2018/19 prospects 19:31 - Jul 30 with 1320 viewswessex_exile

Taken from https://www.thepunterspage.com/2018-2019-league-two-season-betting-preview-tips/ (and sourced from the OMB)

"Colchester (5/1) are a fairly young side but certainly one full of promise. Their academy is producing talent and manager John McGreal isn’t afraid to blood their youngsters into the starting line up. Frankie Kent, Tom Lapslie and Sammie Szmodics are all likely to play higher in the football pyramid in years to come. All three are under the age of 23 and all were regular starters last season — they’ll only improve. Szmodics is a player that I’ve kept tabs on ever since I saw him score a hat-trick against Bradford City in the FA Youth Cup a few seasons ago. He’s a clever player, great with the ball at his feet, good pace and a nice finisher; he could be key for the Essex side. Bournemouth were interested in the player but Colchester is a place were he will play regularly. I expect him to be one of the best players in the league this season.

In the transfer market, the U’s have added more of an attacking threat with Luke Norris coming from Swindon and Frank Nouble arriving from Newport — both were regular starters for league rivals last year. They also bought in Harry Pell from Cheltenham who chips in with his fair share of goals from midfield. Aaron Collins has been brought in on loan from Wolves and they still have Mikael Mandron. They have serious strength in depth going forward and will be a nightmare to defend against next season."

Nice work MFB - quite like the look of the odds for U’s to finish top 7 and Stevenage to be relegated! :-)

Hope my confidence in automatic promotion is not misplaced but unlike most sides we have had the prerseason to work with the squad without new players coming in just before season starts.

Some more bets of Colchester interest, this time from Bet365.

League 2 Top Goalscorer (Each Way 1/4 1-2-3-4)

25/1 Mikael Mandron
33/1 Luke Norris
66/1 Sammie Szmodics
100/1 Frank Nouble

My fancy for this market is Kieran Agard of MK Dons at 14/1. A class act for this league.


Top South East Club

1/1 MK Dons
7/2 Colchester
4/1 Cambridge United
13/2 Stevenage
8/1 Crawley

I think Colchester is good value here.
