Jack Wright's Weekend 9/2 Treble

After taking just 12 points from his first 13 fixtures in charge of Lincoln City Michael Skubala has turned the club into serious promotion contenders. His preferred style of play clicked, and the Imps haven’t looked back winning 15 of the subsequent 23 league matches, losing just three and averaging 2.17 points per game. He will be looking for his side to get back to winning ways this weekend after a pair of draws has stalled their progress. They visit a Cambridge side they thumped twice last term without conceding a goal. A 3-0 win was followed by a 6-0 demolition in the reverse.

U’s boss Garry Monk is under pressure. After a summer which saw only loan and free signings arrive, he is yet to see his side win from nine attempts across all competitions. One point from the opening six league games leaves Cambridge bottom of the table and their winless streak in the third tier has now stretched to 12 of which they have lost eight.

After a slightly inauspicious start Birmingham are very much clicking into gear. After three single goal victories Blues have recorded successive wins by a two-goal margin and against pre-season promotion rivals Wrexham and Rotherham. As you would expect from a side priced at 4/7 with CopyBet to be lifting the League One title come May. Chris Davies would have been particularly pleased to see his men keep their first clean sheet against the Millers on Saturday, while the 2000+ travelling fans took delight in Jay Stansfield scoring the match clinching second goal. The 21-year-old now has three league goals to his name from his two appearances – what you get for an outlay of somewhere between £15-20m I guess!

Peterborough generally contests for promotion at this level but will travel to St Andrews having played in midweek. It’s been a steady start for Posh this term, but it is telling to note they have fallen short when playing their top 7 rivals losing to both Wrexham and Huddersfield.

I am taking Notts County to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season. The 1-0 loss to Gillingham on Saturday was a game the Magpies dominated for large spells, hit the woodwork twice and had a goal controversially ruled out for offside. Head Coach Stuart Maynard hinted at rotation for the EFL Trophy tie at Burton which will mean his key men will be rested ahead of this trip to the North West. County are League Two’s top scorers with 14 goals and four of their squad have already hit the back of the net at least three times.

The last meeting between these two ended in a 5-0 win for Maynard’s men and he will be expecting another three points here against rock-bottom Morecambe. The Shrimps lost their opening five league games 1-0 but have conceded five goals in their last two despite picking up a pair of draws.
