THE IMPORTANCE OF ALWAYS TAKING A TOWEL WHEREVER YOU GO
Neil Warnock must have been glad his wife packed his towel last night as it proved incredibly useful but what else did we learn from last night's game. As a betting fan it is important to always learm from your night's work, here is what we learned from last night.
EVERYTHING WE LEARNED FROM WATFORD V SHEFF UNITED
1: THE IMPORTANCE OF ALWAYS HAVING ONE LATE CHECK ON TEAM NEWS: Both sides have to key strikers capable of some goals, on Watford's side King and Young on Sheff United Hulse and Webber, the moment Young was ruled instantly meant this game was going to be a huge struggle for Watford and limited the chances of goals for them.
2: BOTH THESE SIDES HAVE KEY PLAYERS OUT INJURED: This wasn't helped by last night's game, Mahorn, and Claude Davis limped out of the game and Powell joind them with a late suspension, when neither side has a strong squad they can't afford cheap late suspensions.
3: THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A MAJOR STRIKER; There's a reason Reading aren't struggling, why West Ham and Wigan didn't struggle last season, all three have out an out goalscorer.
4: THE WEAKNESS OF THE WATFORD DEFENCE: They allowed Sheff United numerous chances last night and a better side with better strikers would have buried them, bare this in mind when considering under/over market, because sure Watford can't score but they can also concede.
5: SHEFF UNITED RARELY GET A HAMMERING: Last night's clean sheet wasn't the first,and not the last, Warnok's men may struggle to score but they rarely ship many, they keep it as tight and disciplined as one of these dominatrixs, and that may be worth considering on the handicap, as only Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton have beaten them by more than one goal this season.
TWENTY THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST NIGHT
STOKE 3 CARDIFF 0: 1: Stoke are on an incredible run of form, they have a wealth of goal scoring talents, great confidence and Lee Hendrie is the best player in the League even if his acting needs a lot of work. Ricardo Fuller offf the bench was key, look for him to start at the weekend.
2: Cardiff are rattled: They lost another key player in Stephen McPhail, Dave Jones has lost his cool exterior and Chopra his composure in front of goal, they need to (and sorry for sounding like a tory political advisor) get back to the basics if they want to get their season back together, not to mention they must strengthen their squad in January.
PRESTON 1 COVENTRY 1
3: Preston are ones to avoid at the moment on short home win odds: That's the second game in succession they failed to win a winnable home game due to troubles upfront, two in four games, which must worry manager Paul Simpson. They may sit top but they need to convert some of their draws into wins, eight games sees them with more irritating draws than a failing artist.
4: Coventry's four points in two away games has coincided with an increase in more positive attacking formation, Dele Adebola has two in two games and the club could give Stoke a harder game than many imagine.
COLCHESTER 5 HULL 1
5: Phil Parkinson knows a good player, just a shame for him that he signed Chris Iwuelmo for Colchester and not Hull, the win was Colchester's eigth at home, more than any other home side.
6: Hull got their tactics wrong, they tried to cope without the absence of Parkin by playing 4-5-1 but lacked the strikeforce to do so.
BURNLEY 2 LEEDS 1
7: Leeds continue to frustrate with their inconsistency, that's the seventh game in a row where they haven't got back to back results. New manager same old Leeds.
8: Burnley will continue to defy the odds, worth noting that last night was their fourth over game in four.
PLYMOUTH 1 LUTON 0
9: Plymouth recorded only their third hme win, the shift to a 4-3-3 give them more attacking impetus, though both side were about as threatening as a Michael Parkinson interview.
10: Luton have seven straight losses, their worst run for a century, they battled hard, but few positive for backers and fans and Preston next. Maybe a return to old style shirts, heavy boots, and travelling to the game by bus is the way forward.
QPR 1 SUNDERLAND 2
11: An impressive first half display from Sunderland meant they ran out deserved winners, good to see the BBC finally give Kavanagh some credit, as long he's in the side Sunderland will be difficult opponents to beat, unbeaten in four now.
12: QPR Managed to lose their second straight home game, their proving highly inconsistent and difficult to back, they have won the last two away so might be difficult to oppose against struggling Palace. John Gregory meanwhile is welcome to stay in management if it means no work for him on Sky Sports News.
SHEFF WED 3 WEST BROM 1
13: Sheff Wed continue their revival that's just one defeat in eight for them now, they're playing with a lot more confidence.
Brian Laws could be there longer than most of their managers, i.e two months.
14: West Brom though seem like a side burdened down and unrelaxed, Mowbray has walked into a living nightmare, the club only have one win in their last seven, 22 million worth of players is no backup for heart something they are clearly lacking. Remember when kevin Philips was in the England side now he couldn't make my local pub team.
NORWICH 3 LEICESTER 1
15: Norwich looked much better this week, but then again could be off next week, Earnshaw will always be a goal threat though and Norwich have scored in six straight games.
16: Leicester complete a miserable November and sit third bottom of the six game form table, Rob Kelly will always have a career in media though.
BARNSLEY 2 SOUTHEND 0
17: Barnsley caretaker manager Simon Davey continued his dream start as caretaker manager as Barnsley's defence looks a lot stronger, then it couldn't have been any worse.
18: Southend have only conceded scored two in five games and one of them was against Man United while they can't hit the back of the net they will struggle in this league.
WOLVES 1 PALACE 1
19: That was Wolve's third straight one-one draw and although a little unlucky eptimoises just how middle of the road this side is.
20:The difference Ian Turner has made it at Palace, although he conceded a goal last night, a flukey deflected free kick, the on loan goalkeeper has been a huge part in the tightening of the Palace defence. Peter Taylor löives on.
