Happy new year to all of you.
After my five fold on Saturday which I picked up £330 quid for £2 here are my tips for today.
Another five fold acca,Derby,Portsmouth,Scunthorpe,Shrewsbury,Coventry.
£5 pays around £203.

I think Ian Evatt may be injured, he always seems to be quite solid when playing against us and wins most things in the air.

They also have Nicky Eaden there, he will be able to give them plenty of info about our players (especially the youth ones like Bayliss) as well

Won't do any harm to have freshlegs out there - Chesterfield team will have knocks etc too. We'll win!

New signing Drew Talbot isn’t eligible until after the clash at the Ricoh Arena, while the match will also come too soon for the likes of Joe Anyon, Ian Evatt, Bradley Barry, Jordan Sinnott and Gozie Ugwu.

Has ducks loan come to an end?

I’m assuming he is not playing today as he put a picture on his insta stories 10 mins ago in London Hilton eating a fry up

Looking forward to it, I wonder if Nazon will even be on the bench today?

Can see Ponticelli getting some time today, not too sure about McNulty and Ponticelli though unless we massively change our approach play.

Nazon was in London last night for the new year, not great preparation for a game in Cov the next day. Doubt he'll figure at all.

Yeah have seen that since, doubt he will even be on the bench. His injury was well timed? Doubt he could have spent last night in London if he was playing today.

Chesterfield are woeful away from home and have only picked up 6 points (1 win and 3 draws) on their travels. It's the worst away record in the league.

They are also bottom of the defence tables - with 46 goals conceded overall. Away they concede at an average of 2.25 goals per game and have had a few hammerings (1-5, 1-5, 1-4) although haven't conceded more than 2 goals against the top 10 home or away, suggesting a more defensive approach against the better teams:


They do score goals away from home and have scored in 75% of their away matches but if we do go a goal down don't be too alarmed - they have been ahead on 7 occasions and conceded equalisers in 6 of those games, only hanging onto their lead against Crawley.

Despite their poor goals conceded record, they are pretty tight in the first half of games and then concede a huge amount in the 2nd half of games. 74% of their away goals are conceded in the 2nd half:


Everything indicates they will park the bus so expect a typical City performance, frustrating first half trying to break them down before exploiting the space in the 2nd. If we manage to grab an early goal, expect a very open game.

Looking forward to the match after Carlisle game. Port Vale was shocking day out but enjoyed Saturday.
2-0 to City and gate of 8,100.
Just leaving Bawtry and it's a Skyblue day so hope the same in Cov
PUSB and happy new year to all.

If there was ever a game to trounce a team and start the new year with intention to push on in the league it's this one, we lose this mr should be really looking at players who haven't performed and offload them were too inconstant!

Or change your name to Merchant of Doom.

Worst record in the league = Probable victory for them today.

More often than not injury ravaged teams play their youth and players no one knows about and get a result - smells bad this type of fixture - will be be very wet underfoot expect the ref and cards to play a big part - witness Arsene Wengers meltdown yesterday !

Should be a comfortable home win, but we've been here before and so inevitably this will be close with mistakes or an out of the blue moment of skill determining the result. Suddenly McNulty is a star and Nazon is yesterday's man. Good luck to anyone who has money on this. New Year's Day, not much else to do, but we are down to the hardcore now. 6,500 - 7,000. 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 0-1, 2-1, 2-2, 1-2.

What with? You having no interest in football posting as many links to the telegraph? Certainly a pattern.

I'm hanging today but I will be there to witness a sparkling display of attacking football and a 3-0 win. I think I might still be pissed.

1 Change, my guess is Biamou in for Beavon.

Only other one is possibly Willis for Hyam?

I just can't see how Willis will feature.

Would be a massive surprise.

looks like he is in!

Biamou for Beavon


Hopefully we dont waste a sub early on again if Willis isn't 100% there.
