Luton very poor. Some good players but not a team.
It will cost them. Automatic promotion out of the window after that showing. |

They were below par Barstool but they were robbed for both the Stevenage goals imo.
The first looked like a foul on the defender (Walsh) and the second was surely way offside, how the linesman didn't see that is baffling ? |

Quite right Dixie, awful stuff all night from the ref, one of the worst I have seen in this league and there are some bad ones!
Teams like Stevenage know how to get by in this league, physically adapt well and defend for their lives, very hard to break down. Luton still finding it hard to come to terms with. Leicester too. |

Stevenage are very good at home last season their figures at home were:
Won 14 Drawn 7 lost 2 and were only 1 point behind Bradford in points gained at home of the teams not promoted. Luton will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season. From memory they had a poor start last season and finished in the play offs so very early days for them. |

nowt wrong with Stevenage's first goal. Ref was 3 yards away and looking straight at it. Luton should have had a man sent off too for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Ref was other end of the pitch (not his fault, it was a long ball) and he didn't even give a foul. If he had it would've been a red card. I'll admit their 2nd goal was offside.

So are you saying if a ref has a clear view he must have made the right decision ? Strange take
. If the ref was at the other end of the pitch for the potential SO then his linesman should surely be helping him out ? But if it was the same linesman that missed the blatant offside then i suppose that answers that question ![]() Dragon, Luton hardly looked like scoring last night against a limited Stevenage side which is worrying. Not sure why Wells was on the bench (annoying for me as i have backed him to be top scorer this year ) but when he came on they did look a bit more lively. It's a long old season but they don't want to give up too many points early on or they will have too much to do again. Stevenage are doing better than i (and many others) expected as they lost some of their better players in the close season. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain this good start. |

Some odd results again yesterday.
Certainly no one getting a foothold on the top spots as yet. |

Huddersfield to win at Bromley is very short but they should win.
Some great games knocking about. Not sure why Stockport are favs at top of the table Sheff wed who look big at 2/1. Blackpool v Plymouth looks nailed on for goals and Luton v Bradford is a clash of two teams who are looking for promotion. Boat race Oxford v Cambridge is an interesting one and looks like a draw to me. |

I went to the Bromley game. My mate attended Blackpool away last week and said we were definitely looking better in terms of playing as a cohesive team. Today was another improvement. You can see that Huddersfield are a classy team with quality all over the pitch but we did not for one moment look outclassed today and I thought we were good for the 3 points. Met a few Huddersfield fans in the pub beforehand....a lovely bunch who were happy to chat away.
I wish them the best of luck for the season ahead. Bromley have definitely collectively tightened the screws and if we continue to play with the passion and drive we showed today we may just be alright. |

Thanks HN - Decent info that.
Only 4 games this weekend and looking at the fixtures they all could be tight contests. Stockport v Peterborough looks like goals with 17 goals in Stockports 3 home games. over 2.5 is 1.40 so not much value there. You wd expect Plymouth to beat Burton at home at 4/6. The other two are too close to call. So its no bets in this league for me this weekend |

By:
Burton beat Plymouth, Stockport win 1-0. both odds on prices were losers.
the other two games were both draws helped by very late goals. only 3 games next weekend - madness. 4 points separate the top 10, looks like its going to be a close run league if the current form continues. |

only 3 games this weekend and Reading v Bradford looks the pick of them.
This is the team with the best Home record v the team with the best away record. Reading are 11/8 and Bradford are 9/4 on the exchanges with the draw at 5/2. Bradford have the best form with 3 wins on the bounce including 0-1 away wins at Luton and Notts Co. Reading have won all 3 home games scoring a massive 13 goals. Too hard to call in my book but probably a draw looking the most likely outcome with Bradford only conceding 2 goals in 4 away games. Burton are proving to be the surprise package of the league winning away at Plymouth last weekend and only losing 2 in 8 games.They lie 7th in the league. Huddersfield have only lost once this season but have only won 2 in the last six. Burton look big at 3/1 and Huddersfield look short at 10/11. The draw is 5/2. Again another tough one to call and maybe another draw is the likely outcome. Final game is Orient v Plymouth and again another tough one to call. Perhaps Plymouth who have won 4/6 can get back to winning ways after their home defeat to Burton. Orient are poor at home with 3 losses in 4 games. Plymouth are short enough at evens but maybe they are good enough to win this one. Small bet on away win at Evens. Any thoughts? |

Warning on Bradford - we've been messed up by the manager leaving us mid-season like this. He had been so central to everything last couple of years.
I think we may be wobbly against Reading for sure. |
