RedDevil92 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies North Ferriby-Hull AH-2 @1.77 4/10 ladbrokes North Ferriby are just promoted to the 6th division. Very poor team. Hull are a Premier League team now, did some good signings. Line is definitely too low for these differences between both sides. Maybe the bookies are thinking that Hull play a porr or mixed side, with them having also another match with Winterton today. But they have a tradition with playing these two fixtures. They normally sent their youth/reserves to Winterton while turning up with their best side at North Ferriby. Line is too low, would be fair if North Ferriby were a 4th tier team.

Shipsupstreets Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Decent night with Gosport landing at Totton at a fancy enough price, though it needed a late disallowed goal for Totton to preserve the 2-1 lead. Quite a difference between the sides, though - Gosport fielded two trialists, one who played league football and one who played in the Conference South last season; Totton had half-a-dozen trialists from the Wessex League.

Shipsupstreets Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies A little slippage in the price about Chester against Mansfield Town tonight, and they are in to a best of 2/1 (widespread). Mansfield's main event his week is the home game with Peterborough tomorrow, and Paul Cox has already indicated he'll be using tonight as a chance to see some more trialists. Potentially, the price about Chester is a little generous, although I wouldn't want to be chasing it down much further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipsupstreets Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Nothing from the Chester play.

Shipsupstreets Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies The HT/FT on Lewes tonight at 15/8 with Bet365 is of some interest. They are looking much stronger this season, with a host of good signings, including Ade Olorunda, and a better management team in place. Assistant manager Danny Bloor came in from tonight's opponents Eastbourne Town last month, bringing a couple of useful bodies with him. The new management at Eastbourne is Kevin Laundon as team manager and Ady Colwell in a kind of director of football role. They've brought in the lively Liam Baitup, who has been prolific at Ryman 1 level before, but the squad is heavy with trialists at the moment and their first performance will potentially be quite rusty. Lewes look much further along the road in terms of preparation and the starting XI looks strong, though they will have plenty of in-game changes too.

garyfinny Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Ships, can I have your opinion on Tamworth? They are playing Orient tonight - and the Orient team will be strong, I feel. Had two friendlies already - both times switching line-ups at half-time but generally one half featuring a full first-team, even the weaker side featuring a good smattering of pros. There are no injury worries at all, I don't think anyone has played much more than 45 mins so far and Slade will probably look to step it up with no game planned for Saturday. Pre-season results have been good - 7-0 against a Chelmsford side full of trialists and 4-1 against Welling (was 4-0 at HT; first-choice team in first half). I am tempted to think Welling may be of a similar standard to Tamworth although they did do OK in a 4-0 defeat to a West Brom XI that were very strong. If O's first-team starts the match I reckon a HT/FT bet could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If O's first-team starts the match I reckon a HT/FT bet could be good. Tamworth are a relegation favourites for many, though I reckon they'll go a bit better than Welling this season. Even so, a best of 7/5 on the O's HT/FT with PaddyPower should be a decent play, though personally I wouldn't go lower. Chelmsford's best team started against Orient, and they held their own to HT (0-0). It's when the triallists came on that the goals went in, so it might be worth waiting to find out the Tamworth starting XI and if it is heavy with new players.

Shipsupstreets Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Lewes failed tonight. They got the HT bit in, but conceded twice in a minute in the second half for a draw. Dominant showing from them, though - a very different proposition to last season.

garyfinny Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Got caught with my pants down on the Orient result - the bench was extremely weak, only 5 subs and of these most were from the youth team. Still it was 1-0 for most of the game and Kevin Lisbie of all people missed a penalty to make it 2-0. Then the subs came on and the equaliser came in after 85 mins. Onto tonight's game and I'm looking at Swansea (1.6). They have a tour in the West and take on Yeovil and Exeter. More importantly, they have taken a full squad minus Bony but it looks very strong. Yeovil appear to me to have some issues at the back. They went to Portugal for pre-season but did not sign any of the trialists so far leaving them short on numbers. They lost 2-0 at Torquay in the last game. Have they improved that much from last season? Their side is much the same and the loanees they have got are highly speculative. Swansea are a decent Premiership side and I would have said the difference in ability is more than the division it is on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindonfan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Good info there. 13/8 still seems pretty short though in my opinion. I would imagine colchester have a first team squad of at least 20 so can still put out a side that is better than Braintree. problem with betting on these games is Bet365 run a 112% book so it is difficult to get value when you are starting from 12% behind. and betfair has almost zero liquidity for these games.

Jase82 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Weirdly enough I can't seem to find any info on Braintree V Colchester. The unders looks appealing to Mr though @ 2.30. Braintree played out a goalless draw with us midweek, prior to that they only beat Southend 2-1 in a tight contest. This is purely their football versus league opposition mind you, but as Colchester played a full strength friendly only last night I'd expect a mix of fringe players today. So I can see them putting up a strong test for Colchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipsupstreets Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Re: Pre-season friendlies Farsley look a decent play at Evs away at Thackley (Bet365, Bwin). Neither side has been particularly spritely in pre-season but the Farsley look decent this season with the likes of Aiden Savory and Lee Ellington joining in the summer. I expect them to be top five in the Northern 1 North. Thackley are an unspectacular Northern Counties East side who lost to Tyersal of the West Riding Amateur League.
