Jack Wright’s Weekend 11/4 Treble
Jack Wright's Weekend 11/4 Treble
First selection is a side who were relegated from last season’s Championship. As soon as the season was over Huddersfield moved swiftly to appoint one of the shrewdest operators at this level in Michael Duff. An impressive opening day victory at Peterborough has set the tone at this early stage. Another win last weekend at home to Stevenage sees the Terrier’s one of four sides boasting a 100% record but sit second on goal difference.
Progression to the second round of the Carabao Cup has helped build a feel-good factor around the club with owner Kevin Nagle praising the “strategic, tactical and intense” approach of Duff. A clear week with no EFL Trophy commitments will allow plenty of strategising on how to be the fourth side to beat Shrewsbury this season.
Birmingham have made a steady start to what many see as being a procession to the League One title. The 13/8 favourites with CopyBet have made 11 new additions over the summer transfer window as they overhaul a squad that was relegated from the Championship in May. After a slightly fortunate draw in their seasonal opener at home to Reading, Blues moved onto four points courtesy of a come-from-behind win at Wycombe with a Carabao Cup victory at Charlton sandwiched in between.
In last season’s Golden Boot winner Alfie May they have a prolific, proven scorer at this level. Chris Davies’ side are expected to inflict a third straight league defeat on Leyton Orient who have already fallen to the promotion chasing Addicks and Bolton.
After three successive play-off defeats Chesterfield finally won promotion back to the EFL last season after a six-year absence. Immediately installed as favourites to win back-to-back titles the Spireites were eased slightly after an opening day draw with Swindon but then flexed their muscles by handing a 5-0 thrashing to Crewe who lost in the playoff final last term. Paul Cook took no chances in the midweek penalty shootout win against Manchester City U21’s by making 11 changes. Highlighting laser focus on the upcoming league fixture.
Salford have lost three of their opening four games this season and the 2-0 defeat to Port Vale in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday means Karl Robinson’s men are yet to score this campaign across three different competitions.
