I was only joking about Ameobi mate, although I'd love him to prove me wrong!

Chopra is a great shout, I'd forgotten that he'd gone back to Cardiff. Think Lita will do well but I'm not sure, like you, on their ability to create goals.

I think you underestimate the Sholmeister as he was my first pick but he was best priced 33/1 with firms who had Dickenson at 16/1 so the double odds fell short...might find a way to back him just in case.

Ok just been on your site and seen he's never made double figures.

What do I know I think you were right.

Just looking at Saturdays odds and any evens or better on Derby beating Peterborough looks worth putiing in accas.

I think Posh are over rated on the ante post lists and will come good later like Donny did but the first few weeks could see them there for the taking.

And Forest to win at Reading with the signings they have made they should be 2/1 not 15/4 which to me is excellent value.

Think Burton are decent at 4/1 to beat Shrewsbury but I might just have a first goalscorer who will be massive odds for that one, hope the bookies have not been paying as much attention to them as I have

He's hardly played though to be fair. If he's a regular, I expect him to bang in a few. Quite injury-prone though, so one I wouldn't back personally.

Good point I just wonder which way it will go for you it seems like it will be as you were under Keegan (1st time) where you score tons and let in just as many but when have you ever been predictable and you could end up enduring loads of mediocre low scoring games.

I think we may struggle to score. If we have a back four of: R.Taylor - S.Taylor - Kadar - Enrique, I don't think we'll concede many. At the other end of the pitch, our midfield is still awful which will struggle to create chances for the likes of Carroll, Ameobi, Xisco and Ranger. If we play Vuckic in midfield or just behind the strikers, we would probably look a lot better and create more.

I guess the rest of the division will get lots of chances to suss you out with all the live games your getting

I know, really annoying is that! Was looking forward to plenty of 3pm kick-offs on a Saturday. Ah well, at least I get a lie-in on Saturday with it being an evening kick off.

As long as we pick up the three points on Saturday, I'm not fussed what it's like.
