We were unlucky on tuesday though I'm not sure I'd call their first goal a 30 yarder, according to Swindon fans it was a mishit cross and according to me our goalkeeper screwed up royally. I'd view our game at Accy on saturday as one that's tough to call. What puts me off a bit is our H2H record at Accrington is nothing short of abysmal with 2-0 and 4-1 defeats (the latter in a match we had 71% possession in).
To be honest I've not read reports of Accy's games so won't comment too much on them though they do seem to have met two opponents who are bang in form.
Our defence is solid and if we can nick a goal we could well shut them out but I'm still not overly convinced about our scoring abilities. Really not sure where the bookies have got that 4.2 from for us though as I'd have this down as a fairly even match with an edge to Accy but only because of home advantage and H2H's.
Team news for Barnet: new signings Nicky Nicolau and Barry Cogan are expected to start which in Nicolau's case will improve the team (must admit I know nothing about Cogan though) in both an attacking and defensive capacity.
Hope that's of some use.
Those are two brave selections zzax good luck with those. Will come back with some research tomorrow hopefully as I'm off out on the beers now, but I'm favouring Wycombe and Mansfield at the moment. If anyone can sneak evens on Mansfield somewhere like
betfair I think that'd be more than decent value, could be interested in ex-Stockport player Hamshaw returning to haunt his old club.
