I'd take the 3/1 at Totesport Archaeus and take advantage of them giving you £25 free to

If Carl Cort has scored in 6 of his 11 matches this season and been 1st goalscorer in 5 then 5,20 to be 1st goalscorer tonight has to be worth sixpence, surely?

3,00 to score anytime.

I managed to get on at 8/1 as it has been cut down to 7/1.

Burnley have a very capable side on paper but they haven't picked up the points I thought they would. A good 3-0 win over Ipswich midweek might give them a little boost.

Wolves are no doubt the better side but I thought 8/1 was a bit insulting to Burnley when there isnt that much of a gulf in class. I think there around a 5/1 shot so Ive had 1pt@8/1.

Wolves vs Burnley 1pt@8/1

I'm backing Wolves, but only because you bet in-running, so I can trade if they do something silly.

I just worry with Wolves - they promise so much - but they are one of those sides - who bottle matches they ought to win.

so... 3pts on Wolves

and ready in-running to jump on the draw....

[brimson]

I'm also interested in friday night matches in general - they seem really fvcked as far as form goes.

[Quandram]

I've gone Wolves 2pts Half & Full -

Good record of scoring early and I think they should have more than enough for Burnley (though i thought that about my Tractor boys midweek and that didn't exactly pan out!)

[kompressaur]

Good luck to you Quandram and welcome to The Daily Punt.

[Quandram]

Cheers Komp and knackers Burnley 1 up

[brimson]

seems like we are all about to get fvcked.

WATFORD v LEEDS

....now first up I looked at this & decided I fancied Leeds & started looking through for some decent reasoning, but I found it difficult tbh. This from the bbc

Watford will be without Clarke Carlisle under the terms of his summer move from Elland Road but fellow Leeds old boy Matthew Spring is allowed to play.
Malky Mackay should return in central defence after his ban and Gavin Mahon, a substitute in the last two matches, could return in central midfield.

Leeds striker Richard Cresswell is expected to be fit despite coming off with a thigh injury against Derby.

David Healy will be available after completing a three-match suspension.

....now just looking @ Watford for a moment: they were in decent form coming into the last 3 games, & a few around here were on them......then they played Sheff Utd.
Watford scorched into a 2 goal lead, but in a mad 10 minute spell they conceded 2 & Malky Mackay was needlessly sent off for kicking out, & they went on to lose the game 3-2. Mackay was suspended for 3 games, in which Watford drew away with bottom placed Crewe 0-0 & lost at Coventry 3-1, where in the first half they were attrocious & were 3-0 @ HT. In the 2nd half they improved greatly & scored, but against that who is to say Coventry didnt relax. The other game was a League Cup win v Wolves.
Obviously Mackay is a big player for them, & their record with him playing this season is: played 6, won 4, drawn 1 (Reading @ H 0-0) lost 1 (Sheff Utd)
record without: played 5, won 1, drawn 2, lost 2.
Watford have not lost with Mackay on the pitch this season, although there is nothing to say that Sheff Utd wouldnt have gone on to win @ 2-2 without his sending off.
Clarke Carlisle is an ever present this season & will be missed against Leeds & this is the only reason why I'm wondering about backing Watford here. Gavin Mahon started the season & they were unbeaten in the 3 games he played before his return in the last 2 as sub.

Leeds won this fixture 2-1 last season & Watford havent beaten Leeds since 1992/3.
Watfords last 6 @ home. won 4, drawn 1, lost 1
Leeds last 6 away. won 3, drawn 1, lost 2


I'm still umming & ahhing on this but I'm tempted with Watford here @ 6/5, but the draw may sway me in the end, as I might come round to this being the wrong opposition to get back on Watford with

I vow never to bet on friday games.

Ever again.
