It's not a game I'm getting involved in Stevie, I want them both to lose.

November was a decent month profit wise and December (as long as the weather plays ball) is obviously a very busy month so fingers crossed the decent form can continue. I have 3 FA Cup bets for Sunday and they are all on that thread. I have 5 bets in the 3 National League's for Saturday.
AFC Fylde v Sutton
It was good to finally be on the right side of a bet on Fylde away from home as they had a pretty comfortable time of things in beating now mangerless Hartlepool on Tuesday night. At home they have won 8, drawn 1 and lost just twice and they were to Salford and Leyton Orient. The draw was against Harrogate so we are talking about them only dropping points to the top teams in the division and although Sutton have only lost 4 times they haven't been reaching the levels they did last season. Their last 3 league performances haven't been great although they did come from 2 down to draw 2-2 at Braintree on Tuesday night, but then Braintree are bottom. They lost to Slough on penalties in the FA Cup and Fylde look a cut above to me especially given how strong they are at home. I think they should be odds on so am happy to get involved at 11/10.
Hartlepool v Dagenham & Redbridge
I'm not sure Hartlepool have got either managerial appointments right since they dropped out of the Football League. Fair play to Matthew Bates for keeping them in the division last season especially in very tricky circumstances, but after a solid start things have gone downhill fast and they have lost 6 league games on the bounce. Not surprisingly he got the sack on Wednesday and the club need to get the next appointment right so they can at least give themselves a solid base for next season. In the very short term I am not sure things are going to get any better on Saturday and Dagenham look a hell of a bet at 7/2 to pick up another 3 points. Since the takeover Peter Taylor has been able to spend money and the team has been improving. They have won 5 out of their last 6 games and the only loss was a 1-0 defeat to Sutton. They have only conceded 4 times in their last 6 games and they have been a lot more solid at the back as well as being clinical at the other end of the pitch. These two sides should be much closer to each other in the betting.
Nuneaton v Blyth Spartans
Like Hartlepool Nuneaton are also without a manager at the moment and I think things are going to take some time before the new owner has any effect on the playing side of things. The three draws they got in their last 8 league games were decent efforts, but they lost their other 5 games and 4 of those were by at least 2 goals. Blyth didn't have a great start to the season, but they have shown a big improvement in recent weeks, bar a couple of bad defeats. In their last 8 league games they were their only two losses and they won 5 of those games including against an in form Stockport on Tuesday night. They only picked up 1 point in their first 6 away games, but have picked up 7 in their other 3 which is more proof of their improvement. They should be favourites to win this so the 2/1 is a cracking bet in my view.
Spennymoor v Kidderminster
Spennymoor did us a good turn last week and after a tricky start they really put Halesowen to the sword to beat them 8-2. Now this game will obviously be harder, but Kidderminster's form has really gone downhill in recent weeks. They have only won one of their last 6 league games and York beat them 3-1 in the FA Trophy last week. To be fair their away form has been better than their home form and they have only lost once on their travels, but they drew against Nuneaton in their last away game and I think Spennymoor are looking much the better side at the moment, thus they look a fair bet.
Truro v St Albans
The other team in the double last week were Truro and I am also sticking with them this week back in league action. As I mentioned last week they have been an improved side of late and they are unbeaten in their last 5 league games. They look a decent bet here as I think they should be favourites. St Albans games have been very exciting as their league games have seen 64 goals already, yet strangely their last league game saw them draw 0-0 against Gloucester. That was their first point in 4 games though and it was a poor game. Since then they have been beaten in a replay by Weymouth in the FA Trophy and they look out of sorts at the moment. With a long trip to Torquay ahead of them I think this could be another game they end up with nothing.

Acca landed and Forest move above Sheffield Utd 

If anyone's thinking of backing Hibs today I'd advise a bit of caution, we've been poor lately and Kilmarnock isn't the easiest place to go at the best of times, it's not a game I'm getting involved in.

Pretty much agree with all of this Stevie, I was going to tip St Mirren myself this week, you beat me to it 

St Mirren vs Hamilton
OK, so it's a bit quiet around these parts this weekend with the FA Cup severely hampering the action in this section but let's try and liven things up slightly by covering the SPL relegation battlers game between St Mirren and Hamilton that kicks off at 3pm on Saturday from the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
St Mirren are hovering dangerously above the relegation zone in the SPL. Oran Kearney grabbed his first win as St Mirren boss last weekend in a 2-0 victory against Hearts. Kearney also moved to bring in the experienced Northern Ireland coach Jimmy Nicholl in a bid to improve the coaching quality at the club. The club is currently in 11th place and just 3 points off the bottom.
Things are not going much better at Hamilton. Martin Canning's team are just one place above their opponents in this game in 10th place with just 2 points more. A 3-0 loss to Celtic last weekend made it back-to-back defeats in the SPL with Academicals now losing 6 of their last 8 league matches, conceding 10 goals in their last 4 games and only scoring 1 goal in those 4 matches.
It certainly feels here that St Mirren are a team that could potentially hit a run of form if they win here. Victory would make it three matches undefeated for a team gaining confidence and self-belief. Hamilton feel like a team that are slowly creeping ever closer to the relegation spots. I'm backing a home win even though Hamilton have won 5 of the past 6 meetings between the clubs. This time just feels like momentum is with the home side.

Backed Forest to win with a little saver on the draw, small profit in the end. What a game!!

Villa looking hot to handle at the moment and will be on a major high after their derby win...as a Forest fan I would be very happy with a draw, and I suspect that's what our manager will play for!

Has to be Norwich tonight, on a superb run, slightly odds against at the moment but could well be odds on by kick off. The price on Forest catches the eye tomorrow night, kinda high.

You're a braver man than me Stevie, I can't put money on this Scotland team, not with McLeish in charge.

Can't argue with any of that Stevie, If I was a neutral I'd be very tempted to back Albania for the win.

At the odds available, I'd be leaning towards Kilmarnock here, Hearts are f###in s##t, but I'm not exactly neutral.

Much worse than that Stevie, my granny was a Geordie!

Lost in translation, English isn't his mother tongue. He means 11 goals conceded in 11 games 

Dumbarton v East Fife
The odds on the away win are too high here. East Fife should be winning this against a poor Dumbarton.
East Fife @ 2.40
Stirling v Edinburgh City
This looks like a formality for Edinburgh who look a class above everything in this league.
There's a bit of value on the away win at 1.75, I'd have it nearer to 1.50 myself but I'm confident of an easy win here.
Edinburgh -1 @ 3.10
 

I feel a little bit dirty after cheering a Rangers goal but it rescued a poor weekend so I can live with it I suppose. Absolutely no chance I'm backing Hearts tonight though, even though they should beat Dundee comfortably.

Never in doubt 

Celtic v Hibernian
An improving Hibs side can go to Glasgow and get a result today and with the odds available you have to say the value is all on the Edinburgh team. The Celtic defence looks weak this season and with the goal threat Hibs carry, we should create enough chances to score at least once, that could be enough to ensure we come away with at least a point.
A very confident Hibs +1 @ 3.20.
S Mallan Anytime Scorer @ 5.00. Just for fun.
Hearts v Aberdeen
Aberdeen bring their ugly brand of football to Tynecastle today and you can guarantee they'll do their usual niggly fouls, disrupting, time wasting and spoiling tactics from the very first minute. With the small pitch dimensions and Hearts own overly physical, direct approach this one certainly won't be a game for the purists. The term ''this game has nil nil written all over it'' was invented for games like this.
Total Match Goals Under 1.5 @ 3.00.
 
 

MK Dons (2) 2.20
Exeter (1) 2.05
Wrexham (2) 1.85
13.66 pts Treble

I was going to mention Scotland earlier in the week when the odds for the away win was 2.95, it's been decreasing all week but I still think there's a little bit of value in the current odds of around 2.50.
It's not something you hear said very often about Scotland but they were on a completely different level to Albania last month, who previously beat Israel. There's a good young crop of players come through recently who make up the nucleus of the squad and I'd like to think they'll be too strong for a really poor Israel, even away from home.
Scotland @ 2.75 ( I got on yesterday ).
 

It's slim pickings this week in terms of value, the bookies seem to have everything priced up right. I could probably make a case for Livingston, Ayr Utd, Ross County and East Fife but I'm feeling cautious today so I'll stick to what I know best.
Hibernian v Hamilton
Hibs will win this with a bit to spare, Hibs -1 @ 2.00 is my only bet of the day.
