Last season saw a huge jump in the number of away wins, and it’s startling to realize that this season’s popularity is leaning more towards basement cards. At this level, and following last campaigns demonstration of punters and fans jumping at the chance to buy cut-price season tickets to see Bradford take over League Two will have, by now, learned their lesson that a manager and large crowds do not make a successful football club. Every home game last season enjoyed the bustle that comes with over 13,000 fans coming through the door, according to records. Seems a bit odd, as television footage denied the seats were quite that filled. In any case, even if the tickets were sold, not nearly as many got to enjoy the sights of Dagenham, Mansfield, Bury and Accrington ruling the stadium as if they were playing for the Championship. It’s lucky for the Bantams that their manager Stuart McCall knows his way around the League better than the back of this hand; any other leader might’ve succumbed to the pressures long before this point. Notts County will be coming into the Bantam territory this weekend to test themselves, though I doubt it will be much of a challenge for Bradford considering their opponents’ lousy finish last campaign. But it will stand as a measure for the West Yorkshire public. The only reason the Magpies managed to finish with as much dignity as they scraped away with was due to the loanings of players Michael Johnson and Russell Hoult to help them get a couple of wins in during the final weeks of the season. The new contributions to the team, so long as both Hoult and Johnson stay healthy, will be Notts’ weapon of choice as they gear up for the new season, and therefore a new opportunity for promotion. Ian McParland has let go over 8 players over the summer term to help free up space and finances in the hopes of permanently signing the secret weapons. The additions have improved them: after they came on, County only let go five goals during the first half of their last 21 games. The resistance to being scored upon was growing to encompass more of the game when the season shut down, ending their chances with seven losses in the last 12 games. The pleasant turn of events meant that the last five wins they did earn, they did so with a 1-0 score. We recommend that you enjoy the possibility linked with the 7/2 odds found on the match bets, but also keep an eye out for an offer being made by Bet 365: that the Magpies will take the Bantams, and block all goal attempts made by Bradford with 6/1 odds.
                   Meanwhile, team Exeter have come back to the football industry after five years, and though in League Two for the moment, expectations rebound that the club will quickly make it into the higher ranks of the lesser league. Home games will be a tremendous opportunity for them to come ahead, as many of their competitors may have difficulty with the travel time necessary to get out to Devon. On the flip side, Paul Tisdale, manager, seems to have come to some sort of solution to prevent the same travel sickness from affecting the Grecians’ performance. Some may even find it surprising to think the team is capable of accruing 20 wins away from home; at the very least, it’ll be telling to see if they can continue their form now that their back in League Two. Their trip- a daunting six hours of travel- to Darlington would typically be a reason to become depressed, but hopefully the fact that they longest trip of the early season will be the first- ie, opening day- will counteract the soggy feelings that would come with the expedition. Thinking about the failures of last year for Darlington might give everyone something to examine- as it’s rather difficult to come up with a clear answer. What did go wrong? It was a dramatic shift between the position the Quakers were dominating- a challenge to overcome- and then down at the other end, hardly able to defend their goalposts by the time January and the corresponding transfer window was closed on them. The winning streak they’d earned over the first 30 games- racking up 20 to their credit- and strikers were going down faster than the managers could keep up. Since then, Dave Penney has been ordered to instead focus on quality players, rather than quantity, though even that would be a daunting task considering that David Stockdale is no longer available, having been signed to Fulham. If Penney will play according to what the authorities are bidding him do, then the club’s got to rely on Darlo to step into the spotlight again. Otherwise, the whole culture of the team is bound to change if they’re to stay playing, even in League2.
                   The odds of the team winning their opening match are currently at 7/2. Another bet of interest would be to see if, at odds of 4/1, Morecambe can actually overrule Wycombe. Last season, the Shrimps definitely made enough of an impression for us to believe the possibility isn’t that farfetched.
