hit Sheff Utd. Leicester face a tough task away at Stoke, although a point would be good enough for Stoke to go up they will surely play for the win. I can't see Leicester getting any more than a draw but I can see a the Saints beating Sheff Utd, also if the results in other games are going against Sheff Utd then their heads could just drop.

[WHUPUNTER]

Looks a fair price Dougal, might have a go at that myself.

[Kozzin Benson]

Sheffield Wed to beat Norwich @ 1.76

Sheff Wed have only lost 1 of their last 6 matches.
They are fighting for their lives in the championship.
Norwich have nothing to play for & have lost 13 away this season.
Sheff Wed have won all 5 of the previous meetings & drew the 6th.
Good Luck with winning much monies!

[DJEFCDJ]

Barnsley to beat cardiff away?, cardiff will be ducking out of challanges, trying to stay fit for the cup final, barnsley will want revenge for the semi

[SeanMac]

Wolves To Beat Plymouth

Wolves must win to havee any chance of making the play offs while Plymouth are sitting 10th with no chance of making the play offs or being relegated so there season is over

West Brom to Beat QPR

This one is obvious, with a win being enough to make West Brom champions while QPR sit mid table also with nothing to play for , West Brom should come out of this with the victory they need

Watford to beat Blackpool

Watford still havent secured there place in the play offs and a draw may not be enough to do this , so they will be going out for a win Also it has to be highlighted that Watford have one of the best away records in the league and should ease past 18th placed Blackpool who may still be relegated but i dont think they have anything to worry about with the teams below them having tough fixtures also

Palace to beat Burnley

Palace occupy the last play off spot , only with a point though , and if they lose or draw here , there dream of playing in the premier league will be over prematurely . Burnley are 11th in the league so basically have nothing to play for and are already on the beach relaxing , there season is over . Palace also have the home advantage so should win

For the sake of £10 you get £99 back , £89 profit for which imo looks like a safe bet leave comments lads

[Djslutmonkey]

Wednesday vs Norwich looks to be an interesting one in that I fancy Wednesday to win, after finally getting that elusive three points at Leicester last week following a run of 7 draws and a defeat. In fact Wednesday have lost only once in 11, while Norwich have lost 4 in a row away from home. Wednesday have already sold out the home stands, so Hillsborough should be rocking.

However, the best price available currently is 1.73, which puts me off this for now.

They do have a good away record but that's all to do with their early season form, they've only won 1 in 13 games and that includes just 1 win in their last 9 away. Blackpool are very hard to beat at home and have only lost 4 all season, they've only lost 1 in 10 at home and that was an unlucky defeat to West Brom.

[leecrowe007]

Would also stay away from watford sean, they are quite simply an awful team at the moment. In fact i would say they are nearly as bad as colchester. They got beat at home to scunthorpe last time out, and deservedly so as they only had about 2 shots which is shocking to be honest. Teams have learned how to play against watford now, and without marlon king they lack anyone who can produce a bit of magic to get them a goal from nothing. Would leave watford well alone mate although the other 3 should win

A safe bet at odds of nearly 9/1 WOW!!

In reality there's no such thing as a safe four-fold & the Championship is the most difficult division to predict this season, there is barely a 'safe' single!! But it's all about backing your judgement & a tenner won't break the bank! Good luck!

[happyhornet]

I would echo other's sentiments when it comes to backing Watford. We are in terrible form, there are strong rumours eminating from the Vic that Aidy has lost the dressing room, DeMerit has allegedly asked to leave, and the players in general aren't too fixated with the hoofball they are being asked to play. There is no confidence in the forward line, we didn't even muster a shot on target last weekend against Scunny.

[Soloshchenko]

Prestons Neil Mellor and Chris Brown have formed a formiddable strike partnership to pull the North End out of trouble for a safe finish. West Broms Craig Beattie could also come off the bench to play for a PNE contract next season as his loan move has recently been hampered by injury.

I think we could beat Bristol today. Yeah its a long way to go but Irvine has really got all the lads pulling in the right direction and Bristols form has shown a team hanging on rather than playing well.

North End win for me. Maybe a flutter on Beattie as last scorer.

[bowles10]

busacky doesnt play for QPR tomorrow so main playmaker out of the team. Vine has a broken leg & Agyemang still a doubt. Stewart suspended also.

So just depends how we hold the WBA back.

With that team news not a bet for me tomorrow. 5/2 was looking big until i found out about Busacky.

wba need to win to become champion
so they will want to win

that sums it up for me!!

Ipswich Town v Hull City, over 11 corners @evens

Ipswich home games average a shade over 11 corners as do the Tigers away games. Both sides need to win tomorrow so there should be plenty of shots and crosses flying into the box.

[dj purry]

bowles10, do u think that wbr have any chance 4 the champion , look what happend 2 doncaster today. i think wbr can,t do that 4 theme fans , what do u think mate
