29/03/23 cheltenham play sheffield wednesday tonight having won 3-0 away at peterborough and beaten exeter 3-1 at home. Wednesday lost 4-2 at barnsley and 1-0 at forest green on sunday in their last two games. On sunday famewo and vaulks were rested and introduced in the second half. They are likely to be starting tonight. Byers and Windass are still both missing and likely to be so the forseeable future. Wednesday showed spirit at barnsley to come back to 2-2, however the performance at forest green was lacking both method and passion. The squad lacks depth, is ageing and also lacks pace. Wednesday may bounce back but i am surprised to see cheltenham at 19/4 with coral which looks good value. bet: cheltenham 19/4 coral

i think when i put it on they were best price at 9/5. They don't offer lower odds for the early payout. What i meant was if they are 7/4 and others 2/1 i would rather take 7/4 with the early payout. Ironically it drifted out to 2/1 (i was expecting barnsley to shorten when the teams were announced). As for being on the naughty list i must put enough mug bets on not to be on that.

A little footnote to backing barnsley I did it with bet365 who pay out if a team takes a 2 goal lead but they don't settle for about 15 mins and quote lower cash outs up to settlement. So if you have an account with bet365 and they are offering early payout it is well worth considering even if you can get better odds elsewhere. Had they not paid out early there would have been a rollercoaster of emotions with wednesday pulling back to 2-2 before conceding 2 in the last 10 minutes.

Wednesday will probably be missing byers and gregory james and windass picked up knocks on friday. Byers and Windass have been important players recently and James is accomplished. I fancy Barnsley to break our 23 game unbeaten run. I have backed them at 9/5 and fancy 2-0 at 14/1

i have also backed trossard at 16/1 top belgium goalscorer as lukaku likely to miss the group stages thorgan hazard was also considered at 25 but went with trossard

I have had an ew bet on uruguay at 50/1 betway on the basis that if they top their group they should have an easier passage. I'm against portugal on the basis that ronaldho will be a disruptive influence and more detriment than asset. Messi topgs and brazil winners at 90/1 martinez top gs and argentina at 100/1 martinez and brazil at 150/1 a few fun bets put on with bet 365 also done martinez at 25 and richarlison at 33 top goalscorer For anyone backing Argentina at short odds Messi for the golden ball may be a better option

sheffield wednesday v rotherham george byers has 2 goals in his last 3 games for wednesday. Unibet's prices are out of line- Bets: Byers to score anytime 15/1 2 points byers first goalscorer 33/1 1/2 point

Barring matches involving minnows every team batting second has won. This apparently is to do with the dew making it hard for the bowlers to grip. The toss is therefore crucial. I'm sure the bookies will be aware and adjusting the odds post toss.

i'm going to try a relegation treble again i got this wrong last year by selecting villa instead of sheffield united The four obvious candidates to me (and four shortest in the betting) are watford norwich brentford and crystal palace. Patrick Vieira was obviously a top class player but that might not translate into management. He had a spell in the USA and then for Nice, where he was sacked after a 5 game losing run. He does not come across as particularly insightful in his tv appearances and i think he will take Palace down. I'll add watford (who look the weakest) and Norwich on the basis that Brentford may just surprise people but this is probably a coin toss. Relegation Treble watford, norwich, palace 25/1 skybet

this one looks a bit optimistic @StevieDay1983 vieira a big risk, eze out til december

Time to cash out of this i think. Wednesday have signed recently; Peacock-Farrell and Lewis Wing. Also theo corbeanu from Wolves a 19 year old Canadian international. Florian Kamberi on loan from St Gallen and George Byers from Swansea. It may take a while for them to gel but i have changed my mind on relegation prospects.

The heats for the womens 100m were run yesterday morning and it looks like it is a fast track. Ta lou broke her personal best in 10.78 and was fastest but she always seems to run hard. Fraser-pryce and thompson herah ran 10.84 and 10.82 and were running within themselves. Visually Elaine thompson was most impressive of the trio but she is a more elegant runner than fraser-pryce. Asher smith ran over 11 seconds and came second after 12 staright victories this year so i wonder if she has an injury worry- (she pulled out of a meeting at gateshead with a tight hamstring). Fraser-pryce was also not wearing the latest nike spikes and was talking about running 10.5 or 10.6 in the final. I will try a straight forecast with skybet fraser-pryce gold thompson silver at 9/4

hi @harry_rag just had a quick look josh dasilva a possible buy at 3.5 for brentford kieran tierney 1.3 to buy for arsenal if playing wing back, (rather than centre back in a three) would be of interest

he's a good player also signed bailey peacock farrell not seen much of him but remember some clangers for leeds before bielsa got rid to counter that burnley fairly canny in the transfer market

I heard a story today which gives an indication of the way the club has been run. Carlos Carvahal has revealed that when he was appointed the person who had the final say was Chansiri's son Att, then aged 11 or 12.
