Re: 16th Feb Coca-Cola League Two

Dropping into League Two and Hereford look a cracking price to get the better of Chesterfield at Edgar Street.

The Bulls are absolutely flying at present and the arrival of on-loan striker Sherjill MacDonald from West Brom has given them a massive lift.

MacDonald scored twice on his debut in a 4-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge last Saturday and in midweek fired in a first-half hat-trick as the Bulls cruised to a comfortable 4-2 win at in-form Rochdale.

Prior to his arrival, Hereford had claimed a massive 1-0 win at fellow title rivals Rotherham and at even money against a Chesterfield side who are slipping out of the promotion race, it would almost be rude not to be involved!

Plenty of people will point to the fact that Chesterfield have won eight away from home this season, but their form has dipped alarmingly over the last couple of months and they have managed to win just two of their 10 league games in 2008.

That run of results has seen them drop down to ninth in the table and while they will pointto a 4-0 hammering of Hereford a few weeks ago, Hereford's form has improved dramatically since then, and with MacDonald terrorizing defences at this level, don't be surprised to see him on the scoresheet again in what could turn out to be the best even-money shot of the weekend.

It is almost farcical how every year Wycombe do their very best to slip out of the promotion race during the second-half of the season and the Chairboys have to be opposed when Rotherham come to town.

Sitting in sixth place just three behind the Millers this is a massive six-pointer and with the visitors not playing well themselves it certainly is not maximum bet material, but at 2/1 Mark Robins' men do look a little long with Scandi layers, Expekt.

Wycombe were pretty awful when losing 2-1 at home to 23rd-placed Mansfield last Saturday and then in midweek let a two goal lead slip at 21st-placed Bury to end up leaving Gigg Lane with a draw.

That means Paul Lambert's men have now won just one of their last four league games, which is one more than Rotherham, who have managed to pick up just one point from their last four games.

It was always going to be a tough run of games against Peterborough, Hereford, MK Dons and Stockport, and make no mistake Robins will be fuming that his side have managed to claim just a single point from their visit to the MK Dons last Saturday.

They were blitzed by three second-half goals against Stockport in midweek, and at the moment actually seem to be enjoying playing on the road more than they do at home, with the Millers having won three and drawn one of their last five away games.

Make no mistake it will be Wycombe's turn to feel the pressure of playing at home at the weekend, especially after their last two performances, and with Rotherham desperate to bounce back to winning ways, the 2-1 on offer should be snapped up.
