RUBY TUESDAY

Well we had a good night last night and I hope you did
as well, last see if we can keep it up tonight.

THOUGHTS ON ALL TODAY'S GAMES

Coca-Cola League One Matches
19:45 Cheltenham(3) Draw(3.25) Scunthorpe(2.3)
Despite Cheltenham being a much better home side than
they are away and having a decent recent home record,
it is hard to ignore BET365's 2.3 on Scunthorpe.
These sides are at opposite ends of the table for good
reason, Scunthorpe are five games unbeaten and with
Sharp avoiding suspension to the next game they have
the firepower to see off a Cheltenham side who have no
wins in five and were poor in losing last time out to
Huddersfield.
19:45 Tranmere(1.8) Draw(3.6) Crewe(4.5)
This is a tough one to call as Tranmere are really
starting to stutter after such a strong start, with
only one win in eight confidence is not high at
Tranmere. Crewe for their part are unbeaten in three
although they haven't really beaten anyone. Crewe are
more than capable of winning ths one, but I'm going to
take a watching brief on this as Crewe are very hit
and miss, what is certain though is they will score at
least once, and Maynard and Varney are the men in form
at 2.5 and 2.75 anytime market.

Coca-Cola League Two Matches
19:45 Accrington(2.5) Draw(3.25) Mansfield(2.75)
Mansfield represent good value here on the not to lose
market, a great 3-1 away win at hereford will have
them buzzing with confidence which is something
Accrington are in very short supply of, just one point
from five games means they face a real relegation
battle.

19:45 Bury(2.25) Draw(3.25) Darlington(3.3)
In terms of value I would say Darlington are it for
today, there is no way they should be 3.3,but then
again I'm not going to bet. Although Bury have gone
off the rails and were lucky not to lose to Torquay
(who can't buy a win) Darlington still have to
convince me. Although encouraging noises came out of
the second half performance versus Peterborough,
Peterborough have been awful recently and as such this
one to take a watching brief on for me.

FA Cup Matches
19:45 Barnsley(2.25) Draw(3.27) Southend(3.2)
Another one I'm recommending you take on the draw and
away win is Southend at 3.25 the win, 3.27 the draw.
The reasons are that although both these teams are so
close in the league race, they are miles apart in the
form table. Southend are unbeaten in their last five
games including victories over Cardiff and West Brom,
five games is also the last Barnsley registered a win
and Simon Davey's honeymoon period is well and truly
over. The last game between these side showed their
was little between these two and this could go to
extra time and in tight cup games, the draw becomes a
little extra valuable.

19:45 Coventry(2.05) Draw(3.28) Bristol City(3.75)
No doubt many of you will pile into Bristol City and
far be it for me to talk you of it, the home side are
playing some poor stuff and were four down at half
time against Palace and pressure is mounting on Mickey
Adams, the loss of Elliot Ward is especially being
felt at the back. Bristol City for their part are on
a great unbeaten run of 13 games. Again they
represent good value on the draw, and away win market.
Especially as Bristol City tend to draw a lot more
than they win away from home. The real value though
is on the anytime market Brooker and Jevons are 3.6
and 3.8 with Paddy Power and the way Coventry are
defending should present a host of chances for the
Bristol City forwards.

19:45 Ipswich(1.44) Draw(4.4) Chester(8.3)
I toyed with the idea of taking the away win, draw no
lose on this one, especially if you consider Chester's
recent away record in which they have won the last
three and drew the two previous. Mark Wright has a
defensive formation with quick counter attackers that
works so well away from home and Ipswich need to be
very wary. However I'll refrain from Chester as their
list of away victories is against less than stellar
teams, which is not to say the money should be on
Ipswich bearing in mind their less than stellar form,
so I'd suggest getting on the handicap, you have to go
back to November 19 and the 3-1 win over Norwich for
the last time Ipswich won by two clear. Chester on
the plus one are 2.9 with Paddy Power and it's 3.4 the
plus one on the draw. This seems very good value in a
tight game.
19:45 Luton(2.1) Draw(3.52) QPR(3.65)
I've seen a lot of people advise QPR but they are
without their star man Lee Cook and don't have the
best of away records while Luton might be showing
improved signs but the odds are way too short for the
home side. In the others market it's also tough to
call, both have defences that can leak goals, while
both have strikeforces that are missing key men, for
Luton the sale of Vine and QPR key playmaker Cook,
certainly one to avoid from a betting pov.
19:45 Man City(1.57) Draw(3.92) Sheff Wed(7)
This should certainly be a great game to watch from a
betting point of view it's a mess. It should be a
tight one and the under market may have appealed but
the bookies are all over that, instead I'd advise
looking elsewhere for value.
19:45 Oldham(2.6) Draw(3.3) Wolves(2.8)
This is a real fifty fifty pick em, Oldham are a great
home side, Wolves a very good away side, this again is
one to avoid.
19:45 Plymouth(1.5) Draw(4.1) Peterborough(7.5) If
Peterborough hadn't sacked their manager I would have
been strongly on this, but I'm loathe to get involved
against sides who have lost their manager as you never
know how it will affect them. Plymouth are showing
improved form and Hayles on the anytime at 2.63 with
paddypower could be a real value pick.
20:00 Middlesbrough(1.5) Draw(4.3) Hull(7.5): I'd
never back Boro without Boateng at 1.5, this should be
a highly competitive game that Boro might just shade
but not at those prices. I wouldn't go against Hull
on the away win, draw double but Boro's home form
might make me offer a little question over that.
Instead I'll be investing in the anytime market Stuart
Elliot at 4.5 the Hull forward scored two at the
weekend and could make a rare start with Barmby out
injured. Yakubu should score but doesn't represent
good value at 1.91 with skybet and 2.00 in general.
Scottish FA Cup Matches Best Book

19:45 Brechin(1.8) Draw(3.6) Cowdenbeath(4.5)
19:45 Dundee Utd(2) Draw(3.25) St Mirren(3.75)
19:45 Queen of South(2.75) Draw(3.6) Dundee(2.55)

You can right off dismiss QOS and Dundee as this is
priced well, instead it's the other two that command
attention. Dundee United might well be good value to
see of St Mirren at 2.0 but it's hard to get behind a
team that have conceded ten goals in two games. As
good a home side as they are and as off form as St
Mirren you have to wonder what those two defeats have
done for their confidence.
To me the value in Scotland lies on Brechin at home to
Cowdenbeath at 1.8. Brechin are on a great run at the
moment, they have one defeat in 14 games against a
Cowdenbeath side with just one win in five, in
addition Brechin already have two league wins and one
cup draw against their opponents this season, 1.8
makes it nice value and can be taken as a single, or
as a banker in an accumulator.
