Been having a study up, I always lay out a couple of hundred pre season, used to be more but not had any returns last few seasons, was doing OK before that Here goes, all bets placed with bet356
League 2...Bristol Rovers 9/1 outright, 3/1 top 3
Local lads here in Somerset really keen for the upcoming season for the Gas...finished last season really well after Steve Evans took over, held on (so far) to key players , and recruited well. Salford with their backing are favs and obvious dangers. Half my stakes gone on Rovers
Other bets to smaller stakes and multiples
National League Premier...Boreham Wood 6/1 outright, plus their striker Matt Rush top division scorer 4/1 They've just turned down 1 million for another of their strikers! Obviously hope he stays
Championship and League 1, both got shorties in West Ham and Leicester City respectively but looking for value each way... Middlesbrough 10/1 Plymouth 12/1
And to continue the South West biased theme... National League South, surely Torquay at 5/2 will make it this year And in the Championship again, Bristol City have spent money and 11/4 for top 8 looks a steal
Opinions and other lower League picks please And good luck all
Like Boro each way in the Champ around 11/1, West Ham obviously be tough to beat, kept a couple of the stars and seem to be adding firepower but I like how Boro have spent the Rogers and Hackney money and think Hellberg is a good coach and will have them up there again, quite a few question marks over a lot towards the top of the market and think the new SCR rules have hamstrung a lot of the sides so Boro getting 40 odd million in can be a big advantage
Can't really call it at the top end L1 but think Stevenage relegation 4/1 OK enough have lost a lot of the nucleus from last season and don't have the budget to turn it round if they start slow
Salford be hard to beat L2 I know they've been smashed in but think 11/2 still alright for them, won't be afraid to spend again in Jan if they're a bit off the pace, having that depth will be key, think behind them there's a cig paper between about 10-15 sides Crewe top half 10/11 and top 7 3/1 I think OK, have signed well and a bit of stability in the squad, not sure how they can be a bigger price than a couple of the basket case clubs like Swindon

Torquay are a bit short at 5/2 for NLS Reg - i've had to put a few shekels on Maidstone at 33/1, new manager and a squad shake up but i think they are overpriced.

Gl Dragon Seems like a few of us are on The Gas for League 2...a nice result in the EFL Cup today against Peterborough from the league above will do nicely
Dixie, I agree that Torquay are short, gone 9/4 now, but can see them winning it comfortably with their resources...I can see the Stones having a good-ish season, maybe playoffs, so definitely worth a punt at 33s I see Ebbsfleet been suspended for first 3 games, got to get their finances and ownership sorted out

Chats are definitely on the way up, sorry Stringy but Naughty Nile left them at the end of last season after a whole three months
Reg, Ebbsfleet are in a bit of a financial pickle and its going to be some effort to sort them out in time to carry on this season. Would be terrible if they got kicked out under such circumstances
