Re: Midweek Non-League 24-26th
Well, what can I say, that didn't go according to plan! Apologies if anyone went with me on Canvey, I might have known as soon as I went 'public' with any 'great tips' then I would come a cropper.
Just got back from Burnham - I haven't even got any hard luck stories about the game. Canvey took the lead on 20 minutes and looked comfortable although without creating too much other than the goal. Was reasonably confident about the bet and then just before half time Burnham equalised with a well worked free kick move which was their first real chance of the game. However, 1-1 at half time was probably fair enough as although Canvey had more quality they didn't seem to know how to break Burnham down.
Right at the start of the second half, Burnham were down to ten men and things looked rosy. After that however, Canvey barely looked like scoring! In fact ten man Burnham had a couple of chances to win it with Canvey unable to handle the pace of Burnham's front two. And then in true FA Cup giant killing style, Burnham won an injury time penalty, scored it, cue mad celebrations, pitch invasions, the lot at the final whistle!
So a bad night for me on the betting front, although at least Billericay won at 6/4 as some consolation.
I will post my weekend selections up here nearer the time, but if tonight is anything to go by, maybe steer clear of anything I suggest! Oh, and I will be at the Thurrock v Stortford match on Saturday by the way (although I won't be betting on it). I should just add that I notice that people seem keen on backing against Maidenhead. I saw them last week against Stortford and they have a new manager and new team and I don't think it will be long before they start winning again. Perhaps not Saturday, but soon. It was a travesty that we won that game 1-0.
