    But a team in their position aren't going to be consistent. They were always going to be in a relegation battle this season so you would expect them to lose more than they win.

    Guiseley v Sutton
    I think it is fairly obvious who I am tipping up here. Again I just don’t understand the prices and how bookies can make Sutton favourites. The reasons for taking them on are obviously the same on Saturday and the fact they lost 3-0 adds to the reasons. Going all the way up to Leeds on a Tuesday evening is probably the last thing they want at the moment and I am sure they just want Monday night to come. Guiseley might be in the relegation zone, but their home has been superb in recent months. Ever since they got their first win of the season when beating York 6-1 they have not been beaten at home in the league, that’s a run of 9 games which features just 3 draws. They only just kept that run going on Saturday as they equalised with the last kick of the game against Eastleigh. They played well again though and they are clearly relying on their home form to keep them up. If you can get on with Skybet then they are biggest at 7/4, but even at lesser odds they still rate fantastic value and I make them a max bet.

    Ilkeston v Coalville
    The fact Ilkeston didn’t play on Saturday and Coalville did (a 0-0 draw with Stafford) is a slight concern, but otherwise they look a solid bet at 5/6. I don’t really need to repeat myself about Ilkeston. Coalville might only be 17th in the league, but their away form has been good on the whole. Granted they have lost their last two, but Spennymoor and Stourbridge are two of the best sides in the division. Prior to that they had won 4 on the bounce on their travels and they should be more than capable of getting back to winning ways here. The 5/6 about an away seems a fair.

    Solihull v Sutton
     
    I was kicking myself for not backing Boreham Wood to beat Sutton in the FA Trophy replay on Tuesday night. Given Sutton’s away form and the fact they ended up with just 9 men on the pitch in the first game it really was an obvious bet, but for some reason I left it alone. They ended up getting stuffed and it is hard to understand why they aren’t favourites for this let alone priced up at 19/10 (various). Granted Sutton have two games in hand, but Solihull are actually 1 point above their visitors in the table. They have gone through some changes in the squad and I did think they might begin to suffer as a consequence, but that hasn’t really happened and they have been performing well. Sutton’s players will be thinking about Arsenal already and given there away form is so bad, Solihull rate a pretty strong bet at the prices.
     
     
     
    Southport v Dagenham & Redbridge
     
    Southport’s chairman can’t resist a manager change and to me it was pretty harsh to get rid of Steve Burr. Andy Preece got the job in the week and he has a very tough game to get his tenure underway. Southport’s issues are defensive at the moment and it will be a tough ask for Preece to get them sorted at the first time of asking. They didn’t play too badly against Gateshead last week, but they still lost 3-0. Dagenham meanwhile have been scoring goals for fun of late and will take plenty of confidence from the injury time winner they scored against Chester last week. They really have turned a corner over the past month and they look title contenders again. I am surprised they aren’t odds on and William Hill’s 11/10 is worth taking.

    All the troubled clubs who I have been opposing are playing teams who are very short this week so I have come up with a four-fold which pays 4.6/1 with Marathon. Dartford continued their good form when beating Whitehawk easily last Saturday and they should overcome Gosport. Speaking of Whitehawk they did eventually stop the rot with a point against Eastbourne on Tuesday, but they now face a flying Ebbsfleet and they shouldn’t have too many issues in beating them. In the Ryman Premier Merstham did finally win away from home last time, but going to an Enfield Town side who are hoping to get in the play-offs will be a much tougher task. In the Evo-Stik Northern Premier high flying Nantwich should have too much for Sutton Coldfield.

    Whitehawk v Eastbourne
    There seemed to be little change for the home side on Saturday as they lost yet again and defensive issues were to the fore once again. It is hard to see how much can have changed so they look well worth opposing again given how much money that has won us so far in the last few weeks. Eastbourne have only won 3 away matches this season, but two of those come in their last 4 away games and they have only lost to 3rd place Dartford in their last 6 games. Why they aren't clear favourites I don't know and Marathon's 1.6/1 is a big price.

    Treble
    Tonight Hungerford host Truro and it should be a home win. Truro have lost 5 of their last 6 games meanwhile Hungerford are unbeaten in their last 11 league games. Gospot's last league win was 11 games ago and although their game was off on Saturday and Hampton & Richmond played Eastbourne, I still think that Hampton should have more than enough to win. They have only lost twice in their last 10 games and Gosport another of the leagues troubled sides. Finally in the National League North 3rd place Kidderminster can cut Fylde's lead down to 6 points as they go to a Stalybridge side who have picked up just 15 points all season.The treble pays 2.8/1 with Marathon.

    Maidstone v Aldershot
    I think Maidstone are going to find it very hard to stay in the division and for the first time they have now dropped into the relegation zone. They have only picked up 2 wins in their last 10 league games with only 1 draw to go with it. They were poor again last Saturday when losing 2-0 to Solihull and they just haven't been making their 3g pitch count in the same way Sutton have. Granted Aldershot's away form is slightly worrying as they have only won 3 times, drawn 6 and lost 6, but this is just the sort of game they need to be winning if they are going to break into the top 5. They drew with an improved York side last weekend and on paper this game looks easier. I think there is just enough in the price (5/4 various) to want to get involved.
     
    Nuneaton v York
    Speaking of York they look worth a bet in the FA Trophy this weekend. Although staying up is obviously the priority, they might also take in a Wembley trip for a competition they won in 2012. As I mentioned above they have a new look side that looks pretty strong now and after beating Barrow they deserved to beat Aldershot last Saturday. If they carry on with those performances here then they should win this. Nuneaton did us a nice turn in the previous round when thumping Guiseley, but since then they have suffered two 4-0 defeats and it seems the honeymoon is over for Tommy Wright. Marathon go 33/20 about an away win and that is worth taking.
     
    Sutton v Boreham Wood
    I thought Sutton were superb against Leeds on Sunday and full deserved to win the match. It was also great to see them get such a big tie, but they have no chance of reaching Wembley in the FA Cup whereas they could easily reach the final of the FA Trophy. I have often written about their superb home form this season and the victory over Leeds backed that up. Here they host a Boreham Wood side who have not been performing well on the road. Their only win in their last 7 away games came at a struggling Torquay and a draw at Eastleigh was their only other point. I think that Leeds win will have a positive effect and I fancy them to win this. Marathon go 6/5 about a home win.
     
    Treble
    I wanted to oppose Whitehawk again this weekend. They may have got a new manager, but he will have his work cut out to sort out a side so low on confidence especially as they go to bang in form Dartford. Dartford are 3rd in the table and have won four of their last five games. There is probably scope for saying the price they are is value, but at just over 1/2 I would rather put them in a treble. Needless to say top of the table Blyth should be beating Ilkeston and so they go into the treble. The final team are Merthyr Town who are unbeaten in their last 9 matches, winning 7 of them. They go to a Dorchester side who have looked pretty poor for most of the season. The treble pays 2.4/1 with Marathon.

    I thought Sutton were superb against Leeds on Sunday and full deserved to win the match. It was also great to see them get such a big tie, but they have no chance of reaching Wembley in the FA Cup whereas they could easily reach the final of the FA Trophy. I have often written about their superb home form this season and the victory over Leeds backed that up. Here they host a Boreham Wood side who have not been performing well on the road. Their only win in their last 7 away games came at a struggling Torquay and a draw at Eastleigh was their only other point. I think that Leeds win will have a positive effect and I fancy them to win this. Marathon go 6/5 about a home win.
     
    Treble
    I wanted to oppose Whitehawk again this weekend. They may have got a new manager, but he will have his work cut out to sort out a side so low on confidence especially as they go to bang in form Dartford. Dartford are 3rd in the table and have won four of their last five games. There is probably scope for saying the price they are is value, but at just over 1/2 I would rather put them in a treble. Needless to say top of the table Blyth should be beating Ilkeston and so they go into the treble. The final team are Merthyr Town who are unbeaten in their last 9 matches, winning 7 of them. They go to a Dorchester side who have looked pretty poor for most of the season. The treble pays 2.4/1 with Marathon.

    Maidstone v Aldershot
    I think Maidstone are going to find it very hard to stay in the division and for the first time they have now dropped into the relegation zone. They have only picked up 2 wins in their last 10 league games with only 1 draw to go with it. They were poor again last Saturday when losing 2-0 to Solihull and they just haven't been making their 3g pitch count in the same way Sutton have. Granted Aldershot's away form is slightly worrying as they have only won 3 times, drawn 6 and lost 6, but this is just the sort of game they need to be winning if they are going to break into the top 5. They drew with an improved York side last weekend and on paper this game looks easier. I think there is just enough in the price (5/4 various) to want to get involved.
     
    Nuneaton v York
    Speaking of York they look worth a bet in the FA Trophy this weekend. Although staying up is obviously the priority, they might also take in a Wembley trip for a competition they won in 2012. As I mentioned above they have a new look side that looks pretty strong now and after beating Barrow they deserved to beat Aldershot last Saturday. If they carry on with those performances here then they should win this. Nuneaton did us a nice turn in the previous round when thumping Guiseley, but since then they have suffered two 4-0 defeats and it seems the honeymoon is over for Tommy Wright. Marathon go 33/20 about an away win and that is worth taking.

    Gloucester v Worcester
    A local derby between two out of form sides. Gloucester have only one once in 8 and Worcester haven’t won in 9 although they have picked up 5 draws including in their last 3 games. The problem for both sides has been scoring goals with Gloucester scoring 3 in their last 8 and Worcester 5 in the same period. Given that you might be tempted by the goalless draw, but I am actually backing the away side. All is not well in the Gloucester City camp at the moment as it was announced they would be playing their home games at Evesham next season which is a huge trip for fans. Naturally the fans aren’t happy and their mind will be on that on Saturday and you can’t help but think that the players will be affected as well. Worcester have been strong defensively in recent games and if they can manage to find the back of the net that might well be enough. The prices are just plain wrong as no way should the home side be odds on and Worcester are too big at 4/1 with Marathon.

    Whitehawk v Weston-Super-Mare
    Hopefully Whitehawk will be the gift that keeps on giving especially as Weston are a huge 11/5 with Bet365. The price makes no sense whatsoever. Weston were 4 games unbeaten until Dartford beat them 3-2 last time out, but given Dartford are in 3rd place that was still a decent effort. Also prior to that game they had won their last 3 on their travels. They look an improving side and Whitehawk are obviously anything but. Weston should be favourites so they rate the best bet of the week at 11/5.

    Gosport v Maidenhead
    I don’t really need to write too much here as it is hard to see anything but an easy Maidenhead win. With Gosport conceding goals for fun and Dave Tarpey already on 30 for the season for Maidenhead they should cover the -2 handicap which is 11/10 with Paddy Power.

    St Neots v Hitchin
    There are some poor teams in the Evo-Stik Southern Premier this season and St Neots are one of them. They have only won once in their last 10 games and 8 of those were losses. Hitchin meanwhile have won 7 of their last 8 games and sit just 3 points of the top of the table in 3rd place. You can get 5/6 with a couple of minor bookies, but 4/5 is readily available and it really should be shorter than that.

    I would be very careful over the Aldershot v York game. I'm not for a second saying Aldershot won't win, but as Gary Mills said after the Barrow win for the first time this season he felt he put out a team who could win a game of football. I certainly think as far as the stats go you have to almost ignore what York have done before because the team is so different now.
