Darran Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 A small loss on Tuesday night which would have seen a decent profit if Braintree had held on to their 2-1 lead against 10 men. The FA Cup means we only have the 3 National League's to focus on this weekend and I have 4 bets. Aldershot v Barrow This match nearly didn't make the cut, but in the end I do think Aldershot are worthy of a bet on Saturday. They haven't won at home yet, but only just lost to Fylde and Bromley and then have picked up points against Halifax and Sutton. Given the way Halifax are playing that was an especially good point. This looks a reasonable opportunity to pick up 3 points at home for the first time this season as Barrow are struggling this term especially on the road where they have only picked up a point. To be fair they have had some tough away games having gone to Wrexham, Stockport and Woking and they have only lost by 1 goal on each occasion. That nearly put me off Aldershot, but I don't think there is a great deal between these two sides and Aldershot had the Tuesday off which will have helped as well. I would have them around 11/8 so the fact they have drifted to 179/100 with Marathon makes them a bet for me. Boreham Wood v Dover I am really keen on Dover here and they look the best bet of the weekend for me. I mentioned on Bank Holiday Monday that Boreham Wood haven't won at home since January and they duly lost to Ebbsfleet albeit they did have 10 men for most of the game. They then went to Chorley and won 3-1 in the live game, but Chorley pretty much gifted them the game so I don't think it said much about them and they then went and lost at Eastleigh on Tuesday night. Dover are having a good season and they have won all 4 away games so far. They drew at home to Ebbsfleet on Tuesday but they should have won and they look potential play-off contenders this season. To me this game has been priced up if the teams are of similar ability, but I would make Dover clear favourites for this and the 17/10 with Bet365 is well worth taking in my view. Chorley v Stockport As I mentioned above and on Tuesday night, Chorley look a long way short of this level at the moment and it is hard to see them getting anything out of this game. These two sides battled it out for the National League North title last year and Chorley did beat Stockport late on although they did lose the title to them in the end. This season though the two teams look miles apart. Stockport weren't great in their opening day defeat to Maidenhead, but they have done nothing but improve since and have lost just once since. They have had two good wins against Wrexham and AFC Fylde in their last two matches and they really should be beating Chorley on everything both teams have done this season. Stockport have scored in every game bar the Maidenhead one and given how leaky Chorley's defence is they should surely by adding to their goal tally here. I would make them odds on so the 6/5 with William Hill and Betway is well worth taking. Gloucester City v Darlington I have written on here this season about my own teams superb away from in recent seasons especially under their current manager although since they beat Kidderminster they have lost their next 3 away games. I do think they are extenuating circumstances though as all those have been on a Tuesday or Bank Holiday Monday when the players have come on the back of a tough home game. Blowing a 2 goal lead at AFC Telford wasn't great on Tuesday night, but there is cause for thinking they are a big price on Saturday. Firstly their home performances have been strong this season despite the fact they have only won one. They played well with 10 and then 9 men against Hereford, drew with Altrincham, beat Boston 3-0 and then pushed York close last week when leading 2-1 at one stage. On paper this is their easiest game so far at home and Darlington come to Evesham struggling for fit and available players. They have only managed to pick up 1 point away from home so far this season and beating bottom of the table Blyth 2-1 on Wednesday night didn't say a lot. I would make Gloucester favourites for this and I really can't understand why they have drifted out to 2/1 with Bet365. Alderhshot 1pt @ 179/100 with Marathon Dover 3pts @ 17/10 with Bet365 Stockport 2.5pts @ 6/5 with William Hill and Betway Gloucester City 2pts @ 2/1 with Bet365 Resolvedtwo, chris50, tomcody and 6 others 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossa6133 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Were you tempted Stockport -1? As big as 10/3, tough to land away from home I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 It went through my mind but when you can back them at odds against to just win the game then I am happy with that. Wouldn’t put anyone off though if they do want to go for glory. yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruja Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Kidderminster looks interesting against Blyth, odds are 2.00, but i dont know if they represent value on current conditions, Blyth looks awful definitely, would love to hear more from you Darran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I did consider Kidderminster but thought the price looked about right. Was a bit of improvement from Blyth on Wednesday although I do think Kidderminster will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Been a strange drift on Stockport and they are nearly as big as 6/4 with BetVictor having been mainly even money at the start of today. Chorley backed into 15/8 from 5/2. If this is money from Asia then it is a massive mystery to me as to how they could possibly fancy Chorley. I make Stockport odds on shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartonbank Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Anyone following the bet on Wrexham this morning...you are in for a bumpy ride. 4 haven't started for us before and, of the remaining 5, only one started last time. Bench contains strating keeper and 6 kids. cluelessG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossa6133 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 My bookie definitely laughing at my -1 on Stockport! Dover nearly leveled in 52nd min, could have been different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffy Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I went to the Torquay V Harrogate game today. Torquay were by far the better side, but it took until the 2nd half for them to start putting some chances away. They went to 8.5/1 when they were 1-0 down. I'd just stuck £20 on them at 2.75 with them dominating at 0-0, and didn't want to risk another. Tenner, just in case. After all, it is Torquay United! yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossa6133 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 3 of the goals after Stead was sent off but sounds like they were the better team anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
