    Hemel Hempstead v Bath City Bath could only name 3 outfield subs on Monday and whilst they did manage to win they haven't been creating that many chances so far this season. Hemel were one of the ante-post bets and they have had a solid start and have been creating plenty of good chances, averaging an xG of 1.9 so far this term. They haven't scored as many goals as they maybe should have done, but if they continue to create good chances then they will score. Don't think there is a huge amount in the price, but enough for me to get involved.   Truro v Chelmsford Incredible performance by Truro on Monday to win 5-0 against Worthing and again it highlighted how good they have looked so far this season. They host a Chelmsford side who are yet to win so far this season and year in year out they seem to be bad travellers. Only 4 of their games are on WyScout, but in 3 of those they have had 18 shots and have an xG averaging 2.27. I think it is right they are odds on to win again.   Eastbourne v Dorking Whilst we were unlucky to get a winner with Oldham, we did have some fortune with Eastbourne winning as they didn't create much and the goal was a wonder strike via a free kick. Both sides are suffering with injuries, but with Eastbourne being one of my ante-post picks I still think they have it in them to beat Dorking and certainly look over-priced to do so. Both teams have 10 points and I don't think there is a huge amount between the sides so hopefully it can be a home win.   Welling v Chesham Bizarre how Welling can go from beating Farnborough 4-1 on Saturday to drawing 0-0 with Hornchurch on Monday and only having 4 shots for an xG of 0.07. Anyway they have won both of their home games so far and back at home I think they will have too much for a Chesham side who still look like they are getting used to the higher level.   Oxford City v Chorley The home side are yet to win so far and I think that could continue here. They conceded 4 in both games over the weekend and only had 2 shots against Kidderminster on Monday. Chorley scored 4 against Southport on Monday and are the only team so far that Scunthorpe have dropped points to. They should be clear favourites for this.   Sutton v Forest Green I am adding one more bet in the late kick-off after the signings FGR made yesterday afternoon. They signed Quigley from Chesterfield who had a great season last term and Cardwell from Southend who wouldn't have come cheaply and most expected he would go into the EFL if he was going to leave Southend. They have been nibbled at this morning and it doesn't surprise me. Sutton have had a decent enough start, but the edge is with FGR and I will be interested to see how they get on because I am tempted to add them to the ante-post portfolio.   Prices from Friday 11am apart from FGR which was Saturday 10am Hemel Hempstead 1pt @ 13/10 with Paddy Power, William Hill, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 11/10) Truro 2pts @ 19/20 with Betfred and Bet365 (Hills are Evs and take up to 4/5) Eastbourne 1pt @ 5/2 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 2/1) Welling 1pt @ 13/10 with Paddy Power and Betfair (365 are 11/8 and take up to 11/10) Chorley 1pt @ 6/4 with Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 6/5) Forest Green 1pt @ 19/10 with pretty much everyone (2/1 with Hills and take up to 6/4)

    I saw Blur at Wembley last year and it was incredible and just about beats them from Glasto 09 for my favourite ever gig and I've been to a lot. Seeing them at Wembley was a special experience.

    Braintree v Ebbsfleet Ebbsfleet have pretty much stunk the place out so far this season and they were especially bad on Saturday losing 3-0 to a Woking side who have not been very good themselves so far this season. Ebbsfleet basically gifted Woking the goals as well and unless they suddenly find some improvement then Braintree really ought to be winning this. It's only a point because there isn't that much in the 5/4 quote, but the exchange price is huge and if the drift continues I will be having more on.   Forest Green v Altrincham Altrincham haven't been that good so far this season and have not been creating chances like they were last season. FGR have had to start with 4 away games this season and now they are at home they really ought to be capable of beating an under performing Altrincham.   Oldham v Gateshead I was amazed to see Gateshead are now 5/1 for the title. As much as they weren't far away from being a bet ante-post, that price is awful. Obviously they looked good on the opening day, but then Ebbsfleet have proven themselves to be very poor so far. The Woking game was a strange one for obvious reasons and then they drew with Halifax. I watched the 1st half against Yeovil on Saturday and they really were fortunate to be in front as Yeovil more than held their own and gifted the hosts their goals. The 3rd goal was a late penalty. I didn't see a side who looked like they should be 5/1 for the title and it has to be remembered that they have lost 2 key players to long term injuries already. Now I haven't been that positive about Oldham and clearly they were shocking on Saturday, but I just can't have them being over 2/1 to beat Gateshead at home. I'd have these prices if it was the reverse fixture so whilst Gateshead might get something from the game the clear value is the home win.   Maidstone v Weston-Super-Mare I'm not a huge fan of opposing ante-post selections so early on in the season, but Maidstone have not been good so far this season and Weston are looking pretty good so at the prices I am happy to back them to win this.   Truro v Worthing Not sure why Truro are so big for this because I think they have looked better than Worthing so far this season. Worthing aren't really looking like they will repeat last year's successful season so the home side look big.   Weymouth v Eastbourne Like Ebbsfleet, Weymouth have looked awful as well so far this season. Eastbourne have had a very solid start which backs up my ante-post thoughts on them. If they are to get anywhere near the title this is the sort of game they have to be winning and I think they are a huge price to do so.   Chester v Scarborough Like Maidstone, Chester have not been good either. They created very little on Saturday despite getting a 2-2 draw and with Scarborough having had a better than expected start I am going to take a chance on them at a huge price to pick up a win against an under-performing home side.   Redditch v Stourbridge To be fair Redditch have had a good start which slightly surprises me given Tim Flowers is boss, but Stourbridge as we know are looking very good so far this season and no way should they be 2/1 shots to win this.   Prices from 9.30 last night   Braintree 1pt @ 5/4 with Betfred, Paddy Power and Betfair  Forest Green 2pts @ 11/10 with Betfred and Bet365 (take up to 10/11) Oldham 1pt @ 2/1 with Bet365, Skybet, William Hill and Betfred (take up to 6/4) Weston 1pt @ 16/5 with Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (Hills are 100/30 and take up to 9/4) Truro 1pt @ 11/5 with Skybet, William Hill and BetVictor (take up to 6/4) Eastbourne 2pts @ 6/4 with everyone (take up to 11/10) Scarborough 1pt @ 5/2 with William Hill (13/5 with Paddys and Betfair and take up to 2/1) Stourbridge 1pt @ 2/1 with Betfred (take up to 6/4)

    Braintree v Ebbsfleet Ebbsfleet have pretty much stunk the place out so far this season and they were especially bad on Saturday losing 3-0 to a Woking side who have not been very good themselves so far this season. Ebbsfleet basically gifted Woking the goals as well and unless they suddenly find some improvement then Braintree really ought to be winning this. It's only a point because there isn't that much in the 5/4 quote, but the exchange price is huge and if the drift continues I will be having more on.   Forest Green v Altrincham Altrincham haven't been that good so far this season and have not been creating chances like they were last season. FGR have had to start with 4 away games this season and now they are at home they really ought to be capable of beating an under performing Altrincham.   Oldham v Gateshead I was amazed to see Gateshead are now 5/1 for the title. As much as they weren't far away from being a bet ante-post, that price is awful. Obviously they looked good on the opening day, but then Ebbsfleet have proven themselves to be very poor so far. The Woking game was a strange one for obvious reasons and then they drew with Halifax. I watched the 1st half against Yeovil on Saturday and they really were fortunate to be in front as Yeovil more than held their own and gifted the hosts their goals. The 3rd goal was a late penalty. I didn't see a side who looked like they should be 5/1 for the title and it has to be remembered that they have lost 2 key players to long term injuries already. Now I haven't been that positive about Oldham and clearly they were shocking on Saturday, but I just can't have them being over 2/1 to beat Gateshead at home. I'd have these prices if it was the reverse fixture so whilst Gateshead might get something from the game the clear value is the home win.   Maidstone v Weston-Super-Mare I'm not a huge fan of opposing ante-post selections so early on in the season, but Maidstone have not been good so far this season and Weston are looking pretty good so at the prices I am happy to back them to win this.   Truro v Worthing Not sure why Truro are so big for this because I think they have looked better than Worthing so far this season. Worthing aren't really looking like they will repeat last year's successful season so the home side look big.   Weymouth v Eastbourne Like Ebbsfleet, Weymouth have looked awful as well so far this season. Eastbourne have had a very solid start which backs up my ante-post thoughts on them. If they are to get anywhere near the title this is the sort of game they have to be winning and I think they are a huge price to do so.   Chester v Scarborough Like Maidstone, Chester have not been good either. They created very little on Saturday despite getting a 2-2 draw and with Scarborough having had a better than expected start I am going to take a chance on them at a huge price to pick up a win against an under-performing home side.   Redditch v Stourbridge To be fair Redditch have had a good start which slightly surprises me given Tim Flowers is boss, but Stourbridge as we know are looking very good so far this season and no way should they be 2/1 shots to win this.   Prices from 9.30 last night   Braintree 1pt @ 5/4 with Betfred, Paddy Power and Betfair  Forest Green 2pts @ 11/10 with Betfred and Bet365 (take up to 10/11) Oldham 1pt @ 2/1 with Bet365, Skybet, William Hill and Betfred (take up to 6/4) Weston 1pt @ 16/5 with Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (Hills are 100/30 and take up to 9/4) Truro 1pt @ 11/5 with Skybet, William Hill and BetVictor (take up to 6/4) Eastbourne 2pts @ 6/4 with everyone (take up to 11/10) Scarborough 1pt @ 5/2 with William Hill (13/5 with Paddys and Betfair and take up to 2/1) Stourbridge 1pt @ 2/1 with Betfred (take up to 6/4)

    Altrincham v Eastleigh Eastleigh are the only team to have won all 3 games so far after winning for us on Tuesday night. I thought they looked fairly comfortable as well against Solihull, so whilst going 4/4 is going to be tough, they are too big a price to do so against an Altrincham side who haven't got near the heights of last season yet. They won for us against Woking which was deserved, but Woking as we know are poor. They were really put in their place at Sutton last Saturday though and whilst they bounced back to win on Tuesday it was only against Maidenhead who have lost every game so far. Eastleigh are playing the better for me and the price is way too big.   Rochdale v Forest Green Having scored 7 goals in their first 2 games I was surprised to see FGR create very little against Barnet on Tuesday night. They only had 3 shots in the game and whilst Barnet are clearly a better team than Aldershot and Boston I would have still expected more. In hindsight odds against on them to win last week at Boston was an absolute gift, but you always have to hold a bit of caution in the opening games of the season. This will be tougher, but I think they are a better side than their hosts. Rochdale created little themselves against York on Tuesday and only had 1 shot on target. For me they are being overrated but the bookies so far this season and that means FGR are value to get the 3 points.   Brackley v Curzon Ashton Brackley have not done a great deal so far this season. I know they won at Chester last Saturday, but it was a poor game which neither deserved to win although Chester did create more chances with Brackley only having 3 shots. Granted they have had a tough start to the season having played Scunthorpe and Kidderminster as well, but here they host one of the other teams to have won all 3 games so far this season. I accept this is probably a step up in quality of opponent for them having beaten Needham, South Shields and Oxford, but they are doing well and for me offer a bit of value.   Bishops Stortford v Stamford The 3rd team I hope can make it 4/4 on Saturday is Stamford. I took them on last week and whilst it was only a penalty that beat Stourbridge it was clearly a top effort to do so. Their hosts are favs for the title with Telford having a spluttering start, but I just don't see it myself and the away side are value to make it 12 points for the season.   Prices from Friday 11am   Eastleigh 1pt @ 5/2 with Bet365, Skybet and William Hill (take up to 2/1) Forest Green 1pt @ 9/4 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 7/4) Curzon Ashton 1pt @ 23/10 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 9/5) Stamford 1pt @ 21/10 with Betfred (take up to 7/4)

    National League North I have to say I have been very impressed with Kidderminster so far this season and I think I got them wrong pre season. I know it is very early stages, but I have not really been that happy with any of the 4 picks so far so want Kiddie on side. I know Scunthorpe are unbeaten so far as well, but I would favour Kiddie over them so whilst if they won it wouldn't give us a profit on the division I want to add them now as I think they will only get shorter.    Kidderminster 1pt @ 9/2 with Bet365 and William Hill

I know Scunthorpe are unbeaten so far as well, but I would favour Kiddie over them so whilst if they won it wouldn't give us a profit on the division I want to add them now as I think they will only get shorter.    Kidderminster 1pt @ 9/2 with Bet365 and William Hill

    Boston v Forest Green Rovers Rochdale were on my shortlist last league and they had a very easy time of it when beating Boston 3-0. Boston looked out of their depth a bit and I think they could find it tough in the early stages of the season. I think Forest Green should be odds on to beat. They scored 3 good goals against Aldershot and whilst they also conceded 3 times, I saw enough to think they should be in play-off contention at least. Odds against looks too big.   Woking v Gateshead Some crazy opening prices on Gateshead as somehow bookies priced them up at 2/1. Woking's best chances against Altrincham came before Altrincham had a man sent off and they created very little after going a goal down. Granted Gateshead were helped from some woeful Ebbsfleet defending, but it was still an impressive performance to beat them so easily. Whilst the fancy prices are long gone I still think there is some juice in the price.   Alfreton v Kings Lynn Kings Lynn were very impressive on the opening day in their win over Warrington and it backed my ante-post thoughts that they could be in for a good season. They look too big a price here against an Alfreton side who struggled at Southport on the opening day. Granted Alfreton do tend to be hard to beat at home, but at over 2/1 it is worth taking a chance on the away side getting another 3 points.   Needham Market v Southport Speaking of Southport they are worth backing to win again on Saturday. Needham Market look set for a season of struggle and they found it tough against Curzon last Saturday. Southport are fancied to do well this season by plenty and I certainly think they have the squad to be looking at a play-off sport. They ought to be too strong for their hosts.   Oxford City v Darlington I thought Darlington did well against Kidderminster last week despite losing 2-1 and it was a fairly even game. City on the other hand scored an injury time equalizer against Marine and whilst they passed the ball around a lot (451 passes attempted against 186), there wasn't a huge amount of end product. I think Darlington are too big a price to win this as I reckon they can finish above City this season.   Aveley v Tonbridge Angels Whilst it was a wonder goal which gave Welling the win over Aveley last week, the home side certainly deserved the victory and it backs up my theory that they could be in for a struggle this season. Tonbridge had a cracking start to the season beating Weymouth 3-2 and it was a deserved win as well. On the back of that I think they are too big a price for this.   Walton and Hersham v Merthyr When I was looking last night at the games Merthyr were 7/4 to win this, but that price went at 3.30am! Still I think there is something in the price on the back of 2 good victories. Walton lost 1-0 to Totton on the opening day, but Totton played just over half the game with 10 men. They did beat Marlow 3-0 on Tuesday night, but Marlow are expected to struggle this season and Merthyr will be a very different test.   Prices from 11am Friday   Forest Green Rovers 2pts @ 6/5 with Bet365 and Betfred (take up to 10/11) Gateshead 1pt @ 5/4 with Skybet, Ladbrokes, Betfred and Coral (Hills are 13/10 and take up to 11/10) Kings Lynn 1pt @ 21/10 with Bet365, Paddy Power and Betfair (Betfred are 11/5 and take up to 7/4) Southport 2pts @ 13/10 with Bet365, Skybet, Paddy Power, William Hill and Betfair (Betfred are 11/8 and take up to Evs) Darlington 1pt @ 13/5 with Betfair, BetVictor, Betfred, Skybet and Paddy Power (Hills are 14/5 and take up to 2/1) Tonbridge 1pt @ 2/1 with everyone (Betfred are 21/10 and take up to 7/4) Merthyr 1pt @ 11/8 with Paddy Power, Betfair, Betfred and Bet365 (take up to 6/5)

    Eastleigh v Solihull Moors There has been a bit of a move for the home side and I'm not surprised as I would have them favs to win this game. They have won both games so far and I thought it was an impressive victory on Saturday over Fylde. To come from 2 down and win 4-2 took some doing and the opening Fylde goal came against the run of play. I was surprised that so many Twitter content producers had Eastleigh to go down in their 1-24 lists because any side that has Paul McCallum in it isn't going to be relegated. Solihull beat Maidenhead on Saturday, but lost to Fylde on the opening day and with those teams being the ones Eastleigh have beaten I think they have the edge. With them being at home as well it just adds to the fact I think they should be favs.   Woking v Dagenham & Redbridge Made good money so far opposing Woking and hopefully it can be the same on Tuesday night. Obviously Saturday's game was overshadowed by the horrible tackle from Kelly-Evans on Olley which left him with a broken leg, but they never looked like getting anything from the game. It also made it two games on the bounce they have ended up with 10 men. Dagenham are unbeaten so far with a win against Wealdstone and a draw against Rochdale. Now they had a lower xG than their opponents in both games and against Rochdale they only had 3 shots, the first of which was their goal in the 55th minute. That worries me slightly, but they are playing a lesser side here and one that just looks a bit lost at the moment. Hopefully Dagenham can take advantage of that.   York v Rochdale Speaking of Rochdale I am taking them on here. Clearly they were a bit unlucky to only get a point on Saturday, but this should be their first proper test as they only had Boston on the opening day. York have looked very solid so far in their 2 games against Southend and Tamworth. For me this has been priced up based on last season's form, because I just don't get how Rochdale can be favs for the game. I'd only make York slights favs given they are at home, but that means there is juice in the price and they do look a different beast from last season.   Salisbury v Truro I was pretty negative on Truro before the season started, but to their credit they have done well so far. They lost to Dorking 2-1 on the opening day, but gave a good account and then had a superb win yesterday at Maidstone. Salisbury have done well also and will be happy with 4 points from their first two games, but again I just can't see why Truro should be such a big price and they look value to pick up 3 more points.   Prices from 8pm Sunday   Eastleigh 1pt @ 19/10 with Bet365 and William Hill (take up to 6/4) Dagenham 1pt @ 21/10 with Bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill and Betfair (Betfred are 11/5 and take up to 7/4) York 1pt @ 9/5 with Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (365 are 19/10 and take up to 11/8) Truro 1pt @ 14/5 with Betfair and Paddy Power (take up to 2/1)
