Workington away at Gainsborough Trin 3.0 @ Stan James

Trinity have made an excellent start to the season, taking seven points from three games and keeping three clean sheets. I do give them respect for this and the home win over Hincley but drawing with Scarboro' away and beating Lancaster City by the odd goal doesn't convince me that they'll be contenders come May.

Workington on the other hand have played a game less but there's been real quality in their quantity. A magnificent 2-0 win over heavy favourites Kettering Town has their supporters buzzing with the performance of their team. Prior to this they secured a very good goalless draw at traditionally strong-at-home Nuneaton Boro'. So 4 pts there against two real "heavyweights".

As always when it comes down to having a bet on the match you have to work out the expectation that a team will win and contrast it with the odds available. In this particular game I wouldn't make Trinity favourites by that much and would eXpect a price of 11/8 for both or 6/4 for Workington at a push.

I can't belive Stan James are going 3.0 for this one!

2 points on Workington for me.
