WHAT TO DO !


I have so much to pass on today, that we will have to do things a little differently. Going to quickly discuss yesterday's events in this post and give two bets, where I think the odds are unlikely to last long.

The SFL allowed Partick to postpone their match with St Johnstone, wonder how Forfar feel about that, having been refused under similar circumstances, just a couple of months ago. There is just no consistency with these governing bodies.

Two winners yesterday, Luton outplayed Birmingham in a 2-2 draw, Golden State won by 10 points, York City couldn't break down the Woking defence, although they had chances.

In Scotland, we have to back Dumbarton, who are second in the table and looking to close the gap on leaders East Fife. Today they host Queens Park, who have a host of problems, 3 suspended, 3 injured and two big doubts.

Dumbarton have won 3/4, scoring 11 in the process and are 7-0-1 at home, the visitor's form has tailed off a little, with just one win in their last 4. A very attractive price on the home team.

We must also back resurgent Macclesfield, who make the long trip to Torquay, who have replaced them at the foot of the table. Paul Ince and his backroom staff, have really got the Silkmen flying and what looked like a season long battle with relegation, now looks like a mid table finish.

An 8 match unbeaten run, has taken them off the bottom of the Football League and into within three wins of eight clubs. They have a massive, 3rd round FA Cup tie at Chelsea to look forward to, a week is a long time in football, two months is a lifetime and a club that looked dead and buried just a short time ago, can now look ahead with optimism.

Torquay are in dire form and have some severe injury problems to contend with, they must start with an untried goalkeeper today and have several other key players missing. I have to side with the Guv'nors men.

4 points Dumbarton -1/2 ball asian line 2.135.
4 points Macclesfield level ball asian line 2.06.

Good Luck.
