WHEN possible I'll put up a Saturday Super Single shortlist. It allows some early discussion on the weekend football and we'll also see negatives and positives put against some of my suggested teams.
All these picks are evens or above and taken from my first look at the fixtures without checking team news. With days to go until I make my final decision it might be a different team or bet that is chosen.
I can guarantee one thing though – I won't be picking Dunfermline for the third week running. It's not I don't think they'll beat Cowdenbeath it's just the price is too short now.
I did of course advise them when 4-5 and 17-20 was available earlier in the week but for the Super Single it would have to be Dunfermline -1 or something like that.
Southampton are the only Premier League side featured although I quite like Swansea at home to Newcastle after the way they impressed against Chelsea.
None of the big guns – Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd or Liverpool are in action on Saturday.
So here is Saturday's short list and please let me know if you have fears about any team or particularly like a pick.
I've also added some of the sides who are likely to be feature in the Top Treble.
Super Single shortlist
SOUTHAMPTON v Everton
WATFORD v West Brom
BRISTOL CITY v Brentford
QPR v Cardiff
Blackpool v ROCHDALE
Motherwell v ABERDEEN
Livingston v QoS
DUNFERMLINE -1 v Cowdenbeath
East Fife v BERWICK
ANNAN v Stirling
Top Treble contenders
MIDDLESBROUGH v Bolton
SCUNTHORPE v Crewe
HIBS v Morton
DUNFERMLINE v Cowdenbeath
FORFAR v Albion Rovers
CLYDE v Queen's Park
All teams should play on A Saturday afternoon like in the good old days. Apart from anything else its fairer!
Lord Clegg, that would be great but they’d have no players with no Sky money.
l can see some goals from Soton n Watford games
l will take a gamble on Overs 3.5 goals on the Watford game but l think we can see BTS even before HT in both games
Not 100 percent convinced on hibs after last weeks game and the scott alan saga, morton are too big at 7/1.
Really impressed with Rochdale Mr f and glad to see on your ss list. I am already on them and I agree with your selection.
First five picks are perfect BTTS candidates! Am on it without much ado!!
Placed a treble on Tuesday for this weekend of Middlesbrough, Aberdeen, Dunfermline. Odds were just under 9/2
Also done a midweek treble of both to score in the Dundee Derby, Ipswich & hearts to win which landed at 4/1. Done all six in a 0.5 pt accumulator aswell so it’ll be a good week if the above treble comes in
Pretty soon the bookies are going to realise just how abysmal Wigan are and then they will stop pricing their opponents up at the prices they do.
DONCASTER DNB 29/20
DONCASTER WIN 13/5
Take ur pick
I’ve been a rochdale fan since I was 2 years old, 30 years now and I’ve seen alot of heartache over these years, but what Keith hill is doing with that squad of players year after year is nothing short of amazing!
If we had any budget what so ever to spend I have no doubt we would be among the favourites for league one.
Unfortunately we don’t, and every dale fan knows survival year on year is the 1st objective.
Ipswich v Wednesday BTTS and over 2.5 goals
8/5
We don’t have a great record down there, but BTTS has come up in the last 5 meetings… unfortunately that’s a shade under evens at 10/11, but I’ll be all over it on Saturday. It’ll be interesting to see how we get on against a decent side away from home after two straightforward wins at Hillsborough. Ipswich were strong at home last season but we have the players now to score at least once.
I HAVE FOLLOWING YOU MR F BUT I WILL BE POSTING TIPS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SATURDAY…… AND ITS GOING TO BE OF HIGH ODDS
I think my bet of the weekend is City Chelsea draw & under 2.5 – 100/30. Can see this being a 0-0 or 1-1, with Jose bringing Zouma into the midfield to try and nullify Yaya.
Swansea bet of the seek for me.Newcastle crap defence ,Swansea have a lot of creativity I think they will put at least 2past Newcastle .
I’m with your picks Mr F, will look at most of them with key in interest. And I will make my suggestionson sSaturday nice work Mr F.
Annan to beat Stirling NAP.
Middlesbrough,Celtic,Rangers,Hibernian & Dunfermline 5-fold. Also strongly fancy the Dons but may leave for my Saturday Treble.
Chelsea’s defence was shocking against Swansea and now the keeper is out 11/10 Man City looks good to me GL.
