Speaker 1: Welcome to the This Week's Like a podcast sponsored by
Speaker 1: Sky Bett aka Freeze, Tom, Joe and Jake with you
Speaker 1: to run through the schedule coming up on this episode. Then,
Speaker 1: we're reflecting on the European action over the past few days.
Speaker 1: But will that influence our Saturday selections. Well, we're taking
Speaker 1: four automatic promotion hopefuls, all at home combined at eight
Speaker 1: to one. Please, if you haven't already subscribed to the
Speaker 1: channel to ensure that you never miss an episode. I'm
Speaker 1: remembered to keep it fun. Never bet all than you
Speaker 1: can afford. This podcast is eighteen plus.
Speaker 2: Please gamble responsibly.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's kick off by looking at last week. It
Speaker 1: was bad, but at one point it looked good. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about the fortieth minute it will kick on. It
Speaker 1: was happening. Burma winning Bristol rovers were winning Bornema for winning.
Speaker 1: It didn't happen in the end. Congratulations to Rotherham, who
Speaker 1: hadn't won a Saturday three pm away game since about
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. We've batted them to lose they've won,
Speaker 1: so well done. Congratulations, you've finally done it. All you
Speaker 1: needed was our curse.
Speaker 2: Jimmy's not on.
Speaker 1: That's weird who wants to take any comments based stuff
Speaker 1: of anyone got listen, Yeah, I got them. You've already
Speaker 1: basically read a comment out for us there, which is
Speaker 1: really helpful.
Speaker 2: But Bolton C.
Speaker 1: Got in touch to say the chastrakes again rather than
Speaker 1: not won away at three pm Saturday for three years.
Speaker 1: Then long come the lads, so cheers for that one
Speaker 1: thinking Colin Jeffrey was prolific with his comments.
Speaker 2: Well, how many comments there?
Speaker 1: He sent four and one of them it's war and peace.
Speaker 1: Just as a quick count, I reckon that's about one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty words. Quite offensive some of it, but
Speaker 1: thanks for getting in touch. Still keep the comments coming.
Speaker 2: Asle A I summarize, I'm just going to pick.
Speaker 1: Out one, which is you might as well get three
Speaker 1: monkeys than these guys. Anyone following these predictions and most
Speaker 1: weeks will just make the bookies more money each week.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a joke, question mark, We've got.
Speaker 2: A different monkey onto them. Hello, I'm back fourth monkey.
Speaker 1: We switched twitched Jake in for Jimmy. Sorry, lads, said
Speaker 1: Carlyle Charver two six' five one ten ground with your
Speaker 1: first two, wins then lost it all or she.
Speaker 2: Did sean's believe.
Speaker 1: Last, One Seawan, Scott dennis always Get, Actually Colin, Douglas
Speaker 1: i'll read you out as, well, mate Because i'm a
Speaker 1: fan of your. Comment this ocker has some work to do, now.
Speaker 1: LADS i Kept rovers And, wimbledon dropped the cherries and
Speaker 1: Added Donnie walsall And. Posh the one THING i will,
Speaker 1: say because that acker won't have won, Either Sean. Scott,
Speaker 1: then it was a pretty tricky slate to pick a
Speaker 1: winning acle last. Week everything that we even vaguely discussed
Speaker 1: we were really good at saying why. Not so the
Speaker 1: ones that we all had doubts on pretty much none
Speaker 1: of them. Won or the team that were like, NO
Speaker 1: i actually fancied them to cause an upset day. Won
Speaker 1: but if you went and looked at the slate now
Speaker 1: with the, results it would have been very hard to
Speaker 1: actually pick a Winning.
Speaker 2: Not not to defend you all too, much But joe
Speaker 2: messaged me On, WEDNESDAY i think it was When who's
Speaker 2: doing his prep and just literally, said you've got.
Speaker 1: Away with one.
Speaker 2: Here oh. God yeah it was not being on last
Speaker 2: week AND i had not looked at the, schedule but
Speaker 2: yeah it. Was it looked AWFUL i would have struggled
Speaker 2: to pick a winner any winning. Teams probably we were. Shit, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah we're going to be better this. Week all?
Speaker 1: Right well, ack round us off With Colin douglas Saying
Speaker 1: i'm so glad use so i'd Get so that's either
Speaker 1: somebody from if you let us, Know, colin either From
Speaker 1: scotland or The. NORTHEAST i tend to think if someone's saying,
Speaker 1: News i'm so glad you will never get to tip the.
Speaker 1: Horses i've told yous. Before take up the.
Speaker 2: Fishing jimmy's.
Speaker 1: Trying, yeah that's where he, is is not is just
Speaker 1: behind that wall. Magic the good news is the slate.
Speaker 1: Is i'm going to make very early. CLAIM i don't overthink.
Speaker 2: IT i like easy.
Speaker 1: Games this would just take an ie ay to or.
Speaker 1: Something get back on track with four picks.
Speaker 2: Before we do.
Speaker 1: That if you BACKED psg in A WEDNESDAY, aka how
Speaker 1: furious would you be This thursday?
Speaker 2: Morning raging while the hell did?
Speaker 1: They well we, Know, allison you'd have been, furious you
Speaker 1: would have you, said before you Bat?
Speaker 2: Liverpool so you're? Delighted YEAH i Bat. LIVERPOOL i just
Speaker 2: THOUGHT psg that this kind of happens every. Year doesn't
Speaker 2: It WITH. Psg he gets this stage of The Champions,
Speaker 2: league the battering all the frenchship teams in the league
Speaker 2: and among goes oh gets a bit carried. Away but
Speaker 2: they actually lived up to the billing of being looking
Speaker 2: like a legit. Team they just, yeah they just met
Speaker 2: An alison in unbelievable. FORM i do do want to
Speaker 2: Credit liverpool in defense as, well BECAUSE i think they
Speaker 2: limited PSG's shot quality very. Well you don't remember too
Speaker 2: many Clear cup CHANCES psg. Had it was more shots
Speaker 2: from distance that Before allison into good. Saves but, YEAH
Speaker 2: i was just saying To joe before we, started a
Speaker 2: lot of people jumping ON psg to win the second
Speaker 2: leg At, ANFIELD i just thought that was a bit
Speaker 2: daft to be hones Because liverpool an't going to play
Speaker 2: that bad. AGAIN psg young will play that well. Again
Speaker 2: it's a, young INEXPERIENCED psg team and Experienced liverpool team
Speaker 2: at home in the under the likes in The Champions,
Speaker 2: league the old. Cliche i'd be shocked to football that.
Speaker 1: Advance it was interesting as well to see last night
Speaker 1: that THE tnt, presenters WHO i distinctly remember many of
Speaker 1: them early in the, season saying him And keller deserves
Speaker 1: a running the. Team it would be absolutely diabolical to
Speaker 1: Bring allison straight back in given how while he's playing,
Speaker 1: there there was.
Speaker 2: No real into that was the last.
Speaker 1: Night it was an unbelievable, display definitely stuck his flagging
Speaker 1: the ground for being the best keeper in the world
Speaker 1: by a clear.
Speaker 2: Margin i'd say.
Speaker 1: At the, MOMENT i can't think who was anywhere near
Speaker 1: the levels that he's able to produce all round game
Speaker 1: as well distribution. Him every Time liverpool looked like it
Speaker 1: might get an opening on the counter, attack it was
Speaker 1: usually him starting it as. Well sot, right just hoofing
Speaker 1: his eight up there as a, performance it just.
Speaker 2: Makes you wonder, there just Like liverpool have just Signed
Speaker 2: Marmadi shavili as.
Speaker 1: Well i'd say he's not been playing well as he
Speaker 1: For valencia. Either it's not really going well from over,
Speaker 1: there which who'd have thought buying a player on the
Speaker 1: back of a tournament.
Speaker 2: Always works as.
Speaker 1: Always, works so he's definitely delivered at the right. Time Arsenal,
Speaker 1: villa they did the. Job, Yeah Arsenal, JESUS i wanted
Speaker 1: to just leave it and did the. Job who had
Speaker 1: if you want More Sporting life football. Genius if you
Speaker 1: go back to the, preview ignore the fact the actual
Speaker 1: tip did win at. Six that's irrelevant BECAUSE i ended
Speaker 1: the intro section by, saying it's certainly a game where
Speaker 1: your eyes are drawn to under two and a.
Speaker 2: Half just sure landed six to. One, TIMBER i think
Speaker 2: that time waste completely. Irrelevant that part with five one
Speaker 2: up and he's time. Wasting it was just so Vinta jarsenal. Classic,
Speaker 2: yeah that is just.
Speaker 1: FANTASTIC i suppose To jimmy On monday afternoon about what
Speaker 1: to put in The tuesday actor that we do just
Speaker 1: on the. Website we did have a couple of comments
Speaker 1: coming in on the YouTube channel saying what are the.
Speaker 2: Picks for for?
Speaker 1: Midweek and remember you need to go straight to straight
Speaker 1: to the website for. That and looked at us AND
Speaker 1: i was, LIKE i like The arsenal, price but they've
Speaker 1: got no striker out this so we just can't trust.
Speaker 2: Him to score. Enough everyone scored.
Speaker 1: And he's joint the biggest defeat in, HISTORY i mean
Speaker 1: had to be. Unbeaten was it either at home or
Speaker 1: just all told fifteen matches something like.
Speaker 2: That, yeah having a bit of a, wobble but it.
Speaker 1: Was a broken man, afterwards wasn't it? Was he couldn't
Speaker 1: say anything pretty. Much the fact they've got to play
Speaker 1: a second. Leg there should be a mercy rule really top.
Speaker 1: Out they can just like allow fans to play a
Speaker 1: game instead or something like, that because this is ridiculous
Speaker 1: the second like The TUESDAY. Aca if you want to
Speaker 1: Comment Luca hemingway On, Twitter, george send me This villa

Speaker 2: It Maybe i'm on the account, now MAYBE i will.
Speaker 1: Replying he's a very good, writers but it's just.
Speaker 2: Correcting the no and the. Kne it's a little foible
Speaker 2: of this AN O. B there. Was there was a
Speaker 2: few decent talking points on the weekend as. WELL i
Speaker 2: think the main one Was millwall goalkeeper Just.
Speaker 1: I'll stop hurting his. Feelings everyone just.
Speaker 2: Feelings what's the worst tackle you've ever? SEEN i immediately
Speaker 2: went To Ben thatcher On mendez that live or just,
Speaker 2: no just in general like. That you can remember saw.
Speaker 1: The joe mckvley. Tackle the chef Was joe, McEvilly. SHEEFFIELD
Speaker 1: i had one where he flips and the best Tackles
Speaker 1: i've ever.
Speaker 2: Seen that was.
Speaker 1: Amazing Ruben, LAMEIREZ i can't remember. It yeah against, Commentary,
Speaker 1: YEAH i think it Was. LEE i think one day
Speaker 1: is one day with the. Boat it was like quite
Speaker 1: he was he was a really elegant. Midfielder any Room
Speaker 1: lameres and it JUST i think it give him. Concussion
Speaker 1: it was that bad. Challenge IT'S i can't remembers on
Speaker 1: coke cons but they don't use them anymore because THEN
Speaker 1: i went back and watched it.
Speaker 2: Recently that's a red. Cat, yeah all the other. Way, Sorry,
Speaker 2: yeah he's got to get, book did? HE i don't think.
Speaker 1: So Ben thoron bent that one's the worst because it looked, like,
Speaker 1: allegedly it looked as though he may have been trying
Speaker 1: to hurt, him which is why it was quite, scary
Speaker 1: and he like stared over him like it was more
Speaker 1: combat at the.
Speaker 2: End didn't.
Speaker 1: He it's definitely an accident That Leam roberts. ONE i
Speaker 1: think he potentially bottled it a bit not to go
Speaker 1: in with his, head SO i ended up going in
Speaker 1: with his.
Speaker 2: Foot mistimed. It so does the reverse of The. Marne
Speaker 2: it was so. Dangerous from a few years. Ago marnee
Speaker 2: did the same To edison when he came rushing. Out,
Speaker 2: yeah it was.
Speaker 1: Awful, so, yeah it's as bad AS i can remember
Speaker 1: seeing Howb, yeah it was. Shocking Steve parrish at least
Speaker 1: kept his own, counsel which is.
Speaker 2: Good those WEIRD.
Speaker 1: Bbc halftime interviews with chairman of clubs that has really
Speaker 1: come to.
Speaker 2: The fore on that.
Speaker 1: One, Anyway can we just talk about the long? Term,
Speaker 1: no we absolutely. Can't one of my players just got
Speaker 1: kicked in the head bag goalkeeper and he's in. Hospital
Speaker 1: we don't know whether he's gain. Consciousness we can't talk
Speaker 1: about other.
Speaker 2: Stuff they're giving him an extended, well can We is
Speaker 2: that all? Right try?
Speaker 1: It they're pushing for, it which again from the club
Speaker 1: who brought. You no one likes, Us we don't, care,
Speaker 1: sequel please stop hurting our. Feelings but, anyway bad. Tackle
Speaker 1: nobody's saying he went out and meant. It but these
Speaker 1: things can be. True it was a fucking atrocious. Challenge
Speaker 1: can't do.
Speaker 2: That and some people say.
Speaker 1: Those are, true and nobody, like we don't going out
Speaker 1: and saying his intention was to. Try, no that's of course.
Speaker 1: Not it happens you make bad, decisions that's. Fine there's
Speaker 1: a consequence to making bad. Decisions that's unfortunately also. True
Speaker 1: that's like the middle ground THAT i don't think many
Speaker 1: parties are kind of seen as part of.
Speaker 2: It BECAUSE i was trying to my brother about it
Speaker 2: the week and he was, LIKE i don't think that's
Speaker 2: a red. Card i'm, like, what, okay you just literally
Speaker 2: sweep your, music gone for the, Head like obviously he's
Speaker 2: gone for the, ball but he foot's that. HIGH i
Speaker 2: Mean mateta's what six foot two three four maybe gives
Speaker 2: his tuppedin. Shirt remember when he when he first came
Speaker 2: To palace and he had the platts and the it was.
Speaker 2: Terrible so then he shaved it all off and just
Speaker 2: turned into proudly when he rebadged, himself rebranded First samsons worked.
Speaker 2: Well barbers responsible for. That they needed a right. Range
Speaker 2: millwall won't feature this week because they're at twelve. Thirty
Speaker 2: Will palace heard You wall to start? THIS i JUST
Speaker 2: i wanted To, yeah, ipswich which is a nice way to.
Speaker 2: Start AND i think that's value If matet's playing by
Speaker 2: DON'T i say what If mateta is not going to? Play,
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean he's not going to. Play And ketty
Speaker 2: came off the bench and got a, goal which is
Speaker 2: good for his. Confidence ketty has started.
Speaker 1: Scoring at least he's got a couple, hour hasn't he
Speaker 1: in the past couple of, weeks which he desperately.
Speaker 2: Needed thirty million quid it's a lot of.
Speaker 1: Money For, palace AND i saw this week that it
Speaker 1: might have been Pulled barber maybe At brighton was saying
Speaker 1: that he like it shows like he felt uncomfortable paying
Speaker 1: forty million For Georginio ruter and who had just sent
Speaker 1: thirty million for Shiar pedro as, well and it just
Speaker 1: shows that got to spend that money now if you're
Speaker 1: not if you're anywhere in The Premier, league is like
Speaker 1: the going rate to get. Anyone but it's not happened for.
Speaker 2: Him But i'm not sure one to two is a bit?
Speaker 1: Short are they better Than? NIPSWICH i was impressed Within
Speaker 1: catcher off the. BENCH i know it's against the big
Speaker 1: caveats is against ten man championship Strugglers, millwall BUT i
Speaker 1: just thought he's all around. Game he looked really, Sharp
Speaker 1: SO i wouldn't immediately draw a line through it because
Speaker 1: of the fact that he's going to be playing instead Of.
Speaker 1: Mateta of, Course mateta has been in superb form For Crystal.
Speaker 1: PALACE i would probably because of it because of being
Speaker 1: one to. Two i'd probably leave it to one side
Speaker 1: initially in search of slightly more favorable, prices just so
Speaker 1: we're not boxing ourselves in, early BUT i do have
Speaker 1: it down as a. SELECTION i like for as you alluded, To,
Speaker 1: tom then like getting Against. Ipswich pallace have been really
Speaker 1: really good for a long.
Speaker 2: Period of a bit of a nine wins in.
Speaker 1: Twelve, yeah so THAT'S i think they absolutely destroyed Aston
Speaker 1: villa at home, recently SO i would feel confident that
Speaker 1: they will Beat. IPSWICH i Know ipswich stung us in
Speaker 1: An acha only a couple.
Speaker 2: Of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That which you've happened at The, ethnically Aston villa deserved
Speaker 1: to win that. Game Crystal pallace are a good. Team then,
Speaker 1: YEAH i do like the. Selection it's JUST i think
Speaker 1: it's right on the line of of value price, wise
Speaker 1: and then there is the The selight change up, front
Speaker 1: So i'd say it's one to put a pin.
Speaker 2: In where should we?
Speaker 1: Go where did you want to chuck one in to start?
Speaker 1: WITH i mean there are a couple of immediately jump
Speaker 1: out to me that we've not to somebody else want
Speaker 1: to go to Beat. Luton why they're four to, SIX
Speaker 1: i don't. Know Just burnley to Beat luton.
Speaker 2: Baffling it's Again.
Speaker 1: Burnley conceded in midweek that was a, strange strange, phenomena
Speaker 1: but again it's the championship promotion contenders Of Sheffield, united
Speaker 1: who are well mentioned shortly And burnley just always, big.
Speaker 1: Overpriced it feels like in. GAMES i think it's fundamentally
Speaker 1: because they're. Well they're not they're not not, good but
Speaker 1: in terms of performance levels they're not as good as the.
Speaker 1: Leaders but still they're winning most, Weeks they're still hanging,
Speaker 1: Around they're still well within the, race and the fact
Speaker 1: that the Schedule leeds Play portsmouth On sunday got a
Speaker 1: chance to put more pressure on it for both of
Speaker 1: them And luton. Haven't Again we've said it, before they're
Speaker 1: going down. Effectively now it's there's the time to turn it.
Speaker 1: Around is quickly running. Out they have five points a
Speaker 1: drift Of, cardiff who playing quite well in terms of
Speaker 1: picking up results in and getting stuff and that kind
Speaker 1: of Seven i'll hammering was a nice reset point for.
Speaker 1: Them Stoke hull who actually won a home game for
Speaker 1: once a well done to.
Speaker 2: Them.
Speaker 1: Oxford The Gary rowitt thing has kind of dropped, off
Speaker 1: but they went on such a good run that they
Speaker 1: dragged themselves out of. Trouble luton are running out of,
Speaker 1: time and they are showing no signs of real life in. Truth,
Speaker 1: yes they did Beat portsmouth that was. Narrowly in away games,
Speaker 1: especially it's absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2: On their way. Record, yeah.
Speaker 1: Terrible i'm gonna guess they must have beaten someone they
Speaker 1: beat qprs Under.
Speaker 2: Edwards i've won once away from home all season and
Speaker 2: they've lost thirteen of the last fourteen away league. Games
Speaker 2: the only point they picked up in that time was
Speaker 2: away At Sheffield wednesday in a game that they considered
Speaker 2: over two x Bale. WALL i know it was A
Speaker 2: london team in. Blue so they are absolutely tragic away
Speaker 2: from home and now that going against one of the
Speaker 2: teams in the. League simple, simple it.
Speaker 1: Is four to six best. Price that is said that
Speaker 1: it is bonkers if you kick off the echo with.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah first pick then of this WEEK'S aka comes from
Speaker 1: The Skybet. Championship it is promotion hopefuls At burnley to
Speaker 1: beat relegation Of threat And. Luton you want to pick
Speaker 1: up On Sheffield united BECAUSE i did mention it in
Speaker 1: that last. Bit they are seven to ten to Beat
Speaker 1: preston at. Home, preston who ARE Fa cup quarter. Finalists fantastic.
Speaker 1: ACHIEVEMENT i feel like that run and a lot of
Speaker 1: their season has been dependent on home. Games well, asked
Speaker 1: do we Think sheffield units are overpriced for a home
Speaker 1: win at the weekend seven to?
Speaker 2: TEN i think so. YEAH i think earlier on in
Speaker 2: the season they're probably a little bit fortunate to be
Speaker 2: so high in the. Table but the last six seven
Speaker 2: eight games they've actually started playing like a team that
Speaker 2: you expect finish in the top. Four got a good
Speaker 2: change in terms of, process and just at home they've
Speaker 2: been very very. Strong twelve, wins two, draws three. Defeats
Speaker 2: defeats came To burnley leads and then just a really
Speaker 2: random one Against hull where they just you, know the
Speaker 2: whole were bit clinical with the with the chances on that.
Speaker 2: Occasion and the drawers were Against west from and other
Speaker 2: team in the top six AND qpr and the very
Speaker 2: first home game of the. Season So i've been pretty
Speaker 2: much flawless at home and against bottom to half. Teams
Speaker 2: at home they've won, eight drawn, one lost, one so
Speaker 2: they've been very very dominant wh they're playing against kind
Speaker 2: of below average. Teams and Then preston away just they've
Speaker 2: played four away games against the top. Eight they drawn
Speaker 2: ones lost, three so when they again play the better,
Speaker 2: teams they had to. LOSE i think the. DRAW i
Speaker 2: bet you can guess where the draw game to. Drawer
Speaker 2: i'm gonna go big fat nil nil nil at you are, Correct,
Speaker 2: YES i can't see that happening. Here AND i know
Speaker 2: there's a little subplot of Hecking bottom returned Into Sheffield,
Speaker 2: united but they don't travel Well. Preston they've Got Cup
Speaker 2: cup quarter finals to think. About they don't want you,
Speaker 2: know they're not playing for anything in the. LEAGUE i
Speaker 2: can't imagine they want to go there and play too much.
Speaker 2: Spoiler and the price is just. MASSIVE i mean what
Speaker 2: price would leads be it To preston one to, three,
Speaker 2: three one to four, Probably So Sheffield united in my,
Speaker 2: book should be probably one to two at the very,
Speaker 2: least and we're getting seven to. Ten doesn't make.
Speaker 1: Sense preston are in the F A cup quarter. Finals Bristol,
Speaker 1: CITY i like mentioned shortly, again they are in the
Speaker 1: top six. Race what has someone done with? Football And
Speaker 1: bristol's like if they broke at it together and go
Speaker 1: back down to what is, it, eleventh, tenth, eleventh they
Speaker 1: need to just.
Speaker 2: Then preston always just. Back they just need to full.
Speaker 1: Time we say that, though actually do we have to
Speaker 1: put a bit of a worry On preston need five
Speaker 1: points to get up to the hallowed eleventh place that
Speaker 1: they always or feel like they always battle for The Chef,
Speaker 1: preston Then i'm all for. It eight wins from ten
Speaker 1: For Sheffield, united one winning six For preston in terms
Speaker 1: of league form for both of, them and then, yeah
Speaker 1: the long term in terms of where they are in the.
Speaker 1: LEAGUE i think it's a very it's a very simple.
Speaker 1: Selection Bristol, city they've i think we mentioned them on
Speaker 1: the podcast last, week they've kind of just snuck. Up
Speaker 1: they got into the top, six didn't, They then they
Speaker 1: slipped out because of a midweek, result and then they
Speaker 1: come back in again home to haul even. Money then
Speaker 1: it's real tempt to that because all have they've improved
Speaker 1: Under Rubens, sellers but they've been nowhere near. Consistent they
Speaker 1: got some early, results then they've had like yeah they're
Speaker 1: Not they're just not. Consistent they're not a consistently good
Speaker 1: championship team and they're right down in the relegation. Battle
Speaker 1: and if we just pull it back to simple, analysis
Speaker 1: then it's a team contending for those final couple of
Speaker 1: playoff places against a team that's going to be in
Speaker 1: the relegation battle to the final, day and it's an
Speaker 1: even money bet for a home. Win THEN i Really
Speaker 1: i'm not sure whether we would be over complicating ourselves
Speaker 1: by looking much beyond. That to be, honest we're concerned
Speaker 1: that whole seemingly have a knack of picking up away.
Speaker 2: Results, Yes i'm concerned about.
Speaker 1: That There's Sheffield, united didn't They they Beat sunderland as.
Speaker 1: WELL i don't know how they do, it but they.
Speaker 2: Seemingly do do.
Speaker 1: It of they're the worst team in the league at,
Speaker 1: home where they were before they Played pleo Far gal
Speaker 1: in midweek which they won away from. Home, Yeah i'm not.
Speaker 2: Sure winds in the last six away from home that's
Speaker 2: enough to put me off back in THIS i. AGREE
Speaker 2: i Think Bristol city are other more likely, winners hence
Speaker 2: the price had been on a good home run. Themselves
Speaker 2: but JUST i think we're still trying to figure out
Speaker 2: What Ruben sellers's whole team are and as you, said
Speaker 2: their home form has been rubbish all season and they're
Speaker 2: away fums picked a bit Like Sheffield. Wednesday they're a
Speaker 2: team you don't really want to pose away from home
Speaker 2: at the minute. Anyway, YEAH i initially looked at this
Speaker 2: and thought even Money art's a big. Bet and then
Speaker 2: he looked At hulls away for him and kept four
Speaker 2: clean sheets in those last six as. Well could they
Speaker 2: could go there keep another clean? Sheet im? Margin game two.
Speaker 1: Were settled on so far were Taken bernley And sheffield's
Speaker 1: by the. Way, yeah if you're, like just as a,
Speaker 1: double that's nine to five, double which seems quite. Big
Speaker 1: nice two promotion hopeful was winning two home games following
Speaker 1: the same. Thread are we gonna just look past the
Speaker 1: fact That birmingham lost a? GAME i was gonna you
Speaker 1: know WHAT i said WHEN i said at the, start
Speaker 1: we could just some keep it, simple keep it, simple
Speaker 1: stupid as average man once, said that's. It, yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: just take just Take burnley to Beat lincoln at with
Speaker 1: Take birmingham to Beat lincoln it at home four to.
Speaker 1: SEVEN i mean they lost it away At bolton, midweek
Speaker 1: But bolton have vastly improved since they changed manager and
Speaker 1: even before they Appointed. Schumacher then they start picking up,
Speaker 1: results but then they really have Under Stephen schumacher that
Speaker 1: it's such a Funny Division League one this season in
Speaker 1: the battle to get the last couple of promotion, places because,
Speaker 1: sorry last couple of playoff, places that teams are going
Speaker 1: on these runs winning between three and five matches in a.
Speaker 1: Row they're right up, there and it's all going to
Speaker 1: be about how he paced your, effort Because bolton looked
Speaker 1: great now for the, playoffs but they could win a couple,
Speaker 1: more then they could lose five in a row and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: They've run out of.
Speaker 1: Steam and, ultimately this time last, season everybody was raving About,
Speaker 1: lincoln saying they're going to be the team to beat
Speaker 1: in the, playoffs and they just paced it. Incorrectly it's
Speaker 1: really really. Odd But bolton are definitely a team Like.
Speaker 1: Charlton they're the two teams really on a heater at the,
Speaker 1: moment SO i definitely wouldn't be overly concerned About birmingham losing.
Speaker 1: There And birmingham actually struggled away from home against teams
Speaker 1: since the latter part of the last, year and especially
Speaker 1: against teams who were of a better. Quality it's either
Speaker 1: been a really hard fought win or they've dropped points at,
Speaker 1: home it's all less Untouchable castle the only team to
Speaker 1: have won in ninety minutes think was that also turned
Speaker 1: them over On pens into something that was an absolute
Speaker 1: slug fest For newcastle to get that win against a
Speaker 1: Change birmingham eleven, two Then. Lincoln they went To barnsley Last.
Speaker 1: Saturday they made a game of it later on by
Speaker 1: getting a couple of, goals but that's three two in the,
Speaker 1: end so it's. Three it's in four goals away At barnesley,
Speaker 1: side who have got atrocious home. Form it's very very
Speaker 1: difficult to make a case for them getting anything From
Speaker 1: birmingham that surely that game goes off At birmingham to
Speaker 1: win at one to, three it has. To so it's
Speaker 1: a very very uncomplicated.
Speaker 2: One not too much more to add to be. HONEST i,
Speaker 2: MEAN i think the most impressive thing about bernwa is
Speaker 2: they've had six straight home. WINS i mean they've won
Speaker 2: fourteen out of seventeen. Golf but the three the last
Speaker 2: three have come Against, charlton late In orient And, Wickham
Speaker 2: so they're beating three teams that are you, know Well
Speaker 2: wickham promotion contenders currently Second charlton An orient are pushing
Speaker 2: playoffs and they've beaten those quite. COMFORTABLY A lincoln aren't
Speaker 2: near that. Level lost four of their five away games
Speaker 2: against teams currently in the top ten the thirteen times
Speaker 2: in that period as, well so that their ceiling looks
Speaker 2: to be about mid table twelve and when you get
Speaker 2: play anywhere else above, that they tend to. Struggle so,
Speaker 2: again just a price just looks way. Off not too
Speaker 2: sure that it almost it almost makes us think that
Speaker 2: what we're missing for them to be this. Price probably
Speaker 2: in the same With Sheffield united And. Bernley what are they? Missing, well,
Speaker 2: yeah are they underestimating the golfing?
Speaker 1: Quality IF i get, THERE i think those three picks
Speaker 1: there and so far so then the three picks we
Speaker 1: have in this week. Sokka we've got the first game
Speaker 1: that we meant and There burnley to Beat. Luton we've
Speaker 1: Got Sheffield united to Beat preston And birmingham to Beat
Speaker 1: lincoln In League. One the treble the threefold at the
Speaker 1: moment at three point.
Speaker 2: Four to, one.
Speaker 1: Depending where we, go we could do this with one
Speaker 1: more pick then for a. Fourfold any other suggestions where
Speaker 1: we'd like To, Yeah southampton to Beat I'm, JOE, i
Speaker 1: well may get eighty five to, one. LOVELY i think
Speaker 1: there's one team THAT i hope we're all going to agree,
Speaker 1: on and That's wrexham to Beat, rodham BECAUSE i just
Speaker 1: thought the price was massive odds against For, wrexham who
Speaker 1: are still the second best home team in the. Division
Speaker 1: and that's not counting the fact that they've, well they
Speaker 1: they've lost or do winless across the last four home
Speaker 1: matches Played, Birmingham, Leyton, Orient bolton And steveninge in that.
Speaker 1: Time so three teams that we think are very. Good,
Speaker 1: oh two that are very, good one that's, okay one
Speaker 1: that's middle. In, yeah if you take those away before,
Speaker 1: that they were twelve wins and two, Draws so they've
Speaker 1: had a little. Wobble but if you split their home
Speaker 1: games into matches against the top half and bottom, half
Speaker 1: it's a nice nine game split either. Way against bottom
Speaker 1: half teams they've won eight drum. One against top half
Speaker 1: teams they've won, four drawn, three lost, two so they
Speaker 1: absolutely wiped the floor with bottom half. Teams rodham are
Speaker 1: the epitome of a bottom half, team especially away from.
Speaker 1: Home they are really really.
Speaker 2: Bad they Beat Bristol rovers last week when we got against.
Speaker 2: Them we're going to a. Year But Bristol rovers are
Speaker 2: not a very good team away from Them rodromus three,
Speaker 2: wins five, draws nine. Defeats they've got the fourteenth best
Speaker 2: underlying process away from, HOME i Think. WREXHAM i think
Speaker 2: the most, important most impressive thing About arexham is we
Speaker 2: did a few tiktoks a couple of months ago AND
Speaker 2: i kind of SAID i wouldn't be surprised See rexham drop,
Speaker 2: off but their underline process is actually improved since that
Speaker 2: period where they're actually started to perform like a top
Speaker 2: six team as opposed to mid mid. Table SO i
Speaker 2: think if they continue doing, that they are going to
Speaker 2: pick up enough results to obviously secure top six and
Speaker 2: maybe nick that top two. Finish but, YEAH i just
Speaker 2: thought odds against twenty one to twenty evens in most
Speaker 2: places looked a little bit too. Big and it's the
Speaker 2: kind of game That rexam are going to like as,
Speaker 2: well Because rotherin we're going to turn up and be.
Speaker 2: Physical it's horrible game of, footballers so they're going to
Speaker 2: be so direct And wrexam kind of like. That so,
Speaker 2: YEAH i thought this was a massive price again a
Speaker 2: team at the top end of the, league not over.
Speaker 2: Complicated what's not else to?
Speaker 1: Add to be, Honest, REX i think just piggybacking on
Speaker 1: What jake said about what we had to do with
Speaker 1: the couple of TikTok. VIDEOS i just Think wrexham did
Speaker 1: Great january. Business the thing that they were struggling with
Speaker 1: was eking out the fine margin, wins especially away from,
Speaker 1: home and we've seen it the last few.
Speaker 2: Weeks they've Got.
Speaker 1: Sam smith and Ger rodriguez up front now and then
Speaker 1: they Bring Stephen fletcher off the bench and he scores
Speaker 1: a winner for him in.
Speaker 2: Midweek what's the average height of those three drinking comers
Speaker 2: must be like six across the average or added together
Speaker 2: added together nearly twenty. Feet just can you imagine if
Speaker 2: you're like a center half and you've played Against rodriguez
Speaker 2: And smith for meansy minutes.
Speaker 1: And smith just big ones a brilliant all round player as,
Speaker 1: well that this is such a terrific signing And rotherham
Speaker 1: they've won back to back. Games that is just something
Speaker 1: we've definitely got with knowledge and late In orient that
Speaker 1: they you, know just have to very much because that's
Speaker 1: who they beat in midweek try and wrestle their season
Speaker 1: back together after suffering that bit of blow too late
Speaker 1: goals at home To charlton then Losing. RODHAM i don't
Speaker 1: Think rotherham as bad as the table, suggests BUT i
Speaker 1: do think That rexm are cutely. Overpriced it's the, price
Speaker 1: isn't it as doing they've won is? It ninety percent
Speaker 1: of their home league games Under Phil parkinson since he took?
Speaker 1: Over so it's it's a fairly uncomplicated. One the price
Speaker 1: is the is the?
Speaker 2: Clincher we could take those?
Speaker 1: Four we could would that give us a to one
Speaker 1: eight to, one WHICH i like just on the BASIS
Speaker 1: i know it's a little bit short than what we
Speaker 1: usually go. For but, then, frankly you're taking team in,
Speaker 1: second the team in, third and the, championship the team
Speaker 1: and first and the team in. Third is it in
Speaker 1: Sky Beet league one to win four to win home
Speaker 1: games this weekend at eight to? One it just doesn't feel?
Speaker 2: Correct what do you? Think So i'd be quite happy
Speaker 2: to take that eightes and then and then maybe discuss
Speaker 2: a couple that you could wander.
Speaker 1: To bump it, up because we always, say you, know
Speaker 1: we'll do the longer shot on the. Website if that's
Speaker 1: what you, WANTED i think that's a great. Shout tom
Speaker 1: the it's just your need to have a complicate it internet.
Speaker 1: Connection i'm trying to find the other ones.
Speaker 2: THAT i wanted. To so we've Mentioned Bristol city already
Speaker 2: as a Potential.
Speaker 1: Miristol rovers seven to two at home To. Uddersfield i'm
Speaker 1: going to get back on them BECAUSE i believe they
Speaker 1: will turn something. Around i'm also keen to get Against
Speaker 1: huddersfield when your owner is coming out in an interview
Speaker 1: radio leads and kind of, saying you, know there's no
Speaker 1: need to do them off when the playoff, played which
Speaker 1: is still. True but when kind of statements like that come,
Speaker 1: out you know that they're in a weird, position as
Speaker 1: it has kind of been throughout the, season you, know
Speaker 1: kind of at the end Of january and that deadline,
Speaker 1: day the general mood around supporters wasn't necessarily one of
Speaker 1: huge optimism that they could kind of carry, on and
Speaker 1: they've had to switch and change things around and try
Speaker 1: and find the kind of right formula and right kind
Speaker 1: of methods of going about Under. Doff it's just not
Speaker 1: quite been. There considering our lofty or mind particularly pre season,
Speaker 1: expectations and there's just no variety is there A Huddersfield
Speaker 1: there's very much like the exact same sort of striker
Speaker 1: across the. Board there's no kind of potential to mix
Speaker 1: things up and change it around a little. Bit there's
Speaker 1: seven to Two bristol rovers at home to beat. Them
Speaker 1: that was kind of my longer bigger price selection THAT
Speaker 1: i did want to bring up just in, case just
Speaker 1: to get Against. Huddersfield On, Huddersfield so with on the
Speaker 1: personally on the, SELECTION i don't think it's quite big
Speaker 1: enough the. Price so when we're looking at the price
Speaker 1: that we backed them out last week Against rotherham that
Speaker 1: was touching three to, ONE i, think wasn't it that
Speaker 1: for a team that have been in the top six
Speaker 1: all season THAT i don't think it's quite big. Enough
Speaker 1: personally On huddersfield that completely.
Speaker 2: AGREE i think.
Speaker 1: THAT i mean they've gone to complete, pot complete. Pot
Speaker 1: and it's it's back on the point THAT i mentioned
Speaker 1: a little. Earlier it's such a bizarre league this season Below,
Speaker 1: Birmingham wickham And rexham that seemingly there is not another
Speaker 1: team who can just you, know, win win, six draw
Speaker 1: a couple when and lose a couple and just do
Speaker 1: that all. Season it is just streaky. Runs and it's
Speaker 1: very very hard to call how that, playoff those remaining
Speaker 1: playoff positions to go into finish because of these streaky.
Speaker 1: Runs and it's talking about owners and chairman's who's gonna
Speaker 1: like hold firm and not get rid of the? Manager
Speaker 1: who is gonna? Decide you know what if we got
Speaker 1: rid of, one would we get a bump that's going
Speaker 1: to give us those three or four wins that might
Speaker 1: shoot us at the.
Speaker 2: Table it's a very very interesting.
Speaker 1: Time. Now will people get a boost if their matches
Speaker 1: get postponed and they don't have a game in the international?
Speaker 1: Breaks they have a two week break and they can
Speaker 1: get themselves back together if they've got. Injuries it's. Fascinating
Speaker 1: In league one below the top three.
Speaker 2: Have done the.
Speaker 1: Same stop what had that really poor? Run and then
Speaker 1: they won loads in a. Row so would you FANCY i,
Speaker 1: honestly honestly couldn't call. IT i absolutely could not call.
Speaker 1: It it looks like three of, four doesn't. It there's
Speaker 1: a three point drop to read. IN i, mean they
Speaker 1: could still be in. It or to play the game.
Speaker 1: More they're a point further. Back it, goes it goes
Speaker 1: down To barnsley and then there's that if you get
Speaker 1: on a. Run Well bards have done the. Same banzi
Speaker 1: had one winning, six then they won three in a,
Speaker 1: row then they lost At charline and now they've got
Speaker 1: a run of very winnable. Games but it's it's the.
Speaker 2: Same across the board.
Speaker 1: Tho because you look at The championship, one you go
Speaker 1: up a Division coventry they're fine, Form they've.
Speaker 2: You're eight in that kind Of lampard getting the.
Speaker 1: Credit LIKE i kind of Like coventry as a club,
Speaker 1: though so it's kind of like he kind of offsets.
Speaker 1: That and there was you watch them and you go
Speaker 1: and there's still something good. There there's will come Good
Speaker 1: West brom. Again kind of if you wanted to include,
Speaker 1: THEM i don't know if you like them against Qpr
Speaker 1: Under mowbray really impressed with them At. Leeds they it
Speaker 1: was kind of a nice time to play. THAT i
Speaker 1: think they were probably mentally drained from back to back
Speaker 1: huge games which they've obviously won later.
Speaker 2: On it takes a lot out of.
Speaker 1: You they managed to get a point there and could
Speaker 1: have won based on the chance your late. CHANCES i
Speaker 1: mean the first half When Adam armstrong went was played
Speaker 1: through one on one With mellia it was like slashbacks of.
Speaker 1: Horrible oh, god It's wembley. Again didn't score so it was.
Speaker 1: Fine But Bristol city we Mentioned Blackbert millsbrough Who millsborough
Speaker 1: seemed to lose every week and they're still always in
Speaker 1: the playoff. Picture everyone to a rown now and then
Speaker 1: they turn it. Around it is just across the, board
Speaker 1: The Championship League. One it's just it's almost, impossible and
Speaker 1: all as you touched upon, them and this is why
Speaker 1: it's Definitely i'm just enjoying the wider discussion about. It
Speaker 1: but in terms of teams that you're going to put
Speaker 1: in your, ACKA i think it's really really difficult to
Speaker 1: either back them or even go against, them because it
Speaker 1: could be the day that suddenly they get it back
Speaker 1: together again and they win as you would, expect or
Speaker 1: they win like you don't, expect because it's been happening
Speaker 1: all season with these teams that are like pretty, good
Speaker 1: they're a top ten. Team they might finish, fourth they
Speaker 1: might finish. Tenth so they are probably teams to. Avoid
Speaker 1: SO i really like the fourfold that we've. Got sorry
Speaker 1: for to get my, minute it goes my laptop stock.
Speaker 2: Working we've Not we've not even touched On league two.
Speaker 2: EITHER i was about to menture the team in league
Speaker 2: late In league two looks really.
Speaker 1: Difficult the only other one That i've got In league
Speaker 1: one Was bolton are odds against to win At, burton
Speaker 1: And burton are another team That i've it's Been they've
Speaker 1: turned around brilliantly Under gary bow yet and it's just
Speaker 1: the fact that it's that it's odds against And bolton
Speaker 1: have REALLY i think they've always had a good squad
Speaker 1: and it just came to an end Under Ian.
Speaker 2: Ebbatt did you see the goal At? Burton Conceded it's comically, good.
Speaker 1: So that that would be one that that would be.
Speaker 1: Considering it's no mean feat to win free one at
Speaker 1: home to burning, Him it's really. Not And bland results
Speaker 1: have been really good for six weeks or so, now
Speaker 1: So i'd be considering that as a as an additional.
Speaker 1: One but again for the points, Mentioned baltlon might lose
Speaker 1: five in a, row then win five in a row
Speaker 1: and finish, Fifth so it's such a curious point in
Speaker 1: the season team is making late charges for The league two.
Speaker 1: Playoffs colchester seven to five to Beat cheltenham six, wins
Speaker 1: four draws from the last ten under The cowleys.
Speaker 2: Looking they are.
Speaker 1: Six points adrift with a game in Handover crew as,
Speaker 1: well who currently occupy that last. Spot chester would be
Speaker 1: a team that may kind of that late surge of
Speaker 1: that very kind of distinctyle of play et, cetera but
Speaker 1: in great form and The cowleys who are obviously best
Speaker 1: known for The lincoln spell and it's been mixed in
Speaker 1: other places that they've gone, to but absolutely wouldn't look
Speaker 1: against them not making a charge towards the playoffs and
Speaker 1: that can start again or, continue SORRY i should say
Speaker 1: away at Chelt theam this.
Speaker 2: Week they've been very, consistent haven't, they which is.
Speaker 1: The very tough to Be, YEAH i know they've been,
Speaker 1: drawing but the very tricky side to get the better
Speaker 1: of when you look at the fact that they have
Speaker 1: lost seven games all. Season Only Port vale have lost
Speaker 1: fewer games across the course of the, campaign and that's
Speaker 1: largely again they draw a lot of, games but one
Speaker 1: point is better than notice of it as colches to
Speaker 1: have been the. Case it's just as it was the
Speaker 1: case when actually The cowlies came in at the back
Speaker 1: end of last. Year it was so many, draws it's
Speaker 1: just turning those draws into. Wins BUT i think that's
Speaker 1: much easier to do then trying to get a team
Speaker 1: who have lost six games in a row to then
Speaker 1: start winning. Again so there are POTENTIAL i did want
Speaker 1: to obviously flag them for the weekend as well before
Speaker 1: we wrap.
Speaker 2: Up there's there's No league two teams really other than
Speaker 2: Like bradford that ARE i, Mean prombley haveing a good
Speaker 2: run at the, minute but there's everyone else in that top.
Speaker 2: Seven it's just they're just shown so much. Vulnerability Like
Speaker 2: Knotts county looked as though they would have been nailed
Speaker 2: on top three and they've had a real wobble one
Speaker 2: winning five win more in the same not one in.
Speaker 2: Four veil just draw too many games to to consider
Speaker 2: finishing in the top seven as a bit of a.
Speaker 2: Lock and then you Got bromley who are absolutely flying
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden four wins in. FIVE i,
Speaker 2: mean can imagine if probably got into the, playoffs what
Speaker 2: story that'd. Be, yeah there was nothing in league to
Speaker 2: me And jimmy were chatting beforehand and the one that
Speaker 2: would like an outside that we thought might be interested
Speaker 2: Was morecam to beat m because are absolutely Single lager,
Speaker 2: though and the mk'd on so that's the one they just. Like,
Speaker 2: yeah experiment went, well didn't. It? Yeah the BUT i
Speaker 2: was the.
Speaker 1: SAME i hate The league two slate this week and
Speaker 1: absolutely hate. It it's it's it fascinating in terms of
Speaker 1: how the the results might, go BUT i hate it
Speaker 1: for an it's just as bad as it's been all.
Speaker 2: SEASON i think you're round up right off and get
Speaker 2: out of. Here. YEAH i think we Mentioned West brom
Speaker 2: briefly In West. Brom yeah at homes keep four to.
Speaker 2: Five that was one that made my.
Speaker 1: List would be they Get Josh mager. Back That Striker
Speaker 1: department's gonna be. Hilarious there'll be a major boost for,
Speaker 1: them a magic. Boost and see the commentary clip Mat,
Speaker 1: yeah there we, go, right let's get out of. It
Speaker 1: we're happy with the four that we had ye for,
Speaker 1: then teams that make up this week's aker are as.
Speaker 1: Followed coming from The Skybit championship Got sheffield unlighted to
Speaker 1: Beat Preston burnley to Beat luton dropping down Into League,
Speaker 1: one Is wrexham to Beat, rotherham and Is birmingham to
Speaker 1: Beat lincoln and price just ever so slightly shy of
Speaker 1: eight to. One remember to keep it fun never bet
