Conference Prem - Oct 5th

[Punter]

After winning 7 and drawing 2 of their first 9 games, Nuneaton's bubble seems to have burst with 3 straight losses.

The 2-1 home defeat to Salisbury came as a bit of a shock, especially as they were leading the game with just 3 minutes left. And you can almost forgive them for a 3-0 loss at leaders Cambridge but last weeks defeat at Woking was really poor..

The visitors barely threatened and Woking, who remain in the relegation zone despite their victory, were able to ease to their first home victory of the season.

Visitors Lincoln have had a decent start to the season and sit just 3pts away in 7th, a win for them here would see them leapfrog Nuneaton on goal difference. They lost two tough games at Hereford and Luton by the odd goal but then bounced back with a 3-0 win at home to the leagues bottom team, Hyde.

I got the impression a few weeks ago that Nuneaton had been punching above their weight and would not finish top 6, while at the same time feel Lincoln have been a little unlucky and stand a better chance of a top 6 spot.

I've not been in great form of late so i'm just looking for a single this week and Lincoln Draw No Bet @ 23/20 is my only bet of the weekend. I don't think they'll lose this.

Of the other games in this league I fancy FGR @ 6/5 away at Alfreton and Luton @ 4/5, home to Halifax.
A possible outsider could be Hereford getting a draw at the leaders, but that could be more in hope than anything.

Good luck Punter

I like the look of Hereford too - not enough to back them, but having seen Cambridge I doubt they're head and shoulders above most other teams. I think Cambridge should win, but they look too short, especially as radio commentary of Bulls v Shots suggested Aldershot were lucky to come away with anything, let alone a win.

I am on a draw in the 'Shots-Grimsby game (12/5, Paddy). Both sides are low scoring, and while we're decent at home I wonder if we've got enough firepower to put away a solid Grimsby side. I'm also thinking about unders, but I'm not convinved there's value.

I'm also on Welling DNB at BetVic's 21/20. Welling have only lost once at home, and that's despite five of the six sides they've played being in the top half. At home they're (apparently) big and strong and uncompromising, and this bet is on the assumption they'll be able to push Barnet out of their stride as they did with Aldershot . Slightly higher stakes than for the 'Shots game.

Cheers TC. Close but no cigar today.
