Last night was looking good, with both of our 2 point selections winning going into stoppage time – but then Leicester conceded in the 91st minute to Hartlepool, and unbelievably Rochdale then also conceded to Morecambe, turning a 3.5 point win into a 4 point loss, all in the last couple of minutes.

Hereford were a good winner at 7/2 against Leeds, but with Southend losing and the lack of goals in the two games we picked, it was an unprofitable night. Bring on the weekend so we can turn things around… in fact let’s start now…

Derby v Blackpool

Derby are a recent Wakuba favourite, showing promising league form (two wins on the trot) and manful performances in the cup. There are good signs for Nigel Clough – and they could make it three wins in a row with victory over Blackpool tonight. They’ve only won one of seven away, against out of form Crystal Palace, and could struggle against a resolute Derby side. At slight odds on, there is value in the home side.

Derby @ 5/6 (Widely available) – 1 point
