Theres lots of ground to make up after the disastrous midweek results. Ive been mulling over the league table and have came up with a few picks. The premiership is a quiet place Saturday as most games will take place on Sunday.
First off is
Southampton V West Brom
Despite drawing midweek at home, im still convinced that West Brom are the team to beat this season. They have strength all over the pitch and have good strikers in Kevin Phillips and on loan signing Ishamel Miller. They currently lie in third place 3 points behind Watford. Away from home they got off to a bad start defeated by Burnley and Sheff Utd in the opening weeks. However they seem to have stopped the rot in the last two away fixtures and will look to extend that today.
Southampton have fallen big time from the big days of being a premiership club. They are no longer considered a hard team to beat on their own patch and have lost 2 and conceded 10 at home in 4 games to date. Their defence is poor and this is reflected by the fact that they have shipped 21 goals in the 9 games to date.
Both teams need the point here today and im expecting plenty of open attacking football. Both teams are well able to get goals so im expecting overs to be the most sensible pick here. I also think West Brom are good enough to scrape a win too so il take them Draw no bet at nice price of 2 @ bluesq
Nottingham forest V Hartlepool
Forest to me are a good shout to take all 3 points here. They don’t concede many at home and will have a big home crowd cheering them on. With Leeds making progress up the table all the genuine title contenders have to start taking all the points on offer and despite Hartlepools good start so far I think they will come away empty handed today. It’s a tight call but I simply think Forest have a good defence and should be able to score at least twice here
Leeds V Yeovil
Leeds have Kandol and Beckford back after suspension and this will add greatly to their firepower. They were denied the 3 points last week after some dodgy refereeing decisions but bounced back with a good 1 – 0 win over Oldham midweek. At home they are near on unbeatable in this league and most teams wont fancy playing at Elland road this year. So far they have won 4/4 and scored 9 conceding just one. Yeovil are no slouches away though and have got some good away results to show for themselves so far beating Brighton and Swindon along the way. Still, a trip to Elland road isn’t appealing and Leeds should be more than capable of winning here,

Glad i kept the fate, keep it up!
Thanks Tom!
A lot more to be done though.
Took some late goals to get going here. The southampton game was a cracker though, had the overs wrapped up fairly quick, pity West Brom couldnt get a leveller towards the end.
+9.76 points profit
