Even though its not on the list above, its not anywhere else either, so:
I'm tempted by Derby on price alone. Nearly 3/1 at home? I know they havent won in 6, but before that they'd won something like 5 on the bounce & appear to have been having runs like that all season. Leicester are only just above them & I feel the whole price is determined on the common assumption that Leicester are starting to turn the corner under Pearson, whereas only winning 2 of the last 6 might mean theyre simply 2 average sides. There'll be no love lost between the 2 either being a derby. No way can Leiicester be viewed as value at just over evens in my book. Preposterous

West Ham, Birmingham and Leeds for me.

West Ham had a great win midweek away to an inform Blackpool, I was surprised at way they won, especially after getting Green sent out off shortly after half time. They should follow up with another victory at home to Palace.

Considering how many players they have lost and the money problems off the field, Chris Hughton has done a remarkable job at Birmingham. They've added Andreas Townsend from Spurs and Husekklepp on loan from Portsmouth.

Portsmouths in turmoil at the minute and with Leeds inspired by Warnock at the helm, i'll think they will take all 3 points.

I think you could be right about Leeds mate. It's got to knock the stuffing out of a team to suddenly find that, overnight, they are deep in the eye of the relegation storm. Conversely, as you point out, Leeds attitude must have been bucked up by the arrival of the new man, albeit, some of the players will think the departure of their last manager was a little unfair (at best) and shoddily handled, having dealt with it with their customary lack of class.

I'm on Leeds, but West Ham & Birmingham are too short for me. Palace are half decent & Blues leave it too late for my liking at that price.
Blackpool & Ipswich look good bets & I'm on them as they both look for their respective double, & I'm also on Coventry to turn over a depleted struggling Barnsley

Good shout on West Ham Swooops, and Brum are also a goal down at HT
