HERE WE GO! Now we’re talking, finally an EDGE and I’m back in the race for the TWITS title. Need another few weeks like this if I’m going to do a late chase but after this week I’m much more encouraged.

Review
It’s heating up now, somehow Kieran has swindle 26 points to save his season. For myself another 10pts which keeps me ticking along. I do need to take advantage of this Easter weekend and get a big bet correct. Boro fans will be thinking what happened in the second half just decided not to turn up. Oldham left it late to secure the away win scoring twice in last 10 minutes of the game. Don’t really want to talk about Birmingham think they’ve already got the deck chairs up waiting for the World Cup to come along.

Gameweek 34 Picks
Kieran
Bolton vs Stockport (BIG BET) - Home
I know I went against stockport last week and it messed up my acca but I have trust in Bolton to get the right result at home. They are still fighting for a play off place and possibly even autos, so will be desperate to impress in front of their own fans.
Derby vs Stoke - Draw
I believe every time I’ve gone for Derby they’ve lost, so I thought I’d save Archie this time and go for a draw. Stoke are not having an amazing season since their flying start but are no mugs.
Barnsley vs Plymouth - Away
One of my favourite teams outside of the team I support, I’ve always had a soft spot for Plymouth and would love to see them sneak into the play offs.
Leyton Orient vs Huddersfield - Home
I’ll admit this one was a little rushed and now I do the write up after the deadline has passed I do slightly regret this…. but we move, you never know we might get a surprise!
Crewe vs Salford- Away
Right, I’ve gone for Salford about 10 times this season and they’ve pretty much always let me down. ONE LAST CHANCE. I promise.
Swindon vs Walsall - Home
As much as it pains me, at this point in the season I have to go for this lot otherwise there is nothing to consolidate me if they do end up winning.
Schoey
Schoey’s on holiday this week so no write up from him, but here are his picks:
Bolton vs Stockport (BIG BET) - Home
Oxford United vs Portsmouth - Away
Derby vs Stoke - Home
Barnsley vs Plymouth - Draw
Exeter vs Doncaster - Away
Masnfield vs Burton - Home
Will
Bolton vs Stockport (BIG BET) - Draw
Two teams fighting for promotion this season. Boltons hopes of automatics are not out of the question here but most importantly both teams won’t want to lose this with them potentially playing each other in the playoffs. The fact Bolton have only lost once at home, I’m torn between a home win and a draw but I’m going with the latter and sitting firmly on the fence for this one.
Blackburn vs West Brom - Draw
Massive game at the bottom of the championship. Blackburn winning away against Birmingham was monumental for them and taking them 6pts from the drop. West Brom will feel hard done by after drawing to Wrexham after being 2-0 up. I have to go with a draw on this one wouldn’t be a bad a result for Oxford as well.
Derby vs Stoke - Home
Derby were unlucky to lose against Coventry after getting themselves back in the game twice but Coventry class just showed during the end. The performance the Ram’s put in though convinced me that they can beat Stoke.
Oldham vs MK Dons - Home
The form Oldham have been showing they deserve to be in amongst the play offs. Mk on the other hand haven’t been great not winning in their last 3 and could be going out of the automatic places. I’m backing the form side on this one.
Crewe vs Salford - Draw
Crewe had a surprise defeat against Accrington losing 2-0 and they do have a chance to bounce back against Salford. A win would keep them a pace with the other play off teams but don’t think they will manage a win. It’s a bit of a toss in the air this one but being brave going for a draw.
Swindon vs Walsall - Home
Both sides in similar form in they have each drawn their last 2 games. I looked at this game and just thought yeah Swindon should be winning this game bit of a gut feel on this one.
