DESMOND is tackling another depleted card and we know how much he likes English League One and Two.
He says: “There are fewer league games to look at with English and Scottish Cup ties taking place.
“Two teams I like the look of are Blackpool and Queen of the South. Blackpool take on National League North side Brackley. After knocking out Gillingham in the last round it's another tough one but with 13 goals scored in their last 4 home games I like Ladbrokes' offer of 1-2 on the Tangerines scoring 2+ goals.
“Next up are Queen of the South at home to Dumbarton. After watching Dumbarton get lucky last week to stay in the Scottish Cup away to junior outfit Bonnyrigg Rose I can see the home men, under new boss Gary Naysmith, adding to their 12 goals scored against Dumbarton in their last four home meetings.
“Queens have been a bit off form recently and crashed out the Scottish Cup at Albion Rovers in midweek with Celtic the prize for the winners but they should get a boost with Naysmith's appointment. Ladbrokes offer 4-6 on them scoring 2+ goals.”
