Sample previews and stats.

I spoke earlier this week (link) about the countdown to the new English season being well underway and touched upon my first preview of the new campaign, which was sent out as scheduled on Thursday and where I put up a bet at 25-1, highlighted something at twice those odds and then but up two very solid selections in a faily detailed 4,000 word Championship preview.

United are are in the drop zone and have just one home game left after today to preserve their third tier status, road games at Peterborough, Crawley and Wolves, do not immediately appear to offer much, given the Blues away day woes and they have been decent at Brunton Park, since Christmas, beating three top 8 teams and taking a point from mighty Brentford . They have kept clean sheets in their last four home starts and get combative midfielder James Berrett ( 35-2-6) back from suspension today, but for them it is less about team news and more about their motivation to be playing League 1 football next season.
