Eastleigh v Barrow

Eastleigh continue to look poor and some of their defending against York last weekend was shambolic. Barrow are just struggling for a bit of consistency so far in 2017 and it is no doubt frustrating for Paul Cox that two of their 3 victories so far this year have come against Lincoln and then Tranmere on Tuesday night. So given they have beaten 2 of the top 3 sides he must be wondering why they are dropping points elsewhere. Their away form does worry me slightly and they have only won two of their last 10 away matches having drawn 5 of them. However, with Eastleigh looking so bad you have to hope Barrow take Tuesday night’s performance into this game and if they do the 13/8 (various) about them getting 3 points is a fair price.

Woking v Boreham Wood

Boreham Wood are lucky they have picked up so many points earlier in the season because they have only picked up 7 in their last 10 matches and they have only won once (against Torquay) in their last 14 games. That win was away from home, but they have only picked up one more point on the road in their last 10 away games. Woking are having to rely on their home form to try and escape relegation and their only defeats in their last 9 home league games have been against Aldershot and Tranmere. Gary Hill was no doubt disappointed they lost away at North Ferriby last weekend, but they have only picked up 3 wins on the road and this looks a very winnable game for them. William Hill’s 29/20 about a home win is certainly value in my view.

Welling v Poole

Poole are in superb form at the moment as they try and cement a play-off place (although their ground needs to improved if they are to be allowed to complete in them). They have only lost once in their last ten games and that defeat was against Ebbsfleet who are in the title battle with Maidenhead. Away from home they are unbeaten in their last 6 and as their game was called off last weekend they come into this match fresh which given the heavy pitches at the moment is a big plus. Welling have struggled since Jamie Day left and they were very poor when losing to Whitehawk last Saturday. Marathon are 63/50 about an away win and that is way bigger than anyone else at the time of writing. Even at the general 11/10 I think it is a fair price.

Grantham v Ilkeston

I haven’t written about Ilkeston too much of late, but the farce off the pitch took another step-up this week as it was announced the players, who are full-time, have not been paid. They didn’t turn up to training on Thursday because they said they didn’t have enough money to pay for petrol to get there. Now that is hardly the best prep for a game especially given how bad they have been performing. Grantham are still bang in play-off contention and really should be able to at least cover the -1 handicap which is 6/5 with Stan James.

[Darran]

The reason for the one FA Trophy game is because it is the semi-finals and Lincoln v York has had to be pushed back to Tuesday night because Lincoln have another game on Saturday!

A bit late, but just wanted to mark down what I took today...over 3 in Kidderminster-Alfreton and Bath-Hemel, over 3.25 in Gainsborough-Fylde. Two of them looking good well into the first half. I swerved on the two home dogs who only became bigger home dogs when a lot of money shifted the odds two minutes before kickoff...Concord and Bradford Park.
