Now i know quite a bit about the two sides and i backed Hull on the handicap pre season as i believed they were building up a good side, Hopefully they can keep it up. They did lose at the weekend against Crawley but they were playing a 2nd side as they want to concentrate on promotion, Barmby has done a very good job here and the players seem to want to play for him which is good news. There home form this season in the league is played 13 won 8 and lost 5 they havnt drawn 1 at all yet. the 5 they have lost they have lost 3 of those by 1-0 scorelines another 3-2 and last 1 was a 2-0 defeat to West Ham. There last 5 games though in the league at home they have won 4 keeping 2 clean sheets.
Doncaster what can i say about them apart from they are awful they have had times in the season when they have picked up a couple of good wins but then go of the boil. There 2nd bottom and will be going down this season, they have just sold Billy Sharp there main striker to Southampton as they cant keep there big players. Away from home in the league they have won only 2 out of 14 losing the other 12! In there last 5 awya they have been losing in 4 of those at HT and at FT so with that i get my bet

Hull HT/FT £20 @ 2.37

This is a instinct bet for me i cant call a winner in this game but i know both teams will score! So im going with overs as i believe someone will win, Leeds are a mix and match side and you never know what team will turn up both teams have scored in there last 4 league games and 3 of those have gone overs. At home 3 of there last 5 games have gone over 2.5 and both teams have scored in 8 of there 13 league games this season.
Birmingham have started scoring goals again with 4-0, 3-0 and 6-0 wins coming within there last 5 games. They only have 2 out of 5 away games which have gone overs but 8 of there 13 away league games have at least finished over 2.5.,
As i said more of a instinct bet here as i believe both teams will score and a team will win but not sure who

Over 2.5 Goals £20 @ 2.05

I have Leicester at home , was very impressed with them on TV last week , so comfortable when they went ahead which is the sign of a confident bunch, Boro on a bad run is enough to tempt me to take evens

Just an observation from the Barnsley vs Derby match.

The first half, Barnsley were absolutely rampant, and played some of the football that we've been treated to a few times this season. When we play like that, I'm confident we can beat just about anyone (or at least give them a great game). However, this tends to happen all too infrequently. The second half against Derby was poor. It seemed Keith Hill was happy enough to allow his side to sit back and let Derby have some posession, and it proved an OK-ish strategy for the most part but we made hard work of what should've been an easy victory. Derby pulled one back after 70 minutes and this gave them even more of a lift. The result never really looked in doubt, but Derby added a second in the 94th minute to further reduced the scoreline, so 3-2 it ended to the Reds.

The first half performance shows that on our day, we can beat and outplay anyone. The result at Leicester showed this. Keith Hill has brought in some new players in the transfer window. Michael Tonge, Korey Smith, Stephen Dawson and Scott Golbourne - the latter two I know little to nothing about, but it seems Keith only aligns himself with hardworking individuals.

Watford away on Saturday, and once again it's truly impossible to predict the outcome.
